Summary: Our stay at Dani and Paul’s 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!

Summary: 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 she’s family too.

Summary: We had a lovely weekend away at Dani and Paul’s place. The bed was very comfortable and the house was outfitted in a charming way. We also had a nice visit with Dani downstairs in the shop and purchased some nice soaps! A notepad/book with info like the wifi password would be helpful for guests as we had to call and leave a voicemail for that info. Some things added to the kitchen (eg. flat baking sheet) would also be helpful, and there was no dish soap provided. Overall we had a great time and the price was unbeatable!

Summary: 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 Dani’s 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. Scott

Summary: 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.

Summary: It was a pleasure of having had the opportunity to stay in the historical Lockmaster’s House! From the moment we walked through the door, we were greeted with exceptional hospitality, a mesmerizing aroma from the soap shop located downstairs, mixed with the cottagy scent of cedar, and a cozy atmosphere. Dani was very helpful and informative. We enjoyed the location as it was close to the towns we planned on visiting. We will definitely be coming back!

Kim H. Aug 25, 2023 11:01:51 PM

Summary: 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!
