About Us
Our Story
“My dream was always been to open a bed and breakfast. My passion for cooking and baking comes from my Gram, she was an excellent cook and taught me all the basics and I love meeting new people and sharing stories. I believe opening a bed and breakfast will allow me to share my dreams with others.
My plan was to purchase and open a Bed and Breakfast upon retiring and looked every couple of years for the ideal house and location. My sisters live in Morrisburg and encouraged me to fulfill my dream here. One day we went looking and when I saw this beautiful 1871 Historic Home with a gorgeous backyard and stunning view of the St. Lawrence River, I knew it was serendipitous and that I had found the perfect location.
I spent the first year going to auctions and small boutiques to furnish my new home. I thought of all the small details that would make my guests feel special and at home. I opened in 2018 on weekends only as I was still working in downtown Ottawa. Over time, I have had guests from all over Canada, the USA, and Europe, many of which have returned multiple times.
Serendipity is when someone finds something good by chance. I believe I found my perfect house and location by chance as I was not planning to purchase at that time. I also believe my guests will find a lot more charm, beauty, and peacefulness than expected and will return again and again.
As Serendipity is at the River’s Edge, I thought it was important to include it in the Bed and Breakfast name.”

Guest Reviews
My boyfriend and I had an absolute serene time during our stay here at serendipity at river's edge. We were looking for a break from our daily lives where we could sit at the water and this was perfect. The home and rooms are from the 1800s and the beautiful decor follows suit. Maureen was so warm, genuine, and friendly, but then left us to enjoy our privacy perfectly. The breakfast was as if it was off of a master chef episode, so lovely. We will for sure go back soon.

What a great place. From the moment we entered Serendipity Maureen made us feel at home. From the first tour of the home, to the attention of the finest details, our weekend visit was one of our most enjoyable experiences in staying at a B and B. From the romantic wine and candlelight on the porch in the evening to relaxing on the waterfront watching the ships, all added up to a relaxing special weekend. Sumptuous breakfast served on the antique china will also hold special memories for us.

Beyond our expectations, we absolutely enjoyed all of our experiences at Maureen's exquisite home. The atmosphere was so welcoming as we arrived: tasteful Christmas decore, music and a lovely fire. A superb residence for a b and b, and Maureen is a committed host whose culinary skills shine.We very much appreciated her willingness to accommodate dietary needs. It will be wonderful to return to this beautiful property in warm seasons.
