Located on a branch of the Rideau River about 53 kilometers (32.9 miles) south of Canada’s capital city Ottawa, lies the small city of Kemptville. Kemptville dates as far back as 1804 when it began to grow from being a tiny forest hamlet into a lumber mill thanks to an enterprising businessman from somewhere in New England. The mill and its surrounding area became a key stop on the road leading from Ottawa, which brought more people into the town. Today, Kemptville is a thriving municipality powered by its agricultural bounty. Smiths Fall is just 30 minutes away and offers many Airbnb vacation rentals, in case you feel like venturing outside the city. Travelers making their way here will undoubtedly be pleased with the tranquil and steady life that permeates the air. Scroll down to read about the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Kemptville, Canada.
