Chalet Buckingham is a beautiful four-season home built on three acres of gorgeous waterfront property on the Ottawa river.

Just five minutes from the Quyon ferry and 45 minutes from downtown Ottawa, getting to the cottage is a picturesque drive through the Gatineau hills.

The cottage has 4 bedrooms - a master suite, two queen guest rooms, and a bunk room for the kids. Additional guests can use the pull-out sofa.

We also have small boats and water toys available during summer months.

The space
The house was fully renovated December 2018, and the interior space was designed by an interior decorator to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

There are two sitting areas both including a gas fireplace and 65" smart TV. The kids can play in the walk-out basement while you enjoy some time upstairs.

The cottage includes three bathrooms, one with an oversized soaker tub, and two with luxurious showers.

The chef's kitchen includes a professional gas range, stainless steel pots, sharp knives, and all of the spices and utensils you'll need to create your masterpiece.

If you stay for 6 nights or more, you'll receive a personalized welcome basket filled with local delicacies and items you can use during your stay.

Guest access
Guests have access to the entire two-storey 2800 sq ft cottage and the surrounding 3 acre property, including hundreds of feet of waterfront on the Ottawa river.

There are two outdoor fire pits, each with ample firewood, kindling, and Adirondack chairs.

The back lawn is nice and flat, and includes a hammock during warmer months. The front lawn slopes down toward the river.

There's a 12x16' deck by the water that's connected to the 48' floating dock. You can walk into the water on a gentle slope, or you can jump right in off the end of the dock. The bottom of the river near the dock is a mix of sand and mud, and is perfect for swimming. There are rocks and grasses further away from the dock on either side, but the swimming area is clear.

There's also a 17' inflatable water trampoline from May long weekend until early September.

Other things to note
