This was our second time staying at Sheila’s, we felt right at home. Thank you for everything!

The Lake Escape - Waterfront, Hot Tub Sleeps 14!
Our family had a wonderful stay at this cottage. It was clean, it had a well-stocked kitchen and comfortable rooms to sleep. The check-in process was easy and everything was easy to find in the home. Our kids loved the ping pong table. The hot tub was especially lovely as the weather was a bit cooler than we had hoped for! Again, a lovely visit and we would highly recommend. This is an excellently kept AirBnB and a really kind and thoughtful host. We had forgotten some belongings behind and were quickly notified and he offered to ship them back to us, making our life so much easier and solving a problem that could have been a headache! We will be back in the future!

Waterfront Chalet Le Crepuscule Mont Tremblant
Le chalet était parfait pour notre groupe de 16 avec tout le nécessaire. La localisation entre le Mont Tremblant et le Mont Blanc rendait l’accès facile pour le ski avec peu de temps de déplacement.

Wonderful lakefront cottage sleeps 6 (max).
Nous avons passé un merveilleux réveillon de Noël auprès du feu dans le joli cottage de Barbara. Les environs étaient sublimes. Le logement confortable. Barbara a été une hôte adorable, flexible sur les horaires ce qui nous a permis de profiter au maximum, réactive lorsque nous avions des questions. Nous nous sommes vraiment senti accueillis et choyés. Merci beaucoup!

3BDR Condo Near Village with Resort Amenities!
The condo was very well located and beautiful. The kitchen was not as equipped as listed. Dishes missing and limited cookware. The team was super responsive if we did have any questions. I would stay here again.

Home away from home
We had a group of 5 of us staying in this home plus a dog and we were very comfortable. The house is very clean and well furnished. Hosts responded promptly. Lots of space to relax plus a fenced in yard for the dog. I would definitely stay here again.

Brown Bear Lodge CITQ 296775
Nous avons eu un agréable séjour au chalet. Nous étions un groupe de 9 personnes. Tout était parfait. La déco, l'environnement extérieur, le confort du chalet, la propreté. La cuisine est tres bien équipée. Tout est fourni tel qu'indiqué dans la description. Cuisine et salon très spacieux. Les chambres très confortables. Il n'y a pas d'eau potable, mais l'hôte nous avait avisé et nous avions apporté nos bouteilles d'eau. Nous recommandons cet endroit sans hésitation. Merci à l'équipe pour ce beau séjour.

Le Rusti Shack Tremblant/Bord de l'eau/Chalet
We actually extended the stay a few extra days because the cabin was a really nice place to chill after a long day on the slopes. The hosts were very responsive and having the place be dog friendly was an added benefit. If we make it back to Mont tremblant we will stay again.
Your guide to Ottawa River
All About Ottawa River
With headwaters in the Laurentian Mountains, the Ottawa River in Canada winds its way south, forming a natural border between the territories of Ontario and Quebec. Extending 745 miles in total, this waterway is Canada’s eighth largest river, with enormous historical and cultural value to the cities and provinces along its route.
The Ottawa River runs through 26 national and provincial parks and serves as a recreation resource for the cities it flows through, which include Montreal and the Canadian capital of Ottawa. With over 85 species of fish in the upper and lower portions of the river, including smallmouth bass, the predatory muskellunge, and rainbow trout, fishing this river is a favorite pastime. If you’re staying near the river, take advantage of the angling, whitewater rafting, and kayaking opportunities on the water or merely walk or cycle along its banks.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Ottawa River
One of the best times of the year to book cottage rentals near the Ottawa River is between May and September, when the water is warm enough to enjoy rafting and swimming. In both spring and autumn, the very cool temperatures and rain make the river less accessible for outdoor activity. But in winter, when Ottawa is covered in snow and freezing temperatures, stretches of the river freeze over, and experienced guides can help you find a safe spot to do some ice-fishing.
Top things to do in Ottawa River
Rideau Canal
The 125-mile Rideau Canal was built in Ottawa as a commercial waterway between Lake Ontario and the Ottawa River. The canal became more of a site for boating and leisure activities in the 20th century. In 2007, this stone-walled canal became an UNESCO World Heritage site in recognition of its value as the oldest continuously operated canal system in North America. The best time to visit the Rideau Canal is during winter, when it freezes over and becomes the world’s largest ice-skating rink.
Ottawa River Provincial Park
The Ottawa River is one of the biggest whitewater rafting destinations in Canada. Some of the best spots to raft are along a section of river within Ottawa River Provincial Park, just outside the town of Foresters Falls, a 90-minute drive northwest of the city of Ottawa. Here, you’ll find both gentle courses and thrilling class IV and V rapids.
Voyageur Provincial Park
To see a gentler side of the powerful Ottawa River, head to Voyageur Provincial Park, one hour west of central Montreal. This 3,600-acre park, on the Ontario side of the river, is adjacent to the Carillon Dam, which transformed the upstream waters from rocky, perilous rapids into a placid reservoir. You’ll find swimming spots and two boat launches in the park, as well as canoe rentals.
