Bringing Your Pup? We Get It.

We know pets are family and between the cost of boarding and the guilt of leaving them behind, it?s not always ideal. That's why we're happy to accommodate well-behaved dogs at Blue Heron Hideaway.

Our space is a great fit for furry companions:
Plenty of distance between neighbors
A large yard for off-leash play (under supervision)
Easy, walk-in access to the lake for a swim or paddle

To ensure a comfortable stay for all guests, we ask that pet owners agree to a few simple rules before booking. A pet fee applies to cover additional cleaning.


Guest Access:

Step inside and feel instantly at home in this comfortably designed log cabin. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen space is bright and inviting, centered around a soaring stone fireplace and massive windows that frame the lake. The fully equipped kitchen features full-size appliances, cookware, and everything you need to prepare family feasts or cozy dinners for two.

Guests have full, private access to the entire cabin and all outdoor spaces between the driveway and the lake- including the fire pit, yard, beach area, private dock, deck, and all provided amenities.

Check-in is simple and secure with a unique keyless entry code generated just for your stay.



Please note:
The largest outbuilding (used for owner storage) and basement crawl space are not accessible to guests.
For safety and property protection, the front of the property (facing the driveway) is monitored by 2 exterior security cameras.
There is one camera on the lakeside, which will always be turned off during your stay. No cameras will be monitoring the sides of the cabin, or any interior areas, ensuring full guest privacy.


Interaction With Guests:

I want you to feel at home and as though our place is yours. I will endeavour to have things be intuitive, easy to find, easy to operate and fully stocked. That said, if you need help with anything, or if anything isn't meeting your expectations, absolutely reach out to me.

Aside from that, I may need to stop by the property to mow the lawn, if weather or circumstances prevent me from doing so before you arrive. However, before I do that, I would message you to give you a heads up and make sure the timing works for you. My husband Chris, may also be participating in these types of services. Our goal is to make your stay more comfortable.


Other things to note:

Kennebec Lake is one of Ontario's best-kept secrets- clean, quiet, and uncrowded, with crystal-clear water perfect for swimming, paddling, and peaceful reflection. Nestled in the heart of the Land O' Lakes region, it's just 2.5 hours from Toronto, under 2 hours from Ottawa and just over 1 hour from Kingston, making it feel miles away from it all, without being far from anywhere.

Blue Heron Hideaway offers the best of both worlds: all the modern comforts of a well-appointed home, wrapped in the warmth and charm of a classic log cabin. Whether you're planning day trips to nearby villages and trails or simply looking to unplug and reconnect with nature, this is a place where memories are made.
