Holiday rentals with lake access in North America

We loved staying at this Airbnb! Bill is a great host- very friendly and responsive. The house itself is wonderful, very comfortable for a couple. Location is also great with plenty of things to do nearby (walking distance). Would definitely come back next time we’re in Austin!

main pros: right next to highway. well maintained property. hot running water,wifi, kitchen,etc.. everything is just like home. kayak, firepit , bbq. main con: not isolated enough, if you are looking for such isolation experience.

If I could give this place a 10, I would! This is the second place we stayed at owned by William and Barbara. It is very close to excellent waterfront restaurants and shops. The peaceful quiet lake, with ducks, herons, turtles and birds is a perfect setting. This home was immaculate, and well equipped. The owners were communicative, and accommodating. They even left us a bottle of Champagne for our Anniversary. We will definitely be back.

WOW! What a great weekend at Kristi's place. It was a girlfriend's weekend and it certainly fit the bill! Even though it rained one day, we still enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and the amenities that her place provided. We enjoyed the view of the lake, the chirps from the diverse bird population (even the noisy Canada geese and Green Herons!) If you are looking to kick back and enjoy some wine on the patio while kayaks and pontoon's float gently by, this is your place! Kristi was so very responsive....responding to any question that we had within a few minutes. Sleeping was quiet and comfortable. Such a respite from a busy world. We were able to get away from news and commitments for 3 days! What a treat! We were even able to meet our host which was a treat. Thank you, Kristi!

Debbie and Ken’s place was amazing! Holding true to the Airbnb’s roots- they greeted us upon arrival and showed us where everything was including the honey holes for fishing as well as generation/ water level safety and tornado shelter (we had a warning in the area! Was an adventure but luckily shelter not needed). Felt right at home to cook/ grill meals- has plentiful of kitchenware, dishes, spices, etc. Truly like staying at your favorite aunt/uncle’s home. The neighbors were super fun as well and invited us over for HH and snacks! The gardens were truly amazing- hosts are master gardeners and the property truly shines! Home was clean and had everything you can think of! Truly a gem in Heber Springs! We will be back!

My family really enjoyed this lakehouse. This home.. have a lot of character.

Peaceful stay! There is a huge house/cabin within 20ft but there was enough space for everyone. The fishing was fantastic and the loft bed is so comfy. We definitely will be back.

Very beautiful surroundings, private and quiet. The house was spotless and stylish. host was very responsive and helpful. Easy to find the address and to check in. Recommended it to all my friends!

We enjoyed our stay. From the “lakeside view” description we thought we would be able to see the water, but instead it was a pretty view of green trees behind their house. Other than that everything was great. The hot tub was a nice perk.

Words can hardly capture the magic of Cathy’s BnB in Wasaga. From the moment we pulled into the driveway, we knew we were about to experience something special. This isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a destination in itself, a beautifully curated space that feels like stepping into the pages of an artist’s journal. The first thing that struck us was the atmosphere — peaceful, welcoming, and infused with personality. Every inch of the property is meticulously thought out and bursting with creativity. You can feel Cathy’s heart in every detail. It’s clear that this isn’t just a business for her — it’s a lifelong passion project rooted in artistry and hospitality. Cathy’s background in the arts and event world shines through in the most delightful ways. If you’re looking for something more than just a rental, if you want to stay somewhere that feeds your soul as much as it rests your body, Cathy’s BnB is it. Thank you so much for our stay!

We stayed for one night after a hiking trip and it was so easy for us to get cozy and relax! Dayna was responsive and kind, and even let us know that we could check in early! The lake view is so lovely and the atmosphere is so serene. Truly an ideal stay!

Overall this was an amazing visit. This is the first time I have stayed in a place where the owners also live. After getting past that initial shock, it was fine! It rained off and on so wasn’t able to fully enjoy the lake, but the hot tub was amazing. Was a great weekend get away.

Our stay was amazing! We went out to compete in a volleyball tournament, and have a nice place to stay once we were finished and on days off. Couldn’t have asked for a more peaceful location, and the indoor space was even better than expected! Paula even invited us to come out and have s’mores on Memorial Day Saturday, and her husband was always very kind if we ever crossed paths out and about. Best Air B&B stay we’ve had!

Absolutely fantastic place to stay! The view is amazing and the studio unit had everything you could want. The bathroom was huge and had a jetted soaker tub. While we visited during a thunderstorm, I will definitely be back to use the kayaks!! Super friendly hosts would definitely recommend.

I had a wonderful stay at Scott’s apartment in Hot Springs! The place was clean, comfortable, and felt like a true home away from home. Scott was a great host—very responsive, helpful, and made sure everything was just right during my visit.

We loved our anniversary weekend stay! The host was so kind and proactive about an issue they found with the jacuzzi before we arrived, rushed to fix it for us, AND gave us some cash back to send us to dinner for the inconvenience. The place was very clean and we enjoyed every moment of the spa features! We would most definitely stay here again!

Marks place was great. Host used clear communication, listing was as described and provided a relaxing, worry free stay. My wife and I would be happy to stay here again. You can tell Mark put thought into the place and this isn’t a cookie cutter corporate Airbnb. We would not hesitate to stay again.

Covered patio was a lifesaver, since it rained during our stay!

This place was built with the river and sunset in mind! The angle of the house is perfectly set to see the river flow from one end to the other! Two sides of the house has large glass windows where you have a picturesque view from the house and loft. The house smelt and looked squeaky clean inside. The decor was well thought out and aesthetically pleasing. The house is small but very functional for it’s purpose. We felt right at home and comfortable. There were fresh eggs and butter in the refrigerator for breakfast and bread and coffee cake in the freezer which was a very nice and thoughtful touch. The kitchen and bathroom was stocked with essentials too. We were just passing through town and hoped for a relaxing place to stay. We were not disappointed! Wish we could have stayed longer! Maybe next time.

House is perfect for a small family. Great view of the lake ! The home was well stocked with all the essentials. We had a nice relaxing weekend!

Eric and Gail were perfect host. This was our third time to go. Eddie and I had a good time and it’s just what we needed. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us and your hospitality.

This place was amazing! It's so peaceful and beautiful. They had everything you could possibly need, including a tray of snacks and wine, and the blankets were so comfy! Everything was very clean, and the included kayak/paddle boat is a plus!

This place was amazing! The inside is decorated beautifully and the lake/dock area is perfect for those looking to relax. There are so many cozy areas inside and outside the house to unwind and enjoy the peacefulness. We wish we had more time here to just getaway and we will definitely be coming back in the summer when it is warmer!

This cottage is truly a rare find for anyone seeking a peaceful getaway. It looks even more beautiful in person than in the pictures! It’s possibly the cleanest and quietest place I’ve stayed at through Airbnb so far. I challenge anyone to leave this cottage without wanting to come back soon! ☺️
