Superbe, un endroit calme et paisible.

Nice place to get in touch with Nature. We went during Winter time, hope to go during Summer time. Peace and quiet.

Natasha's cottage is an amazing escape from city life. First, she was extremely quick at responding to messages. The cottage is located about 10 minutes from Shawville and is on a beautiful lake. I highly recommend taking the canoe out for a paddle. Additionally the decor is very modern and clean, and comes with all the appliances and tools you would want. There's a large fire pit with chairs that is ideal for roasting marshmallows and relaxing. There is also a nice BBQ. Overall great value and highly recommend.

Very clean and modern cottage by the lake. Perfect place to take some time off and enjoy the nature. The water is loaded with heavy elements so showering and dishes can be a intimidating. Thanks again!

Jolie cabane perdue en pleine nature paddle et canoë à d'imposition pour le bonheur des petits et des grands Possibilité de pêcher avec permis : et il y a du poisson !! La cuisine est bien équipée, grand feu possible à l'extérieur, barbecue. Tout est là pour vous faire passer de doux moments. un petit bémol. L'eau jaunie riche en métaux qui coule du lavabo, et entache les équipements de bain. Ainsi que les travaux en cours actuellement sur le terrain juxtaposé

Nice place on a small lake. Peaceful and beautiful!

Tom en Karen hebben een prachtig pand langs de oever van de Ottawa rivier die ons een rustige en serene ontsnappen aangeboden van de stad. We werden hartelijk verwelkomd door Tom die ons een snelle rondleiding van het pand en de voorzieningen gaf voor het verlaten van ons te vestigen in, genieten van het bos en neem de boten naar de nabijgelegen eilanden te verkennen. De cabine werd volledig gevuld met alle benodigdheden + meer! Om te genieten van een echte wildernis ervaring in alle comfort. We hadden een geweldige tijd! Het zal niet ons laatste bezoek :) Een super plus! Hun biologische boerderij net op de straat was in haar overvloed, en Tom en Karen nodigde ons uit om te bezoeken en te oogsten sommige groenten naar huis te nemen. Het was een perfecte afsluiting van ons weekend, een dergelijke traktatie!

De gastheer verwachtte ons aan onze aankomst, was hij zeer gastvrij en nam de tijd om uit te leggen en vragen te beantwoorden. Het uitzicht was prachtig en we hadden apparatuur die echter werd geregistreerd, ik had graag de toestand binnen en buiten kennen van de cabine werd niet gehandhaafd. We hadden niet verwacht te worden ondergebracht als een 5-sterren natuurlijk. Door nadelen, verwachtten we niet naar een niet-geïsoleerde cabine hebben, met een aantal bugs en een puinhoop. We zijn niet van mening dat de waarde was het waard. Wij niet de cabine aanraden.

Tom was een zeer goede gastheer. Communicatie 10/10.

Zeer rustieke cabine. Geweldig verblijf en geweldig avontuur!

Tom Karen en Amy waren geweldige gastheren :) Altijd ervoor te zorgen dat we alles hadden wat we nodig hadden. De tuin was mooi en erg lekker we hadden verse groenten elke avond met diner. Het water is zo helder en mooi Dit was een erg leuk :) We kwamen voor een week en wenste dat het langer zou kunnen zijn :( Dank je wel weer :)

Wat een geweldige en mooie rustieke cabine, direct aan het water. Tom was een vriendelijke en attente gastheer, die bracht ons propaan onmiddellijk wanneer nodig. We gingen kanoën en vissen, en Tom rijkelijk laat ons oppikken heerlijke snijbiet en boerenkool uit zijn tuin. Een volledig dromerige plaats.

We hadden een geweldig verblijf hier, de cabine was zeer rustig, zoals geadverteerd. Tom was een geweldige gastheer en al onze vragen snel beantwoord.

Ideal getaway cabin on a beautiful piece of land where you can enjoy nature to its fullest. Campfires and fishing. Jealous of Toms lifestyle

Mon fils et moi avons passé trois nuits au bateau-maison d'Amy et nous avons adoré. Il était aussi représenté. Le bateau était très confortable avec beaucoup de personnalité. Nous nous sommes assis autour du feu et écoutions les frais généraux des oies de ricanement alors qu'ils volaient à travers la rivière. Nous n'avons pas l'occasion de rencontrer Amy, mais son père Tom était un hôte incroyable, généreux. Un point fort de notre séjour a été le dîner et la musique avec Tom et son ami Aaron. Les fournitures disponibles à Shawville sont basiques. Parlez-en à Tom si vous voulez légumes frais, nous avons trouvé une position ferme qui avait de grands œufs, le miel et même du bœuf grassfed, plus Tom fait son propre sirop d'érable. Nous allons certainement revenir.

We stayed there for 7 nights and it was very quiet and safe. We live in downtown Toronto so it was a great place to disconnect, get some quiet and relaxation and recharge our batteries. The weather was great the whole time we were there. Sunny and blue skies pretty much the whole time. We were so lucky! There was only about an hour of rain. We brought a lot of food and water with us but I would suggest that you just bring food for a day or two because there are two big grocery stores within 15 minute drive. If you stay for more then 2 days I would also suggest to bring your own cooler - however they provide you a foam cooler that is good for 2 days worth of food. - Bring lots of ice! We purchased some fresh organic veggies from the roadside stand - amazing fresh tomatoes, beans, and onions and corn from the farm. You can purchase maple syrup from Tom (Amy's father). He makes it on the property in the fall! We didn't expect running water but there was running water in the boathouse for washing dishes (don't drink). There was solar power too! Some batteries to charge your devices and provide some light at night if you need it. (candles are nicer though!) My wife said "Using the outhouse wasn't as bad as you might think!" The host came to check on us once and awhile to make sure we were alright but did not disturb us at all. Overall we had a great relaxing time, napping in the hammock, soaking up a lot of sun on the little private beach, canoeing, kayaking and wandering about on the farm.

The houseboat was a wonderful home for a our week stay. Lots of privacy, comfy beds and the hosts are very accommodating. Visits from the resident farm dog was a wonderful perk. The calm river offered excellent canoeing and fishing and the nearby towns had everything you can ask for. Looking forward to a future visit!

Nous avons adoré l'expérience unique d'un Housboat échoué! Juste assez rustique tout en étant parfaitement sec et confortable. Nous avons eu une explosion et nous avons adoré le front de mer de détente et de voyages à zéro carbone Garden. Tom, Karen et Amy sont d'excellents hôtes.

Fantastic stay! Truly a wonderful get away.

My friends and I had a great time in the houseboat. It is a wonderfull location and Tom and Amy were perfect hosts, thanks again!

Génial. J'y suis allé avec da femme et da kid pour da escapade. Les eaux peu profondes à l'ombre. Plage privée. L'accès aux bateaux et des canots. Aucun voisin. Ferme biologique pour obtenir mes produits à partir. La seule chose qui aurait fait mieux était un séjour plus long ... hélas le monde réel est venu appeler ...

Beautiful location! A totally different experience, perhaps not for everyone, but exactly what we were looking for! Use of kayak was also ideal. Amazing, thank you!

We really loved how private the beach was! Wish it was closer but at the same time we could let the kids run outside and not be worried about the water right there!

Really pleasant stay all around. Caution: there is poison ivy on, and around, the property. Do your research so you can spot it. Also stay on the dedicated pathways.

Great place for a summer getaway with friends or family. Beach was very private and is a quiet area tucked away in the woods but also close to town. We loved it!

Great for family travel

This cottage was perfect for our family vacation! We went with 2 children (2 and 5) and the set up was great! The home had everything we neede and more, and the private beach was clean, had a gazebo and low water for about 50ft which was perfect for our two littles! BBQ, screened in porch, gazebo by the beach, what more could you ask for! It's was so comfortable and relaxing, we didn't want to leave!!!

Jacqui and Justin were so friendly and accommodating, checking in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. Our 20 month old loved the cottage just as much as we did. Our favourite part was by far the private beach with fire pit. This is a beautiful vacation spot and they thought of all the little details. We look forward to visiting again :)

Great relaxing holiday spot Would recommend

what wonderful steps from the Ottawa river!

Bright and clean cottage located between the park and the beach, walking distance to both. Nice quiet location, perfect spot for a relaxing vacation, close to Ottawa and very reasonably priced.

Very quiet farmland setting. Manuel is a great host and makes certain you are expected and welcomed. Really enjoyed my all-too-short one-night stay.

Endroit agréable en forest.

Das war ein schöner romantischer Winterurlaub mit meiner Freundin. Ich habe für den Holzofen Pflege, Holz spalten und die Gegend mit dem Schneeschuh zu erkunden. Trennen von der Außenwelt und die Verbindung mit meiner Freundin war therapeutisch. Die Kabine ist rustikal mit modernem Design touch. Es war sehr sauber und enthielt alles, was in der Küche benötigt. Es gab viele Beleuchtungsoptionen wie Scheinwerfer, Laternen (viele zusätzliche Batterien) und Kerzen. Der Holzofen hielt uns schön warm auch bei -15C Temperaturen in der Nacht. Das Anwesen ist ideal für allgemeine Exploration und schöne Landschaft. Der Gastgeber war hilfreich und gut kommuniziert.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour au calme. À refaire !

당신이 모든 연결을 해제하려면 좋은 장소 머물 수 있습니다. 굉장 작은 오두막.

This was just heaven. Beautiful home with so .much attention to detail. Tracy was a great host. The water was visible from every room and so many places to sit and relax . It was just what we needed!

I had a wonderful stay at this little gem called The Tower. The space was bright and beautiful. Very private but Jennifer and her husband were just a text away. I highly recommend The Tower for your trip to Renfrew!

My girlfriend and I had a great stay in the Country Tower. Jennifer was a great host and provided some special treats for us when we arrived. The place was very clean and well-equipped. I would highly recommend staying there. Also, if you stay there on a clear night, you should look up at the sky, there are a lot more stars than you can see in the city.

Where do we start? Such a lovely property with such great hosts. Scott and Chantal welcomed us with open arms. Lovely house with a beautiful view. Definitely looked and felt like a resort. Swimming pool, hot tub, gym, pool table and camp fires. We were welcomed in the morning with a bright smile and fresh breakfast of fruits, coffee, tea and muffins. 10 stars for sure. See you again soon. G and J

Desde el primer momento nos sentimos como en casa. Cathy hizo todo lo posible para ofrecernos el mejor trato y lo consiguió. Es una cocinera y anfitriona excelente. Su casa de madera parece sacada de un cuento de hadas, no solo es enorme sino que además está decorada con todo lujo de detalles. Tanto el alojamiento como los anfitriones fueron perfectos.

I loved staying here. The house is beautiful , the location idyllic and the hosts could not have been more welcoming and generous

Cathy and Walker made us feel more than welcome, right from when we arrived. It was wonderful getting that kind of reception after a long journey.

We had a short but so pleasant stay with our Family. This typical House made of big wood trunks is so charming. The location far the road in the wood is very quiet. I syrongly recommend Cathy B&B. And also the kindness of the hosts.

I'm a Chinese teacher in Canada and booked the log home for the sake of celebrating 150 Canada Day. Although later on I found it's one hour drive away from Ottawa, I still wanted to keep it. It turns out that I've made a right choice for my family. Cathy made me feel at home by everything she's done for me and my family. We have a chance to visit her family farms, feeding the one month old cattle, and driving John deer car. Everything is so different from what I've experienced in China. If you've little kids and if you love nature, don't hesitate to choose log home!!

Cathy and Walker have a beautiful log house and a charming cabin with a breathtaking view! They were the sweetest hosts and really made us feel welcome - definitely hope we could stay there again.

This was our first time using Air B&B and it was amazing! Cathy and her family go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and comfortable. Their home is absolutely beautiful. The loft provided more than enough room for our family of 3 - it was perfect! They even provided a welcome basket and bagels/coffee for breakfast. We really felt like we were VIPs. Thank you Cathy for a wonderful stay.

We stayed two nights here at Cathy's and had a wonderful stay. From the start we were made to feel very much at home by our very welcoming, down to earth hosts. Comfortable, clean, peaceful with exceptional hospitality - it makes it very easy to want to be welcomed back. Thank you, Cathy and Walker - we hope to see you soon, again!

Great stay at Donnas cottage. The space was very clean and well kept. The cottage neighbours the owners house, but there is enough privacy. All essentials are available (coffee machine, plates, mugs, mini fridge, etc.). Firewood was available for $5 which included fire starters and kindling. Would recommend to a friend.

Donna was an easy host with a smooth check-in process. Finding the cottage was simple (once we put in the right address!) and is along the Ottawa river. We rented the entire cottage, both sides, for a group of 5. Pro's: Clean, has everything you need to enjoy the outdoors (BBQ, pedalo, private deck, lawn chairs, picnic tables, fire pit), good value. Donna interacted with us when we wanted to (i.e. help with the fire!) Con's: Quite small with the only indoor living space being the kitchen/dining room, the fridges (one on each side) are also small and as mentioned, only a hot plates but none on the bachelor-side. Not very secluded.

Great cabin even better location

Our stay at Donna's was great. The property and the river are beautiful and Donna was very accommodating. Highly recommended.
