Xanadu - Zen waterfront retreat on Upper Rideau

Summary:
This glorious escape on the Upper Rideau is quiet, relaxing, and incredibly private located back from the water and surrounded by woods. Venture down to the dock to swim, lounge, or watch boats go by. Dogs are welcome but should be leashed by dusk to avoid meeting skunks or porcupines who frequent the area.

The Space:
Shoot a game of pool, watch Netflix on our 65" flat screen TV, or unwind in the hot tub while the crickets serenade you. Walk along our natural rock wall, which was painstakingly revealed after a year of hard work by the previous owners. A variety of colourful birdhouses and extensive gardens complete the beauty of the backyard space.

6 can sleep comfortably in 2 king beds and 1 queen bed. Two full bathrooms (one with stand up shower and one with soaker tub) for ease of getting ready or showering off after a lake dip.

Beautiful property
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Morning or afternoon, there is a lovely shaded place to sit and relax. The deer that roam through the property in the morning and evening were very entertaining. The kids loved the pool table. The lake front is clean and clear, great to swim off the dock. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. The hosts responded quickly to our questions and were very helpful in ensuring we had a great stay. It was one of our best cottage vacations.

Family Friendly
Our family of 5 adults and an infant thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely property. There are many options to choose from to either just relax or be entertained with yard games, the hot tub, the lake and the beautiful gardens. We hope to return again!

Wonderful
Had a wonderful week at Xanadu with my husband and our little dog Skye. Perfect house with everything you could wish for for a relaxing getaway. The lake is beautiful and the friendly deer that visited each day was a real treat, there were also beautiful birds daily at all the bird feeders around the grounds. Westport itself has some lovely gift shops and restaurants. Booking was made very easy and any questions answered immediately and great experience all round.

Everything we could have wanted
We were delighted with our experience at Xanadu! From the beautiful location, lovely comfortable home with such a welcoming feeling! It was obvious this is a well cared for home and all the attention to details was impressive… we also appreciated the extras everywhere, from treats to firewood and bathrobes!!! It was wonderful Would definitely recommend this location!

Great place with two things to improve on
Overall your getting exactly what is being advertised. Its an unbelievable piece of property. Two items that we think should be addressed, there's a semi-public boat launch right next to the private dock and we weren't made aware so you will have people driving through the property and launching their boats... all day while your trying to chill. Also they are still using the wire brush type cleaners for the BBQ which these days is a big no-no.

Great time
The property was amazing. The area was so quiet and re;axing did not want to leave. The hot tub at night looking up at the stars was priceless. And to top it off the fishing was almost non stop.

My first rental experience
This was my first time ever renting a property. The entire renting process was seamless from beginning to end. A+ to vrbo and breathe vacation rentals! The idea was to get a “cottage” not too far from Ottawa (home). This property is not a cottage but a beautiful home! I was so pleasantly surprised by how perfect everything was. The hosts supplied everything even stocking the kitchen with milk and cream and some staples in the pantry. They were wonderful to deal with and I would highly recommend this property to anyone considering a getaway to a beautiful lake property! I wouldn’t hesitate to use vrbo and breathe vacation rentals again. I found what I was looking for and so much more!

This cabin is picture perfect and beyond cozy!
This cabin has everything… we have never stayed in a better appointed cabin. Food to feed the deer, blankets by the fire, hot cocoa, wine and everything in between. It was so clean and had everything we needed. The jacuzzi was amazing, the view is great, the cabin was warm and inviting.
