Nice rustic stay

We had a nice time in Perth. The house was nice, kitchen is small, but everything is very private. There is no swim dock and we wish that was communicated before we went. There is also no A/C so thankfully there were fans but it was still hot. We had a great time though.

About the host

Hosted by Cathy Ireland

I have been coming to this property 60 years. Many additions and embellishments have been added over the years but the lake remains the same. It is my favourite place and that of my children and now grandchildren.

Why they chose this property

Rideau Lake is part of the Kingston/Ottawa waterway. It is considered one of the important lakes in Ontario. The lake is clean and well stocked with fish. Rideau Ferry marina is about 4 km away by water.

What makes this property unique

Cottage is within 10 ft of the water. Shoreline and lake have a sandy bottom. Entry deepens very gradually End of the dock is about 4 ft deep I in early season.
