Dani was an amazing host. She went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable. The home was private, rustic, exactly as advertised and met all our needs. Fun to be in an historic building. Do check out the soap shop the aromas and great handmade products will draw you in. Site was close to where we were visiting family so it worked out perfectly. So glad we could bring our dog sheâs family too.
Very nice and clean. Comfotable bed and well-appointed kitchen. My only issue is the steep stairs and bathroom not on same floor as bedroom (it is an old house afterall). If i were spry, it would be perfect! Hosts were great, very responsive. THANK YOU
Our stay here was very nice. Love the little soap shop she has here on the property. The trail pass was excellent bonus. Would recommend this place to others
Such a cute little place. Perfect for our getaway and trip down memory lane (Rideau Waterway). We had everything we needed and enjoyed our stay immensely!
Dani and Paul were very accommodating and friendly!
We really enjoyed our time at the Lockmasterâs cottage. Cute space with enough kitchen tools to prepare simple meals. Located on a main road so easy to find and to go on day-trips. Would stay again!
The Lockmasters House was the perfect spot for a little getaway in cottage country. We enjoyed the history of the place, explored Newboro and the area, watched boats go through the locks. And Westport is just down the road - great spot for breakfast! We'll be back!
We enjoyed our stay tremendously. The hosts, Dani and Paul, we very accessible, the house is very comfortable and there are a lot of things to see and do. We highly recommend it!
The house was cozy and comfortable and spotlessly clean. The bed was super comfy also. We enjoyed chatting with Dani. She was so friendly and a great host. The little soap shop down below is so cuteand their products are amazing. Would definitely stay here again.
Weâve stayed here twice now & would absolutely stay again. Dani & Paul are gracious hosts. The Lockmasters house is so quaint & cozy. The area is beautiful as well!
You must get some handmade soaps from Dani!!!
Easy access to the cottage from the main road. Perfect size one bedroom for a couple. Great deck to relax on. It was special to stay in a historical building with modern upgrades (A/C, shower, new windows, etc). Would love to visit again. Owners are helpful and easy to communicate with. Beautiful area with so much to explore.
Our stay at Dani and Paulâs Lockmaster House was excellent. Communication and booking processes were seamless and the property is located in the quaint town of Newboro close to all the local attractions and waterfront activities of the Rideau Lakes system. The home is very quaint and we loved the historical charm of the property. While located near a fairly busy road, there were no issues with road noise and evenings were delightful sitting on the deck watching the fireflies with the rustling of the wind in the nearby trees. The home also smells absolutely amazing from the wonderful soap shop located on the ground floor below. The property is well-maintained and has all the necessary amenities. Both Dani and Paul were wonderful hosts and provided us with a great experience. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a very nice and affordable property close to all the outdoor activities nearby. We would love to come back!
This property was a perfect place for me to stay in the Rideau Lakes. Only 10 minutes from Portland and easy drives to other cottage and fishing hot spots. Great location in the sleepy town of Newboro which has easy access to restaurants, hikes and local shops including Daniâs own handmade soaps below the Lockmaster house. I highly recommend this accommodation for its excellent location, many amenities, and super-friendly and helpful hosts.
I would definitely stay here again.
