About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire house boat to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Unique houseboat rental with private dock and land on the historic Rideau River.

Enjoy this spacious houseboat by leaving it at the dock and treating it as your cottage and play on the nearly half-acre property. Have a campfire. Play frisbee. Try the kayak and paddle-board. Swim at the public beach directly across the river. Take a short drive to any number of beautiful small towns nearby, like historic Merrickville or Manotick or Kemptville. It's only 30 minutes to downtown Ottawa and the Parliament buildings, too.
OR, take the houseboat for a cruise if you have a Pleasure Craft Operator's Card, which is easy to obtain if you don't have one already. Cruise for as little as $300/day off-season! There is no better way to see the region than from this UNESCO World Heritage waterway! See the historic Rideau Canal, and go through the still-hand-operated locks like it was 1850! There is no end to the possibilities!
This property is friendly to pets under 50 pounds, with a maximum of two pets. A pet fee of $50 per stay applies.
A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator and a stovetop. The bathroom has a shower.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.
