Lakeside cottage rental CITQ registration #300046

The cottage is on Lac Sinclair, about 1 hour from downtown Ottawa. 5 bedrooms available, sandy beach, comes with use of a canoe, paddle boat and kayak, fire-pit by the lake, BBQ in the screened in porch so no bugs for dinner, wood stove in the basement along with a pool table, kitchen has electric stove, dishwasher and double sink, Keurig coffee and a drip machine and a refrigerator, (second refrigerator on the porch). Dining room table seats 10 people very comfortably and we have had 14 or more people without too many elbows being bumped. There is 1.5 bathrooms, sorry, a shower but no tub (although there is a lake…), washer and dryer in the basement washroom. It is on a well, so the water is very drinkable without having to worry about boiling. It is a four season place, so it is open in the winter too if you want to rent it later in the year. The price is 1500$/week, but please give me a call and we can discuss winter rates. I am asking for a 500$ returnable damage/cleaning deposit. You will get that back as long as there is no damage, undue cleaning required or noise violations/fines. Of course there are others on the lake so I ask that you consider my neighbours and not create a nuisance after hours. I also want to keep the place smoke free, there is a walk out area that is covered so smokers will not suffer too much even in the rain... Xmas/ New Years and Thanksgiving I will likely have special rates, and by special I mean higher. There may be a few extras as well, like firewood will be 200$ a face cord if you use a lot for bonfires.
What else can I say for now, there is space to set up a badminton net, and horse shoes or petanque if you prefer (have to bring your own balls or shoes), and a good size area for parking if required. I added bocci balls and crocket sets this year. The municipality has a new bylaw that prohibits you using your own boats. I expect that will be the same anywhere in Quebec, if not now then soon. They do this to protect the quality of the lakes from invasive species.
For the winter, a little bit of a hill for tobogganing if you like. The lake does freeze over late in the season for snowshoeing and X-country skiing. Nice quiet location.
Satellite TV, free wifi. Recently added a Hot Tub.
Property is registered with both the municipality and CITQ, and has been inspected by police and fire department as part of that process so you know its safe. I even have an AED available on site!
I do not provide linens although I have some available if you are traveling long distances etc. We can discuss. I mention this here because there has been recent confusion with the website. If you do not see something specifically listed under amenities then please do not assume it is provided, ask the question of the owner.

Give me a call if you have any questions!

Quiet lake
This was a fantastic property, with enough room to accommodate an entire family and more. Fantastic fully equipped kitchen, screened in deck overlooking the lake with a bbq, and a hot tub outside overlooking the lake. Surprisingly we had no mosquitoes which meant sitting outside til dark was doable and pleasant. The pictures are accurate with the exception of the kitchen being way better than expected and the space being very large for a cottage. The host met us 30 mins away and drove in w us as there is no cell signal. Very responsive and pleasant to communicate with.

Great week!
The communication from Donald was excellent. He replied quickly to all inquiries. Accessing the cottage was easy. He provided thorough directions (pictures and words) to aid you with getting there. The directions to get into the cottage were very clear. The inside of the cottage had anything that you would need. The kitchen was fully stocked (pots, pans, coffee maker, microwave, two fridges, pizza trays, salad spinner etc), with a ton of dishes to last three meals for 6 people. The kitchen table was amazing. It can seat a lot of people for eating, card playing, games etc. The beds were comfortable with many rooms for guests to spread out. The screen in porch had a nice view of the lake and was a bonus for BBQing, playing cards, having happy hour and not getting eaten alive by the mosquitoes and watching the rain storms!! There was plenty of grass space to play games (Bocci, Corn Hole (we brought our own) and for the dog to run around. Access to the water was easy. The dock is long and gives plenty of room to attach floating tubes for reading and lounging, two kayaks, paddle boat and water mat, that the children loved. It was a great quiet week away, with lots of relaxation. We would recommend this cottage for others to rent.

Donald has everything you would want in a cottage rental for your family and some! We enjoyed the screened-in porch where we enjoyed all our meals, a kayak, canoes, and a paddle boat for water activities, a hot tub to relax, and an enclosed fire pit. He thought of life jackets for all ages, pots, pans, cutlery, and even spices, tea and coffee. We were very pleased with our stay.

Overall I would give 3.5 for this property. The place could use more cleaning and decluttering. However the host was very nice and accommodating for anything we needed. He helped us bring in our stuff. The gazebo off the kitchen is certainly a big plus, we were able to eat and hang out there even when in rainy days and we still had a nice view of the lake. There are tons of movies to watch and even a satellite dish was available downstairs. It was very quiet place to relax and reflect on. Thank you Donald we would go back another for sure.

Great but cluttered
The cottage itself was perfect Lots of bedrooms .the screened porch awesome. The property itself would look a lot better if was cleaned up. As you drive in the property does not present well with old rusted van and piles of stuff under tarps , but go Into The front door and forget what you just saw as the view of lake is great. The kitchen is not organized and there is too much stuff. The lake for little ones at beach area is fine however for the older ones there is “muck” from end of dock and being in a bay the water is shallow. The owner has done everything he can to compensate for this : swim doc, Lilly pad kayak canoe etc. The lake is large once you leave the bay the cottage is in.For us, we didn’t mind the bay as quiet and away from boat traffic and we go out on our tubes to float around. I recommend the owner do a deep clean of the inside , we rented for 4 weeks so I cleaned some windows and fridge to be more in keeping with my personal standard .. But the owner does not charge a cleaning fee and it is expected that previous renter leave it clean.Thus his rental price is fair. We have rented many cottages over the years and I give this one a 7/10 as the positives out weigh the negatives

No complaints about our stay here. Donald’s place has that cottage/ homey feel and is equipped with everything you need for your stay. It is so spacious and could comfortably sleep up to about 15 people if some are comfy on couches. Donald was super responsive and was open to us staying another night which was awesome. Thank you for opening your space to us and we hope to come again :)

Beyond FIVE STARS!
The cottage itself is located on the beautiful Sinclair Lake. While it was too cold to swim the serenity of the the lake and woods surrounding this cottage was spectacular. Donald, the host took time out of his schedule to meet us at another location to quide us to the cottage. Once there explained everything to us. It is quite large with 5 bedrooms. If you are looking for a "staged" magazine cottage this is not for you. If however you are looking for a home that feels lived in then this is it. What you will get are state of the art appliances, and every utensil you will need to cook your meals. Entertainment?? A collection of DVDS, BOOKS, along with a pool table in the basement. Something for everyone. My family and I were so comfortable we didnt want to leave. On that note although checkout is listed at 11 Donald was so gracious to invite us to stay for as long as we wished for that day. Truly a host beyond any other. If you are looking for a spot that feels like a home away from home in a wonderful location and a host that is respectful and easy to communicate with then look no further than this cottage in La Peche. I can't wait to go back!

We had a lovely stay at the cottage. The house is spacious, clean, well-equipped, and had plenty of room for our family of 5 + dogs. Really loved the kitchen / dining area; the dishwasher was a big help. It is very dog-friendly, and we appreciated the extra touches like the crate and toys. The beach , docks and the lily pad are great, and the water is clean, great for swimming and playing with the dogs. The screened veranda was a lovely touch, and we had bug-free, enjoyable evenings on it. The host, Donald, is friendly, welcoming and responsive. We really enjoyed our time at the cottage and highly recommend it!

Amazing, recommend to all!
Where to begin, this was one of the nicest most relaxing cottages we have had the pleasure of staying at. The cottage itself is extensive, with multiple rooms, a beautiful kitchen and a picture perfect screened in porch overlooking the water. There were many special touches inside the cottage be it decor multiple entertain options or beautiful plants that really showed how much Donald cares about his guests. The extended dock lily pad and beautiful water were everything we could have asked for and more. It was very quiet and private, just the loons and crickets as your backdrop Donald went out of his way to show us all the necessary information and procedures regarding household items and really made us feel welcome. This will be a new staple in vacation getaways for sure. Looking forward to returning in the winter and experiencing a winter wonderland.

Great place to relax
This property is for you if you’re looking for a quaint clean cottage to kick back and enjoy time by a lake! The lake is really clean and this property is a little off to the side so barely any motor véhicules which is very peaceful. The cottage itself has all the amenities you need and the kitchen is full of tools to prep nice meals if that’s your style. New TVs were added for rainy days ! We got to watch some playoff hockey at night was a bonus ;) The covered porch is the feature that sells this place. We spent most of our time in the evening there talking and enjoying the lake breeze! It’s such a great bonus to enjoy rainy days. I got back year after year for it ! It was our 4th visit to Donald’s cottage and you can tell that he takes pride in making it an enjoyable experience ! He keeps improving the amenities and it’s awesome .. over the years he’s added wifi TVs and this year a water lily pad where we spent lots of time on this summer ! I recommend this place to anyone looking to get away from the city .. it’s only 1h20 max from downtown Ottawa.. a great place for people of all ages ! Merci !
