Holiday rentals with lake access in Abitibi-Témiscamingue

We are in awe with how amazing this place is. The river is a joyous sight to enjoy, the house is comfy, the hosts welcoming, and the drive up was full of grand views. There are trails, games indoors and outdoors, the best stocked kitchen I've ever seen from an Air B&B, and an amazingly relaxing softtub. Wanda and Greg were immediately inviting and let us know in advance what to expect on how to get there and the fun things to do while at Valhalla and in Mattawan. If I could recommend anything to someone coming here it would be to bring a good pair of waterproof shoes and a day pack to explore the mountain paths. They were a great treat and we would walk them again in a heartbeat. There are so many things to rave about at this cozy home I can't list them all here but we will be happy to return and enjoy even more of what Valhalla has to offer.

The lake house was a lovely stay. First of all, the lakefront is beautiful and I enjoyed dangling my feet in the water and watching the sunset from the fire pit. The space inside was immaculate, comfortable, well-designed, and spacious. I let Andrea know the WiFi router had an issue, and within minutes she was on the phone with the company resolving the issue for me. I definitely recommend this home and would gladly stay here again.

We had the most wonderful stay at this charming lakeside cottage! From the moment we arrived, our hosts went above and beyond to make us feel welcome — they were incredibly kind, responsive, and full of thoughtful touches that made the experience feel extra special. The cottage itself is beautifully maintained, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. But the real showstopper is the location — the views of the lake are absolutely breathtaking. Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee on the dock or watching the sunset reflect off the water in the evening, every moment felt serene and magical. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway surrounded by natural beauty and hosted by genuinely lovely people, this is the place. We can’t wait to come back!

Very cozy place was perfect spot for a base camp for snowmobiling

Granite Lake Chalet was a beautiful spot for our family vacation. Host Pat was friendly and responsive, and her husband even helped us catch the NBA finals on TV. The kitchen was well-stocked for cooking for our party of 7. Bathrooms were clean with ample towels and toiletries. The upstairs primary suite was roomy, with a large closet our 9-year-old used as a sleeping nook. The queen bedroom downstairs bedroom was tight due to bulky furniture; the 2nd bedroom with the bunk and double was much smaller than expected and would be much better suited for just kids. The screened-in patio was a cozy highlight, with lights, blankets, and candles for bug-free lounging. We also loved “Em’s Hideaway,” a quiet reading nook. Sturdy steps led to a magical, well-lit dock—best we’ve seen in Ontario. Great for fishing and relaxing. We launched our boat nearby, though the steep dirt ramp may require 4WD if it’s muddy. Caught mostly smallmouth bass and a couple pike. A great stay overall!

This cabin was an absolute dream for our mothers' first visit to Canada! We were looking for something special, and this place exceeded all expectations. The location was ideal – a perfect blend of natural beauty and proximity to the city. What truly amazed us was how much more beautiful it was in person compared to the already great photos. The serene lake view, the perfectly stocked kitchen, and the immaculate cleanliness all contributed to an unforgettable stay. You can feel the warmth and care in every detail. The hosts were also fantastic, with quick and kind communication. They even helped us retrieve keys we'd accidentally left behind! We can't wait to return and highly recommend this incredible retreat.

Superbe chalet! Communication facile, le chalet est encore plus beau que sur les photos! tout l'équipement pour cuisiner, à 15 minutes des épiceries et autres facilités. Merci beaucoup!

Nous avons passé un super week-end en famille. Le chalet était magnifique. La propreté, la décoration , les équipements à l ´intérieur comme à l’extérieur. Nous avons notamment beaucoup apprécié les équipements sportifs à l ´extérieur : canoë , pédalo.. l’hôte était très réactive. Nous n’avions plus de bouteille de gaz pour le barbecue et en moins de 10 min , quelqu’un est venu nous en apporter une . Très bel endroit, très reposant!!!

The view of Lake Nipissing can’t be beat. Lisa is a wonderful host and the apartment is beautifully renovated and spotless! I highly recommend staying at this little gem

Ernest and Gisele were lovely hosts. Gisele gave us a tour when we arrived showing us where to find various supplies and safety equipment and the location of switches, etc. The kitchen was very well supplied with everything we needed. The apartment was spotless and the bed was made up with cozy flannel bedsheets which was perfect for this time of year. All notes and recommendations for local dining were in both French and English which was helpful for us. It was a great place for us to stop for the night on our way home.

Where would I even begin? This was by far the best experience I’ve had. The unit exceeded expectations, it really did make you feel at home from the moment you walked in. It is honestly so nice, zero complaints. The host’s were absolutely amazing. They were so responsive to any need I had no matter how big or small, and made everything just so comfortable. I don’t think I’ll ever come across a group quite like them again. I would highly recommend this unit and any other unit listed under the host’s. They made being away from home and the struggles of daily life feel effortless. I am grateful for all they did and accommodated for me. As I said, best experience I’ve had by far.

Really great hosts! They responded quick every time and provided a lot for us. Very much a bring your clothes and you’re good to go situation! The hosts also respected privacy and we never felt uncomfortable being there. The hosts only came if we needed them too and always did when asked, usually within 20 minutes (like for water or propane refills). We also felt safe and secure in this house as we had our own unit and only we could access it. The view of the lake is beautiful and I’m definitely going to miss it! I would definitely recommend and I will be saving this air bnb for any future needs in north bay!:) they also provided all the streaming services which was really great for us during our visit! The outdoor lighting at night was a really nice touch. The place was cleaned really well and you could tell that the hosts truly care, with all the small things most hosts don’t think of or care to do! Thanks for a great stay!:)

Brenda and John were great to deal with. They’re home is very beautiful thanks guys!

Un magnifique petit appartement avec une belle cour aménagée à deux pas du lac Gagnon. Sylvie est une hôte exceptionnelle, accueillante et aidante! Je recommande hautement.!🌟🌟🌟

we will definitely use Susi again for future needs, had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend staying in her place

Michel’s place was really beautiful, peaceful and relaxing. It had everything you need and more! We spent a week with our dog enjoying the perfect location and space. From hot tub to the pellet stove to the arcade game, this truly has everything you need to relax and enjoy. From pre check in to check out, Michel was an outstanding host who was always responsive and helpful. He is so kind and warm always willing to help if we needed anything at all. Truly a superb host! We really would love to come back someday.

We really enjoyed our stay! The home was clean, quiet, and had a lovely ambiance that made it easy to relax. The hot tub was a great bonus and added to the peaceful, private atmosphere. It was also very convenient— the location made getting around simple. A small suggestion: adding shades or blinds to the large windows and doors would help with privacy, especially in the evenings. Overall, a great place to stay—would definitely recommend!

This is our second time staying at David’s cottage. He is an A+ host who is always very communicative and accommodating. He is very proactive with the details & logistics of the property and quick to respond. This site is a beautiful spot with great views and the general area is worth exploring. If you’re considering booking this site, take this as your sign to do it! You won’t regret it!

Robert was super friendly!! everything was as it should be. quiet and absolutely perfect. Ladysmith has the most amazing wings and food!!! will try to go back this summer

Thank you for an excellent weekend! My friends and I stayed at Foad’s cottage and it was beautiful! We enjoyed the hot tub and game room very much. Foad was always very quick to respond and the description of the property was very accurate. I recommend Foad’s cottage to all! Thanks again!

Bonjour, Tout c'est bien passé, merci. Merci pour l'accueil, c'est vraiment bien pour un petit voyage d'affaire à plusieurs!

Fantastic stay at the cabin. As advertised. Extremely responsive to questions. Easy check in. Well stocked with kitchen ware and other basic amenities. Would happily stay again.

Monica & Lauren were amazing hosts making sure we were prepared and comfortable. They responded quickly every time and made us feel very welcome from start to finish & our stay was perfect. The cottage had everything we needed we felt so comfortable the entire time. Beautiful surroundings the river was very calm most days. Saw hummingbirds and blue jays. 11/10 great experience all around.

Nous avons passé un beau séjour. C’est un endroit paisible et ressourçant. Nous espérons pouvoir revivre cette expérience l’an prochain pour notre activité de mère- filles.
