At the end of 2007, we were looking at buying a cottage but we’re worried about the work required to maintain, winterize and open a cottage as well as the worry about its security when it was not occupied. We became aware of the fractional ownership model where all these concerns evaporate. We looked at […]
We have just returned from our summer week at our fractional ownership cottage on the Ottawa River. The small cottage community is perched on a peninsula. The cottages are built on the Canadian Shield, each with waterfront and beautiful views of this unspoiled area of the mighty river, about one and a half hours west […]
We visited Whitewater Village in June of 2008 and purchased on the same day, after touring the model cottage and having ‘Captain Joe’ take us for a spin on the river. I think you could say it was love at first sight. Our family enjoys the cottage life but conventional ownership is just not workable […]
Our summer week of 2015 at the resort was one of special memories. Julie and I have immensely enjoyed our stays in Treetops over the past 5 years, with family and friends joining us in its offerings; whether it be in the quiet tranquility of snowshoeing during our winter weeks, the spectacular fall colours as […]
We have been owners for a number of years and have no regrets. We love that is a place we come to relax. As I tell my friends, I only have to bring my clothes and food: the rest is taken care of for me. I don’t even have to change a light blub (unless […]
We live in a quiet part of Ottawa so it wasn’t just peace and tranquility we were looking for – we wanted a little getaway with the luxuries we are used to and enjoy. A home away from home… but not too far away from home that it was a chore to get to in […]

It seems that everyone has a different ‘Vacation Flavour’. Some like adventure while on vacation, and others simply want to curl up with a furry companion and a great book. Others, like myself, choose a little bit of everything wrapped in one! That is what is so great about Whitewater Village. For those who love relaxing in […]
Another summer has come to an end for us at Pine Circle. We have been lucky to begin the summer with a week in June and end it with a week in August for the past few years. We have been there for 6 years and always find something new to do every time. This […]
We always explain our weeks at Whitewater Village in the same way: “We arrive on Friday with food, drinks and clothes and leave the next Friday with clothes.” We’ve always loved the idea of typical cottage ownership, but would have hated the reality: endless maintenance and cleaning, the feeling of obligation to visit every weekend […]
