Industrial Loft 1 | Hot Tub | Pool Table | Lake
We really enjoyed our stay.. The place was quiet and very cozy. Had everything we needed.

Modern Bright Monthly Short Term Executive Rental
We had an exceptional stay at Trevor's bungalow! Perfectly designed for our family of four, it was both spacious and cozy. The location was ideal—conveniently close to local shopping, attractions and a short drive to beautiful Gatineau Park. The house was impeccably clean and beautifully furnished, making us feel right at home. We especially appreciated the well-equipped kitchen, which made meal prep easy, and the comfy living area where we relaxed after our day trips, summer work experience, and camps. The backyard deck was a fantastic spot for us to BBQ and unwind in the evenings. Trevor was incredibly welcoming and quick to respond to any minor issues. Overall, this bungalow offered a perfect blend of comfort and convenience, making our summer visit truly memorable. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore Canada's capital while enjoying a homey retreat!

Chalet on the banks of the Ottawa River
My family all enjoyed their stay at this homey cottage. Loved the close proximity to the river. The back yard, being fully fenced, was great for our dog. We enjoyed a nice fire in the fire pit outside in the evening. The kitchen & bathroom were clean & fully stocked with everything we needed. The neighbour’s were very friendly, the hot tub was relaxing & Pierre was very quick to respond to my questions.

New Westboro Home, ROOFTOP HOTTUB, lux bedding!!
Emily’s house was a dream and is highly recommended. Our family of 5 (with 3 kids under 10) spent a week at Emily’s house while in Ottawa to help out a family member. We were so grateful for Emily’s hospitality. As we were there during yet another wave of the pandemic, coupled with virtual school, we were basically in lockdown at the house - it could have been a very unpleasant week. Instead, it was truly wonderful to have Emily’s beautiful home to feel grounded in. The house was clean, comfortable, exactly as represented in the pictures, and we were struck by the attention to detail. The communication with Emily was perfect. After a week in the house, we joked about staying a week longer! There is no doubt that we will return.

Bright 1 bedroom on the park, close to everything
Perfect location for our skating weekend in Ottawa. Quick walk to the canal. Backs onto a great park and wonderful dog walking. The apartment itself has everything we needed and was very comfortable.

The Craftsman’s Home
My family and I really appreciated staying in this stylish, interesting, beautiful house. Everything about it is comfortable and convenient. Towels and linens are generously provided, and there are lots of extras from coffee to paper products. The kitchen is nice to cook in. The windows provide beautiful light, but the home feels private. The place is very quiet and private. We enjoyed walking in the fields and woods that are immediately adjacent. Patrick was an ideal host for us, offering assistance and answering questions but he was very discreet. I really felt like the house was ours during the time we stayed there. We would love to return sometime. I recommend this place very highly.

James’s place is immaculately clean, bright, comfortable and in the best possible location in Ottawa, close to great pubs, restaurants, amenities and right by the river. Communication was very efficient and I’d book again in a heartbeat

Pretty view of the Rideau River. Quiet spot to relax, take a stroll around the neighborhood. The kitchen had everything that was needed to cook. Comfy bed with a great view.

Meech Lake peaceful retreat
We had a fantastic stay! The place was incredibly spacious, giving everyone plenty of room to relax. The fireplaces were absolutely amazing, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere throughout. The kitchen was well-equipped and perfect for cooking meals together. Overall, a great experience - highly recommend!

Pets Pool Hot Tub Sauna - Santa Fe Style Retreat!
A great property. A very responsive host.

Wonderful house
Pierre’s home is lovely and well appointed. It was exactly as the photos depict. The home was spotless upon arrival and Pierre was easily reached to answer any questions. Our family of 4 was very comfortable. It was nice to be near nature but also near amenities and a short drive to downtown Ottawa.

Stunning waterfront home, 25min to downtown Ottawa
Great place! 4 adults, 3 children. We skied at Camp Fortune 3 days and visited a museum on the fourth. Pictures describe the place very well. Kids played in the huge backyard. We also went for a 2 hour walk on a trail nearby. It’s a house with character, and can be a bit draughty in some places, and also is unevenly heated. That was our only issue. Nice showers and bathrooms. Comfy beds. Good lighting. Kitchen is well-stocked and spacious. Mud room large and convenient. We would definitely return. Thank you!

(B&B) The house of happiness! - Private suite.
Chantal is an amazing host! my step daughter and I spent a great 4 days there while visiting Ottawa. we enjoyed the drive to and from Gatineau each day and we loved the space Chantal has for her guests. 10/10 experience and we'll be going back on our next trip there!
