You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Just a fishing cabin in the woods...
But it is on a quiet point on beautiful Big Rideau Lake, part of the historic Rideau Canal system, where the fishing runs 24/7! Insulated, cozy, lots of space for kids to play. Dock space for one boat, and a canoe included. This is a paddler's paradise, and a true nature-lover's getaway. Two bedrooms, bathroom with tub. On a quiet cottage road 5 minutes to Portland, and just an hour's drive to Kingston or Ottawa. Pet friendly.

Our family had a wonderful vacation. The cabin has everything you need and was very cozy. Also great fishing on the lake and lots of places to visit nearby will be back again. Thanks Liz and Jane for a great stay.
Quiet cabin by the lake. Everything you need is present in the cabin! Clean beds, pots and pans,more than enough towels, games, wood for the fireplace, a big frisse etc etc. We had a very pleasant stay.
This is an outstanding cottage rental. A beautiful property that has everything one might want (and many things I did not know I needed but really appreciated). The owners were super quick to respond and extremely friendly. I highly recommend this place!!!
We enjoyed our 4 days there . We were able to catch edible size fish off the dock and just to sit and watch all the wildlife happening was great . Cooked over a open firepit all week . Great experience we had thank you for letting us enjoy your cabin in the woods
Great little cabin to escape to for the weekend. Enjoyed our stay. We had everything we needed plus a cozy wood stove for the chilly spring nights. Thank you!
This was our third year visiting this lovely cabin with all the needed modern necessities. Always clean and welcoming, our get away was peaceful, and hassle free. Loved having a canoe to use and a well stocked kitchen for the best meals. We will return.
Was nice, but the weather was not, and sorry the table cloth got a burn hole in it, I will pay for it, thank you I would go back but in nice weather..ken
We had a great time staying at this cozy fishing cottage, the kids both caught fish for the first time, some of which were big enough to fry over the outdoor fire and eat! Great spot for kids to fish off the dock, the fish were very active. There was plenty of firewood and the house was well stocked with pots and pans etc. There are loons, turtles, otters and other friendly creatures, a real nature spot. Highly recommend for the serenity and a very comfortable cottage. We will absolutely consider staying here again. While swimming isn't on the cards off the dock because of the nature of those wetlands, there is a great little swimming beach in town a few minutes drive from the cottage, a great plus which the kids enjoyed a lot.
This is the second time I stayed at Moorehaven.Its a beautiful spot right on the water.The cabin is very well equipped and is private.Its a simple little slice of paradise.
This adorable cabin was in a beautiful spot surrounded by nature and quite. It had everything we needed. Elizabeth and Jane were very welcoming and responsive.
We will definitely come back next year!
We had a very pleasant time at Moore haven. Liz is a great host, very caring. The place is so charming and is particularly well equipped. We will come back ⚡️
We had a lovely time and the cabin has everything that one needs. The only thing we missed were some fishing rods. But besides that we enjoyed sitting on the dock, canoeing , sitting around the camp fire and being surrounded by nature. Thank you for this amazing experience, Jane and Elizabeth.
A comfortable and cozy cottage. Lots of light in the interior and the back deck is more spacious then you might expected from photos. Well appointed kitchen and nice new BBQ.
Great area for exploring, especially if you like history and the outdoors.
We were so very impressed by everything, from the cleanliness of the cottage, to its location! It was so peaceful and we loved the choices of seating, as we had different views depending on where we positioned the chairs. (Water, deck, backyard). We will definitely be back next year!
