About the Place

Welcome to Otters’ Holt!
Nestled among maples on a tree-filled hillside, this newly renovated cottage with stunning lake views. Relax with a book in the dappled shade on the wrap-around deck, or bask in the sun on the dockside platform. Play cottage games or have fun in the water on the oversized float mat, canoe, kayak or standup paddleboard. Create unforgettable memories as you paddle or fish on the quiet lake, watch the herons fly by, listen to the loons or spot an otter or two!
Our pet-friendly cottage is just 10 minutes from the town of Smiths Falls with all its conveniences and Rideau Ferry’s restaurant and ice cream, or 20 minutes from historic, quaint towns of Perth and Westport. Hike or bike the nearby trails, golf, take in a movie at the Port Elmsley drive-in theatre, or go antiquing. End each day by toasting marshmallows at the firepit, soaking in the spectacular sunsets over the water, and some star gazing. Come and enjoy the peace and serenity of this cosy retreat, and leave feeling rejuvenated and connected to nature.

This cosy cottage features an open concept with dining, modern kitchen and living areas looking out to the lake, 2 bedrooms and newly renovated bathroom. Best suited for families with school age kids or older, or couples/friends who are sharing. A bonus room on the lower floor provides an extra bunkbed and ‘game room’, or you can chill in the swinging chair or hot tub. Furry friends welcome! Hillside steps down to the lake may not be suited to very small children or those with mobility issues. Equipped with a canoe, kayak, inflatable double kayak, and inflatable stand up paddleboard. A selection of lifejackets, towels and water shoes are provided, but feel free to bring your own to ensure proper sizing.
