"Trevor was very accommodating! We enjoyed watching turtles, ducks, muskrats, and even a heron! The boat was very cozy. We had a fantastic week of exploring Ottawa!"

"Our room was very clean and the bathroom was also clean. Most most important to us. We had a fridge which was a nice option. Coffee was in the room but the hotel had a nice breakfast including boiled eggs, cereal, yogurt, breads, muffins, juice and a nice coffee machine that offers a variety of hot beverages. Would stay here again without hesitation "

"We chose Heritage House for our intimate wedding, and it exceeded all expectations. The historic stone house felt warm and welcoming—full of Victorian charm, but with modern comforts like a remodeled kitchen, updated bathrooms, and a TV room with gorgeous views of the Rideau Canal. Everything was spotless when we arrived, with well-appointed bedrooms and kitchen. The listing matched reality.The house was remarkably spacious, easily accommodating our group and 50 guests for the ceremony and reception. Guests enjoyed relaxing, playing games, dancing, and soaking in the wide-open views—we never felt crowded. Outdoor spaces were a highlight: decks overlooking the canal, an intimate upstairs seating area with a gazebo and firepit, a wood-heated sauna, cold plunge bath, and a dock perfect for kayaking or enjoying the scenery. The proximity to the Clowes locks and charming Merrickville offered extra activities, quaint restaurants, and beautiful sights for everyone.We loved having the flexibility to decorate, and Jake’s communication was excellent—any questions were resolved quickly. Check-in/out and parking were simple. The setting, amenities, and Jake’s helpfulness made our weekend truly special. Our guests raved about the setting and house, calling it a hidden gem. We highly recommend Heritage House for gatherings. Thank you, Jake!"
