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 !

Esther’s place was exactly as listed. We were in Ottawa for the weekend to attend d a wedding and the place worked out perfectly for us.

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 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lisa's place! The spacious layout made us feel right at home. The kitchen is well-equipped with a large fridge, pots, and pans, making it easy to prepare meals. One of the highlights for us was the basement bedroom, which is perfect for those who prefer a cooler environment. Meanwhile, the upstairs bedrooms are great for those who enjoy a warmer atmosphere. The hot tub was another standout feature of our stay, providing the perfect way to relax after a day of exploring. The location is fantastic as well; there's a lovely path along the river for walks, and being close to the train station made it easy to visit downtown without the hassle of parking. Overall, we highly recommend Lisa's place for a comfortable and convenient getaway!

Had a great experience here! Great location and host was very helpful when needed. Will definitely book again next time I need to be in the area

Ore and Festus were great hosts. The place was exactly as described. We had a comfortable stay and they were responsive to any questions we had. Would definitely book for another visit.

Perfecte locatie in het midden van de stad. Hotspots zijn goed te belopen. Flexibele host die super snel reageerde.

C’était parfait pour la fds tamarack race

Very nice place and location. Lovely Stay.

Very accommodating and communicative

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.

This was the ideal spot for our mother-daughter getaway. Brenda has made the place feel so cozy, and communication with her was a breeze. The view of the water is unbeatable, and the location is perfect for day trips to Perth, Almonte, etc. We had everything we needed and more, we highly recommend booking with Brenda!

My friends and I really enjoyed our stay. Would highly recommend!

Kiara was a great host. Friendly approachable , attentive and proactive. Her home is lovely, the surroundings were beautiful and the docks were well maintained , which was a plus , as we brought our boat to explore the river and spent tons of time watching otters, eagles, herons, fish ( and fishermen floating by!) from the dock. The beds and sheets were luxurious, which was so very welcome as we stayed for two weeks. I read in the reviews about the “bonus goats” and chickens but truly didn’t recognize how important they are to encouraging relaxation !! Loved the whole experience. Thank you, thank you!

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.

Great communication, cute place. Enjoyed our stay.

Henry was responsive when we reached out to him. Everything you need was provided for. The yard is large and our dogs enjoyed their stay as well! :) The private upstairs rooms were appreciated by our teenager. I would come here again.
