Cottage vacation rentals in Gananoque Lake

Wow!!!! It’s even prettier than the pictures! Plenty of space indoors and outdoors. We were a large family of 8 adults and there was more than enough beds, towels, dishes, glasses, and cutlery for us all. 🙌 The kayaks were fun, the fire pit was lovely, and the dock was so picturesque. Summers in Canada = mosquitoes & blackflies, so bring bug spray and/or thermocells obviously 😉 Our host was gracious, kind, and responsive - a pleasure to deal with! We can hardly wait to visit again! 😃

Lovely space - just like the pictures. A little tricky to find the first time, but its location is part of what makes it so peaceful. The cottage was perfect for our needs and the hot tub was delightful. David answered all our inquiries promptly and even let us check in early when I asked. We had some issues with the internet service, but that was clearly weather-related. And although he was unable to resolve the issue before we checked out, David was very responsive and reached out to the internet company right away and made every effort to get it fixed.

My friends and I had an great stay at Colombe's Cottage. The lake was perfect for a few morning dock jumps, Hot tub nicely situated for lounging when it starts to cool off, and living room cozy enough to watch a thriller when it's time to hide from the Bugs. Taking a swim around the weed free dock and beach is a definite must. Colombe was very quick and responsive to any questions as well.

The cabin and its surroundings are absolutely beautiful, and Mark and Tayler are amazing hosts! I came for a weekend of peaceful relaxation, and I couldn’t have asked for a better setting. The small touches (like a wood stove set up with kindling, bird feeder food ready to use, vinyl collection with stereo ready to play) made the visit feel truly magical. I can’t wait to visit again!

This cottage was great! It looks just like the photos, but was bigger than we expected which was nice! Clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Jamtel is also very responsive. Also very few bugs outside despite it being June which made hanging out outside really comfortable.

We were a group of lifelong friends up for a long weekend and this place was just an amazing backdrop for a long overdue reunion. The space was impeccable, the lot was beautiful and the wood-powered sauna & hot tub were well-loved. Everything was as described -- the first person that arrived simply said "this place is incredible." The manager was super responsive and really friendly and helpful as we figured out the sauna. We've been home and hour and are already talking of booking May 2026 ... now. The place is really pretty, well-appointed and we were thrilled with the weekend.

We had a wonderful bachelorette weekend at Joanie’s place! There were many games and water toys to keep us entertained our entire stay. We loved using the hot tub and sauna and had an all around blast! The bbq is in a perfect location to look at the pristine lake view as well. Cant recommend this place enough, perfect location and amazing amenities. Thank you Joanie!

We had an amazing stay at the Mellow Yellow Cottage! We are a family of four and invited my parents. The Cottage was so clean, spacious and had a lot of personality. We all left happy and relaxed! The kitchen is renovated and had every appliance, dish and utensil we could have needed and more. We spent loads of time on the water and on the dock. I was grateful for the qty and variety of water “toys”. My 9 year old and 16 year old were kept busy. The fire pit was used every night as was the pool table. It was quiet and private and was the perfect tranquil escape for your family. It was nice to have grocery stores and restaurants within 15 -20 min. The visit to Kingston for a few hours was also enjoyable. Overall amazing stay, highly recommend for families of varying ages. Host was engaged and proactive.

We had a great time staying at Cassie's. The bnb was lovely and the views were awesome at sunset. Would definitely stay again if I'm ever in Ogdensberg again!

Wonderful week out on the river! Beautiful waterfront property, well taken care of, clean and modern inside cottage. Screened in porch was perfect for the cooler weather to snuggle up with a good book.

Really nice cottage and the inside was very clean. The location is perfect if you want access to the river, the docking space is well protected with 3-4’ at the dock (June). We will be coming back next year.

The cottage was beautiful, clean and comfortable. Waterfront has a nice dock and lots of fish in the lake. The outdoor fire pit and outdoor bbq are also great. We had an amazing time there!

I was lucky to come to Isabelle’s place for a family getaway. It was the perfect place for relaxing - it feels very remote and quiet, with tons of cute deer to watch in the evenings, a nice dock for watching the sunset, and a very cozy living space. The ferry rides were also a fun little experience. I was surprised at how many supplies they had stocked the kitchen with, enough for us to try complicated recipes. The latte machine (with milk frother) and complimentary coffee was also a huge bonus! Isabelle was always quick to reply and very helpful when we had any questions, before and during our stay. Definitely hoping to come back soon. Would highly recommend for a secluded and peaceful stay.

this was the perfect cottage. didn't matter where you were you always had a view of the lake. beautiful dock for boats and a beautiful dock for relaxing on or to swim from. it was so relaxing and peaceful. watching the hummingbirds at the feeder was such a beautiful touch. sitting in the beautiful Adirondack chairs having my morning tea was fantastic. we even got a visit from an otter who just did his thing on the deck while we watched him from the big livingroom window. I would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for relaxation and peace. the pictures don't do it justice. the host is great. the instructions we got ahead of time were great to have as we knew what we needed to bring. the place was absolutely clean. everything we needed was there. it really felt like it was my own place. the furniture and beds were all comfy. thank you thank you thank you dreamnest for sharing your place with others to experience tranquility. the name definitely suits it.

What an experience. Everybody should try this at least once! Renting your own private island made us feel like we were in a very private in exclusive place yet extremely close to things such as the boat ramp, restaurants, and other sights. You do need a boat of some sort, but that’s all part of the fun and experience! The house was well equipped uncomfortable. Swimming around the island was epic. It was a short 15 minute ride to get to sites such as bolt castle. There was also a great little restaurant in Rockport.

Absolutely spectacular. Hidden gem! If you are looking for something private but still within a 15-20minute drive to groceries this is the place to stay! You won’t be disappointed. Comfortably holds a family of 6! We had an absolute blast! Stunning property and open concept cottage. Lots of natural light and gorgeous view from the living room! The dock and wrap around deck were absolutely beautiful to enjoy for sunrise and sunset! 2 hour drive to Ottawa and 2 hours to Gatineau National Park! Highly recommend the drive into Gatineau park! And Pink Salmon trail! If you have fur babies, this park is very restricted due to the sensitive eco system! Really cute shops and restaurants in downtown Ottawa and in Gatineau Park! We absolutely will be coming back (: Thank you Rachael for being an incredible host! Very responsive to requests and very accommodating !

This is a lovely house in a beautiful location! Lots of things to do outside and fully equipped kitchen and large bedrooms inside. The only issue (and it's clearly stated in the description) but not having a washing machine was definitely a drawback. We enjoyed our time and could have stayed longer!

Here's a condensed version under 1000 characters: "We've rented many cottages, and this one is by far the cleanest. The waterfront is beautiful, with a well-kept fire pit and a peaceful lake that felt private during the week. The cottage was thoughtfully stocked with everything from soap and coffee to all the necessary appliances. The internet was fast, and the heat pump kept us warm on cooler nights. We kayaked and canoed around the lake several times, enjoying the wildlife—turtles, herons, ducks, loons, and frogs. The fire pit was perfectly placed for sunset views, with plenty of kindling and wood. The BBQ worked great, and Verona offered everything we needed, including good food at Muddy Waters Restaurant and treats at a local bakery and Kawartha ice cream shop. The fall colors were stunning throughout our stay. Highly recommend this cottage for a peaceful, well-equipped getaway!"

We had an amazing stay at Jas’ place! The place was exactly as described - clean, comfortable, and in a great location. Jas was incredibly responsive (even went out of his way to send us local events happening the weekend we were staying) and made check-in super easy. We really appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the space. The stairs were a lot but a great workout lol! We didn’t have the best luck with weather that weekend but Jas had so many games that made staying inside fun. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone planning a weekend getaway from the city! Thank you Jas!!

We loved our stay so much! It was the perfect girls weekend away! The views were absolutely breathtaking and Ken went above and beyond to make our stay perfect! He provided plenty of wood for fires and we were able to go kayaking every day of our stay with the rental kayaks! We would definitely come back!

Stayed in early spring. Lots of books, games, movies to entertain. Internet was fast and reliable. Wood stove kept the cottage cozy. To cold to swim etc. Parents with small children be aware the path to the lake is steep with no railing. Overall loved the stay. Planning another in the fall.

Carissa and Owen are great hosts and the cottage is the perfect getaway. Our group had an amazing time!

Karen’s place was a delight - a peaceful and serene waterfront location that was the perfect spot to unwind. Everything was as described and the cottage was stocked with everything we needed, including extra special touches from Karen. Karen was proactive and responsive, making the whole process easy and seamless. Will definitely be back!

Jean was wonderful from start to finish and made our anniversary weekend very special! We loved the views of the water: sitting on the swing , the fire pit enjoying the water, bird watching and more ! She was clear about instructions of places to visits and things to do while there! She also had great recommendations when asked for additional advice! The stay was very peaceful and we enjoyed it! The house was very cozy and had everything we needed ! We loved it and will look forward to visiting again!
