Fitness-friendly holiday rentals in Lake Simcoe

Wendy's place is super comfortable and quiet since it's on the high floor of an apartment building. It is safe and secure with some restaurants nearby, within 7-minute walk, if you don't feel like driving somewhere for meals sometimes. She is super friendly and gave us a lot of local recommendations such as restaurants, supermarkets and bakeries. The location is ideal if you are interested in some day tours. Her place is across the street from Hilton Markham where we simply walked over and hopped on the tour bus, visiting the Niagara Falls one day. She communicated with us promptly prior to and during our stay, making sure we had everything we needed to make our trip enjoyable. Great job Wendy!

Hands down the best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in After almost three years of Airbnbs around the world, this one in Canada tops them all. We stayed in both the Lookout (the little house) and the Pine Lodge (above the store)—and didn’t want to leave. The Lookout felt like a cozy sanctuary: garden, sauna, spotless, fully equipped. The Pine Lodge had a steam room (huge bonus!), comfy couches, a big dining table, and a fire always going. But what made it truly special were Krystal and Madison—the kindest, most caring hosts we’ve ever had. It felt like arriving at friends’, not strangers’. During a freak ice storm, they moved us to a backup-powered house and even brought us food. Just wow. Local tips: • Cawaja Store: best coffee, insane ice cream, and local broths, pies, soups. • Mums Restaurant: old-school diner, fresh, cooked-to-order food. • The Friendly Corner: lovely for sunny outdoor meals.

This was our second stay at this well kept, conveniently located home. Comfortable furniture and beds. Breakfast foods generously provided.

I enjoyed my time there. Everything went smoothly

Excellent host, excellent place, couldnt recommend him highly enough..... I'm a repeat customer and it was equally as good both times...... Sami has maintained the place perfectly and 18 months later it looks just as clean and tidy, so book with confidence.

Sean is very Friendly and Professional. He responds to messages quickly. He is an amazing host where he is checking in on us ensuring if we needed anything he is only a phone call away. We have been going to the Resort for years. Easy to get too, very peaceful and the Units are so simple but nice. Not many places take pets but Sean's does which helped us alot. The beds are super comfortable, probably the best sleep I have had in a long time. Kitchen was equipped with everything we needed for our Stay. The Kids loved the gym to work out and then we spend quite a few hours at the pool. The fire pit was nice to sit at especially with the chilly weekend we just had. We will be back for sure to be Sean's Guest.

Quiet and clean place to stay.

Beautiful apartment and walkable. Directions were very easy to follow and neighborhood feels very safe.

We really enjoyed our stay and made use of the skiing and spa amenities in the area!

This was my second time staying at Haoan’s place. The microwave wasn’t working, but when I called him, he brought a new one right away. What a great host! Thanks, Haoan’s!"

This place was so nice to stay at. It’s super worth the money I paid. The apartment has everything you need and it’s really comfortable too. It’s close to grocery stores and there are walkable restaurants downstairs also. The hosts were also very helpful! I would 100% consider staying here again.

We had a great stay at Thomas' place. He met us at check in, showed us the building, parking and any details we needed to know. He was very responsive, provided early check in, and coordinated parking spots for both our vehicles. The place was very clean and quiet. We would definitely stay again!

Amazing place, besides the location, the apartment was very nice to enjoy Robert was very helpful and responded fast

Great spot to stay close to lots of activities and amenities in Horseshoe Valley. Hosts were very friendly, helpful and responsive, appreciated their flexibility on our check-in and the nice added touches for furry friends.

Apart from the unhelpful concierge and difficult on foot instructions to access the lock key, our stay was absolutely perfect. The apartment suited our needs and there was plenty of space to work and relax. The bedroom with the ensuite didn't have any closet space so one of us had to use the closet in the hallway. Not a massive deal for 6 nights stay, but it might be a little frustrating if you have a longer stay. There was plenty of amenities and the kitchen was stocked well with cutlery, pots and pans. The apartment had a nice ambience, clean and welcoming and was also quiet. The gym was a fab bonus which we made use of most of the days. The subway was within 6-7 minutes walk, which made our trips into downtown Toronto a breeze. I would definitely recommend staying here, and would love to do so if we come back to Toronto.

Jun is an amazing host and very kind. The place is actually a lot bigger than the pictures show. The unit is a corner unit and has extremely tall windows and ceiling. Would recommend to anyone who’s looking for a very clean and quiet place to stay in.

This house was exactly as advertised. It was very nicely furnished very clean, and the neighborhood was great. Nicole was extremely responsive and very helpful. We would not hesitate to stay here again, and in fact, I’ve already booked our next day.

family of 5 adults, one toddler for a weekend. Playground across the street was great. Good location for quick access to major roads. Quiet. Unit was clean & had what we needed for our visit. Great value!

Very polite and communicative and responsive. The basement of the home is a very nice unit. Very clean. Hosts were excellent and very polite. Would recommend to anyone coming to Oshawa or Whitby area for a lengthy stay (we did 4 days).

We had a delightful stay at Jasmine’s place. The space was impeccably clean and thoughtfully decorated, making it feel like a true home away from home. Jasmine was an exceptional host—attentive, communicative, and always ready with helpful replies with my questions. I highly recommend her place to anyone visiting the area and would love to return in the future.

We stayed at Tara’s lovely home during our visit to Markham, and could not have been any more pleased with our stay. The entire check in process was simple and clear, Tara was extremely friendly and responsive, and the neighborhood is in a very convenient location. The home itself was very spacious, welcoming and spotless, not to mention it had all the amenities needed during our stay. We highly recommend to anyone staying in the area and would 10/10 return during our next visit to the area. Thanks again Tara!

This place was clean and comfortable! It had lots of space and we enjoyed the comfortable beds and the big tv in the living room. Pascal was also great at communicating and making sure we were all set up. Thank you!

Host was very responsive and attended to our needs accordingly. The place is beautiful especially with the big island, definitely helped with cooking. Big bedrooms and comfortable living space. Would come back again!

We had a truly wonderful stay at Doug’s s place! The home was exactly as described — clean, cozy, and very well maintained. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, making it easy and comfortable for us to settle in. The location was great, and communication with kiki was seamless throughout our stay. She was responsive, kind, and made sure we had everything we needed. We would absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area and would love to stay here again in the future. Thank you for making our trip even more special!
