Lakeside cottage rental
CITQ registration #300046
The cottage is on Lac Sinclair, about 1 hour from downtown Ottawa. 5 bedrooms available, sandy beach, comes with use of a canoe, paddle boat and kayak, fire-pit by the lake, BBQ in the screened in porch so no bugs for dinner, wood stove in the basement along with a pool table, kitchen has electric stove, dishwasher and double sink, Keurig coffee and a drip machine and a refrigerator, (second refrigerator on the porch). Dining room table seats 10 people very comfortably and we have had 14 or more people without too many elbows being bumped. There is 1.5 bathrooms, sorry, a shower but no tub (although there is a lakeā¦), washer and dryer in the basement washroom. It is on a well, so the water is very drinkable without having to worry about boiling. It is a four season place, so it is open in the winter too if you want to rent it later in the year. The price is 2,000$/week, but please give me a call and we can discuss winter rates. I am asking for a 500$ returnable damage/cleaning deposit. You will get that back as long as there is no damage, undue cleaning required or noise violations/fines. Of course there are others on the lake so I ask that you consider my neighbours and not create a nuisance after hours. I also want to keep the place smoke free, there is a walk out area that is covered so smokers will not suffer too much even in the rain... Xmas/ New Years and Thanksgiving I will likely have special rates, and by special I mean higher. There may be a few extras as well, like firewood will be 10$ a bundle for bonfires. What else can I say for now, there is space to set up a badminton net, and horse shoes or petanque if you prefer (have to bring your own balls or shoes), and a good size area for parking if required. I added bocci balls and crocket sets this year. The municipality has a new bylaw that prohibits you using your own boats. I expect that will be the same anywhere in Quebec, if not now then soon. They do this to protect the quality of the lakes from invasive species. For the winter, a little bit of a hill for tobogganing if you like. The lake does freeze over late in the season for snowshoeing and X-country skiing. Nice quiet location. Satellite TV, free wifi. Recently added a Hot Tub, for which there will be an extra 200$/stay usage fee.. Property is registered with both the municipality and CITQ, and has been inspected by police and fire department as part of that process so you know its safe. I even have an AED available on site, and recently, 2025, added epipens to my first aid supplies! I do not provide linens although I have some available if you are traveling long distances etc. We can discuss. I mention this here because there has been recent confusion with the website. If you do not see something specifically listed under amenities then please do not assume it is provided, ask the question of the owner.
Give me a call if you have any questions! Donald

This was a fantastic property, with enough room to accommodate an entire family and more. Fantastic fully equipped kitchen, screened in deck overlooking the lake with a bbq, and a hot tub outside overlooking the lake. Surprisingly we had no mosquitoes which meant sitting outside til dark was doable and pleasant. The pictures are accurate with the exception of the kitchen being way better than expected and the space being very large for a cottage. The host met us 30 mins away and drove in w us as there is no cell signal. Very responsive and pleasant to communicate with.
The communication from Donald was excellent. He replied quickly to all inquiries. Accessing the cottage was easy. He provided thorough directions (pictures and words) to aid you with getting there. The directions to get into the cottage were very clear.
The inside of the cottage had anything that you would need. The kitchen was fully stocked (pots, pans, coffee maker, microwave, two fridges, pizza trays, salad spinner etc), with a ton of dishes to last three meals for 6 people.
The kitchen table was amazing. It can seat a lot of people for eating, card playing, games etc. The beds were comfortable with many rooms for guests to spread out.
The screen in porch had a nice view of the lake and was a bonus for BBQing, playing cards, having happy hour and not getting eaten alive by the mosquitoes and watching the rain storms!!
There was plenty of grass space to play games (Bocci, Corn Hole (we brought our own) and for the dog to run around.
Access to the water was easy. The dock is long and gives plenty of room to attach floating tubes for reading and lounging, two kayaks, paddle boat and water mat, that the children loved.
It was a great quiet week away, with lots of relaxation. We would recommend this cottage for others to rent.
Host was great and gave us all the information we needed in plenty of time, the place is well stocked with almost everything you need including entertainment and games for adults and children.
We were 10 guys on motorcycles, and the place was perfect for our needs. Donald was a great host and took us through all of the process at the beginning of our stay. He was flexible and courteous. It isnāt a ritz Carleton, but it has plenty of space to accommodate large groups comfortably. Will definitely be back!
Donald has everything you could need for a family or friends looking for a cozy and good time. Thanks for having us!! The hot tub is an awesome addition

Great weekend
This was a wonderful cottage to rent. The lake is quiet, it is easy to find, accommodates many people, and has the amenities you could need. The owner was very nice and was great for responding to inquiries. I loved that it was pet friendly and that I was able to book for just the weekend. I would definitely rent this cottage again.
Very easy to work with Donald. Helpful descriptions and directions. Lots of space and fun activities. Pool table, hot tub, canoe and paddle boat were all big hits with the boys. Thank you!
Donald has everything you would want in a cottage rental for your family and some! We enjoyed the screened-in porch where we enjoyed all our meals, a kayak, canoes, and a paddle boat for water activities, a hot tub to relax, and an enclosed fire pit. He thought of life jackets for all ages, pots, pans, cutlery, and even spices, tea and coffee. We were very pleased with our stay.
Great stay. The apartment, adjacent to Iona University, is located around the back of the principal home atop a five step stoop facing a grassy lawn with a garden and sitting area. Parking is off street. The unit is very clean as it was recently renovated. The bedroom is quite spacious easily accommodating the queen size bed. The sitting room is furnished with a modular couch/lounge which expands into a second sleeping option. Both rooms have modern smart TVs. The bathroom, while small, is well appointed and makes efficient use of the space. The kitchen meets all the basic cooking needs and has a gas stove. All-in-all, a nice place to stay at a good value in Westchester County.
The atmosphere is good but neghbour worse we played music 3 min outside lady came and threatened us and the owner is great very helpful overall Compared to other places I wouldnāt go there any more
Everything was great. 2 dogs loved it. There was lots to do. Really enjoyed the covered patio with the BBQ. Lake is nice, pretty booming. Saw a turtle, some frogs, great for the fam. Tons of room.
The owner is easy going, responsive, informative, polite... No complaints.
Overall I would give 3.5 for this property. The place could use more cleaning and decluttering. However the host was very nice and accommodating for anything we needed. He helped us bring in our stuff. The gazebo off the kitchen is certainly a big plus, we were able to eat and hang out there even when in rainy days and we still had a nice view of the lake. There are tons of movies to watch and even a satellite dish was available downstairs. It was very quiet place to relax and reflect on. Thank you Donald we would go back another for sure.
Stayed here with my daughter and brother with his family and some of the kid's friends. A 2 night 3 day stay was just perfect and more than met our needs. Cottage is big and roomy, kitchen area was huge and fully equipped! Large screened in BBQ area was awesome. Kids stayed mainly on the lower level which is a large space, had bedrooms, couches and big screen tv, pool table, it's own bathroom and quick access to the large yard which slopes down to the lake. Perfect for them and us as the adults stayed upstairs and the kids were out of the way. Met Donald at the Tim Horton's and he guided us up to the cottage. Very nice person, showed us the grounds and answered all of our questions. Overall we had a great stay. Only one issue is that this end of the lake is very shallow, sandy and muddy. Entire bay is 1-4 feet max which was not great for swimming. Could not jump off the dock without getting stuck in the mud. Deep water doesn't start till you are outside of the bay heading towards the main lake. However, the bay is a great place to kayak which we did lot of and looks serene from the cottage. Dog had time of her life !! We very much enjoyed the stay.
We had terrible experience with this cottage and unsafe for kids, here are our feedback:First, the AC situation: The listing indicated air conditioner, but when we arrived there were only 2 small portable units one in hallway and other one in basement. None in bedrooms. These kept tripping the power every 10 minutes whenever we tried to use them, so we had to rely on opening windows for airflow. It was very hot inside, and we could not get a comfortable nightās sleep. The kids were crying through the night because of the heat.Second, safety concerns: Basement had kids unfriendly and dangerous tools that were easily accessible, only covered with thin plastic divider, wet basement slippery for small children, rat traps dangerous to kids if they accidentally touch them, seeds inside tablet box easily accessible to kids. This was not child-proofed at all, and the listing never mentioned that the space would be unsafe for children. This meant we, as adults, were not able to relax or enjoy fully, since we had to spend most of the time supervising for safety.Third, the water and lake area: The listing described the water as clean and sandy, but in reality it was muddy, dark, and not safe for young kids.Drainage smell from Septic tank constantly came near hot tub area which caused us unpleasant headaches.Barbecue Grill: we purchased chicken patty, veggies and buns to use for our dinner night but barbecue condition was terrible, it had rust or stains on its lid, never cleaned.
