Holiday rentals with a kayak in Lake Joseph

Fantastic place for big group of people and pets. Bethany is very friendly and responsive which made our check in and out very seamless. Amazing view of Muskoka Lake and we enjoyed the time in the water! Highly recommend this place for a relaxing vacation.

The house is really beautiful. You wake up every morning in the middle of pure nature. It’s a unique place. Lots of fun things included in the house. We had everything we needed and more. Would definitely recommend if you wanna spend a family vacation. It’s the perfect place to spend a lot of time in.

Our stay here was fantastic. The house is big with plenty of rooms for a big group. It was clean and orderly. There is a beautiful dock with a canoe, kayak and life jackets. Our host Fred was very kind and accommodating. I would recommend this to anyone looking a cottage getaway.

The place was very clean and exactly what the pictures and description showed. Tina was very friendly and every instruction and expectation for check-in and check-out were very clear. A perfect place to stay for a concert at the KEE.

We absolutely loved our stay at Maya & Greg’s cottage. We spent the May long weekend here and loved the peaceful environment and beautiful surroundings. The cottage was exactly as pictured, there was lots to do, and the hosts were very friendly. Highly recommend!

My friends and I had an amazing time at Ken and Rebecca’s place. We would love to visit again and highly recommend.

Beautiful, spacious and very comfortable. One of the most amazing views I've ever had at a cottage. So many windows that can open to let the beautiful sunshine and breeze in. Fans, AC and heat allowed for perfect temperature control.

I had a fantastic stay at Jude's place! The property is beautiful, with stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere — perfect for a relaxing getaway. Everything was spotless and well-maintained, with all the amenities you could need. There was also a great selection of water sports equipment available, which made it even more fun to enjoy the outdoors. The location is ideal for anyone looking to be close to nature. A special thanks to our host, Jude, who was incredibly accommodating and responsive throughout the stay. Highly recommend this place!

Lissa and Gerry were great hosts! The kitchen was very well stocked, the view is lovely and the place was easy to find. The welcome basket was very thoughtful. We enjoyed our stay and will book again next time we are in the area. Thank you Lissa and Gerry!

What a gem! This lovely cottage was everything we wanted. Private, clean and super cozy. The view from the deck steps away from the back porch was absolutely beautiful. Douglas was very friendly! His response time was very quick to any questions and he made sure we had everything we needed. His recommendations for around the area were super helpful too. Definitely recommend!

We had an amazing experience at Erins cottage. The place was clean and in amazing shape. The property is very large and has great access to the lake. We would return again. Erin was very responsive.

This cottage is perfection. Liane & James are just SO lovely. If you're reading this, don't look any further. Just book it. We couldn't have had a better week at Follie's Cove. The cottage was the perfect mix of modern and rustic. Clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped. We felt at home instantly. The sunroom was the perfect chill spot for us and our two big dogs to get out of the sun/rain without feeling cooped up indoors. The beach was heaven for our dogs, and on a quiet end of the lake, so we saw few other people all week. The quintessential Muskoka experience! Liane and James were *beyond* wonderful. They set us up with a ton of breakfast food and desserts. Even offered to return the day after check-in to drop off more coffee. It truly felt like renting from friends. Highly recommend renting the pontoon boat from them and puttering around the lake. Wish I had more space to gush about the space and their incredible hospitality. We would book again in a heartbeat!

Wow! What an incredible experience I just had at this cottage. It was the perfect Canadian getaway, offering everything I needed in one spot. I didn’t even feel the need to leave, it had it all. Two bonfire hangouts right outside, a cozy second lounge area with a fireplace and netted enclosure, plus kayaks and stand-up paddleboards for some lake fun. Mornings on the deck with coffee and sunny afternoons soaking up the sun, it doesn’t get better. Words don’t do this place justice. If you’re looking for a true Canadian cottage experience, whether it’s for your family or a group of friends, this is the one. So many rooms, a downstairs playroom with a cinema, ping pong, and more. And Michelle, the host, was amazing, super kind and quick to respond to all my questions. They even provide a simple guide to help you get familiar with everything once you book.

This place was beautiful and right on the water. We stayed for three nights and really enjoyed it. We had enough kayaks to have fun in the water. The location was very private and peaceful.

As first time users to AirBNB- So glad to have found this charming cottage to stay. It is just as the pictures indicated - pretty and serene and bigger than expected. Maureen and Mark have thought of everything to make our stay comfortable with all the amenities as indicated. Small things like a night light in the bathroom to a fully equipped kitchen shows that they have thought of everything. But to be welcomed with Maureen’s banana bread was a very special treat. It was delish and it shows they go the extra mile for their guests. The fishing was good with some nice big fish from the dock and boathouse as well. The lake is beautiful and peaceful. Maureen was quick to respond to any questions we had. And both Mark and Maureen were very accommodating, welcoming, making us feel at home and were a pleasure to meet. It truly is a beautiful place to stay for a nice get away. We will be back! It was nice meeting you both & so glad we were able to enjoy this little slice of paradise.

Jennifer's place was a perfect gathering point for our birthday family reunion. The accommodation was spotless, bright and warm and even had a little pack and play set up for the baby to have a nap. The grounds were stunning as was the view. Our only regret is that the weather did not cooperate so water activity was limited to a polar dip followed by a relaxing soak in the hot tub. A beautiful retreat that our family thinks should be an annual event.

We loved our stay here! The house was spotless and had everything we could’ve needed and more. The dock and watercrafts were our favourite daytime spot, and the dining table was perfect for groups games in the evenings. We didn’t get to use the fire pits but there were two of them! We’ll definitely be back!

We stayed at Laura's cabin on our honeymoon and it was amazing! We love the outdoors and if the weather has cooperated we would have taken the kayaks out onto the lake. If your looking for a quick quiet getaway close to Gravenhurst with all the amenities of cottage county, this is your place to stay! The cabin was clean, stocked with all your kitchen essentials you will need.

We booked the airbnb very last minute and Lixin reached out to us promptly and gave us clear instructions. The cottage is stunning , it actually looks better than the pictures. overall, we had a wonderful weekend over there.

Great rustic place to unwind and enjoy the outdoors. Reminded me of my childhood family cottage. It was private and had everything one needs in a semi offgrid location. Bill was prompt, accommodating and friendly. Bring more firewood than you'll think you'll need! Thanks again, Bill!

We had a great time here celebrating my son's 6th birthday and Father's Day. Not many places can boast a great little private beach plus a dock, and the fishing off the beach was great. We also saw lots of turtles, including some babies, which were adorable. The beds are super comfortable, as is the living room. We loved having use of the paddle boat to see more of the natural beauty of the lake. Great spot!

I highly recommend the Lake House in Dorset/Raven Shores. This cottage was perfectly situated and close to scenic attractions and many trails. The property was picturesque morning, noon, and night. The perfect spot with easy access to the lake. Their customer service and attention to detail is second to none, exceeding my expectations every time. The hosts were readily available and responded quickly. The cottage was warm and Cozy "just like home." It was equipped with everything a family would need and more. We would stay again.

We stayed for 4 nights at this cottage in late September, just as the autumn leaves were setting in. It was rainy at night but we enjoyed cozy nights watching The Hobbit or playing board games by the roaring fireplace. During the days, we did multiple hikes around Hardy Lake, went to Bala (a very quaint town-we made jokes about being in a cheesy Hallmark movie), toured the cranberry bogs and trails with hot wine drinks and just enjoyed time at the cottage. There is something for everyone whether you’re a cook, book-lover or outdoors enthusiast. We brought our two dogs who loved hiking the trails, watching chipmunks, swimming near the shore , and lounging on the dock. They even got into the canoe. There was a friendly senior dog who wandered down to say hi a couple times. The highlight of it all- we got engaged there! :) :) :) Sarah and Chris, you must be so proud of this enchanting cottage where so many special life moments were created.

This was our second visit to Taylor’s place on Otter Lake and it was just as beautiful as we remembered ☺️ such a quiet lake, the cutest cottage and private dock, and anything we needed in town was less than 15 min away. This is such a gem of a spot it’s become our annual anniversary destination 🥰❤️
