Holiday rentals with a kayak in Carlow/Mayo

Lovely place! Quiet and beautiful.. Great host and would definitely recommend to others.

My family and I stayed here and loved our stay! This place is beautiful! The design and decor of this place is well thought out and is incredibly well done. The lake view is breathtaking. The little things that they have done (for example: gift basket, stocked kitchen, game room, firewood readily available for bonfire, etc) is what make this place outstanding. The owner is friendly, communicates well and clearly, and definitely cares to make sure your stay is comfortable. My family and I loved staying here, and we definitely recommend this place for everyone else to book and enjoy!

This place is a true find! We went there with 10 women looking for a weekend of laughter and relaxation and we got exactly what we wanted. The fire pit, hot tub, sauna, and decks were beautiful and comfortable, even in November. The interior easily slept 10 of us. The kitchen was fully stocked with what we needed to prepare great food. The living area was big and suitable for a large group. Our favourite place was the big table where we sat and talked, played games, had a few drinks, and laughed. The place was as we expected it to be and we had no issues. We definitely would come back again!

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!

We had a great time at this cottage. Very private with all the amenities you could ask for. It’s a 10 outta 10! I think the only thing that we would suggest is having a picnic table in the yard which would take it from a 10 to 11! Thanks again to our wonderful hosts. This is truly an amazing location.

Absolutely lovely spot! We had such a relaxing time here. There was lots to do; kayaking, fishing off the dock, board games, Roku and more. Such a cozy vibe- we are definitely adding it to our list for future getaways. Kees was a great host; very easy to follow instructions and had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Amazing stay!! We were blown away by just how beautiful and thoughtful the cottage amenities were. The decor is like a luxury hotel - everything is brand new and perfect. We appreciated all the different outdoor spaces and made use of the dock, the deck, the fire pit and the hot tub. Despite the terrible weather, we still had lots to do and felt like a dream getaway. Can't wait to go back again!

Best getaway place to spend a peaceful weekend. Lisa was very responsive and always available whenever we messaged her. The location is very beautiful, I just wish we booked this place in June to enjoy swimming in the lake.

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

Thank you for an excellent weekend! My friends and I stayed at Foad’s cottage and it was beautiful! We enjoyed the hot tub and game room very much. Foad was always very quick to respond and the description of the property was very accurate. I recommend Foad’s cottage to all! Thanks again!

Our stay at Chris' cottage was fantastic. The place was exactly as advertised, super clean with a great dock for fishing and lots of outdoor activities for our busy kids. Check in and check out were easy and the host was very responsive and helpful.

We stayed at Cherry’s for two nights with a group of 8 adults and 2 small dogs, and the experience exceeded our expectations. The home was beautifully decorated, clean, and felt warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Cherry was a fantastic host—friendly and quick to respond to any questions we had. There was plenty of space for all of us to hang out comfortably, whether we were relaxing on the porch, enjoying the BBQ area, gathering in the dining space, or unwinding in the cozy family room. The kitchen was impressively well-stocked with everything we needed, which made cooking and group meals super easy. We also loved the private dock and the scenic trail leading to it—though it was too chilly to swim, it’s definitely a highlight for warmer months. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would absolutely recommend Cherry’s place to others looking for a relaxing and comfortable getaway.

Great cottage for larger groups! Enjoyed the variety of games provided on site. Huge yard for lots of space to play, Dock is secure and has some built in seating. Offers great views while standing around the fire. Walk to fire pit was further away from house then we liked (our only complaint). Bathrooms on each floor was a bonus. Beds on top floor are bigger then the pictures for the bedroom without the balcony. If you have larger group bring lots of bottled water. Signs for a Marina just before getting to the cottage offer ice, wood $10/bag, kindling, snacks, etc.

We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage, we felt at home and we had everything we needed for our stay! Beautiful place to stay and we will definitely rent again!

This cottage was amazing. The place was entirely as described and the prior reviews were spot on. Roxana was very helpful, gave tons of recommendations and was very kind and responsive. Kitchen was well stocked, the beds were super comfortable, the AC was perfect and I literally can’t think of a single critique. A really nice touch with the s’mores station that my kid basically ate all of. We will definitely be back!!

We had such a wonderful time staying at Rowan Cottage! It was my husband and I with our little Boston Terrier and everything was perfect! The place was spotless when we got there and the instructions to check in were very easy to navigate. The place felt brand new. It was just the right amount of space for us. It is a fairly private area and the waters were very peaceful, not a lot of traffic on the water at all! The views from the cottage were amazing - perfect for the morning coffee! Appliances were great, and the washroom was so clean. There were awesome board games and vinyl records to jam to. As well as a Bluetooth speaker to connect. We were never bored! For anyone looking to visit, there are a fair bit of mosquitos so remember bug spray! Overall an amazing experience and highly recommend!

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!

I stayed at this property for 3 nights with my wife and cat. It’s one of the most beautiful properties I have seen in Ontario and I highly recommend it! Darrnel was a lovely host and super responsive with any of our queries and requests! The neighbours are friendly too along with their dog Dakota. Would love to visit again.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful cottage! The place was spotless, cozy, and exactly as described. The kitchen was well-stocked, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the view from the deck was stunning. We especially appreciated the little touches like the, family friendly games, fast Wi-Fi, and detailed welcome guide. Whether you’re looking to relax in the hot tub, kayak on the lake, or just unwind in a peaceful setting, this cottage has it all. The hosts were friendly, responsive, and made sure everything went smoothly. We can’t wait to come back!

This was my second time visiting Andrew’s place in the fall. It is absolutely gorgeous this time of year. The cottage itself is clean & cozy. All necessary amenities are included. Will be back again!

My husband and I stayed at this beautiful cottage to celebrate our anniversary. We live about an hour and a half drive from this place and it was very easy to find. Although our stay was short, it was so special. The beach is shared with other cottages but it was not being used by others during our stay which was nice. There’s a few fire pits for use too on the beach with wood provided by the host which was so lovely. We didn’t swim bc it was too cold but there were also a ton of water toys to use such as kayaks and paddle boards. The cottage itself is completely private and so so so charming. The place was so clean and had a ton of amenities you really don’t have to bring anything other than your own food. My husband and I agreed we must return in the future!!!

My partner and our dog spent a long weekend at Peter's cabin in the woods in mid-June, and it was perfect! Very private but only a 10 minute drive into Bancroft which had everything we could possibly have needed. Beautiful space (indoor and out) with everything we could have possibly needed. It's a perfect location for a weekend getaway! There was a booklet with clear instruction on the wood-burning fire, generator and battery, and the water situation, as well as a map of the property. We tried getting to 'beach 2' but there wasn't a clear path and couldn't find it, but the main beach was a 5 minute walk away and was beautiful, Completely private, sandy, and with clear water that was great to swim/float around in. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet weekend getaway, and will almost definitely come back. Just make sure you keep the bug spray nearby!

Great stay if you are looking for a peaceful getaway.

We had an amazing time here! From the moment we arrived, it was peaceful and quaint. Walking in to cabin, it was far better than our expectations and the pictures posted. The big windows and open concept kitchen/dining/living room was amazing! We could see and hear nature without having to be in nature. Caitlin was a great host! Super attentive, friendly and responsive when we reached out. We will definitely be back! Would recommend this cabin a million times over!
