Autumn 2023 - 10% savings from Labour Day until October 31.

Here's what you need to know to make your much needed getaway the best it can be. There's been a trend towards building urban homes on lake frontage. Many have bulldozed the landscape and destroyed shorelines for treeless views and lawns to cut regularly. Rideau Dreams hearkens back to a traditional cottaging experience. Nestled in nature in a sun and forested setting with natural trails and views and minimum impact on the lake. Isn't that the real reason you're motivated to escape the city life? Welcome to the restorative wonder of nature.

The Rideau Dreams Cottage is located on the Historic Rideau Waterway approximately 100km (60 miles) south west of Ottawa (Canada's capital city) on the Upper Rideau Lake. The Rideau waterway is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage canal/lake and river system that connects Kingston (@ Lake Ontario) to Ottawa. http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1221

At the Rideau Dreams newly renovated and rustic cottage:

The fishing is world-class. The swimming is excellent. Dive in off the dock or enter at grade from the lower dock and swim out to the raft. Relax in the sun or find shelter in numerous tree shaded spots. Immediately attached to the cottage you enter "the tree house" a shaded screened porch tucked under the oaks that privately views the lake from high above.

The cottage is near the picturesque tourist towns of Westport and Newboro and Portland where you'll find excellent dining, shopping, antiques and great entertainment including the famous Jazz night at The Cove Inn (every Thursday up to Thanksgiving).

My husband and I spent a week at this cottage and had a very relaxing time. We were there between August 10th and August 17th, 2020.
The cottage is nestled among deciduous and evergreen trees on a big property along a private road. During our time there, we had perfect warm weather which allowed us to swim everyday from the dock. The dock is big enough to accommodate chairs and long chairs and gets sun and shade throughout the morning and afternoon. My husband also enjoyed a bit of catch and release right from the dock. As we are cyclists, we discovered a really nice ride along the North Shore Road which runs all the way to Westport (15 kms approx.) with very little traffic and is 10 minutes away from the cottage on the bike.
The cottage itself had all the amenities except maybe for cable TV for those who like to watch. The WI-FI however, allows you to listen to your favorite music or attend a virtual Yoga practice while on the dock. We especially enjoyed the screened-in porch in the morning and at night where we observed a pair of Ospreys in nearby trees. A family of Loons could also be heard throughout the evening.
The quietness of the surroundings of the cottage is perhaps one of the things we enjoyed the most. You can be at peace while vacationing at Rideau Dreams.
Finally, we had a very pleasant experience with the owner who was very responsive immediately from the beginning. He was kind and attentive to our requests.
Thanks again Larry!

Thank you for your kind review Marie and Jeff, and for your care in looking after this special place. It's always such a pleasure to welcome wonderful guests like you. Safe travels and good health in this new normal. Larry

Great cottage in a great location, perfect for our family of four. We loved the dock(s), fire pit, screened in porch; the lake is amazing, close to Westport. Larry was great to deal with, very accommodating and responsive, we look forward to coming back in the future.

Thanks for your wonderful review Ian and Corinne. Such positive energy from you and the kiddos. Lovely to know you loved it and I loved the care you took while here. I look forward to seeing you in the future. Larry

Our host, the owner of Rideau Dreams, is the most gracious and involved owner I have worked with in the three years of renting properties in Canada. What you see and read on the web site of Rideau Dreams is what you can expect upon arrival at this cottage. No photo shopping. There were four adults and one child in our party. Plenty of room and everything was very clean. This was our third vacation trip to the Westport area and also our first cottage rental right on the Big Rideau Lake. By boat you are within twenty minutes of Portland (marina), thirty minutes of the docks at Westport and the locks at Newboro. The three docks and swim platform provide ample opportunity for swimming and great fishing. (We caught a 19 1/2 inch bass off the swim platform). I can not say enough about our great host and his cottage. We have researched hundreds of cottages in the area, rented three, and this is the only one that we look forward to renting again.
