The Roberts House Image

The Roberts House is a great starting point to explore the many area attractions of the Rideau Lakes system.

You don’t have to wander far for enjoyable pastimes at The Roberts House. In the warmer months, enjoy our lovely lawns and gardens bordering Westport Mill Pond. Fish, boat or simply watch the visiting boats come and go along the docks of the neighboring town marina. 

Take advantage of one of the 20 golf courses within a 45-minute drive of Westport or browse the many antique shops that dot our countryside. Explore the many guided trails and wonderful views of Foley Mountain. In the winter, you can indulge in favorite cold weather pastimes such as skating, skiing and tobogganing.

And no matter what the season, we are only a short drive away from the many historic and shopping attractions of Perth, Kingston, Smiths Falls, Ottawa and the 1000 Islands.
