Vacation rentals with lake access in Ottawa

This was the perfect addition to my wedding weekend! Julie made it extra special with a welcome sign and bottle of champagne to great my guests and I! The place is absolutely stunning, so warm, cozy and just what we needed for a wedding stay with the bridal party. It surpassed my expectations and Julie and her partner were wonderful - we even had a tour and learned some history on the place. Can’t wait to come back !

The place is clean and complete with the necessary equipment you'll need. It would be great though if they put a garden set at back.

Great place, very clean, comfy beds. Host was great as well. 100% recommend.

If anyone is looking for the perfect getaway spot with family and friends, this lovely river retreat has it all!! Gorgeous property, loads of space for guests to gather together or all have their own little small magical experiences. This home has everything that could be asked for. Location was easy to find and access, yet felt fully private and removed from the rest of the world. This place is set up for entertaining and relaxing, I was impressed from the moment we opened the door. The house is spacious, airy, and incredibly comfortable. Everyone felt right at home. The kitchen was fully stocked, whatever you can think of was there, and the bedding and furniture were so fresh and comfortable. Extras everywhere! Our hostess Julie was amazing to communicate with. From our very detailed access instructions, to responding quickly to any questions, she made this weekend a phenomenal one. Julie has created a riverside oasis for any group big or small, and we would happily come back!

If you are going out in that area and looking for a place to stay, highly recommend. Place is just as the pictures show. Very clean.

We had such an amazing time. Never a moment of "what to do next". The house was very clean and well equipped. Really all you need is a toothbrush, and you're good to go. 😆 Our nights of sitting around the campfire, playing pool, board games, and paddle boarding will forever be a memorable vacation. The amount of board games is incredible! Though to me the paddle board was everything. Laying on that board out in the middle of the water in complete silence..there's nothing like it. Such a peaceful spot. Highly recommend, and will absolutely be visiting again. Also, downtown being close, was key. Our first day was spent walking throughout the city enjoying all of the amazing architecture, Museums and visiting the ByWard Market. The amount of food and shopping is fantastic. Another must see is the Diefenbunker. We spent 3 hours touring the 4 underground levels. You have opened our eyes on just how beautiful Ottawa is, and we look forward to our next journey there. Again, ty. 💕

Some places are just houses. Others hold space and pause. From the first moment we walked in, "The River Retreat" welcomed us like a warm hug. My siblings and I came here to honour the one-year anniversary of our mother’s passing, and it ended up being exactly what we needed. Peaceful, cozy, and full of thoughtful touches. Every room, view, and amenity gave us a chance to breathe, reflect, and spend quality family time together. We tried all the amenities, including the hot tub, canoe, kayaks, fire pit, and pool table. But our favourite pass time and location was definitely the home cooked meals around the round table overlooking the river. We left feeling full in every sense. Thank you Marlene and Morgan for being such fantastic hosts! We’ll absolutely be back.

We had a great stay at Lisa’s place. It fit the five of us comfortably with more than enough space. The neighborhood was quiet but still an easy walk to everything we needed. Whether you’re visiting for a weekend or a longer-term stay, it’s an excellent choice. Would absolutely book again!

Great last minute place to stay!!

This is an excellent place to stay. Exactly as described. Hosts added many special touches to make the place feel welcoming. Highly recommend.

It's super excellent , located in the center of the city , very comfortable and quiet 🥰 I loved it highly recommended

It was perfect for the Tamarack Race

Was exactly what we needed after a night out.

We spent a month and a half there, and from the first moment we felt at home. Thank you. Vesna and Velimir

we would highly recommend. Diana went above and beyond. There were so many personal touches that made our stay so enjoyable. Diana definitely thought of the comfort of her guests. we were there for our son's wedding and staying here made it easier to enjoy our weekend.

Amazing host’s and great accommodations!! I will definitely be visiting the CDQI hotel again!

We had a great time at Brenda’s space on the lake. Being able to look out over the lake was a great way to wake up. Brenda was responsive and helpful with any questions we had.

Beautiful spot on the water, with a perfect little area for the kids to wade into the lake. A dock for fishing, kayaks, and paddle boards. I love that there were kids size life jackets, made me much more comfortable with the kids playing in the water. Very cozy cottage and had everything we needed. I look forward to booking it again :)

This place is in a beautiful location directly on the Rideau River. It felt very private and inviting. The outdoor space is fantastic with a large yard, plenty of seating options, a fire pit, an outdoor kitchen and the possibility of doing water activities, or simply relaxing. The interior of the home is beautifully decorated, well equipped, clean and very comfortable. It was a nice treat to watch a few boats or kayaks go by, or to see wildlife on the river while sitting at the kitchen table having coffee and breakfast. It was funny to see the goats and chickens perk up and watch us, or run up to the fence as we were driving by. They are so cute! It’s a great place to unwind and relax. The extra little touches, such as fresh eggs and s’mores were welcomed. I would highly recommend Kiara’s place and would stay again if the opportunity came up.

Absolutely lovely house in a beautiful location. Great deal and lovely host. 100% would stay again.

Pictures and words do not give this beachfront property any justice! Looking out the windows and seeing the beautiful waterfront and having a bonfire on the Sandy beach was truly a dream. We went sup boarding, kayaking and enjoyed the water for the majority of our stay. There’s a cute little bar in town within walking distance. Even though you are closer to other houses you still have your privacy. The hosts were so kind and accommodating. I can’t wait to return and recommend this cute beach front accommodation!

I couldn't be more thankful to Sean for opening up this gorgeous cabin/house for us on the most amazing river. The house is immaculate, trust me I'm an airforce brat! The Sofa and chairs invited you ti relax as long as you want in deep comfort, and the lovely extra blankets and cushions are just wonderful. At night, the firepit and the comfy chairs kept us all smiling. The screened tent is fantastic for sitting right beside the river. The stones at the water's edge are flat and smooth mostly, great for getting your feet wet. And the best part of all, the wonderful sound of the river, which you can hear from the front door. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the wildlife. Ducks, Robin's, yellow finches, hummingbirds, and more. The chipmunks are adorable as well. MY friends and I were sincerely impressed and had an amazing stay.

This was the second time I stayed and there’s a reason why I came back! Lindsay is an amazing host, very responsive, friendly and was very flexible in accommodating my needs. My favourite part is how quiet and peaceful it is, but it is also clean and has everything you need!

Very nice and quiet place, beautiful area for walking, very nice view of the river from the deck. It was a great experience.
