Welcome to The Blue Heron Lake House
Your Premier Waterfront Retreat in the Heart of the Ottawa Valley
Tucked away on the serene shores of Round Lake in Smith’s Bay, The Blue Heron Lake House is more than just a vacation rental—it’s where your best summer memories begin. Whether you’re looking to reconnect with family, escape the city bustle, or dive into outdoor adventure, our updated 4-bedroom home offers the perfect blend of modern comfort and classic lakeside charm.
Location: Perfectly Positioned
We are located just outside of Killaloe, Ontario, making us a convenient "middle ground" for travelers across the province:
From Ottawa: A scenic 2-hour drive.
From Toronto: Approximately 4 hours away.
Local Access: Minutes from the charming shops of Killaloe and the historic village of Wilno.
Your Home Away From Home
Designed to comfortably host 8–10 guests, the Blue Heron is ideal for multi-generational families or small groups.
4 Bedrooms & 2 Bathrooms: Plenty of space for everyone to unwind.
Outdoor Living: A private dock, a large deck with a BBQ, and a screened-in porch perfect for morning coffee or late-night cards without the bugs.
The Waterfront: Enjoy a gradual, child-friendly sandy-bottom entry into the crystal-clear waters of Round Lake.
Premium Amenities: Relax in the outdoor hot tub overlooking the bay, cozy up by the wood-burning fireplace, or enjoy high-speed Wi-Fi and a smart TV for movie nights.
Adventure Included: We provide a canoe and paddleboat so you can explore the quiet bays and spot local wildlife like our namesake blue herons.
Explore the Ottawa Valley
While the lake house has everything you need, some of Ontario’s most iconic attractions are right at our doorstep:
The Bonnechere Caves (30 mins): A "must-see" underground adventure. Explore fossil-filled caves and limestone passages that have been a local favorite for generations.
Provincial Park Hopping: We are nestled between Bonnechere Provincial Park and Foy Provincial Park, and only 45 minutes from the world-renowned Algonquin Provincial Park.
Whitewater Thrills: For the adventurous, the famous whitewater rafting of the Ottawa River (Wilderness Tours and OWL Rafting) is just a 45-minute drive away.
Family Fun: Check out Splash Valley Waterpark Resort and the Oaks of Cobden Golf Course. Right in Killaloe at The Homestead at Wolf Ridge, the newest Ottawa Valley golf course just minutes from the cottage.
