Holiday rentals with a kayak in North Kawartha

One of the most incredible stays I’ve ever experienced in Ontario. This cottage is even better in person; beautifully decorated, impeccably clean and absolutely stunning and serene surroundings. Retreat 82 has all the amenities you could ask for and more, and our dog loved every minute of our stay too. We can’t wait to come back!

Tracey and Rodneys place is an absolute gem of a find in the Campbellford area! The space is incredibly designed, with the river at the bottom of the backyard. We could have spent hours in the gallery room or the library, and the open window on the top level with a couch overlooking the river would be a perfect spot to take one of their books and read the day away on a cooler day! absolutely fantastic hosts who we'll no doubt reach out to when we're in the area again! thank you both!!

We were so happy to stay at this cottage! The house was cozy and welcoming, and both our child and our dog had an amazing time. It was the perfect place for a fun and relaxing family getaway. We would love to come back again!

The rental place is clean and well organized. Nina is quick to respond. Will definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place in the area.

Really enjoyed our stay at this very clean, nicely furnished, well equipped and nicely located cottage. Loved reading and having a morning coffee on the dock. Nice quiet lake. Not too long a drive.

Highly recommend Prince’s place! It was exactly as described, was in a great location and was extremely well equipped. Prince was super communicative and checkin/out was quite simple. Great spot for a weekend away!

James' Lakehouse was the perfect getaway. Incredibly clean, comfortable, quiet and a gorgeous location with easy access to all PEC has to offer.. The hottub with the view of the lake was the cherry on top. We'll definitely be back!

Great spot to get away. Place was clean, easy to find and all amenities were as listed in the posting.

Had an awesome stay! Felt settled in almost immediately. The view alone made the stay worth it—just beautiful. Would absolutely stay again!

We had an amazing stay at Greg’s cottage. It was the perfect getaway and the perfect mix between cozy cottage and fancy amenities! We loved the sauna and the hot tub, they were amazing additions to Greg’s. The beds were super comfortable as well which is always a plus at a cottage. Greg was always responsive and was super helpful. We cannot wait to come back to this cozy cottage! Thanks Greg!

This was our second time at Blue Heron and it lives up to the expectations again! It was a lovely stay and we enjoyed every second of it. There are many activities to do in the property alone, the surrounding is peaceful with amazing view. Can’t wait to come back again.

Incredible property, secluded and private. Stunning views of the lake and the sun sets are incredible from the dock. Kayaks included were awesome fun and the local area had everything you needed (+friendly people!) Cassidy was quick to respond to questions and clear with instructions prior to our arrival. Book this cabin!!

We stayed at Rebecca’s place for 3 nights with a family of 7 and 2 small dogs. The cottage was so comfy and cozy and we enjoyed the entire weekend. There was a lot to do like kayaking and paddle boarding which was all provided as per the description! We loved the fire pit and the yard was so well kept and clean. They even had dog beds ready for our pups. She had a very well stocked kitchen that came with almost everything we needed. My family loved being both inside and outside the whole weekend. Thank you for sharing this little peaceful cottage with us, with the most amazing views of the lake.

5 Stars - Exceptional Host and Stay! Kevin was a wonderful host—friendly, responsive, and incredibly accommodating. We especially appreciated his flexibility with our additional requests, which made our stay even more comfortable. The cottage is absolutely fantastic -beautifully maintained, cozy, and exactly what we needed for a relaxing getaway. Highly recommend this place and would definitely stay again!

South Bay Cottage is truly a perfect and lovely lake getaway. Drive off the main road and into your own private cove outfitted with everything you need for a wonderful stay. Once inside, the view of Lake Stoney can be seen through the large windows from anywhere in the main room. The sunsets and starry skies were so peaceful - and even though locals told us it was unusual - we actual had an amazing view of the Northern Lights! We loved that this cottage included all the linens we needed and lots of areas to get cozy and read a book - including the extra-special gazebo. While the kitchen area is small - it is well equipped with everything we needed. Close to great hikes (Petroglyph Provincial Park, High Falls at Eels Creek, Warsaw Caves, and many others.) Also great to explore the area's great golf courses, Wanderlight Alpaca walks (a must do), Peterborough Pete's hockey, Peterborough theatre, and amazing restaurants in Lakefield (Loon, Cassia, and more). Melissa was a wonderful host!

Laura and Dale's Cottage was such a cozy, sunny, beautiful place nestled in a wooded lot right on the water front. We spent a week there in October and loved the wood fireplace and warmth that the cottage brought. The kitchen was charming with lots of well placed windows. Everything you needed for cooking was available. The board games were nostalgic and fun to play. The bed and bedding was so comfy and perfect for reading in the mornings. The view from the bedroom window was otherworldly especially the full moon coming across the water and the Autumn leaves were spectacularly gorgeous! We cant say enough about this place. We highly recommend it and we hope to return again.

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!

Thanks for an amazing stay. Felt like home, place was great, well furnished and hosts were friendly. Recommend for a fun weekend retreat.

Just what my dog and I needed for a last minute get away. Laura’s cottage was super cute and cozy. The ultimate relax on the back deck! It was perfect. Easy to find, very private too. Laura was extremely responsive and check-in was a breeze. Really hope to go back to this special place!

A couple of things that stood out for us was the abundance of towel racks and hooks in the bathroom as well as dimmers on all of the overhead lights (such a relief from glare!). We would stay here again.

Brendon’s place is truly a gem. Cozy cottage with a beautiful lakefront dock and beach. We didn’t get the best weather but can tell this place would be amazing with the sun shining during the summer months. Overall we still had a great time here and plan to return hopefully. If you are considering coming here, don’t hesitate. You won’t regret it.

This was the best way to experience the beauty of Ontario. The rusty cabin is clean and warm, with many old records and fascinating books when it gets dark, and well maintained kayaks for daytime. Bill is an amazing guy, holding some of the history and knowledge of the place in his heart and he is so willing to share it with the others. Book this place to get a sweet taste of Algonquin and Little Hawk lake.

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.
