Waterfront

This is a comfortable, welcoming, quiet, 3-season waterfront family cottage. Located on scenic, fisherman-friendly Dog Lake, it is for rent by the week or month during the summer and fall. It is ideal for guests who prize a remote and wilderness ambiance with all the conveniences of home, yet near a wide variety of vacation and entertainment resources.

There is ample room for a MAXIMUM of 8 guests ($50 addl. per person over 6 adults) in a well-equipped cottage with a detached bunky. We regret that we are unable to accommodate any pets, regardless of type, breed, age, behavior, or where they will be sleeping. Smoking is prohibited in any/all of the buildings and on the deck and docks. All rentals are for a minimum of full week increments and begin on Saturday or Sunday at 5pm and end on the following Saturday or Sunday at 11 am. See the calendar for specific availability. Multi-week rentals are welcome.

Situated directly on the lake, the property features access via three steps down from the dock to a small private beach. The lake bottom is sandy and descends gradually so it's ideal for young swimmers! A canoe with life jackets and paddles will permit you to greet the spectacular sunrise (cottage faces east) over the lake or just enjoy the peaceful company of the loons that often float by in front of the cottage in early evening.

Fishing in Dog Lake is very good for bass, pike, slake, and lake trout and local fishing guides are available. You are welcome to bring your boat, launch it conveniently from nearby Battersea public launch, and moor it snugly beside our boathouse. As well as fishing, picnic trips to the nearby historic Rideau canal lock are popular with visitors. A fire pit in front of the cottage is great for s'mores and storytelling. This is a rural area, so you can expect to encounter "wild critters" such as chipmunks, mice, ants, bees, and an occasional skunk or porcupine. This was their home before it was ours, so we treat them with respect (except the ones who may have entered our house uninvited which we have promptly removed!). We have never seen any dangerous animals or poisonous snakes in the area.

Requests for 1 week or longer will be given first priority. One 6-night July 21--27 rate at $1543 is available. Lower late-August, early September rates and 2 weekends then are available. See Rates for details.

Our rates, plus an additional $100 cleaning fee, are very reasonable when compared with similar properties. We love this space and want to make it affordable for families willing to treat our home with respect. We require a cleaning fee of $100 and expect the property to be left broom-clean, garbage and recycling removed, and food removed from fridge and freezer. Performing those tasks takes less than an hour to perform. Thank you for your understanding and respect for the property.

Bob and Sue's cottage is a great place to spend a summer vacation. The lake is beautiful and not busy(tranquil). The details provided are exactly as stated. There is plenty of room for 8 and maybe even more. It is an older cottage with all the modern amenities. The beds are very comfortable. The deck is perfect in that it provides shade most of the day and it looks out onto the lake. We would recommend it. It is also close to Kingston for day trips. Hiking at Rock Dunder, dinning at The Opinion, handmade chocolate in Seely's Bay among others. You can also boat into the Rideau Canal 5 minutes away.

We had an awesome time at this cottage. The owner does a great job showing pictures of the cottage's and gives a great description of them. Everything is as owner states. We stayed at this cottage for a week and we had an awesome time. Some feedback from us ;

- It easily sleeps eight people.
- The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to make a full blown roast dinner and more.
-The rooms are tastefully decorated and the cottage is very spacious and clean.We appreciated the cottage having a nice tv , wifi, landline ,kids play area and indoor board games,canoes, kyaks , etc. Exploring Dog lake by canoe was an awesome experience. You really get to enjoy nature at this cottage as a deer or two will welcome you upon your drive to the cottage.
If you do not want to go any where you can just sit on the big deck with your family and just enjoy looking at the beautiful lake views and hearing the call of the loons. We had a great time roasting marshmallows and watching fireflies light up the area.
Thanks, so much for allowing us to enjoy the cottage life by renting out your awesome cottage to us !!!

Kind Regards ,
Deborah - Florida
