Beachfront holiday rentals in North Bay

The view from the balcony pays for the place! So peaceful and the sauna was great. Wish the weather was more cooperative but there’s load to do at this cottage.

So peaceful and beautiful view of the water. We will be back!

We had an absolutely magical stay at this lakeside cottage! The attention to detail in the space was remarkable, with every corner thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation. The kitchen was well-stocked, making it a joy to cook meals, and the wood-burning fireplace added the perfect cozy touch for our winter evenings. The views were breathtaking—each window felt like looking at a postcard, with stunning vistas of the lake and surrounding nature. Laura's hospitality truly stood out; she went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for a memorable stay. The location is unbeatable. Being just a short drive to Algonquin Park allowed us to enjoy some fantastic hikes with our dog and we loved returning to the peaceful setting of the cottage afterward. This cottage is a gem, and we can't wait to return. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a serene getaway or a cozy work-from-home option.

Great views and outdoor space to enjoy with our family and dog. Great hikes close by. Host was very responsive, easy to reach, and friendly. A great place for a family vaca!

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Less than 1km from OFSC trails (primary reason for our stay). We enjoyed the quiet of the lake, bbq one evening and the wood stove for heat. Michelle, our host, was very responsive to all of our questions leading up to and during our stay.

First time ever staying in Kearney. The location was perfect. The host was amazing, and this cottage was absolutely fantastic

Derek is one the best hosts I’ve come across. Super responsive, made great accommodations for me and my friends. Answered all of our questions and overall was really nice. The place was beautiful, private, and peaceful. You’ll have everything from indoor and outdoor activities to your own dock for fishing, fire pit, and outdoor fireplace. I would highly recommend! Thank you Derek!

Great place to chill out for a few days. The cottage and surroundings were quiet and beautiful. As for the hosts, Tina was really nice and easy to communicate with and her recommandations made everything easy. I highly recommend her and her husband’s cottage!

Bowhey’s is such a special place. All the amenities, clean cabins, staff is always busy working on something to make it even more beautiful. Ian is so great and laid back. Saturday night karaoke should not be missed! We will definitely be back.

Ian is a great host very friendly and professional. Amenities are well kept from the swimming pool to the fish cleaning hut, you can buy even premium gas for your boat and enjoy a Saturday evening karaoke. Definitely we will come back again.

The cottage was exactly what I have expected it to be. The host was great. Would recommend it to others.

My first time experiencing cottage life. Ian and his family are good hosts. My children loved Ian. This resort felt very safe. The people that were there were very kind and friendly. it was not overwhelming, it was just right. You do have to bring your own pillows and linen. My suggestion, bring a fan. keep you cool at night. There is hot water. Karaoke night was a lot of fun. no judgement. Ian has a big variety of music. If you are coming from the GTA, you are looking at about 5 to 6 hours of travel time depending on traffic. We didn't get to do the trails because our kids wanted to swim in the pool all day. However, there are trails around the area. Canoeing was a lot of fun and the paddle boards were a challenge but a lot of fun too. There is fire wood present for you to use if you want to make a bonfire. There is a convenience store down the street. They sell essential groceries, beer, liquor, first aid and hot food. Some of his cabins have a really good view of the lake.

Loved our stay. Ian was fantastic and friendly. Great location with everything we could ask for.

My family and I had a nice cozy experience staying on Ian's yacht. We relished the lake views, the dock, the stars, and the sunset, as well as the opportunity to cast our fishing line directly off the bow.

Ian's place is as described. His boat is clean, and the resort is well organized. He is one of the few hosts that is actually on-site, to help with anything needed; he is also very accommodating and easy-going. I didn't think there was actually going to be a karaoke night, as it had been described in the other reviews, but there was one. The whole area is conducive to a relaxed state of mind. my son and I enjoyed staying here and will very likely come back for some good fishing. Yes, we caught fish too, which was a plus.

Absolutely amazing. Spectacular location. Clean facilities. Amazing fishing. I can’t express how happy I am with our stay. THANK YOU GUYS.

We had a great little fall getaway weekend and the cottage was perfect. It was just the 2 of us plus our 2 little dogs, which made for a very quiet, peaceful and relaxing escape. The sun rise and sunset over the lake is picturesque! The cottage had all the amenities we needed to cook our meals and just relax. Kim was wonderful to correspond with and was able to offer us an early check in and checkout to make the most of our weekend. Would definitely recommend a visit to this wonderful cottage on Pickerel Lake!

Lovely cottage by the lake. We spent our afternoon there canoeing and kayaking on the pristine Deer lake. Wes and Jana were excellent hosts. They were kind and were available to answer all our questions through the app. You will have a very private experience here. We loved sitting by the fire pit every evening. Wes was kind enough to cut some firewood for us. The kitchen is extremely well stocked. Algonquin park is about 1.5 hours from the cottage along HW60. However the cottage is beautiful and you could spend all your time on the water. Highly recommend staying here.

Brenda was a fantastic host and the place was absolutely beautiful. It was private and peaceful making it the perfect getaway! Brenda went out of her way to make us feel welcome and the odd thing we forgot, she happily provided. She even set up a surprise for my boyfriend because it was his 30th birthday, which was incredibly sweet! Her responses were always quick and helpful. I would definitely come back and recommend to other people. Thank you for a great weekend :)

My husband and I spent a few nights here and it was fantastic. Brad and Erin were friendly and very responsive! The cottage was everything we were looking for. Quant, private, hot tub, on the lake, pet friendly. What more could you ask for? Highly, highly recommend!

Whoa what can I say, Sue’s place is basically your own private beach resort. It has everything you need, extremely clean, and very well organized. On top of that Sue is amazing to communicate with. The outside is just lovely as the indoors, the lake was even surprisingly pretty warm considering early June. My family and I truly had a great time and would love to return! Thank you Sue and Marc for sharing your beautiful home.

not a single issue, host was available for questions, great space , great value and beautiful redone firepit with firewood. lots of chipmunks and ducks. the master bedroom felt like sleeping next to the water with amazing glider rocker Adirondack chairs right out the patio doors for morning coffee.

We had an excellent family winter weekend getaway! We did some ice fishing, snowmobiling and skating/hockey down the road at the local ODR. The cottage was a great spot for our family and we will definitely go back and would love to try it in the summer months. Thanks for sharing your cottage with us!

This cottage was perfect for our golf trip. Seguin Valleys golf course was just 25 minutes away and the cottage had a nice back deck and dock to hang out on after our games.
