Rideau Lakes Cottage | Sun on the Brow Cottages - Sun Set Cottage

3 Bedroom Cottage in Rideau Lakes, Elgin

Welcome to “Sun on the Brow”. Situated on the border of two of Ontario’s great cottage regions South Frontenac and Rideau Lakes. Opinicon Lake is part of a series of lakes navigated by water travellers of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Rideau River/Canal System since the late eighteen hundreds. Davis Lock to the south draining into Sand lake and beyond towards Kingston, and northerly through Chaffey’s Lock into Clear Lake and towards Ottawa. “Sun on the Brow” is a beautiful setting of four cottages on a property total of 11.25 acres with over 750 feet of lakefront. The Cottages are set on a point of approximately 1.5 acres.
“Sunset Cottage” is a charming summer cottage. Newly renovated 2023. The Cottage has the best of both options. It has a big wrap around deck, with views of Bay Side of the property. A quiet place to watch the wildlife in the Bay. Your choice of a Hammock for two or two Muskoka chairs. Sun Set Cottage also comes with a Dock on Opinicon Lake. Either option is yours to enjoy. The cottage has A/C, Wifi, and Netflix. This cottage has two bedrooms, and a Sleeping Loft nestled into the original beams of the Cottage. The Prinamary bedroom has a Queen bed. The Second bedroom has two single beds. The Loft has a Single bed. Fresh linens are provided and the beds are made (after all, who wants to start a vacation making beds?). Sunset Co,ttage has a fully equipped clean and bright kitchen with a fridge, stove, microwave, and Coffeemaker (*coffee included*). The main room has a dining area and a cozy seating area to relax or watch the big screen.
Landscaped recently, the cottage now has a viewing area overlooking the bay, a hammock for relaxing, a BBQ as well as a Fire Pit with seating.
The cottage has its own dock on the Lake side of the property with Muskoka chairs for relaxing the day away.
We also have a Kayak Shack where you will find 7 Kayaks, 2 Paddle boards, a Paddle boat and a Canoe for the guests to enjoy (adult life jackets supplied).
‘Sun on the Brow’ also has a shared Boathouse retreat. This 900-square-foot common room has a pool table, table soccer, air hockey, games, puzzles, and books with a panoramic view over Lake Opinicon for those who want to curl up or get together and take in great views and family fun. The boathouse is great for rainy days, chilly nights, and storm watching.
Opinicon is a peaceful lake but amenities are all close by. Less than 5 minutes away is Chaffey’s lock. Here you will find 2 marinas, Brown’s and Franklin’s. Browns has a small general store and an LCBO/Beer store outlet.
The historic ‘Opinicon Inn’ is the main attraction in Chaffey’s Lock. Three restaurants with indoor and outdoor dining, an ice cream shop and 10 acres of beautiful grounds are the framework of this recently refurbished and renovated charming Inn**
For hikers, cyclists, and nature lovers, the ‘Catarqui Trail’ passes through Chaffey’s on the north side of Opinicon Lake. For more experienced hikers Foley Mountain in Westport offers a variety of trails with a range of difficulties.
Numerous golf courses are within 20 minutes to get your swing on!
Shopping and strolling in the lovely waterfront villages of Newboro and Westport are also less than 30 minutes away with stores and restaurants and even a wonderful winery that serves delicious wood-fired pizza!
There is plenty of room for your boat at ‘Sun on the Brow’ (If you have one- boat launching is available at both marinas in Chaffey’s lock). We also have 3 small fishing boats for rent (boat and fishing license required). The water is crystal clear and warm as Opinicon is not a very deep lake. Water shoes are recommended as the lake bottom is not sand, and is true to the Rideau Lakes reputation of being weedy.
It is our sincere hope that you will fall in love with this little piece of heaven as we have and that cottaging at ‘Sun on the Brow’ will leave you with a lasting experience that you will want to repeat year after year.
Sincerely
Your Hosts
Bill and Kim
