Pet friendly! Welcome home to Bliss au Lac Johnson. This cozy 4 season, lakefront cottage comfortably sleeps 10 adults and is a 75-minute drive from downtown Ottawa in the Gatineau Hills. Whether you’re looking to watch sunsets over leaves of all colours, toboggan in the snowy winter season, nature hike through new blooms, or splash in the lake to escape the summer heat; we’ve got you covered! CITQ: 320496 INSTAGRAM: @blissaulacjohnson Our space: Bliss au Lac Johnson is a clean, newly built 3 bedroom, with great views of the lake from our panoramic windowed cottage. You can either watch the sun rise or set from the large patio deck spanning the entire cottage, or from your king sized bed inside while you enjoy a cup of coffee. IMPORTANT TO NOTE Family dogs are welcome for a fee. Please clean up after your dog outside. Dogs must be crated if left alone inside, you will be responsible for the damages. We are on a well, our water is filtered, but in rare occasions sand can make its way into our system. The water is still drinkable. We use a septic system. Please do not flush products down the toilet, trash cans are given for those items. THE SPACE Our cottage has big bright windows facing the lake. Allowing you to catch both sunrise and set from your upstairs room. Due to this the sun can heat up to cottage quite a lot midday. There are blinds to block out the sun if it is too much. We do have AC for summer. Enjoy the tranquility of winter, keeping cozy in the cottage while watching the deer cross the lake. The cottage is for families and friends who are looking to escape the city and enjoy some quality time together. This cottage is not suitable for parties. I am looking to rent to mature adults who are kind and respectful, tidy, and considerate. A cottage is a lot of work, and so we ask you to treat it gently so it can be enjoyed for many, many more years. BEDROOMS, BEDS, AND LINENS You'll find 3 comfortable bedrooms (2 large masters upstairs with King beds, and 1 large shared accommodation with Queen beds). Bed linens will be provided, extra blankets will be stored in the closet in case you need extras. The downstairs living room offers a pull-out trundle day bed for additional sleeping. KITCHEN The full-size kitchen includes basics of what you may need for cooking. Overall you can expect the basics: dishes, cutlery, cooking utensils, aluminum foil, Tupperware, cooking oil, condiments, salt and pepper, coffee/ tea, coffee maker, kettle, microwave, fridge + freezer, filtered and drinkable well water, stove + oven, dishwasher, dishwasher tablets. BATHROOMS This cottage has three full bathrooms. Each boasts a sink, flush toilet, stand-up shower. Hand/ body/ shampoo soaps are provided. Fresh towels provided. Upstairs green vanity washroom includes a heated towel rack. LIVING ROOM In the two living rooms both have a smart TV, and comfy couch to relax on. Free wifi is included. BBQ We provide you with two propane tanks that should last your entire stay with some to spare, if you run out and require more, we ask that you do this at your own expense. FIRE PITS There is a fire pit located out front of the cottage. This is the ONLY place where you may have a fire. Please be cautious and put out the fire before going to bed, with water. There is firewood under the deck. We will inform you if there is an active fire ban - if there is, there are NO fires permitted at all. THE LAKE The lake is fresh and so clean. It's a sand bottom lake so not to worry if you're not fond of seaweed (like me). It's about 10 feet from the dock. It is deep, 5 feet out you are 5 feet deep, keep this in mind with children. There are 2 inflatable stand up paddleboards, and 2 kayaks, lifejackets and floaties available to use. Do not swim at night please. The lake is named Johnston lake, and it's one of the biggest lakes in the area. Other things to note CELL PHONE RECEPTION You should have good cell phone reception via the Telus or Bell network. PLEASE ENSURE that your carrier works at this location in case of an emergency - we do not have a landline and so it is in your best interest that ONE person's phone has reception here. INTERNET We have highspeed fibre internet - great for Netflix and working remotely. STAIRS Our deck is located 12 feet high, in order to access the lower level patio from the deck you must be able to do stairs. Weather: We do not and cannot guarantee nice weather for your booking....and there will be no refunds if it is poor weather. Rural wifi: We have highspeed fibre wifi but outages can happen, please set your expectations accordingly. Power outages: Rural power outages are common. They are completely out of our control. In this instance we have extra water for flushing toilets, board games, flashlights. Wildlife: It is not uncommon to see the following: skunks, raccoons, snakes, spiders, a variety of bugs, frogs, rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, deer, porcupines, bears. Please do not harm or remove any wildlife. Poor Cell Service: The cottage is in the woods, and there is a Bell tower nearby but cell/ data service is poor among all providers other than Bell and Telus.

Then the outside view hits you. So amazing. We adored the showers, water pressure and hot. We slept very well in those matresses, kitchen is well equipped. Everything you need for a relaxing stay is there! We went fishing using the pedal boat. It was fun, my husband fly fished using the kayak. Bonfires were comfortable in those adirondackchairs. And the swimming was excellent for us 4 adults. We spent hours in the lake on a daily basis. We highly recommend this place! And we hope to go back. We made some beautiful memories. ##### Sandra Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hôtel Versō](https://www.expedia.ca/Magog-Hotels-Hotel-Verso.h4224465.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Montmagny](https://www.expedia.ca/Montmagny-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Montmagny.h4538965.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Grand Lodge Mont-Tremblant](https://www.expedia.ca/Mont-Tremblant-Hotels-Le-Grand-Lodge-Mont-Tremblant.h908076.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Hotel Universel Drummondville](https://www.expedia.ca/Drummondville-Hotels-Best-Western-Hotel-Universel-Drummondville.h74818.Hotel-Information) > > [Esterel Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Esterel-Hotels-Esterel-Resort.h173348.Hotel-Information) > > [Ripplecove Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ayers-Cliff-Hotels-Ripplecove-Hotel-Spa.h3183.Hotel-Information) > > [Lofts du Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatineau-Hotels-Lofts-Du-Village.h51840784.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Sacacomie](https://www.expedia.ca/Saint-Alexis-Des-Monts-Hotels-Hotel-Sacacomie.h1669175.Hotel-Information) > > [StoneHaven Le Manoir Relais & Châteaux](https://www.expedia.ca/Sainte-Agathe-Des-Monts-Hotels-StoneHaven-Le-Manoir-Relais-Chateaux.h35754543.Hotel-Information) > > [Manoir Hovey](https://www.expedia.ca/North-Hatley-Hotels-Manoir-Hovey.h1916301.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel & Spa Le Germain Charlevoix](https://www.expedia.ca/Baie-St-Paul-Hotels-Hotel-Spa-Le-Germain-Charlevoix.h8419653.Hotel-Information) > > [Microtel Inn and Suites by Wyndham Mont Tremblant](https://www.expedia.ca/Mont-Tremblant-Hotels-Microtel-Inn-And-Suites-By-Wyndham-Mont-Tremblant.h31502513.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Château-Bromont](https://www.expedia.ca/Bromont-Hotels-Hotel-Chateau-Bromont.h42433.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Vallea Bromont, Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Bromont-Hotels-Hotel-Vallea-Bromont.h1217770.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Trois Rivieres Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Trois-Rivieres-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Trois-Rivieres-Conference-Centre.h27987.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Drummondville](https://www.expedia.ca/Drummondville-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Drummondville.h11633744.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Sherbrooke Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Sherbrooke-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Sherbrooke-Conference-Centre.h27983.Hotel-Information) > > [Chateau Beauvallon](https://www.expedia.ca/Mont-Tremblant-Hotels-Chateau-Beauvallon.h1287452.Hotel-Information) > > [AX Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Mont-Tremblant-Hotels-AX-Hotel.h29059203.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Saint-Hyacinthe Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Saint-Hyacinthe-Hotels-Sheraton-Saint-Hyacinthe-Hotel.h23606700.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Tremblant Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Mont-Tremblant-Hotels-Embarc-Tremblant.h554509.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Lac-Brome](https://www.expedia.ca/Lac-Brome-Hotels-Hotel-Lac-Brome.h8366104.Hotel-Information) > > [Estrimont](https://www.expedia.ca/Orford-Hotels-Estrimont-Suites-Spa.h1680770.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Times Hotel Sherbrooke](https://www.expedia.ca/Sherbrooke-Hotels-Grand-Times-Hotel-Sherbrooke.h3604686.Hotel-Information) > > [OTL Gouverneur Sherbrooke](https://www.expedia.ca/Sherbrooke-Hotels-OTL-Gouverneur-Sherbrooke.h18964290.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Castel](https://www.expedia.ca/Granby-Hotels-Hotel-Castel.h5765124.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello](https://www.expedia.ca/Montebello-Hotels-Fairmont-Le-Chateau-Montebello.h10354.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Quintessence](https://www.expedia.ca/Mont-Tremblant-Hotels-Hotel-Quintessence.h1635310.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Spa Excelsior](https://www.expedia.ca/Sainte-Adele-Hotels-Hotel-Spa-Excelsior.h5127311.Hotel-Information)
