Cottage holiday rentals in Ottawa River

We really enjoyed our stay at Dock Cottage. It was modern elegance mixed with warm vintage touches. It had everything we needed to make our stay really comfortable and we loved the dock, hot tub and kayaking on the lake. It was quiet and peaceful and felt far away from everything yet we were an easy walk from Miss Nelle’s coffee shop and ice cream stand where we went each morning for a coffee (opens at 7am), Muskoka Brewing Company for a beer and a few other Baysville shops. The communication and instructions were really helpful and we received prompt replies if we had a question so it felt like we were really taken care of. We will definitely be back and recommend it to friends.

Thank you for an excellent weekend! My friends and I stayed at Foad’s cottage and it was beautiful! We enjoyed the hot tub and game room very much. Foad was always very quick to respond and the description of the property was very accurate. I recommend Foad’s cottage to all! Thanks again!

Our group had a wonderful stay at the cottage! Cassidy was very communicative and the amenities were top notch - we enjoyed the lakefront view, kayak, sauna and hot tub. Fresh towels and laundry within the cottage made everything super convenient. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

This place was really amazing. Marcin was super communicative and clear and the home had so many spaces to hang out in - all of them cozy :)

What a lovely cottage - hosted with a lot of thought & intentionality. I'd rent anything from Wilder Waters - with their proactive approach to communication - everything is easy to access & understand. Everything from the decore & furniture to the ammenties like the sauna, hot tub and tranquil private deck by the water made for a great stay. Leading up to the trip Jennifer was excellent with communication - can't recommend this place enough if you want to enjoy the beauty of Calabogie! PS - Redneck Bistro & Oh El Ah's was our favourite stops.

It was a great place to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Having a hot tub and fire pit by the water was great.

This was my second time at Rebecca's place. As always it was clean, well stocked, and so incredibly peaceful. You cannot beat the views and the walk out sandy beach. I always feel right at home there. The beds are so comfy, the couch is nap worthy, and I could sit outside in an Adirondack chair and read all day long. Thank you Rebecca for the lovely accommodations. Highly recommend!

A great stay and getaway with friends for our graduation trip. Had a blast and had so much fun!

Jessica was wonderful, and her place is absolutely charming—cozy, cute, and beautifully surrounded by nature. Grateful for the experience and would happily book again!

We had a great stay at Jonathan’s place! Everything was just as described, Jonathan was quick to respond all of our questions. The kitchen amenities were top notch, it had everything we needed to prepare all of our meals. We also really enjoyed the new bbq grill. The location was easy to find. The house has an amazing view of the lake, which is great for swimming and kayaking. I’d definitely recommend Jonathan’s place!

Host allowed us to check in early way ahead of usual check in time which was great. Had an extra full day to enjoy the cabin right by the lake with private beach access and lots of gear provided by the host (Kajak, Kanu, Boat etc.). Cozy little campsite with fire pit and chairs. Great view of the lake and fall colours. Very quiet despite neighbours to the right and left. Vast selection of DVDs for movie night. Short car trip to supermarkets in Huntsville. Had a great time and would definitely recommend it. Easily accommodates 4 adults.

Had a great 3-day, 2-night cottage stay! The property was just as described—clean, peaceful, and well-equipped for a relaxing getaway. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate, but everything else made up for it. Would definitely recommend!

We had a truly wonderful stay here , everything was perfect (well, except maybe the mosquitoes, but that’s just the season). We absolutely loved the peaceful vibe of this place. It was my son’s birthday weekend, and we had such a lovely family time here. The cabin had everything we needed. We watched the beautiful sunset by the lake, played board games, roasted marshmallows by the campfire, and went canoeing together. Every moment was special and memorable. We really love this place and would definitely love to come back again. It’s the perfect spot for creating lasting family memories.

Lovely stay for our short time in Golden Lake. Clean and well equipped with beautiful views of the lake. Highly recommend for others.

This was our fourth stay and it felt like home. Always love coming back and even though the weather wasn’t great, there was plenty to do with the sauna, records, VHS tapes and games.

We stayed at Magdalena & Hubert's Brownie A Cottage during the Victoria long weekend. The hosts were amazing, communicative, and responsive throughout. The cottage was peaceful, clean, and had a fully equipped kitchen. I would recommend staying here for anyone interested!

This place was everything we wanted and more. Beautiful scenery, cozy place, private and quiet. The host was very easy to reach and very helpful. We had a small little problem upon our arrival about a breaker fuse being tripped. She promptly replied and help us resolve the issue and was quick to offer additional assistance if we need be. Our kids enjoyed the play structure, pedalboat and swimming in the private lake. I would highly recommend this place.

I visited the A-frame with three of my girlfriends and it was the perfect burnout escape. One of my friends was working remotely while we were there and, when we briefly lost Internet, Amanda was so responsive and helpful. My friends really wanted me to add here how much they appreciated the welcome wine that was left for us. Everything was absolutely perfect, we don't have a single suggestion. My girlfriends and I returned to our busy lives totally refreshed. We would recommend this place (and any other place that Amanda manages because she was just lovely) 1000% and we will be returning!

Slice of paradise. Really enjoyed our stay at Le Monarque. Myself and my husband (in our 30’s) and our dog were looking for a peaceful, private escape from city life. The rental was just as described and we had a wonderful time. Would recommend for any travellers looking to get a taste of the outdoors.

This was our 3rd time staying at Jennifer and Tom's beautiful cottage. It is a great location for day trips to Ottawa yet secluded enough to just relax. Fantastic hosts and lots of personal touches. Highly recommend.

We stayed over Easter weekend and enjoyed the peace and coziness of the cabin. It’s like a warm hug! We enjoyed some hiking at the nearby rapids and the provincial park close by. It’s a wonderful place to relax in any season and although there is another rentable cabin just in front, we felt secluded and had our own fire pit and bbq etc. the only thing we found to be missing was some shower products which would be a nice touch.

Our stay was outstanding. Very quiet and the lake view was amazing.

On the way up to this beautiful getaway, my wife and I were laughing at how many reviews say "We'll be back" whenever you're looking to travel somewhere and read the reviews prior to booking... We'd say, "How many people actually go back a second or third time?" ... Of course, our main thoughts after our weekend here was we will be coming back 100%. Incredible location, privacy, beautiful lake view as seen in the pictures. The fireplace inside a nice added touch as our weekend was fairly cold, even for May. For those looking to cook, the BBQ is clean and of excellent quality.

Beautiful location, great cottage, good for fishing, bbq, and campfire! Ideal for a cottage weekend with friends!
