4 Bedroom Cottage in Ottawa Division, Merrickville
We have a charming place to offer, nestled on the Rideau River near historic Burritts Rapids, between Merrickville and Kemptville. The property is a cozy, fully updated early-19th century home featuring lots of outdoor space and easy river access from the backyard.
Here's what you can expect in your stay!
Property Highlights:
1. Private river access with dock and swim raft:
We have newly-installed wooden stairs leading straight from the backyard to our private dock and swim raft that you can dive off of! The dock has plenty of space for fishing, docking kayaks and boats, or unwinding and watching the sunset over the river.
2. Outdoor spaces featuring a comfortable screened-in gazebo:
The property offers two large lawns with tree cover- great for games, picnics, campfires, or simply lounging in the scenery.
Our screened-in gazebo offers an amazing river view with couches and tables; making for a great spot to enjoy a morning coffee, evening cocktail, or games night under the string lights with natural beauty around you.

Fully equipped kitchen:
Everything you need to prepare meals- featuring a wide range of new appliances, as well as spices, sugar, and flour all available for your convenience.
4 comfortable bedrooms:
1 king, 1 queen, and 2 double bedrooms fitted with fresh linens.

Ample space for several vehicles.
Nearby attractions & things to do:
- Tip-to-tip trail: Beginning just a hundred metres down the road, across Burritts Rapids within forest, marsh, and dam areas; alongside the river the whole way.
- Historical points of interest:
Visit Lock 17 and the little community of Burritts Rapids just a short walk down the road. Many original 19th century buildings remain, complete with plaques detailing the history of the area.
- Water Activities:
Our stretch of the river- in the long reach of the Rideau- is excellent for kayaking, boating, fishing, and swimming. (Bring your own kayaks, fishing gear, or boat- not provided).
- Henry Street Park beach area and river floating:
There is a little sand community beach approximately 1km from the house, right off the tip-to-tip in Burritts Rapids. The beach offers a swing set and playground on the adjacent street for kids. The beach is excellent for launching floating tubes for the current to take you downriver right back to our dock. Estimated floating time- depending on river and wind conditions- is about 2 hours. It's a perfect afternoon activity to take in the beauty of the area on the water without a boat!
We welcome you warmly to our riverside retreat and hope you enjoy the experience and everything we have to offer! We will be off the property in the interest of your privacy and comfort during your stay, but always available for questions and concerns. More details will be available in the Welcome Booklet.
