Beautiful Luxury Cottage in Kawartha Lakes…
Shahrear's cottage was beautiful inside and out, secluded and private from the hustle and bustle of the city. The cottage was fully equipped with kitchen necessities and also had linens bedding provided. Shahrear was very responsive and friendly from booking to check out. Couldn't have asked for a better weekend getaway!

Beautiful Four Bedroom Lagoon City Waterfront Home
Daniel gave a thorough intro message of specifics the day of on top of what was already so clearly laid out. The property was beautiful with access to so many activity options. House is clean and spacious. We spent a lot of time on the dock which had a great selection of furniture and sun/shade options. The beach is a close walk. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend and will likely be back to enjoy the space again!

Waterfront Cottage w/hot tub
We booked Leigh's cottage at the last minute for our 37th wedding anniversary. She was very prompt in responding and answered all our questions immediately. From the moment we walked in we knew our stay was going to be special. Clear and pricise instructions on how to use everything in the home. So much so that we had no issues and didn't need to contact her throughout our stay as the manuals provides were very clear. The cottage is well appointed with everything you need. Exactly as described BUT even better. Beautiful open concept with a very comfortable feeling. The back of the cottage facing the river has slidding doors the entire wall so the outside comes in. There is a cute gazebo right on the water which was a lovely setting for a special dinner. The hot tube was the icing on the cake! Right off the master bedroom and private. I can't say enough about how spotless this place is. Every room is tastefully decorated and bed was super comfy. We will definately come back!

Peaceful Muskoka Riverfront cottage hot tub/Games
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage in the woods! It was clean, spacious, and incredibly peaceful — the perfect nature escape. The hot tub was amazing, and the game room was such a fun bonus. We also loved how cozy and comfortable the beds were, and the living room and big kitchen made it easy to relax and enjoy meals together. Just a heads-up: there are quite a few mosquitos, so be sure to bring some bug spray. Other than that, everything was perfect. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a quiet getaway surrounded by nature!

Salerno Hideaway
We had an amazing time, the cottage was kid friendly while still being a fun place for adults to hang out! The sauna was great, the hot tub has cool treetop views of the lake, the dock was massive and offered plenty of space to hang out. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a cottage this summer!

Melody's Oasis Waterfront 3 bdrm, 2 bthrm
Had a great stay! Beautiful property with lots of room and amenities!

Brookside on Balsam. Rest.Relax.Restore.
Penny’s place was great: every little detail has been thought through, instructions clear, host very responsive. The house and surrounding area were beautiful - clear lake; lots of outside sitting areas, bbqs, hot tub, fully furnished kitchen, etc. The house was spotless - very clean; lots of towels, robes, linens. Lastly, Penny was very accommodating and kind given that we had one older person in our group with limited mobility (the house is well equipped for accessibility - super rare for AirBnbs). Thank you, Penny!

Hills Haven - Luxury Riverfront Cottage
This was a great cottage stay for 3 people. It’s smaller, but doesn’t feel cramped, and the open concept, as well as all of outdoor areas really make the space feel a lot larger. Almost everything is modern and fresh. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you’d need. The beds are also quite comfortable. The internet accessible tv was a bonus, as was the hot tub. The photos are highly accurate. The hosts also get back to you, within an hour. The neighborhood was very quiet, even on a June weekend. I’d very much recommend this place. For negatives, I’d really have to “nitpick”: the bbq and dock/steps to water could use a refresh, but that’s a minimal “complaint” - since everything worked and were easy to use.

Cozy Cottage w/ 2 Kayaks & Canoe in Kawartha Lakes
My family and I stayed at Ashley’s cottage for three weeks during home renovations and had such a great experience! The place was so clean and beautiful, it genuinely felt like home to us. Ashley went above and beyond to ensure we were happy and comfortable. We couldn’t ask for a better host!

M&M's Waterfront Cottage - Getaway into nature!
This is a cozy, clean, and beautiful cottage where we had a wonderful weekend with our friends. The host was excellent—very responsive and accommodating. Check-in and check-out were seamless and hassle-free. The only downside was the late check-in time (3 PM) and early check-out time (10 AM), which felt a bit restrictive. Overall, it was a great experience!

Four Season Lake Front Cottage
We had a great time! we stayed here for a girls weekend. The on-site bug zappers were a godsend in keeping the mosquitos away. Everything was easy to find and perfectly fit our needs, we'd definitely come back.

Cheerful 3 bedroom cottage in Kawartha Lakes
Great stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Check-in was smooth, and the host was friendly and responsive. The area was peaceful, and everything we needed was available. Would definitely stay here again!

Lambs Landing - Waterfront in the Heart of Fenelon
Had a great stay at Lambs Landing with a group of friends. Debby & Tyler were extremely responsive and great hosts. The amenities were exactly as described / pictured and the home was extremely clean. Looking forward to staying again in the future!

Modern Four-Season Waterfront Cottage Retreat
The cottage was well furnished with modern appliances and amenities. We enjoyed lounging, barbecuing and eating on the back deck which got plenty of sunlight throughout the day. At nighttime, there is a firepit with seating by the waters edge where you can watch the sunset and stargaze. It's located on a calm spot of Cameron lake, which itself is very shallow and sandy, so great for swimming. The provided kayaks and stand-up paddleboard are great amenities which allow you to explore the lake. The location is also very close to town (~3 min drive), where you can find a brewery, a couple restaurants and little shops. Would stay again!

Riverside Retreat: cozy waterfront cottage
I booked a weekend here with my wife for our 25th anniversary getaway. This was a beautiful area. I didn’t do any fishing but there is walleye and musky in the river behind the cottage. The dock to fish from is great. We took our SxS to go trail riding. Access to the trails is very close with only about 3 minutes of road riding to get on. Lots of parking for my trailer, SxS and truck. I could have fit 2 or 3 more vehicles. The place is clean, and the hosts were very responsive with any questions I had thru the app. This was my first time using air bnb and it did not disappoint. We are thinking about booking this place again next year and bringing our in-laws. The pictures don’t quite do it justice. Sitting on the dock at night while the sun goes down was my favorite part. It was so quiet and peaceful. Thanks again for the great visit!!! You are doing a fantastic job with this property.

Cheerful 3 Bedroom cottage with fantastic sunsets!
It was clean, well stocked with everything we needed, it’s in a beautiful spot and we had such a fun week. We appreciated the responsive replies and the clear instructions and we enjoyed staying here so much.

Crego Cove: Your Lakeside Escape *Hot Tub*
We had a fantastic stay at the cottage as a group of five! The place was super clean, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for both comfort and fun. The surrounding forest and lake were absolutely beautiful—peaceful, private, great for a summer getaway. As expected during the summer, there were lots of bugs outside, but the cottage was well-prepared for that. Bug screens and other thoughtful touches kept the indoors totally bug-free, so we could relax comfortably without any issues or worries. Communication with the hosts was excellent—they were incredibly responsive and accommodating. Anytime we had a question, they replied right away with helpful solutions. They went above and beyond our expectations to make sure our stay was smooth and worry-free. We couldn’t have asked for better hosts!

Private Waterfront Cottage at Lake Simcoe
What a great place! We had 11 people. 6 adults and 5 children. There were beds for everyone and because the weather was crap (totally not Byron’s fault - LOL) we were inside most of the weekend. There was enough space and internet bandwidth to keep everyone happy and engaged! Everything was comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed! Hope to rent this next year for family fun weekend!

Cottage on the Waterway *King Bed
My friends and I had a great stay! We loved the multiple outdoor seating areas and the easy access to the water. The stairs down to the water are steep but we were able to get our stand-up paddle boards down more easily than we initially thought. We also made use of the kayaks and had fun exploring the area by water. The kitchen was very clean and had everything we needed to cook and also bbq. Walkable to the grocery store and into town. The wraparound couch was perfect and so comfortable for all of us to lounge on in the evenings. Great place!

The cottage was clean, well-stocked, and thoughtfully designed to provide everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The host was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had all the information and support we needed throughout our stay. If you’re looking for a tranquil retreat to recharge and reconnect with nature, this lakeside cottage is the perfect choice.

The Cottage in the Woods
This cottage was perfect for our family get-away this June. The cottage was comfortable, clean and quiet. The deck offered a beautiful view of Four Mile Lake and our family spent most of our time there when we weren't out exploring. Thank you Kaitlyn!
