The Lakehouse Hideaway is our home-away-from home and we love it here. At present, we are not renting out our property because of the health risks of Covid-19. We are going to maintain our page as a way to continue to share the love of our Lakehouse, our hobbies and interests and invite you to join in with us in this manner until such time as we are comfortable opening up for rentals again.

An hour from downtown Ottawa, The Lakehouse Hideaway is a luxury four-season vacation getaway for the whole family. Situated on 17.5 acres on the shores of Neil Lake, you will find everything you could wish for whether you want to just escape the city rat-race and relax, reconnect with nature, spend an active week with family, or explore a new area of our great land.
Wake up to the sound of song birds, have your breakfast on the deck watching the mist drift over the lake, hike the trails, kayak around the lake, canoe out and jump off the swim platform, splash in the pool, relax in the hot tub, throw something delicious on the BBQ, and come together around the fire at night while you hear the owls calling to each other. On rainy days, grab some cards, a board game, some puzzles or curl up with a good book or a movie. Send the kids to the bunkie for a sleep out! What an adventure they'll have!
Onsite activities will keep you busy year round. In the summer months, enjoy swimming from our swim dock, kayaking (we have two single-person kayaks), canoeing (seats two to three), hiking or bike riding on our trails (bring your own bikes), or taking a dip in our above-ground pool. Anyone in the family will enjoy spending some time in the Bunkie (there is a sleep loft for napping or reading), and also makes a great hang-out for the teenagers! During the Fall, take a hike and witness the breathtaking beauty of the changing colours. In the winter months, pull out your snowshoes and cross country skis and explore the more than 2 km of trails on the property, take a run down one of the tobogganing hills, or play some shinny hockey on the rink once the lake has frozen over. Year round luxury is right on your doorstep with our hot tub.
The Lakehouse Hideaway is 20 minutes to Mont Ste. Marie and its golf course and ski hill. Horse-back riding, dog-sledding, a variety of restaurants, artisans’s workshops and many other activities and points of interest are close at hand.
