Find Places to Stay in Ladysmith on Airbnb

What a gorgeous place to stay! The cabin is cozy and clean, with all necessary amenities. And Alex is helpful and knowledgeable about where to find amazing views and hiking trails. Loved being able to relax away from daily life and responsibilities in such a stunning area. I'll definitely be staying again!

Great cabin with property to yourself. Lots of landmarks on a map to visit and a couple good look outs.

If you are truly looking to escape and get away from the typical day to day life, this is the right place! A beautiful off-grid cabin in an amazingly natural setting. I will definitely book a longer stay next time.

Alex's cabin is located on a spectacular property. The cabin was clean, well organized and cozy. There are plenty of wildlife on the property, it's perfect if that's what you're looking for. He is a wonderful host, directions & local tips were spot on. I definitely recommend!!! Hope to be back soon.

My stay at Alex's little shack was amazing. He gave us a mini tour of the place with instructions to go to amazing trails and great views. We spent a lot of time in the woods. It's a very calm and relaxing spot. It's super cozy and I would 100% recommend this place for a calm getaway. Make sure to bring warm pyjamas, because it can get a bit cold at night. A part from that, it was perfect! We really felt at home. Thank you Alex :)

This place was a treat! Stunning little home, that has everything you will need! It was very clean, very private and the host was amazing! Perfect location for hiking with dogs, they absolutely loved it there! Would highly recommended it!

This cottage is very charming and comfortable. As soon as we arrived we were taken back by the beauty and privacy. The inside of the cottage had everything we needed- the beds were comfortable and the place was well kept and clean. I would definitely recommend this cabin to families, friends or a couple looking for some alone time. The hosts were really easy to communicate with, and were quick to respond. Quiet and serene, its a great place to relax and get away from it all!

I looked for a short stay getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life and found it at The Loon Call. This brought memories of my boy scout days with the perfect amount of 'roughing' it and comfort. Once the fireplace makes the cabin toasty warm choose your comfy seat, put your feet up, sip some spiked egg nog and let your troubles melt away. I only stayed a short time but felt like it was a week as it was so quiet and relaxing. I've stayed in numerous cabins and cottages over the years and this is by far my favourite. No brainer...I'm coming back!

Breath taking place, we had a great stay! Perfect for a family to get away from the busy stressful city and relax in this beautiful land.

If you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city this is the place

The Loon Call far exceeded our expectations, and served as a perfect long weekend retreat for my group of friends. No wifi, no electronics, yet with the comforts of running and hot water, shower, flushable toilet, and a general store 5 minutes away by car. These combined with the homely cottage itself, situated in serene surroundings, provided the environment to detach from technology and connect with the people around you. Blaise and Emma were more than gracious hosts, making sure that everything was smooth for the duration of our stay. Extra thoughtful touches and surprises were in wait for us on arrival. If it isn’t obvious at this point we had an excellent time, and would do it again, if the opportunity arises.

The Loon Call is an amazing cottage on a stunning, quiet lake. Cottage life respects the environment, which makes for beautiful wildlife around and enhances your (re)connection with nature. Emma & Blaise are wonderful, responsive and accommodating hosts and they make absolutely sure you get the best experience. We enjoyed every minute of our stay in their wonderful vacation home.

A beautiful, peaceful setting. Amazing fall colours and a cozy fireplace. A wonderful place for a relaxing getaway.

Great hosts, clear and quick communication and beautiful place

The cottage itself is spacious, clean, and everything you need. Rob was very friendly and helpful and got back to us quickly if we ever had any questions. Definitely worth coming back to any time. It’s private enough if you’re looking to disconnect from neighbours but also close enough to interact with the community. Recommend to anyone looking to stay at a cottage for a weekend

Our husband and I enjoyed our stay at Rob’s beautiful lakefront cottage. The cottage was spacious,clean and the panoramic views of the lake and sunsets where amazing. Definitely would go back. Mary

Thank you Rob and Jen for the wonderful experience.  It couldn't have been better! The property was bigger than expected and private.  The cottage was so clean, tidy, and comfortable. The lake was clean, warm and refreshing. Rob and Jen were wonderful hosts as they were very welcoming, easily accessible and accommodating. We loved every moment of our stay and look forward to visiting again!

The yurt is the perfect weekend getaway, even in early Spring! The trails around the property are great for an afternoon walk and the yurt has all the basics you need.

What an incredible 24 hours to recharge, uplug and connect to silence and nature. Such a special place ... Loved the uniqueness and warmth of yurt, the stars, the land, the howling wolfs at night. Magical indeed! Steve is a beautiful, genuine host and is so proud of his property. We were greeted by big smiles and all the info we needed. So grateful for his kindness from our first communication. Hard to leave and can't wait to return. Loved the look of the new cabin too! Amazing. Thank you!

My fiancee and I were looking for a quiet, off the grid, relaxing weekend in nature. This space was exactly what we were looking for. The Yurt itself was really cute and quaint. It had the the essential basics. Steve provided all of the necessities we required and was always available if needed. The area had beautiful snow-shoeing trails that we spent all weekend. Also, our dog loved the space as it was remote and it allowed him to run free and explore along with us. In the Yurt it was extremely peaceful to sit by the wood stove and read our books in the hammock. Overall, a wonderful place to stay and we would definitely return!

We enjoyed our time in the yurt enormously. Steve had a cozy fire going when we arrived. After the drive from the city, we appreciated the short walk from where we parked the car. The yurt is well equipped with pots and dishes; outside is the bbq (although we cooked our food on the stove), and a cooler as well. We were very comfy on the sofa bed, with lots of pillows. The solar lights are delightful. We were warm, and relaxed completely. We also appreciated the trails as did our dogs and we did some exploring. Loads of deer around and we heard wolves, saw a peregrine falcon and woodpeckers. Can’t wait to go back in another season.

Steve's yurt is stunning; the carpentry is masterful and the space is beautifully set up. Steve made sure that we had everything we needed and went out of his way to ensure that we were comfortable. The forest surrounding the yurt is enchantingly beautiful and we walked on the trails in the back to a stunning lookout. Such a special addition to a winter camping experience! We had an absolute blast and look forward to being able to stay again. Don't miss this place if you want a fun adventure!

Absolutely wonderful place. We love everything about this property, from the hiking/ski trails, to the nearby towns , to the night sky. Our dog looks forward to this newly minted holiday tradition of having winter fun at Le Terrain. We've stayed at the yurt and the cabin, and recommend both highly.

This is a wonderful place with an extraordinary host. My partner, pup and I absolutely loved our time here and are already excited to stay again. Steve, is a fantastic host who really takes his time to make you feel welcomed. The Yurt its self is beautiful and homey, and honestly very warm haha. We loved the watching the stars at night and listening to the wolves howl at the moon, it was a very immersive experience and a great way to disconnect and relax. Thank you again Steve, and see you soon!

Steve’s place was great. True authentic off the grid nature experience! Yurt was comfortable and charming. The property was amazing , private and filled with trails to explore. Great lookouts for seeing the fall colors & star gazing at night. Steve was a great host , easy communication and passionate about the property / upkeep & guests experience! We will be returning for sure.

Wonderful place! We had a wonderful New Year's week with family.

My family loved this beautiful cottage that offered a very serene location where we could view the beavers and all kinds of wildlife. The open concept of the cottage was great as we were able to be together at all times. The ping pong table and foosball in the basement was a definite success with the kids. The windows all around the cottage made for a beautiful scenery. We do plan to return during the summer.

gorgeous - idyllic - magical. this spot is a hidden gem in the Quebec woods. the pictures are nice but don’t do the place justice as much as the live experience does. large open space with smart layout and stylish decor, make it very comfortable for 6 people. patio view of the lake is stupendous all day but especially in the morning. house is secluded and quiet and has a private dock which makes this cottage a real find if you need to get away from it all. Seema was a joy to communicate with. very chill. we’re coming back!

Had an amazing time at the cottage. Lots of things on hand to use, everything we needed for our stay. Had enough kayaks for everyone to enjoy. The lake view was beautiful and great for swimming and fishing. Great indoor and outdoor living spaces.

We had a great family vacation. The cottage was very well equiped, from kayaks and a paddleboard, to the trampoline and kids toys, to a large selection of dvds and boards games.

Wow! The photos didn’t do it justice. A beautiful little cottage, well laid out with comfy beds and lovely pillows and linens. Plenty of space for teenagers and kids to not get on each other’s nerves!! The hosts were welcoming and easy to communicate with. They gave excellent details and arriving at the cottage was stress free. The lake is beautiful and this cottage definitely has the best swimming dock. The lake is small but has access to a larger lake for a bit of an adventure, kayaks are provided for everyone in the family. We had rainy weather on and off and enjoyed the fantastic array of indoor games and activities. Great reading materials for all ages and movies to curl up to. I have not one negative thing to say, a superior experience!

Large and warm chalet in an enchanting place. Thank you to our excellent hosts Benoit and Denis. Highly recommended!

This is our second time staying here and it was exactly what we were looking for. The place is very clean and comfortable with all the amenities. Looking forward to staying again.

Perfect cottage, amazing view and so peaceful. Comfort, we were comfortable in this large living room so well heated. Fully equipped kitchen, large beds and very comfortable, very good communication with Benoit and excellent reception of Denis. We highly recommend!

We had a great stay at Benoit's place. It was the perfect location for the relaxing weekend we were looking for. The home is beautiful, very clean and the kitchen is fully stocked. Communicating with Benoit and Denis ( co-host) was seamless. We will definitely try to stay here again when we need to relax next to a lakeside fire!

Excellent location. Generous house, beautiful decorations, providing everything that one may need. Very good communication and warm hospitality from the host. Kids and adults loved their full week in the location without getting bored for a moment. Highly recommended!

We love our stay at Benoit’s place. It’s very well equipped and the location is fantastic. I definitely recommend it!

Wonderful cottage, so beautiful and peaceful! Children from 2 to 7 years old also loved it.

Everything was fine.

The cabin has all the amenities to make your stay a fun and relaxing one! They have a great collection of board games, DVDs and books. Our stay was extremely comfortable and Margaret and Karen were very hospitable :)

It is an Awesome place to stay. We were here in feb and the kozy kabin are really very cozy. Would surely recommend and visit again.

This was my third time staying here. I will keep coming back because it is a really great place to stay. So clean and comfortable. Easy access even in the winter. We will be back in the fall!

Lovely spot. Was there for an event nearby so did not spend much time there. However, it was very clean, and the hosts were very helpful. Thanks again!

Very nice stay! Pictures don’t do it justice. Bigger than we thought, very nice patio area. Very clean. Good hosts as well. We were running low on firewood after the first night and after messaging them, they brought more wood within the hour. Peaceful area, nice lake.

Second time coming. Love the location

Amazing cottage with great amenities! We had a blast and would definitely come back again. The water in the cottage is a bit smelly due to iron in it but the board games, paddle boats, canoe and many other amenities more than compensate for the smell. Also, the hosts provide bottled water.

We had a group of 8 kayakers that came to the whitewater region to play on the big Ottawa rapids. We loved coming back to the cabin after playing on the river or hiking. It was such a nice space to hang out together and talk about the highlights from our day. We divided up the three bedrooms and still had plenty of space for three air mattresses in the living room. The grill and kitchen made it so fun and easy to have big dinners and cook breakfast together nearly every day of our stay.

Amazing place, a wonderful countryside stay.

Darlene and Kevan were great hosts for our winter getaway. Throughly enjoyed this cozy cottage and the surround area.

Darlene is an amazing host. Upon arrival, you get the tour and everything you need to know about the place, which I personally really enjoy. The space has everything you need for a great new year get away. With the hot tub being an awesome cherry on top. 10/10 would recommend!

Great place. Hot tub is a really nice bonus. Very clean place! Would go back there again.

Halverson house is a wonderful place to stay. The fireplace and jacuzzi were very cozy in the winter, we also did some sledding. There was a nearby ice skating ribbon as well. The house has everything we could need and more, including a very well stocked kitchen, towels and robes for the spa, plenty of firewood, and some very delicious cinnamon buns. There were also boarg games, books, and movies for more of a quiet night in. The bed was very comfortable, and the house clean and beautiful. Darlene and Kevan were very accommodating, even when we were delayed by snow. We're already planning our next trip back!

Private and charming.

Absolutely amazing place. Darlene is a wonderful host and really takes good care of her place and cares about her guests. Very accommodating. We went in late November, our 2 favourite things were the hot tub and the fire pit. We will definitely book again.

Such a cozy place for a weekend away. Darlene has done a great job of providing everything you might need for your stay plus nice little touches you may not expect but that are so nice to have. The personal check-in was friendly and thorough, and there are clear instructions in the cottage for anything you may need to know. The fireplace and outdoor hot tub are great. : ) Would highly recommend a stay here.

Steve is a great host, he made sure everything was ready for us. The place is very cozy and the view is amazing like we expected. I would totally recommend this place for a nice getaway.

Steve’s place is wonderful, and the cabin is lovely in the winter time. Not only is Steve incredibly communicative, he’s also gone above and beyond to make sure our stay was smooth and safe. Our cabin was toasty before our arrival even though there’s a snow storm outside. It’s the perfect place to unplug, unwind, and be in nature completely off grid. I hope to return one day during the summer seasons to explore some more!

Great place for hiking, beautiful night sky, you could hear wolves howling at night, and Steve is a great and gracious host. Thanks for a wonderful winter getaway!

Nice place to stay on fall season..try to come with wragler or any modified 4x4 vehicle..lot fun to drive on trails

This place is amazing if you are looking for a wilderness experience. Steve goes above and beyond to help you make your stay comfortable. He has excellent knowledge of surroundings and helped us to make our trip a memorable one. Look forward to see u soon Steve.. :))

This place is UNREAL. After a drive through the most dragonflies and butterflies I think I’ll ever see in my lifetime, my mom and I were promptly greeted by Steve when we arrived, and he most graciously offered to drive our bags up to the cabin so we wouldn’t have to lug anything (my mom is an over-packer of food so we did not pack very light as recommended in the listing-sorry Steve!). After a bit of a hike, we were met with the most spectacular view. It was breathtaking. We diligently watched the forest wall along the valley hoping to catch a glimpse of an animal walk through but were instead gifted with some eagle sightings and the surreal sounds of a wolf pup (or perhaps a coy-wolf) howling! We also heard a moose! We were surprised at the lack of bird sounds with so many trees surrounding us but it allowed us to experience a deafening silence like never before. What a feeling. Once the sun set the crickets came out and so did the stars. WOW. You feel like you don’t have enough eyes to really capture how many you can see (if that makes sense). We enjoyed our evening by the fire pit and it was just so lovely. The morning of checkout Steve and his handsome dog, Inook, so very kindly took us on about an hour’s hike where he showed us some pretty amazing and special things. You feel like you’re part of something so much bigger and we’re so lucky that we were given the opportunity to enjoy it. Thanks a million, Steve! Best of luck with your future projects and what your journey brings you. We were already discussing our return trip on the drive back to Montreal :) Gen & Wendy P.S. Tell Inook we’ll be back with more bacon.

Steve’s place was exactly as advertised and his hospitality made it all the more welcoming! I’ll be sure to have his place in mind the next time we decide to stay at a cottage!

There are very few places left in this world where you can be absolutely alone in the wilderness with wildlife and no people. This place is it!! Absolutely awesome! And Steve was great and really fun to talk to and hang with for a bit. We will be returning many times!

Great place for a family or couple. Beautiful spit and really nice place.

Absolutely stellar hospitality by Haydar, all of our needs were met. Excellent communication and genuinely kind; would definitely recommend!

A beautiful place with a amazing view on the lake. The host answer quick my question and he was really sympathetic.

Beautiful location! Great week spent here with friends, we very much enjoyed being on the water and having the kayak and canoe to use.

Haydar was a thoughtful host. The place was perfect for a summer vacation. The water was warm and wonderful for swimming. Lots of space for parking. A great find.

Had a great time.

Lovely spot on a quiet pond!! We had a great stay.!

This place was a wonder fall get away. I am sure it is just as wonderful in the summer. Great views, wonderful lake and a cozy cottage.

Really loved this little cottage. Exactly what we were looking for. We will be back! Thanks Haydar!

Very nice cabins in a great spot next to the pond. We love it there! The house is beautiful inside and out. It’s super clean, very comfortable and just a lovely place to stay.

Lovely spot very close to Campbell's Bay. Beautiful marshy lake with a nice large dock for lying out in the sun. The cabin was very comfortable with everything we needed to enjoy the weekend. Margaret and Karen were very gracious hosts. Would highly recommend if you're visiting this unique area.

This cabin made for the perfect summer vacation for my boyfriend, the puppy and I. The hosts were very quick to reply whenever I had questions and it was so lovely to meet them in person. The location was perfect for lounging around, relaxation, swimming and not doing much which is exactly what we were looking for. But had we decided to do something the location offered so many activities within a short drive. The cabin was sparkling clean with comfortable beds and everything we needed for the week.

We love, love, love this cottage and location! It’s about a 1.5-2 hr drive from Ottawa, but so worth it to escape! The cottage is lovely and comfortable and the covered patio and the gorgeous lake make for an amazing stay! The host provides 2 paddle boats and a canoe and a great fire-pit which we certainly took advantage of. The cottage was extremely clean and has all the basic amenities for your stay.

We had such an amazing time at the Kozy Kabin! It was everything we could have hoped for. Extremely clean with all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. The area was very quiet and peaceful with a beautiful view of the lake. The pellet stove was a cozy touch that we enjoyed warming up in front of after coming in from the skating rink we made on the lake. We took a drive to Mansfield to check out the area and stumbled upon the festival of lights at Parc Des Chutes Coulonge. Lit up with lights or not the waterfall was gorgeous so if you're in the area, check it out! The hosts were extremely nice and welcoming and overall we had such an amazing peaceful retreat! You will love it!

Great spot to relax and soak up the sun on a quiet lake. Very clean cottage and had all the necessary essentials in the kitchen and bathroom! Very friendly hosts as well!

The cottage was perfect! Clean and well equipped. The lake was warm and pleasant to swim. The hosts were quick in responses and available if needed while we were there. No direct access to the lake, but we managed it from the paddle boats and canoe. Overall great stay, would definitely go back. really nice place.

A beautiful cabin on a perfect lake. Water was perfect temperature for swimming. Very much enjoyed the paddle boats and canoe. Overall excellent time, would definitely come back.

Warm welcome, delicate attentions, efficient communication, excellent cleanliness, magnificent scenery, beautiful place. Definitely a good choice!

We really enjoyed our stay here!

We had a perfect wintery weekend - the hot tub over looking the lake and the wood burning oven were the final cherry on top touches! Thanks Elaine for a great weekend and a fantastic cabin(s) experience!

Absolutely gorgeous location about 90 minutes from Ottawa. Lots of space and very well stocked including a waffle maker! The place was warm and cozy with a stove fireplace and heaters for the winter. Elaine was very quick to respond and update us when we lost power due to a small snow storm. And was very accommodating with check out considering the conditions. Can't wait to visit again in the summer!

Beautiful place!

I HIGHLY recommend this rental!!! Elaine was quick and concise with her responses, and directions/descriptions were spot on. Beautiful property, with three separate living/sleeping areas, which is convenient for those with young children, as they can have a quiet area away. Property and cottage were both spotless, with everything one would need to prepare meals, listen to music, watch TV/movies, and enjoy the many amenities. The hot tub on a chilly, snowy winter day was a highlight, for sure. Plenty of sleeping space, as well as common area. We are hoping to go back in the summer to enjoy the beautiful lake!

One of the nicest cottages I have ever been to. Amazing vibe and feels very natural. Everything was provided for a great time. We will be coming back in the summer 100%.

This beautiful cottage was absolutely stunning in every way! We were extremely grateful so have had such an incredible host who went out of way to provide exact directions for us, lots of blankets, heaters, you name it, they had it! The hot tub over the water was breath taking! We loved our stay and we will for sure be coming back!

Great place for snowshoeing and enjoying nature. Large and comfortable for several people. Quality hosts.

Great place great location lots of trails will be back for sure..

This is an absolutely charming and historical place. There are so many fun little antique/collector items that are great conversational pieces. As others have mentioned the building is huge and has a lot of flexible sleeping options for big groups. Outside it was also super private with acres of trails to hike and places to play games/sports. Jennifer was quick to communicate and very gracious with the check in time. Her father Jerry delivered us a massive stack of wood for the outdoor fire pit. We had a fantastic time - thanks!

We had a great time at the old depot! It was sparkling clean and much bigger than we thought! Lots of neat historic things to look at throughout the house. Jennifer was great to work with!

The house was larger than expected! Great beach just across the road

The Old Depot is an amazing place. It’s large, with lots of living space. We were a group of 10 people and never felt crowded. With 2 bathrooms, there was never a lineup to use the toilets or showers. The kitchen was well equipped, and with 3 fridges on site, there was ample room for all the food and drinks. We will definitely be returning.

Amazing to stay in a place with such history. Super clean and well kept facilities. Perfect for our group of 12 and close enough to the Ottawa river for our rafting trip.

Great place to just hang with good friends or family.

Very quiet farmland setting. Manuel is a great host and makes certain you are expected and welcomed. Really enjoyed my all-too-short one-night stay.

Great location, facing the lake and just 5mns from the skating place! Ashley is a fantastic host and we definitely hope to come back in the Summer to enjoy the water and sunsets on the lake.

This is our second time renting Natasha’s cottage and once again, we were not disappointed. If you are looking for a relaxing getaway, this is the place to go. We will definitely rent the cottage again next year :)

The cottage was clean and well equipped with all the necessary items for our 3 night stay. Natasha responded really quick and provided us all relevant information we needed to make our stay memorable. The lake was serene, but if you are looking forward for fishing then you would be disappointed. Overall a great visit!!

The cottage was amazing. It fit our family of three kids (2.5-12 years old) and three adults perfectly. Beds were super comfy - as were the comforters which were provided. Kitchen amenities were great and Having fans for the hot nights was awesome. Swimming, canoeing and being able to play with the old surfboard was awesome. Nights by the fires kept our family occupied. Hope to come back again!

Beautiful cottage.

The cottage was clean and very comfortable to live in during our stay of 4 nights. Natasha was awesome to deal with and provided us all the details we needed in timely manner. The lake was beautiful and fun to explore on a canoe provided at the cottage. Overall a great visit!!

Natasha is a fabulous host. The cottage is lovely, the lake was beautiful and you could find everything you needed. I would highly recommend this to anyone who was looking for a quiet get away!

Really nice and relaxing. Had a few great canoe rides down the lazy river. Nice and shady.

Lovely place, can walk straight out to the lake; with a canoe and wakeboard available for use. Bbq right on deck with everything you need. The place was comfortable and peaceful

Our stay at Matthieu's place was awesome. The kitchen is fully stocked, foodies will love it and perfect for a large group preparing different meals, we never got in each other's way. The shower was so nice! I totally recommend this place, I really want to return, maybe even every season. What an incredible host, I felt so welcome and I feel as though he thought of everything! So happy I stayed here.

Very nice location. In our arrival, Matthieu greet us with a bottle of win and provide us a short tour in the cottage. After minutes we felt we are at our home. Complete kitchen ware and equipment in the cottage let us to feel relax and being at our home. As he is doing some renovation at the place, I am sure the place would be much more better in near future and I hope we can stay at this beautiful cottage soon.

An amazing booking and vacation experience! Matthieu replies very quickly and is very personable and helpful! Honestly the most accommodating and gracious host...feels more like renting through a friend then a business arrangement. The cottage is recently renovated and the layout is very well thought out and efficient while maintaining an authentic cottage feel! Extremely comfortable beds with fresh linen, fabulous well stocked kitchen super clean cottage, beautiful quiet lake and a personalized tour from Mathieu on arrival! Overall a wonderful vacation which surpassed all expectations!!

Just an amazing cottage that was absolute perfection for two families looking to spend some quality time together. We were looking for a cottage to share with my brother’s family that also permitted dogs and we were so lucky to have happened on Matthieu’s newly renovated cottage. There are still some finishing touches to be done, but nothing that interferes with the functionality of the place. The kitchen is AMAZING and has absolutely ruined us for our own kitchens at home. You just need to peek around until you get used to where everything is and remember there are drawers within drawers. The 1.5 bathrooms were perfect and even with 9 of us showering, there was always hot water. The vastness of the living spaces both inside and out accommodated our group and dog effortlessly. Matthieu greeted us with an aperitif to enjoy while he showed us around which was just the perfect way to start our vacation. There were kayaks, a canoe, life jackets, chairs, fishing rods, games, movies, lego, tables that seated all of us, rooms that accommodated all of us....it was a perfect place for our family time. It was very clean, though slightly damp on the lower bedroom level for the first day until the dehumidifier took the dampness out of the air, after which point it was absolutely fine. No one had used the cottage in the days before we arrived else I am sure this would not have been an issue. The water is not really a ‘walk in’ type of experience, though you could, but it gets deep very quickly and water shoes would be recommended if you were walking in. Jumping in off the end of the dock is best, but note, there is no ladder and so if you are unable to pull yourself back up onto the dock, you would need to get into the shallows, hence the water shoes recommendation. The water and view was beautiful and fishing right off the dock was great as well. We would definitely recommend Matthieu’s cottage and his hospitality. Thank you!

Great location directly on the lake. It was right beside another cottage owned by our family so it was amazingly convenient to be able to handle the overflow from the long weekend in such close proximity! Great little cottage with lots of accomodations space and room to relax. We will definitely consider using again if we get another big group to come out and play pond hockey in the winter! Thanks so much for opening the place for us and getting it all ready in February!

We really enjoyed our time at the cottage. The cottage sits on a big, private lot. Plenty of space to walk and explore and play with kids and pets. Kathryn is super friendly and helpful. Easy drive from Ottawa to the perfect little escape.

Great stay

We had a great time at Kathryn's cottage. The place is very quiet and has a magnificent view! We loved canoeing with our dog around the beautiful Leslie Lake!

Perfect cozy place by the lake!!

Beautiful spot on the lake on a big private property. We loved that there was a fenced area where our dog could be off leash. Also enjoyed kayaking and swimming. Simple but functional cottage with an amazing view.

This place is fantastic. The patio has a nice table and a breathtaking view on the lake. There is a nice fenced area to use if you bring along your dog. We enjoyed using the Canoe and Kayak on the lake. The hot tub and firepit were wonderful for the evenings. We enjoyed some star gazing on the top patio. The kitchen is large; perfect for entertaining and well-equipped. It also has a view of the lake to be enjoyed while preparing food. The BBQ works well. The main floor bedroom is small but perfect for a couple. We didn’t use the second floor much as we were only two. The stairs to the second floor are quite steep so I wouldn’t recommend the higher lever for older people. However it would be perfect for children to enjoy. The basement is nice and cool. There are sofas and a television where we enjoyed some movies. Overall this place is paradise on earth. We relaxed, enjoyed nature and couldn’t get over the view. Hope to be back soon!

Nice quiet place.

Manuel is a great host with an incredibly beautiful plot! When we arrived, homemade scones, tea and coffee were ready for us. We explored the property at sunset, it has goats, cows, horses etc and there is a very nice lake nearby. The next morning we had a hearty breakfast and my friend loved the fresh meat from Manuels Farm! We would definitely recommend the place :)

Being on the farm brought back great memories of previous experiences out in the country. It's a great setting to get away from cities and appreciating the surroundings. Everything was as expected and communication was simple and straightforward. Manuel was a great host and good to chat with too!

I cannot say enough good things about our visit to Manuel's. He was an outstanding host, providing fantastic home-cooked meals (dinner at an extra cost and included breakfast), giving tips on how best to explore his beautiful property (we spent hours walking through fields, feeding the horses and sitting by the lake), and putting together a few special touches to make sure we had the best experience possible. I recommend a visit to the Ranch for anyone wanting a peaceful, relaxing weekend exploring the outdoors.

Manuel is a super friendly host and has a really beautiful farm. Such a quiet and relaxing area, the bed was super comfortable, and there's a great view from the room...the perfect spot if you're looking for some relaxation. There are also fun places to explore for swimming and hiking in the surrounding area. Kitchen was well-stocked with cooking supplies and everything was very clean. Highly recommended overall!

Manuel's place is clean and quiet. The bed is super comfy! Thanks so much. A note for visitors in the area....... cell phone service is spotty. Bring a hard copy map if you are not familiar with the roads.

Manuel's place is a real get away. Lost among fields and farms, tranquil and scenic spot. Horses, super comfortable bed, fresh air, attentive friendly host. Very pleasant stay on a budget.

Manuel has a huge peaceful farm, well off the beaten track but well worth staying at. He was very welcoming and accommodating, and the breakfast was hearty and delicious. Farmhouse was very clean, we enjoyed a long walk at dawn and met the 2 horses (cattle were too far away to see), and learned a lot about raising livestock.

Awesome cottage with lots of space, no neighbors, a little piece of paradise if you enjoy the outdoors!

Super well equipped chalet. The location is ideal for disconnecting and having a good time. Very relaxing.

Third time returning. Very nice cottage in a beautiful area and a great host.

There was so much fire wood provided for the fire pit! The cottage is a nice size for 6 people with 3 bedrooms. The view is absolutely beautiful. Theres a barbeque and a boat on the lake. The dock is exactly like the picture. It was a really beautiful cottage we would definitely go back in a heart beat! And so much privacy. It was exactly what we were looking for!

Great remote location with lots of space for dogs and kids to run around. The water is warm and great for swimming but water shoes may be appreciated by some. Cell signal was very limited which was great for disconnecting. Will certainly look to return.

Spent two night at Dominique's cottage with my family, from 14-16 Aug. We loved the privacy, cleanliness, and that it lived up to all the rave rewiews. The lake was quiet shallow, so the water was warm and inviting. Spent a lot of time in front of the camp fire, which was stocked with a substantial amount of fire wood. Overall, we were all very impressed and hope to come back again in the future.

Very nice little cottage. Clean and quiet, has all the basic amenities you need. The outside space and dock is very nice, lots of room for the dogs to run around without having to worry about them. The water is shallow near the dock but does get deeper if you really want to swim. I do suggest bringing water shoes there are rocks and sticks at the bottom of the lake as you walk out. We really enjoyed our week at Dominiques place and reccomend it if you want a quiet place away.

This was the second time I've rented this cottage and the experience was just as wonderful as the first. Communication with Dominique was easy and smooth and the property is amazing - tonnes of space and situated on a quiet and small lake. The ideal place to relax and unwind in nature.

We had a great time at Sue’s cottage. It was new and well designed. The lake was great. There’s no A/C and we were there during a heat wave, so if did get hot while sleeping.

Sue is a great host! The cottage is spotless with plenty amenities. Sue really thought of everything one might need staying at the cottage. The location is to die for. The lake view is spectacular. And I'm extremely impressed and thankful for her quick communications. We had an expected power outage due to a downed tree by the storm. Sue contacted the hydro company and updated me as soon as she could. We actually got the power back on the same night! We'll definitely stay at Sue's again if we are visiting that countryside.

Wonderful space we had lots of fun

Wonderful place and great host!

This cottage is fabulous, very well stocked, comfortable beds, amazing lake view, for us star gazers, shooting stars galore, clean waterfront, very private...the list goes on and on. We are already planning a second visit. There were 6 of us and we each had tons of space! Thanks Sue!!

Great "house on a lake"! Very clean, very new and well equipped with high quality furnishings. It was just the two of us, so it was also very peaceful and quiet (which was our goal), but it could easily handle 6 adults or 2 families as a venue for a great time at a cottage as a group. There games and a bluray player with some kids' DVDs and lots of great "dad rock" CDs to play via the TV. Has a dishwasher and a kitchen set up for an experienced cook. Nice indoor dining table for 6+ and another equally large outdoor dining table. New washer/dryer. Very comfy beds. Sue was very responsive throughout. We are definitely planning on coming back next summer!

We were a family of 6 adults and a one and a half year old baby who stayed at this wonderful place. Sue is an excellent host; she was able to answer our questions quickly to prepare us for our stay. The place is spacious and offers a beautiful view of this lake very quiet. We enjoyed eating outside and spent our days on the big dock. We highly recommend this place. Once again, thank you Sue!

This was our second stay and already thinking about next year! Sue is an amazing host and was flexible with an early check in! If your looking for a break from busy city life this is the place to stay. Everything about this cottage feels more like a home.
