Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Big Rideau Lake

Our stay was more than we could have asked for. This Airbnb is a hidden gem. We’ve been to many Airbnbs all over the world, and I can tell you this one is really special. The garden is very spacious, with friendly little cows in the background. The inside is also spacious thanks to the beautiful high ceilings. The decor and original church aesthetic they kept makes you feel at home. The outdoor annex for extra guests is so cozy and cute!! it really comes in handy if you are more than two. This Airbnb truly has everything a household needs, from bug spray to doggy bags. We’re usually honest and critical about Airbnbs, and we don’t shy away from pointing out things that could be improved, but with this one, we truly have nothing bad to say. We would come back in a heartbeat!

This is the second time we've stayed at the Globe House in Prince Edward County. We found even more to love the house and Prince Edward County in general. Fred's always been so accommodating and quick to answer any questions we had, something we appreciate about a good host. Waking up to a wide array of birds at the feeder and falling asleep to the moon, stars and fireflies in (often) perfect view really makes this remote stay feel even more magical; like being in a fantasy land. The best part is that although it feels remote, it's only a 15 min drive to the biggest town in PEC. The place is always well kept, clean and spacious. We're already making plans to come back!

An awesome place to stay. Loved the fact that we all had queen size, very comfortable beds. It was so nicely decorated , clean, organized and had everything you would need. The place exuded warmth, was inviting, and although it was big, felt very cozy. Lana was an exceptional host, friendly yet professional, easy to contact and quick to respond, helpful and truly wanted her guests to have a wonderful, fun and relaxing holiday. The golf course was great and the fishing excellent!

This was the second time we have stayed here at Heather's place. The location is second to none; peaceful, private, beautiful. The house was clean, easy to find, easy to access using the lock and instructions she provided. We had a great time on the back deck, utilized the grill and the kitchen with no glitches. Everything was great! I'm so glad the unit was available for the weekend we were looking to book. We can't wait to return, and possibly stay longer than a weekend. Thank you Heather! Nancy U.

This unique house lives up to its name . Very quiet and peaceful place which even our furry family member loved, she had a lot of space to move around .

This cottage was right on the lake and was extremely peaceful. Kayaks and paddle boards were so much fun! It’s a short trip away from 1000 islands which was so worth it!!

This is a magical place. We spent as much time as we could on the screened in patio because of the view, wildlife and relaxation without bugs. The living space was beautiful and functional, so well stocked of essentials and more. It felt like we were visiting friends who were happy that we were there. Great communication, very welcoming. We found the location to be a nice balance of wilderness and close enough to towns for needs. It was a great spot for us as we toured through all the towns outside of Ottawa. This area of the world is beautiful. And there are no better hosts than Julie and Tony.

Maria’s home was beautiful with a spectacular view right on the water. We enjoyed time on the dock, kayaking, paddle boarding and canoeing in the bay. Maria was kind enough to provide us wood for the fire pit and the kids loved cooking s’mores at night. The hot tub was relaxing after a long day exploring the area. Maria’s home was clean and comfortable and we felt right at home. Thank you Maria for being a wonderful host and sharing your beautiful home!

This was the perfect addition to my wedding weekend! Julie made it extra special with a welcome sign and bottle of champagne to great my guests and I! The place is absolutely stunning, so warm, cozy and just what we needed for a wedding stay with the bridal party. It surpassed my expectations and Julie and her partner were wonderful - we even had a tour and learned some history on the place. Can’t wait to come back !

We had this one booked since November so we were super excited and it was as nice if not more beautiful in person, we will keep coming back and already have other locations booked, see you soon

The place was perfect for us !

Jean- Paul's place was just what we needed for our stay in Ottawa. Great location close to the city but quiet and comfortable for the night. He was very communicative and even accommodated an early check-in which is not always possible but very appreciate. Definitely recommend this spot if visiting Ottawa!

Fantastic location, stunning property. We really enjoyed our girls weekend at Jay’s. It was exactly as described and the house was beautifully designed and for the most part, very well-maintained despite being in the country. It’s not cheap but you definitely get what you pay for. We had a hiccup in the beginning of our stay, but Jay is a masterclass in hospitality and used it as an opportunity to really turn things around for us. Jay is responsive and efficient and as guests we really appreciated that. We hope to be back!

Very spacious comfortable accommodation. No easy place to go for a walk other than the main road, and driving required for food and drink.

Our stay was truly incredible, best Airbnb we’ve ever been too. There was so much to do around the home with all of the available amenities. It’s very cozy, we felt right at home. The home is super close to local restaurants and grocery stores. It was quite the experience. Scott is an amazing host, we highly recommend staying here. Thank you for making our first trip to Canada a very memorable experience. We hope to visit and stay again sometime in the future.

Angela's place is great for a group getaway, she was helpful and easy to communicate with.

Really enjoyed our weekend stay at this perfect little cottage. Magdalena is a great host and has an awesome property, don’t hesitate to book here!

fantastic little place. Rene and Deacon were great hosts ! Access to the lake was greatly appreciated when the weather is so hot! Kayaks and all amenities were also available. recommend the little Bunkie.

We just loved Hanna’s place! The cottage was exactly as pictured. The kids loved the standup paddle boards and the grandkids loved swimming in the crystal clear water off the dock - yes - in September! We even caught a fair sized bass - right off the dock. We spent a lot of time kayaking the lovely and serene lake. Thanks Hanna for the great experience and the very thoughtful touches everywhere. You have thought of everything 😀. The screened in porch was magical and we enjoyed eating there. We will definitely be back!

We love this cottage! We rent a cottage near Westport every summer, and this one was for sure one we’d come back to. It’s only 2 minutes down a gravel road (incredibly short) and a 9 minutes down drive to the grocery store, while still being beautifully quiet on the lake. We saw tons of deer and did lots of swimming. Highly recommend. Also highly recommend the driving range just down the road! We “worked from home” for the week, and the wifi was more than capable of supporting that (not necessarily city speeds, but for video on meetings and Netflix it was perfectly fine!)

The place was really nice and with a great view. We enjoyed kayaking and bonfires. Amber was amazing with all the instructions and quick responses.

This place was beautiful and felt like home! There’s is not a lot of cell phone service only on wifi. The house had everything you needed, just when you thought you brought everything they already had it! Spices, pans, pots, tin foil etc. It is a very quiet area. There was a dock a few minutes away we launched our boat to go fishing as well! Will be back for sure!

We loved it! The cottage is located in a private area on the lake, well-decorated, and has 4 levels making it very spacious. The hottub and sauna were awesome - perfect for our winter stay. We liked the couch in the downstairs living room as it was big and comfortable, and we appreciated the Roku for easy streaming. We had no issues driving to the cottage even after heavy snowfall - the private road and driveway were cleared. Walkways, stairs and decks were also cleared. Plenty of room outside for walks with a dog and other activities. We would highly recommend Siobhan’s cottage!

We were a group of lifelong friends up for a long weekend and this place was just an amazing backdrop for a long overdue reunion. The space was impeccable, the lot was beautiful and the wood-powered sauna & hot tub were well-loved. Everything was as described -- the first person that arrived simply said "this place is incredible." The manager was super responsive and really friendly and helpful as we figured out the sauna. We've been home and hour and are already talking of booking May 2026 ... now. The place is really pretty, well-appointed and we were thrilled with the weekend.
