Fabulous Cottage on the Rideau

We loved Rideau Pines and are looking forward to staying there again. It was a true cottage experience. We loved kayaking and paddle boarding in the quiet bay. The cottage was to so close to so many towns and cities for day excursions. We were very close to family and friends as well. There are no sheets, towels or dish clothes available with this rental. Difficult if flying in from out of province or country. Thank you for making our vacation one of the best.
