The Cottage
|
Sturgeon Island has been in the family for five generations and not been owned by anyone else since the Rideau was formed.
The original cottage was built by William Hall Sturgeon, a merchant in Newboro. He left it to his daughter Lottie: hence Lottie’s Isle. Lottie, a musician, used it for her summer retreat and after she married Edward Fleming, Captain of the Rideau King and Rideau Queen, she and her family spent their summers there. It is now owned by her grand daughter Maggie who has lovingly restored and updated the cottage built in 1895. This wee gem of an island gives you at your fingertips, good boating, swimming, bird watching and fishing. In the centre of the island is a screened Gazebo with an "oh so comfortable" hammock.
Loons nesting nearby serenade you, taking you deeper into the Magic of the Rideau. |
