About 388 Cottage Road

Tucked along a quiet stretch of the Rideau River, this charming 3-season log and cedar cottage offers a peaceful escape just a short paddle from historic Merrickville. Built in 2017 and lovingly maintained since, the cottage blends rustic warmth with light, modern touches. Inside, you'll find beautiful engineered hardwood floors with live-edge inlays and a soaring ceiling that adds a sense of space and character. The relaxing sunroom provides great views of the water and fills the cottage with natural light. A wood stove installed in 2021 keeps things warm during the cooler seasons, allowing you to make the most of spring and autumn at the river. The 3-piece bathroom features a deep soaker tub that offers a perfect way to end your day spent in the fresh air and sunshine. With two bedrooms plus potential sleeping space in the bunkie/shed, there's plenty of room for family and guests. The bunkie even has hydro for extra comfort. This property has an artesian well with clean, high-quality water. An added bonus is that behind the cottage, you have Crown Land that provides privacy and a beautiful natural environment of mature trees and wildlife. This is a spot for lazy afternoons, canoe rides into town for coffee or ice cream, and bonfires under the stars. Whether you're fishing, swimming, or simply relaxing by the shore under the canopy of cedars, you will love the tranquility of this riverfront retreat. Private road, maintenance is approx $200/year for spring and fall grading. Just 10 minutes to Merrickville or Smiths Falls and 50 minutes to Ottawa.
