Waterfront Cottage, Wi-Fi | Netflix | Dog Friendly

Welcome to the Misi-Ziibi River House, located by the peaceful Mississippi River. Whether you’re here for a romantic retreat or family getaway, it’s the perfect spot to relax. Just 12 minutes from Carleton Place and Perth, and under 45 minutes from Ottawa, this charming two-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage is a cozy retreat. Misi-Ziibi means “great river” in the Anishinaabe language. About the House: Originally built in the 1950s and updated over time, the Misi-Ziibi River House sits on a riverside lot with plenty of space to enjoy the natural beauty of the area. The water is the main attraction, whether you’re lounging in the rapids, wading in shallow waters, or enjoying a riverside campfire. Outdoor Fun: There’s a large front yard perfect for sports or letting your dog run around. The firepit by the river is ideal for evenings with a drink and marshmallows. Kayakers, paddleboarders, and canoeists can explore nearby Ferguson Falls or Mississippi Lake. Inside the House: The front porch is great for morning coffee, and the kitchen is equipped for all your vacation needs. There’s no dishwasher, but you’ll love watching birds from the sink. The bathroom has a tub/shower, and the bedrooms come with new mattresses and plenty of storage. Workspace: A small desk with a USB lamp offers a peaceful place to work while enjoying a river view. Things to Do Nearby: Law and Orders: A 10-minute walk with great food. Adventure Park: Just 4 minutes by car for activities like axe throwing and laser tag. Wheeler’s Pancake House: A 32-minute drive for a fun breakfast and nature trails. Ottawa: Just 45 minutes away for museums, the Rideau Canal, and more. Other Details: Please use water wisely as the cottage has a septic system. Quiet hours are 10 PM-7 AM on weekdays and 11 PM-8 AM on weekends. Speed limit on the road is 15 km/h. Pets are allowed with prior approval and a $25 charge per stay. Mother Nature: Expect wildlife, insects, and seasonal changes. Mosquitoes are common in summer, so bring repellent. Note: There’s a security camera at the entryway. You can contact the host at any time for assistance. Enjoy your stay!

Excellent communication from the host. Absolutely stunning view, we LOVED falling asleep to the sound of the river every night. Cottage was clean, well organized and had everything we needed and more. Definitely felt like a "home away from home". We look forward to our next booking.

Lovely cottage
Super peaceful cottage on the river. Loved seeing the great blue heron every morning and evening. My pup, Kaia, felt very comfortable here too and loved the hospitality shown to her from Jack. Would recommend and would love to stay again sometime!

Idyllic Riverfront Cottage
The cottage was fantastic - we had everything we needed for a Thanksgiving weekend (except great weather, lol, but it wasn't too bad). Beds were comfy, the place was super clean and the view out the large front windows was spectacular. We were visited daily by a giant great blue heron - my totem animal! No complaints whatsoever. Would love to go back in the spring.

Lovely
This is a lovely place to come to for relaxation. Perfectly situated to explore the surrounding area. It is roomy, comfortable and excellently equipped with everything you need for your stay. Being pet friendly is an added bonus. I would suggest that the checkin email be sent out a couple of days ahead of the renter’s stay, especially when people are travelling a distance to get there. Stayed September 2024.
