13 B5a Road, Rideau Lakes, ON K0G 1L0

If your favorite memories involve wet footprints on the deck, late-night board games by the fire, and waking up to dead-calm water, this west-end Bass Lake hideaway is built for you. Tucked into a quiet bay, this property is the ultimate gathering hub for family and friends. The main level is anchored by a woodstove that makes early spring mornings and crisp autumn nights exceptionally cozy, while a massive enclosed porch doubles as a glass-walled dining room overlooking the bay. Cook for a crowd using the full kitchen setup-complete with a tucked-away upright freezer for stocking summer ice cream and a dishwasher for quicker cleanups-and retreat to three comfortable bedrooms split across two levels, including a top-floor Juliet balcony with prime water views. Outside, dock the boat at your L-shaped dock, wade in from the gradual walk-in beach, or launch directly from your private boat ramp. Guests will love the detached bunkie with its own sleeping loft, fridge, and sink. A waterfront gazebo platform, multiple patio spaces, and a garden shed complete the exterior. And the heavy lifting is already done with an existing well and septic system. With a few winterization tweaks, this seasonal playground could become your year-round home base-just minutes from Perth and Smiths Falls.
