A week of fellowship and painting

It was clean, well-equipped, modern enough to be comfortable, quaint enough to be interesting. We enjoyed the charming property and the historic village in which it is located. Very enjoyable week. We hope to return next year.

Family vacation

The place is exactly as shown. Muskoka chairs are in excellent condition by the fire. Kayaks are almost new and the large inventory of life jackets means everyone can enjoy the water. Kitchen is well stocked with dishes, cutlery, coffee and coffee machine, laundry equipment are all in excellent condition.

Cousins weekend

The house had a well stocked kitchen for dishes,etc. we did find the fridge a bit small. There were plenty of linens and towels. All the bedrooms are a good size. Pretty location. You can also park in front of the house, which we didn’t know until we unloaded our vehicles. Right next to the local store and LCBO. Wonderful coffee shop a walk away. Very pretty little town

A wonderful getaway with friends

We had such a lovely stay at Rideau lakes. The home is beautiful and clean, the kitchen had everything we needed and having a general store 2 doors down was just perfect. The extra apartment was also perfect to give everyone the extra space we needed. It was perfect for what we were looking for (a quiet and spacious place to spend time with our friends). We'd love to come back in the future

Lovely visit to Kingsgate Lakehouse

11 family members enjoyed a fabulous stay at the Lakehouse for a week. The kitchen was very well equipped for our big group. Linens, towels, life jackets were well supplied. Every day we used the 2 kayaks, jumped off the dock, used the hot tub and shared meals. We were lucky to see swans, a beaver, a great blue heron, and loons while kayaking. The BBQ, showers, plumbing all functioned well. We enjoyed reading the history of the area in a provided book, and went on a tour of the historic mill. The small grocery store, LCBO, and small cafe were within 5 minutes walk of the house. Being an old house, you had to watch your footing on the uneven floors. The owner was super responsive and helpful. The town itself does not have a lot to do, so bringing a few games and books is a good idea.

Friends get away

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful cottage! Décor is pretty, so nice to have the hot tub and the grounds are spacious, not to mention the home itself. The kitchen is well equipped and the home is clean. The TV is also set up with Netflix and other specialty channels which is great for options. We were a group of friends who have been getting together for years and this home was perfect. The host, Michael is very responsive to inquiries. Highly recommend!

A group of friends from Toronto and Montreal met up to celebrate Thanksgiving and we had an absolutely wonderful time. House is spacious and gorgeous, and has everything you need for a weekend away - hot tub, fire pit, lake access, all fantastic. Michael was a very accommodating host. Good vibes all around!
