Beautiful Westport 3 Bedroom Waterfront Cottage

Relax with your family at this peaceful place on Upper Rideau Lake with panoramic views of the sunset and the village of Westport. Fully renovated and ready to enjoy! We include the use of kayaks, a canoe, and pedal boat for our guests to explore the lake. This beautiful three-bedroom cottage is one of four cottages in a family grouping which share over 200' of shore on the historic Rideau Canal system. Only 5 minutes from beautiful Westport Ontario. You will love everything about your stay. The space We have always loved the cottage lifestyle and cottage country, particularly the village of Westport. As our kids grew-up at the lake we realized we wanted to be able to continue to share cottaging when they had families of their own. This dream led us to find the Happy Place Cottages and start a multi-year renovation of 4 individual cottages which share two lakefront properties. Our cottage on Upper Rideau Lake is a great place to disconnect and relax. There is a beautiful spot for a fire right at the lakeside, and areas to relax inside and out. This property has been completely renovated from top to bottom in 2020-2023. We love this 3-bedroom cottage (named the Dragonfly which features: Full kitchen with dishwasher Full bathroom with tub/shower The living room with large windows overlooking the lake Two bedrooms have queen sized beds The third bedroom has a custom built bed set-up with a double bed and set of single bunkbeds. As beautiful as the inside of the cottage is, it is outdoors that you will want to spend all your time! Our large lot with a gentle slope to the lake gives room to play or relax. Swim, kayak or boat from the dock. Enjoy a campfire right down at the lake. We are located just 50m from a public boat launch at Forresters Landing Drive which is handy for those who plan to bring a boat. We provide a flotilla of 10 kayaks, a canoe and a paddleboat to give all our guests a chance to explore the lake. The waterfront is clean and swimmable. Diving is not permitted off the docks as it is approximately 4 feet deep off the end, but the water is clear and the bottom is a sand/rock mix. The entry is fairly flat, but the shoreline has stones to protect against erosion so you need to step down a little into the water, or enter off the dock steps. Upper Rideau lake provides great fishing throughout the lake, or take a trip through one of the locks at either end of the lake to check out the Rideau System! Keep an eye out for the bald eagle that lives on the island just across from the cottages, watch the loons and other wildlife. Please note: You are required to bring all your blankets, pillows, sheets, towels, and dish cloths for your stay. Our cottage is on a quiet lane, and not suitable for groups intending to party or host loud gatherings. Our neighbours are kind and courteous, and we request that our guests are the same. Guest access This cottage, named the Dragonfly, is one of four in our family grouping of cottages. Our original plan was to always rent the cottages as a group to allow families to use them all together as we dream of for our family. During the summer guests book the entire property but in the spring and fall we are focusing on being able to host individual families for a quiet stay at the lake. You may see our other listings for the group - please note no more than two of the cottages would be rented at any one time during the spring/fall. Since the property has over 200 feet of waterfront guests should have ample space to themselves. Each cottage has it's own picnic table and firepit with chairs to enjoy the great outdoors. Additionally, we have two docks on the property so each group has one to use and we provide a total of ten kayaks (plus lots of paddles and life jackets) on the property so both groups will have easy access to the lake. Other things to note During the spring and fall our family uses the smaller Angler cottage at the front corner of the property, unfortunately our schedule doesn't often allow us to enjoy the amazing spring and fall seasons at the lake but rest assured if we are not in the Angler we are only a call away if you need anything.
