So cozy!
We loved our stay at the Rideau River Retreat. It was a great place to use as our home base for Ottawa tourism. We also enjoyed Kemptville itself. Meghan was a great hostess. She was easy to communicate with and very helpful. The handbook for the stay was one of the most complete I’ve seen and very helpful! I highly recommend this lovely spot!

Back to Family
This property was perfect for our needs. It was close to Ottawa where our Aunt was celebrating her 100th birthday and he was a spot where we could breath after an unexpected death of our family. The host was very accommodating to our needs. Enjoyed the kayak. To hot for the sauna but I’m sure would be nice in the shoulder season or winter. Loved the sunroom.

Wonderful Riverside Retreat
It was obvious that Meghan and her husband invested a lot of time and effort to create a relaxing and comfortable home for their guests. Great location within a half-hour drive to Ottawa, so we could experience the quiet comforts of country living and all of the benefits that the city had to offer. I would definitely recommend staying here and may return again some day

We stayed over the holidays and it was relaxing and extremely cozy. We were really grateful that the host even had a Christmas tree for us. That made it perfectly festive.

Amazing Stay
The property is in a quite, relaxing neighborhood, but still only a couple minutes away from grocery stores, cafes, restaurants, and more. This is place is great for people like me and my friends who wanted a nice getaway that feels enough like a cottage without going too far from civilization. Communication was always top notch and owner went above and beyond to make sure our stay went smoothly.
