Holiday rentals with a kayak in Algonquin Highlands

Would 100% recommend this cozy cottage and we are already keen to return next year! Shannon was very responsive and addressed our questions clearly and in a friendly manner. The cottage was beyond our expectations with respect to cleanliness and tidiness! We also enjoyed the use of the fire bowl and two single kayaks around the beautiful lake.

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!

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!

This place was a great size for our group of 10 and had a very spacious and comfortable main room where we could all gather to eat, play games and relax. The sauna is a nice feature as well. The kitchen was very well equipped. Kersti and her co-hosts were very responsive, accomodating and helpful.

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!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lorie's cottage! The cottage was incredibly clean and well-stocked with everything we needed and more. Despite the first two days being cold and rainy, we had a fantastic time indoors, spending quality time with our kids playing board games and doing puzzles. Once the weather improved, we took full advantage of the lake. The water was warm and perfect for swimming, and we loved having access to kayaks, a pedal boat, and paddle boards. It's the ideal place for a peaceful escape, and we would highly recommend Lorie's cottage to anyone looking for a quiet retreat.

really lovely location on the lake. well equipped place. the vies of the lake is incredible. we took the canoe out in the evening and the morning and was just amazing! definitely recommend it to get away from the hustle and bustle

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

This was probably the best Airbnb we have stayed at to date. Cannot say enough good things about the place! Modern, beautifully decorated, incredibly clean, attention to all the little details, quiet and peaceful, and the dock… that was our favorite part. We had 4 relaxing days on our baby moon here and are already talking about returning. Communication was so quick (within minutes), the hosts were accommodating and a pleasure to communicate with. Thank you for making our baby moon so memorable! We will be back!

Thank you Tony for hosting us at your cottage. The place is beautiful and has that cottage feel from the moment you walk in. Perfect size too. The location is out of a post card. Loved the river at the back of the property. Tony is a great host. He contacted us before checking in and offered us to check in and out anytime we wanted to, muck earlier check in and much later check out. We didn't need to but was great knowing we had that option. We loved our stay and looking forward to coming back in the near future.

Had a really lovely weekend at Mei and Sean’s cottage. The cottage is very cute, clean and was exactly as described in the listing. Mei and Sean were great hosts. They were very friendly, proactive and helpful. They provided very clear directions on how to get to the cottage which was appreciated. We were 2 families (9 people) and were very comfortable….plenty of space to stretch out. Loved the option to have open or covered patio, and made good use of the kayaks. We hope to visit again someday. Thanks again for a great long weekend!

We had an incredible time at this cottage. If we had more time left in Canada we would have planned another visit in the summer.

We had a great stay at Jonathan’s place! Everything was just as described, Jonathan was quick to respond all of our questions. The kitchen amenities were top notch, it had everything we needed to prepare all of our meals. We also really enjoyed the new bbq grill. The location was easy to find. The house has an amazing view of the lake, which is great for swimming and kayaking. I’d definitely recommend Jonathan’s place!

Our stay at Wren Lake was amazing. The cottage is on a small hill that overlooks a cove in the lake. The dock was very spacious, which was perfect for relaxing and tanning outside. We loved all the water toys!!! The cottage itself was slightly smaller than we anticipated, but it made for a cozy and more comfortable stay. The spaces were very clean, and organized. We all particularly enjoyed the black out curtains located in each room! With Dorset less than 12 minutes away, it made our stay more convenient and easy. Michelle was very responsive and a very awesome host :) We would all recommend Michelles cottage, it is perfect for a quiet, and relaxing stay away with friends or family.

Ashley is a gem and her place is truly a diamond. Her place was absolutely pristine (and I am super picky about the cleanliness of any place I stay in) - she had all the amenities and her whole place looks like it’s straight out of a magazine. Her cottage is in a beautiful and quiet area, giving us some real serenity from the city life. Although our stay was short it was truly perfect and we would love to come back especially during the fall when the leaves turn colour.

Our recent trip to an Airbnb in Algonquin Park was unforgettable. The stunning natural surroundings and the comfortable, well-appointed cottage made for a fantastic experience. The setting was exceptional—right on the lake, with convenient access to kayaking, swimming, and hiking. We cherished quiet mornings sipping coffee on the dock. The cottage was both cozy and spotless, blending rustic charm with modern amenities to create a true cabin-in-the-woods atmosphere while still offering all the comforts of home. While nearly everything was perfect, there are a couple of minor improvements that could further enhance the experience: Having a greater supply of dishwasher-safe dishes, cups, and mugs would be appreciated. We found ourselves needing to handwash some glasses and cups, which was a bit inconvenient. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this cottage to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat in Algonquin Park.

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.

Had an amazing weekend at The Boathouse! The views were amazing and The Boathouse was so cute and homey! My boyfriend and I spent an entire day on the late in a canoe and absolutely loved it. Cindy was very helpful and proactive, even allowing us to checkout a little later! We will definitely be back!

We had a peaceful weekend gateway in this beautiful and cozy cabin. The cabin had everything we needed for our stay, it was spotless and well-equipped. Desmond was very responsive and he even allowed us a late checkout without us even asking and we were able to enjoy the surrounding a little more. We enjoyed every moment in this private and peaceful cabin into the woods and would love to come back 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.

We stayed at cabin #1 during October 11-13 weekend. We loved this place. Very clean, cute cabin, worth the price. Amy was very quick to respond. There are kayaks, canoes to use, firepit, bbq grill. We had awesome experience. I am looking forward to book it again. I highly recommend this place for with kids trip. There is beautiful playground by the beach.

Our stay at Otter Lake was relaxing and enjoyable. Photos don't do this cottage justice, it was extremely spacious for us (4 adults and 1 pet). We spent most of our time swimming in the lake, bbqing, sitting on the dock or around the fire pit. The lake is soooo peaceful and when we arrived we were greeted by a loon 🥹. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat, thank you for your hospitality, Taylor!

My mum and I went to Meng/George’s cozy cottage for a little weekend getaway and we had a wonderful time! Being right on the water was truly amazing. The cottage also had everything we needed. Meng/George were great to communicate with and were very responsive. We will definitely be back. Would highly recommend this place as well!
