Exclusive Lakefront Cottage on Big Rideau Lake – Private Dock, Sauna, & Sunset

  • Exclusive All-Season Lakefront Cottage on Big Rideau Lake

    Welcome to this classic, all-season lakefront cottage located in the heart of Big Rideau Lake. The main cottage offers spectacular panoramic lake and sunset views through large surrounding windows, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere year-round.

    This spacious property features five bedrooms accommodating up to 10 guests, plus pull-out beds for up to 4 additional guests (additional charge applies for groups over 6). All beds are prepared with fresh linens, and clean towels are provided for your stay.

    The cottage includes a large all-wood sunroom with ample seating and a breakfast table, ideal for relaxing while enjoying the lake views. Inside, you’ll find a large living room designed to accommodate everyone comfortably, featuring a fireplace and a Samsung flat-screen Smart TV with access to all major streaming apps, including Netflix, Disney+, and more (guest logins required).

    The fully equipped kitchen offers two sinks and includes all necessary cookware and kitchen supplies. Additional amenities include three washrooms, a sauna, and a mini-bar. For extended stays, a washer and dryer are available (detergent not supplied).

    Outdoors, enjoy full and unrestricted waterfront access with a large private dock that can accommodate several boats. The swimming area features deep, clear water with no rocks or weeds at the end of the dock. A lake-view outdoor fire pit comfortably accommodates all guests, while the expansive backyard—set on approximately one acre of land—is perfect for BBQs, outdoor gatherings, and events.

    The property is air-conditioned and heated by wood and/or propane (firewood not included). Surrounded by mature trees, shrubs, and fencing around approximately 70% of the property, the cottage offers excellent privacy. The driveway provides parking for up to six vehicles.
