RELAX AND ENJOY A REAL BREAK FROM THE CITY AT THIS BEAUTIFUL COTTAGE ON THE OTTAWA RIVER This peaceful, low-key location will make you feel as if you've been dropped into a Group of Seven painting. It offers great fishing, swimming, and canoeing in the river by day, and watching the stars from the sandy beach or screened-in porch at night. Additional activities within easy driving distance include scenic Fort Coulonge and Coulonge Arial Park, Eganville's fascinating Bonnechere Caves, world-class white-water rafting on the Ottawa River, Pembroke's movie theatres, shopping, and farmers' market, and much more. Local convenience stores in Chapeau, including a butcher and a bakery, are within a 10 minutes' drive. BEAUTIFUL, CLEAN, WELL-APPOINTED COTTAGE The cottage is an attractive cedar A-frame, situated on the bank of the Ottawa River. It has 2 bedrooms on the main floor, and a loft with bedroom on the upper floor, 2 full bathrooms (one with a Jacuzzi bathtub), & open concept kitchen / living room / dining room w/ cathedral ceilings and a dramatic local stone floor-to-ceiling fireplace.

FAQ
The water is fairly shallow a long ways out - perfect for little ones to splash around. For serious swimmers wanting to do laps, the water deepens once you get past the small island off-shore, which you can see in some of the photos. The river bottom is mostly sandy. Much of the Ottawa River in this region has some clams living in it; in our area, there aren't that many, but the quantity depends on the year. We prefer to wear water shoes just in case we step on the odd one.
If you have a motorboat you'd like to bring, there are a couple of boat launch locations nearby for which we can give you a map. Usually people anchor their boat at the depth they prefer, off shore. We do not have a dock.
The cottage does not have air conditioning. We manage the summer heat by keeping the windows and blinds/curtains closed during the hot parts of the day, and then open everything up when it cools down in the evening and at night. We have ceiling fans and floor fans as well.
We normally do our booking for the summer in January or February each year.

Note: The cottage is located on the Ottawa River, directly across from Petawawa, with a clean, sandy beach. The river widens at this point so that it's actually called a "lake" - Lac des Allumettes. Lots of islands abound within easy canoeing distance, making for a beautiful, scenic view. AVAILABILITYLast update: March 24, 2022 |
