Family-friendly holiday rentals in Barrie

Christine and Rebecca were amazing hosts!! The cottage was super clean, and had everything we needed. This cottage was also super fun for a big group, we played lots of volleyball, went out in the canoes, and did hot cold dips from the lake to the sauna. Amazing place, would totally go again :)

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful lakehouse! The home was spotless, well-equipped, and exactly as described in the listing—if not better. Waking up to lake views every morning was truly peaceful, and we spent our days kayaking, swimming, and relaxing by the water.

Tamara’s rental was perfect for a girls weekend! Great sleeping arrangements. Hot tub was nice and clean. The whole canine was spot less and clean. Only 10 min uber ride into blue mountain. Great location. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Had the best time for our bachelor party at Mountain Ash Farm! Patricia and Ron were responsive and super helpful. Will be coming back here!

It was very nice stay.. we loved it here, thank u Patrick

My friends and I had a wonderful stay at Margaretha’s cottage! It is more cute and larger than it appears in the photos. Location was amazing - quiet, peaceful, beautiful, right on the water. She had all the amenities to keep you having fun without having to leave the cottage - canoe, kayaks, water mat, fire pit, bbq. We enjoyed spending every night around the fire pit! Her response time is pretty much immediate so communication was a breeze. What we really appreciated the most was her letting us check in earlier and check out later - it allowed us to not worry about having to keep our frozen/cool foods in our coolers for too long, or feel rushed checking out. The welcome chocolate was also a really thoughtful touch. Her cottage is also well stocked with kitchen and bathroom supplies. The bedrooms were spacious and cozy, and the beds were comfy enough. Bathrooms were clean and modern. Overall, it was well worth the stay!

We spent a couple of days up here, and it was as described. It took me back to my childhood! The classic “by the lake” cottage. And it is that. Complete with a breezeway with life jackets, a great dock, and of course the fantastic lake. We enjoyed a campfire, and the place had everything we needed, for meals and memories. It is a cottage though. You should expect that. It isn’t fancy, and Geoff doesn’t describe it that way. It is how he describes. Geoff is also very responsive, and when we had a question, came back right away. It was a nostalgic little getaway for us! We loved it.

We had an awesome stay. It was girls/moms weekend away. Got to sleep in each morning on comfy beds as late as we wanted but seeing the sunrises was great too! All the furniture was super comfy. The cottage had all the amenities we needed and more. The lake was picturesque and the grounds were beautiful. The hot was the icing on the cake for us ladies though. Clean and the perfect temperature. I would absolutely recommend staying At Orkney Beach and would love to come back again in the summer for a longer stay. 3 night wasn't enough. Murray was a pleasure to deal with. Thanks so much for hosting us!!

My family was visiting from Ireland, and we wanted to give them a taste of cottage life. This Airbnb went beyond what we could have hoped for. I don't think the pictures do it justice. The island was private, beautifully designed, and spacious enough for six of us to feel comfortable and relaxed throughout our stay. It felt like a home away from home. We spent our days fishing, canoeing, reading, eating well, and soaking in the stunning grounds and beautiful home. As to be expected with any cottage, bring bug spray for the black flies and mosquitos—especially if you're visiting in the warmer months. Stephen was a fantastic host: helpful and easy to communicate with. I'd love to make staying here a yearly tradition :)

We had a great time at George’s house with our friends. We went there to enjoy the fall colors and this house is a perfect spot to enjoy fall colors near by. Kayak in the fresh lake water right behind the house is really good experience. House looks exactly shown in the images. I recommend this to anyone who want to enjoy time with friends and family in a peaceful location.

We absolutely loved the cottage it was perfect for our week at the beach. The beach itself was just steps away and was absolutely beautiful with calm,clear water and friendly neighbours. There is a strong sense of community in the area. We really loved the outdoor shower which was a family favourite. We will defiantly come back to this cottage again and again if we can.

Place was nice amd cosy for our family break in winter. Great toys collectiom for 2 years old, good books collection for older kids. Only downside was that it didn't have microwave which was tricky with 2 yr old especially when trying to warm up milk quickly. TV could have been bigger fpr the space but it was still good enough. Ian was very helpful and responsove during our stay, he got snow cleaned promptly during our stay.

great place great location on the water. hope to be back in a couple of years. boat launch is 5mins away, great for fishing off the dock

Mellow Yellow was the perfect place to spend a week with family and friends. We spent lots of time on the large dock, around the campfire and on the screened in porch. We also enjoyed making many tasty dinners in the bright and charming large kitchen. The bedrooms and cottage offered lots of space for all of us to relax in. Garson was a great host! Always responded within minutes. Thank you!

Great place for a peaceful getaway in beautiful surroundings just a few minutes from town. Can’t say enough good things! Comfortable and cozy in combination with spacious, airy and bright. Everything you need. Lots of space with walking paths for kids and dogs. Great working kitchen. Huge deck with great bbq. Beautifully kept property. Responsive and friendly host.

My boyfriend and I rented Steve’s cabin for a birthday weekend and loved our stay. It was both recharging and relaxing. Being surrounded by nature all weekend felt grounding and the quiet was just what we were looking for. The bed was so comfortable and the whole cabin was so clean. Communication with Steve was great and he was so nice to chat with when we arrived. Although his home is just next door you’d never know he was even on the property unless you needed him. We did quite a bit of fishing during our stay and caught a pike on the first night! Thanks for a great stay!

The place is very cozy, clean, and easy to find. We enjoyed both the outdoor activities and chilling inside our cute cottage. Good memories to remember with your love ones.

This was an amazing stay! My boyfriend and I stayed here during the rbc canadian open and it was the perfect location. It was beautiful, clean, and so peaceful. We would come back in a heart beat!

Would highly recommend! A very spacious spot with lots of activities and lovely surroundings. The place is very cozy with the wood burning stove and plethora of candles. Annette was very pleasant, responsive and accommodating! We had a great time playing with her dogs in the snow. We will be back!

It felt like home. Jeff was very thoughtful in the extra provided such as food in the pantry and the fridge. The beds were great and comfortable and he even had games. Great stay!

Very rejuvenating stay at the place. Amazing lake view with a couple activities as well and the place is picturesque too. Had some issues while communicating with the host after check-in but overall it was a great experience.

Great location, good amenities. Just like the photos!

Janna’s cabin is perfect for a little getaway! The place was very homey and quiet! Beautiful view! I would love to come back in the summer! Would stay here again! :)

We had a wonderful stay. The space was large, cozy, and perfect for relaxing. My son especially loved meeting the farm animals, which made the experience truly special for him. Our dog had the best time playing with their dogs, which added a great touch to the trip. Bonnie was welcoming and made sure we felt right at home. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with a touch of farm life. Thank you for a memorable stay!
