Family-friendly holiday rentals in Downtown, Ottawa

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 very clean, the area is in a very pleasant country area, in the house there was everything you need for a comfortable rest. I would like to point out that we were very pleased with the hot tub during the winter.

A great property. A very responsive host.

Pierre’s home is lovely and well appointed. It was exactly as the photos depict. The home was spotless upon arrival and Pierre was easily reached to answer any questions. Our family of 4 was very comfortable. It was nice to be near nature but also near amenities and a short drive to downtown Ottawa.

Chantal is an amazing host! my step daughter and I spent a great 4 days there while visiting Ottawa. we enjoyed the drive to and from Gatineau each day and we loved the space Chantal has for her guests. 10/10 experience and we'll be going back on our next trip there!

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.

Perfect location for our skating weekend in Ottawa. Quick walk to the canal. Backs onto a great park and wonderful dog walking. The apartment itself has everything we needed and was very comfortable.

My family and I really appreciated staying in this stylish, interesting, beautiful house. Everything about it is comfortable and convenient. Towels and linens are generously provided, and there are lots of extras from coffee to paper products. The kitchen is nice to cook in. The windows provide beautiful light, but the home feels private. The place is very quiet and private. We enjoyed walking in the fields and woods that are immediately adjacent. Patrick was an ideal host for us, offering assistance and answering questions but he was very discreet. I really felt like the house was ours during the time we stayed there. We would love to return sometime. I recommend this place very highly.

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.

I had a great experience staying at this property! The host was extremely nice, helpful, and responsive, making sure all of our needs were met. The property was exactly as described—clean and well-maintained, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, offering both convenience and a beautiful view. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy and hassle-free stay. Would definitely return!

Lisa’s place was great! My husband and I travelled with our dog to Ottawa to go skating on the canal. The location was the highlight of the trip, walking distance to everything we needed including stair access to the canal 5 minutes away. Lisa was very responsive and kind, even offering to extend our check out time which was very appreciated. Airbnb was clean and as described. Neighbourhood felt safe and having a parking spot behind the building was a huge bonus. Thank you Lisa!

Our family had a wonderful stay! The space wowed us in every way and was even bigger and more beautiful in person than in the photos. It was extremely cold and snowy when we visited, but we found plenty to do both inside and out, even with two small kids. The game room was a hit with everyone. There were plenty of toys to occupy the kids. Lots of great food nearby, all within easy walking distance. And we all enjoyed traipsing just a couple short blocks through the snow to skate on the canal. To Bart and family - Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Perfect winter escape. Nancy’s place is even better than the (already amazing) pictures. I highly recommend.

I had a lovely time, the apartment was cozy, the nearby dog park was great, and the hosts were great!

This was the cleanest place we’ve been in for sure. Right on the river, private, well laid out. I can see that in the summer it would be very beautiful with the garden beds and the nice lap pool. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
