Family-friendly vacation rentals in Kanata

Nice place to stay. Would stay here again if in the area.

Great cottage on a beautiful lake. Our favourite was the terrific view of the lake from the hot tub!

My family all enjoyed their stay at this homey cottage. Loved the close proximity to the river. The back yard, being fully fenced, was great for our dog. We enjoyed a nice fire in the fire pit outside in the evening. The kitchen & bathroom were clean & fully stocked with everything we needed. The neighbour’s were very friendly, the hot tub was relaxing & Pierre was very quick to respond to my questions.

Great location - walking distance to vorlage, shops, cafes. Very cosy and lovely views of the Forest. Lucie is a very friendly and attentive host. Thanks for having us 😊

We had an exceptional stay at Trevor's bungalow! Perfectly designed for our family of four, it was both spacious and cozy. The location was ideal—conveniently close to local shopping, attractions and a short drive to beautiful Gatineau Park. The house was impeccably clean and beautifully furnished, making us feel right at home. We especially appreciated the well-equipped kitchen, which made meal prep easy, and the comfy living area where we relaxed after our day trips, summer work experience, and camps. The backyard deck was a fantastic spot for us to BBQ and unwind in the evenings. Trevor was incredibly welcoming and quick to respond to any minor issues. Overall, this bungalow offered a perfect blend of comfort and convenience, making our summer visit truly memorable. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore Canada's capital while enjoying a homey retreat!

A beautiful space with lovely amenities in the heart of Wakefield. We will continue to return!

I had an amazing stay at this charming chalet—clean, cozy, and equipped with everything needed for a relaxing getaway. The hot tub and peaceful location were perfect, and it was still conveniently close to hiking trails and ski hills. The host was responsive and check-in was seamless—I highly recommend this place and can’t wait to return!

Emily’s house was a dream and is highly recommended. Our family of 5 (with 3 kids under 10) spent a week at Emily’s house while in Ottawa to help out a family member. We were so grateful for Emily’s hospitality. As we were there during yet another wave of the pandemic, coupled with virtual school, we were basically in lockdown at the house - it could have been a very unpleasant week. Instead, it was truly wonderful to have Emily’s beautiful home to feel grounded in. The house was clean, comfortable, exactly as represented in the pictures, and we were struck by the attention to detail. The communication with Emily was perfect. After a week in the house, we joked about staying a week longer! There is no doubt that we will return.

Josseline was a great host, keeping me informed of snow clearing plans during a blizzard and offering assistance if required, without being in any way intrusive. Her AirBnB was lovely and bright, private and convenient. The entire place was clean and comfortable and is a perfect size for one or two to relax or work in.

Perfect little spot that was super walkable: 25 minute walk from Carleton, 20 minute walk to the grocery store, river walk right out the door, and many shops, cafes, and restaurants close walkable as well. Quick to get a Lyft to the airport. Loved the bathtub.

We had a wonderful stay. Very quiet neighbourhood. Great location and the rental was spotless and had everything needed for a perfect stay. We would stay here again without any hesitation.

Patrick’s home was a perfect space for my family and I during a week long stay in Ottawa. It was in a quiet but great central location, right across from the experimental farm and close to anything we needed. The home itself was stunning, thoughtfully designed and perfect for a family to stay with everything we could need. I would absolutely recommend for anyone looking for a place to stay in the area and I would stay again in a heartbeat.

James has a great space for visiting Ottawa. It’s comfortably furnished and well eqipped. We had never used a murph bed and I was wondering how it would work but it was fabulous and simple. I highly recommend this spot and we will definitely use it again. Janet

What a great place to stay, nice location on the water. Not a modern house, but the comfort and location make up for it. There was a musty smell, not sure if it was the moisture (its been so rainy) residual smoking smell or pets. The house was very clean otherwise. Natasha is very responsive with any questions and provided a binder with things to do and information on the area. Location is great for us, we are planning to stay next time in the area. Very convenient with travels with our dog. Easy check in and Out, good sleeps, recommend.

This is an amazing place to stay. Peaceful and comfortable—makes you feel at home. Walkable to Whole Foods Kettleman’s Bagels and many other lovely spots in the Glebe neighborhood. A real gem!

Had a great time! Felt at home. Great ski hill close-by

Highlights of the stay were a really great backyard with pool and hot tub. Beds were comfortable and place was very well equipped. Host was accommodating and responsive.

The house was exactly what we needed for our trip to the Ottawa area—exactly as depicted in the description! My partner arrived before I did, and Anne was very responsive, answering his questions as I was still driving to the house. We also appreciated that someone came to clear even more space in the parking area while we were there. Would highly recommend for anyone who needs a place to stay with their dogs.

This was the perfect addition to my wedding weekend! Julie made it extra special with a welcome sign and bottle of champagne to great my guests and I! The place is absolutely stunning, so warm, cozy and just what we needed for a wedding stay with the bridal party. It surpassed my expectations and Julie and her partner were wonderful - we even had a tour and learned some history on the place. Can’t wait to come back !

A great property. A very responsive host.

Anne’s place was a great spot to stay while we visited family in the area! It was private and quiet and the surroundings were so peaceful! We’ll definitely be back!

We had such a great time staying at Anne’s place in Kemptville. The house was super comfortable and fully furnished—everything we needed was there. I really appreciated how there were clear instructions for how to use everything, which made things easy and stress-free. One of the highlights for us was the space to roam—especially with our dog. It was great to have the yard to play in, and we were even told we could use the farmer’s field out back to take him for a walk, which was such a nice bonus. Anne herself was amazing—so friendly, accommodating, and genuinely kind. She gave us great local recommendations and was super approachable throughout our stay. Overall, everything was to our liking, and we would definitely recommend her place to others. Thanks again, Anne!

Great place! 4 adults, 3 children. We skied at Camp Fortune 3 days and visited a museum on the fourth. Pictures describe the place very well. Kids played in the huge backyard. We also went for a 2 hour walk on a trail nearby. It’s a house with character, and can be a bit draughty in some places, and also is unevenly heated. That was our only issue. Nice showers and bathrooms. Comfy beds. Good lighting. Kitchen is well-stocked and spacious. Mud room large and convenient. We would definitely return. Thank you!

I had a real crush on Chantal's place. Everything was spotless: clean, comfortable, well appointed, and with a warm atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. But what makes this stay really unique is Chantal herself. A host of great generosity, authentic and welcoming, with whom I had very nice conversations. She takes care of every detail and it shows — both in space and in the way she receives. I leave refreshed, inspired... and with the sure desire to come back! Thank you Chantal for your exceptional hospitality.
