Country charm and peaceful workspace with loads of lakes and recreation.

Description

We are retired teachers, our son is a professor in Toronto about 3 hours away...We have chosen to retire in the beautiful Rideau Lakes area of Ontario, an hour from Canada's capital city, Ottawa... We hike, swim, kayak nearby and also bike on our country road. These activities can be facilitated for visitors to our home...The nearby Rideau Canal is an UNESCO world site with so much to see. Whether in the summer or fall, this compact but efficient house is a beautiful spot to be. With Kingston less than an hour away and the city of Smith Falls only 10 minutes away, alot of amenities are available. The historic and pretty town of Perth, 20 minutes away, is also a charming spot....Other numerous historic towns and hamlets along the Rideau Canal await exploration. We are also only an hour away from Gannanoque and the 1000 Islands and a border crossing to upstate New York. Whether rental staying in our home or an exchange, we are respectful and reasonable folks.. We also own an additional home, (a summer cottage) that allows us flexibility as to when we exchange or rent our listed property here. With another option of where we can live in the warmer months, we can be fairly flexible within our established 4 month time frame to rent this property out or exchange. Normally 2 mid size dogs live with us, but they will be with us at our cottage or with others for the summer. The house will be well cleaned before potential visitors, but I just wanted to let anyone with potential allergies know that dogs live in the house in the winter and fall months. My husband and I look forward to adding a house exchange or rental to our life experiences. And to possibly find a match in Britain to enable us to spend time with our toddler grandson and his parents who live there.
