Summary: This is our second summer stay at Fernbrae, but we have been sharing annual holidays for over four decades. Fernbrae is not only central for our travels, but it offers the perfect mix of private accommodations and resort amenities along the historic Rideau Canal. We will be back!

Summary: We had a nice little getaway with my elderly parents and sister’s family. The downstairs bedroom was perfect for our needs. We thoroughly enjoyed the cottage as it was nestled in it’s own little piece of heaven. Thanks for the lovely setting for making some family memories.

Summary: We spent 3 nights at Fernbrae, traveling the Rideau during the day. The home is old but lovely, and decorated with care. We were pleased with both the location and the accommodation.

Summary: My husband and I stayed at the Fernbrae Retreat for a last minute fishing trip! He was hesitant because it didn’t have a dock but we managed to rent a slip at Browns Marina and we had the best of both worlds! Kim and Bill were perfect hosts! Communication was prompt and clear. The cottage was a dream! Everything we could ever want or need was there. The location was perfect! We loved to sit by the fire at night listening to the sound of the rushing water nearby! And the neighbors were lovely and incredibly welcoming! We felt right at home! We will be back! Thank you Kim and Bill for a fantastic getaway!

Summary: We had a family reunion to celebrate my parents’ 70th anniversary. Fernbrae was perfect! The location: Nice walking (e.g., the Cataraqui Trail, very close by) for my sisters and I, while my parents enjoyed strolling down to watch activity at the locks. We had their anniversary dinner at the Opinicon Hotel across the locks - thumbs up there, it’s been fixed up beautifully. The house: nicely furnished, the kitchen very well equipped, beautiful patio area. Fit our needs to a tee! Kim was a pleasure to deal with, and she and Bill nicely stopped by to introduce themselves and congratulate my parents. This one is 5 stars all round!

Summary: Beautiful property, stocked with all essentials. Friendly hosts. Would've loved all bedrooms to be air conditioned. Was a very warm week. Hand rails on back steps would've been great too. Still a wonderful home!
