Best cottage get away!
Family of 8 (5 adults and 2 children) stayed for a week and we definitely wish we booked for a much longer stay! The cottage was very clean, cozy and fit us all perfectly. The week we stayed was VERY hot/humid but we were thankful Astrid and Sheldon had fans in each room. We enjoyed all the water toys that were provided. We wished we had better luck with fishing but theres always next time ;) The sunsets were AMAZING every single night and the camp fire by the water was a nice touch! If we had any questions Astrid was always very helpful. We are very grateful we got a chance to stay at a cottage that could accommodate all of us. Thank you Astrid and Sheldon!!

Four Glorious Days on Rice Lake
My husband and I had a glorious getaway in Roseneath while our home was under renovation. We had a 2 1/2 hour drive from Dundas to Roseneath, and loved the cottage on Rice Lake. Full sun from 1:00 p.m. to sunset, the boat house deck was lovely, we sat most of the day outside, my husband fished, I kayaked, and we BBQ’d in the late day sun. Sunsets were outstanding. The cottage was cute and evident that a thorough renovation was recently completed. Astrid was a pleasure to deal with, and stayed in touch with us throughout out the booking process, until we arrived at the cottage. I would recommend this cottage to any couple or family to come up and see what Rice Lake has to offer.

About the host

Hosted by Astrid.

Host profile image
We love Rice Lake and we know you will too.

Why they chose this property

Only the best sunsets from this west-facing property. Our cottage was fully renovated inside and out on the HGTV show "Income Property on Vacation" with Scott McGillivray. Since the show, we have added a new dock and new patio furniture, as well as all the water toys (canoe, kayak, stand-up paddle board and paddle boat).

What makes this property unique

Only 1.5 hours east of the CN Tower. With quick commute options like Taunton Road, 401 and 407, you will be hanging on the deck in no time rather than sitting in traffic. Rice Lake boasts the best fishing in all of Ontario. You can catch walleye and bass right off our dock.
