Sleeps twelve · Four seasons · Dogs welcome
The Wolf Denon White Lake
Five bedrooms, a wood stove, a dock with a ladder and four kayaks in the shed. An hour west of Ottawa, twenty minutes past Arnprior, and a good deal quieter than either.

The water
Right on the lake, not near it
The lawn runs flat from the cottage door to the shoreline — no stairs, no scramble. There are two ways in: a shallow, soft-bottomed walk-in beside the fire pit for small children, and about eight feet of water off the dock with a ladder for everyone else.
Four kayaks live in the lakeside shed. The fishing is good year-round — bass, pike and walleye, straight off the dock, and ice fishing in winter. If you are bringing a boat, the public launch at Cedar Cove is ten minutes around the lake or about one minute across it.

A note on winter. In winter only the main cottage is available — three bedrooms, not five. The bunkie is closed for the season, and the driveway is plowed only as far as the garage.

“Beautiful area and gorgeous lake with sunset views and clear water.”
Arielle · Ottawa, Canada · July 2026
“The weather was very cold during our stay so we got to use the wood stove that made the cottage nice and toasty.”
Ronalee · Ottawa, Canada · May 2025
“This place felt like a home away from home. Our dogs loved it so much that my 8yr old Shepherd actually learned how to swim!”

Before you ask
The questions we get most
›Are linens and towels included?
Towels are — bath towels, hand towels, face cloths, kitchen towels and dish cloths are all provided, so you do not need to pack any. Bed linens are not included by default: the cottage runs on a private well and septic system, and laundering seven beds of bedding every turnover is more than they can comfortably take. Every bed has a clean mattress protector and pillows are provided, so you are welcome to bring your own bedding. If you would rather not pack it, we will make up any bed for $15 — fitted sheet, duvet, duvet cover and pillow covers. All seven beds is $105. Just let us know how many beds at least 48 hours before you arrive.
›How many dogs can we bring?
Dogs are genuinely welcome — we keep leashes, bowls and a dog bed on site. If you are bringing more than a couple, just ask; we are almost always happy to say yes to well-behaved dogs. We ask that you clean up after them, trim their nails so they do not mark the floors, do not leave a chewer unattended, and set leashes clear of the garden solar lights. Our neighbours have a dog, so if yours would bolt over to say hello, please keep it leashed.
›Is the water safe to drink?
Yes. The Wolf Den is on a private well and the water is tested and safe to drink straight from the tap. There is also a water cooler in the cottage if you prefer it cold — bring a 15L disposable or 18L reusable jug, as we do not stock them.
›Is there somewhere shallow for little kids to swim?
There are two places to get in. To the right of the fire pit is a shallow, soft-bottomed walk-in — that is the one for little kids and non-swimmers. Off the dock the water is deeper, around eight feet, with a ladder and a rockier bottom, so water shoes are a good idea there. Honestly: the shallow side can get weedy in mid-summer. There is no lifeguard, and children must be supervised at the water.
No surprises
Things we would rather you knew now
A cottage that sleeps twelve has trade-offs. Here are ours, up front, so nobody arrives disappointed.
- One bathroom for twelve guests.
- The bunkie is closed in winter — three bedrooms, not five.
- The final hill down to the cottage is steep. In winter it is plowed only to the garage.
- Bed linens are not included by default.
- There is no dishwasher.
- The cottage is on a septic system — nothing but toilet paper down the toilet.
- The shallow swim area gets weedy in high summer.
- There is no lifeguard. Children must be supervised at the water.
- Neighbours live here full time, so quiet hours are real.
- The garage is off limits.
