Amazing place, accommodating, friendly and responsive host
Amazing property, very clean, well equipped, beautiful location. The host has a lot of pride for his place and it shows in the quality of the home and his service.
The property was perfect for our stay. We had driven from Niagara and was greeted by the owner who was warm, friendly and welcoming. Comfortable bedrooms, spacious living spaces, excellently equipped kitchen and outdoor facilities. The location was central enough in the lakes to provide access to other areas. Conveniently located near shops within ten minutes. Quiet, scenic and very comfortable. Would stay again.
We loved the location of the cottage - being on the main floor felt like sitting in the treetops; very peaceful.
The cottage itself was spotless and very well equipped- home away from home. Everyone loved the campfire, with the firewood already provided! Dwayne was an amazing host and truly attentive to our needs - we felt truly spoiled!
This was our second time staying here. The place was super clean and well stocked to meet our needs. We spent lots of time on the porch listening to the birds and later spotted a deer on the property. Lots of fireflies too! We will be returning.
My wife and I plus 3 grandkids were here for a week. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. There was a nature preserve down the road with a 2.8 km hiking trail, helped tired the kids out. Westport, a town close by, had a really nice beach. The cabin had everything we needed.
Dwayne was great to deal, would definitely stay here again.
We had a group of six friends staying at this lovely cottage and we had a great time. The area in the cottage is quite secluded, but there is room to relax at the fire pit or out on the deck. The cottage has many spots to relax, lots of games to play, and the kitchen is well equipped to make any meal you need. Can't wait to come back!
Dwayne was there to meet us and explain all the amenities. I and my two adult daughters had a wonderful, restful weekend. The beds were comfortable, the linens were new and fresh, and the setting was all that we needed in this newly built cabin. We would recommend it to anyone looking for a getaway in the midst of the woods.
We stayed at this lovely property July 20 - 27. The cottage was clean, spacious, and tasteful. The host met us at the property to give us a tour and extra information about the cottage. Check-in was very smooth. Everything we needed was provided - even wood for the campfires! The cottage was very peaceful and serene. Would definitely recommend to others.
serene. The outside deck
I booked this beautiful property for my family to get away from the city and reconnect. We absolutely loved it. The space was clean and nicely equipped. Especially the kitchen, its important to us as we do cook quite a bit. The property is private and very quiet, just a short drive to cute little towns and Gananoque. The bunkbed is noisy/squeaky but all other beds were very comfortable. Highly recommend this property.

The cottage was so well designed with enough bathrooms and bedrooms to allow us for a comfortable stay. The host was very communicative and gave us a tour, answered all our questions and knew where things were in the vicinity in case we needed to access anything. My favourite part was every time I thought I needed a specific utensil in the kitchen and it wouldn’t be there, it was!! The host clearly thought of everything!
The moment we walked in the place we were in awe of how beautiful Dwayne’s cottage is! We could tell that he put so much love in this place and want people to love it as much as he does. We spent time in every corner of this place and loved every single bit of it. The cottage is super clean and modern but also very very cozy. It has all the amenities you can ask for. Dwayne is also such a lovely host who came greeted us both check in and check out. He gave us so much information not just about the cottage but the areas around. We will definitely be back!
Thank you Dwayne for sharing your lovely house. We all loved sitting out on the huge decks and enjoying the peace and quiet.
Only issue the house is not handicap accessible. Otherwise loved it
We traveled the area and the many locks, we could have spent all of our time there watching the process. My daughter-in-law even had a chance to turn the wheel to open the lock for the boats.
We stayed for three nights towards the end of August to celebrate my Mother’s birthday. 4 adults and two children. We really enjoyed spending time around the fire pit and hanging out on the deck. Dwayne was an excellent host and met us when we first arrived to show us around the place and was always a text/call away with any questions we had about the area. The cabin was well stocked and had everything we needed. Grocery and LCBO were a quick ride into town. We would definitely consider staying here again and would highly recommend to our family and friends!
We were a group of friends who got together to celebrate two birthdays. This cottage was perfect. It is secluded and surrounded by trees. It is well equipped for the kitchen, bedding, towels and beds. The terrace is beautiful with garden furniture and a bbq. The basement is perfect for relaxing. What can we say about our host, Dwayne? Kind, attentive, he is very quick to answer our questions. We thank him for the welcome. We will definitely return.

What an amazing property!! The pictures do not do it justice.. it's so cozy and inviting; the owner has included so many little touches to make it truly feel lile a home away from home. The location is so peaceful and close to nature; there was a doe and her fawn right outsdie our window one morning and we could hear coyotes in the distance at night.
The home is brand new and spotless! All the rooms are well equipped and very comfortable.
We loved our stay and will definitely plan to go back again! The owner, Dwayne, has truly created a gem and was so helpful and easy to contact.. one of the best places we have ever stayed.
Every picture shown for this property matched the property exactly. It was clean and had everything you could want from kitchen items to towels to bedding. Every accommodation was available and even some extra helpful tools.
The host is wonderful! Dwayne made sure we had all the information we needed, greeted us, made sure we knew what was near the house and was available if we needed anything.
This house was quiet. Well equipped to handle any needs. Clean and well taken care of. It was a wonderful cottage to stay in.
This house is new and has top of line appliances. Our flight was delayed and we did not get to the Cabin until 2:00 in the morning and I text Dwayne and he said no problem and told me to text him 30 min out. He was there waiting on us and gave me a thorough explanation on the cabin. When I booked the cabin he had all 5 star ratings and now I know why. My family loved this cabin beautiful location.
We were two families with small children that met up at this cottage for an annual Thanksgiving family trip. Dwayne was incredibly accommodating when we needed to reschedule. He was very communicative throughout, reaching out and facilitating outings we wanted to take (a canoe trip with the kids - he called around to local business for us). He even picked up extra supplies we requested! At check in time, he met us at the property and gave us a full
tour. He was very accommodating to our requests for traveling with small kids.
The property was brand new, very clean and very well situated. All the appliances are brand new, the bedrooms were well designed and very comfortable. We went on hikes daily, and passed our afternoons barbecuing, roasting s’mores and hot dogs, and jusy playing the various board games left at the property.
Can’t wait to be back!
It was the most unbelievable place we could have had to spend Christmas as a family. Beautiful, clean, cozy, comfortable, and sorrounded by nature. The cabin is brand new, stunning, just as the pictures show. Every single corner is a reflection of the love and care that the owner, Dwayne, puts into it. He is also an incredible host, always responding to my questions promptly after I booked the place, offering to have a Christmas tree for us, welcoming us at our arrival, showing us around, making sure we felt at home, checking on us during our stay, and coming to say good bye.
We were lucky with the weather for this time of the year, so we spent time outdoors using the firepit, the BBQ, going for walks, and even went to the town close by to check it out. We were surprised by the variety in the supermarket.
I recommend this cabin to anyone that wants to break the routine, have a peaceful time and connect with nature. Cant wait to come back in another season to enjoy the beautiful deck.
Thank you Dwayne for an unforgettable Christmas at your cabin.
Great place with a well outfitted kitchen and fantastic outdoor spaces. We really enjoyed our stay. Dwayne met us at check-in to walk us through all this place has to offer and also came to see us off. We highly recommend this lovely home if staying in the Rideau Lakes area.
