Holiday rentals with lake access in North America

Great space, tucked away in the woods. Nice amenities on a great lake in Fort Scott. Spacious, clean, peaceful and very comfortable. Did our annual father-son fishing trip here. Fishing wasn't great because of the weather, but based on how many boats we saw in the area, must be a good spot. Would stay again. Boys had a great time too.

Excellent stay. Location is great. Host was very communicative-had one question when arrived and got an immediate response. Airbnb has uniquely large outdoor space (for such a central location). Loved lounging on outdoor daybed swing and using hot tub. Pup loved the fenced backyard (yes it’s fully fenced-I was not 100 percent sure from one pic). We had a great time and would recommend..

What an absolute gem of a stay. The property is impeccably maintained and so beautiful. The guests house that we stayed in was so comfortable and very clean. The bed is quite possibly the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on. The pool and the hot tub are perfect. The doggo’s are super sweet and lovable. Danielle and the rest of the team are all very smart and a pleasure to talk with. We will definitely be referring the place to our friends and will be back ourselves every year as long as it’s available.

Our stay at Dale’s place was fantastic, making for a memorable golfing and fishing getaway. The house was very clean, well-stocked, and the beds were comfortable. The fantastic lake view added to the charm, and its convenient location put us close to a good selection of restaurants and bars, many of which Dale thoughtfully recommended. While we would have loved to enjoy the fresh air through screened windows, the A/C units worked perfectly, keeping the space comfortable. If you are planning a golf outing, be sure to check out Osage National Golf Course, just a 30-minute drive away; it’s a great course!

I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The house was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything I needed. The location was great and made getting around easy and convenient. My host was friendly, responsive, and made sure I felt welcome from the moment I arrived. I really appreciated the attention to detail and thoughtful touches throughout the home. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thank you for a great experience!

Absolutely loved this house! The house was clean neat and tidy. Located in a beautiful neighborhood. I could have lived on the patio! Definitely a great find being our first time in the Peoria area. If we ever find ourselves back in town this will be our place to stay 😊

This was a long overdue get together with my adult siblings. The place couldn’t have been more perfect for spending a weekend together. The kitchen had everything, it was cozy, plenty of places to chat, hang out, play cards and dominos. Four bedrooms and the whole place was beautiful with a Koi pond, covered patio, Fireplace. I really can’t say enough good things about our stay. Jennifer was very responsive when we had a question. We will definitely be going back. A+ for this experience.

I believe this is one of the best and most peaceful places we've ever stayed! it's just absolutely beautiful and serene! You wake up to the lake, eat breakfast, walk out on the dock, ride the kayaks, paddle boats, fish, etc. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and lake fun setting! My grandson absolutely loved it and thanked me over and over for taking him there! I wish we could have stayed longer but we are on a road trip and relocating back home to N.C.

It was a beautiful setting. Attached to the winery but on the back side so we had privacy too.

My husband and I stayed here right after our wedding. Just a little getaway after all the fun and craziness. The Airbnb was beautiful and exactly like described in the description and photos! It had a sauna, a beautiful bathroom with a separate shower and tub, and a beer on tap, which was a fun little bonus! The balcony was our favorite part. We sat outside in the mornings with a coffee and enjoyed the views (and honestly the people watching lol). The lake is literally across the street and the 3 minute walk was awesome. Overall a wonderful experience! Highly recommend if you need a quick getaway or want to treat yourself to a more “high tech” luxury apartment 🥰

Words can hardly capture the magic of Cathy’s BnB in Wasaga. From the moment we pulled into the driveway, we knew we were about to experience something special. This isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a destination in itself, a beautifully curated space that feels like stepping into the pages of an artist’s journal. The first thing that struck us was the atmosphere — peaceful, welcoming, and infused with personality. Every inch of the property is meticulously thought out and bursting with creativity. You can feel Cathy’s heart in every detail. It’s clear that this isn’t just a business for her — it’s a lifelong passion project rooted in artistry and hospitality. Cathy’s background in the arts and event world shines through in the most delightful ways. If you’re looking for something more than just a rental, if you want to stay somewhere that feeds your soul as much as it rests your body, Cathy’s BnB is it. Thank you so much for our stay!

Very clean and the location is excellent and if you have any questions they respond quickly

The location was great and Dayna was an excellent host. We really enjoyed sitting on the covered balcony overlooking the lake.

Amazing stay! Took the time to go on the canoe multiple days. If you like going fishing, you can’t get closer to water than this. Amazing price for what we got! I just wish there were some more extra blankets (only 1) and a couple different sized bowls (like mixing or popcorn bowls). Neighbors were super friendly and would always wave.

Paula's place was exactly as described, absolutely beautiful, clean, and has all the little extras. Extremely responsive and very helpful, we go down once a year and will absolutely look to stay here again!

Absolutely fantastic place to stay! The view is amazing and the studio unit had everything you could want. The bathroom was huge and had a jetted soaker tub. While we visited during a thunderstorm, I will definitely be back to use the kayaks!! Super friendly hosts would definitely recommend.

Beautiful place to stay and the pond was amazing. They have paddle boats and you can fish. The fishing is great. Very peaceful, clean, relaxing. We had extra guests and made the place work with air mattresses. We thoroughly enjoyed it!

This was a beautiful location, the home was very comfortable. The host was very polite and responsive. I would recommend staying here to anyone looking for a peaceful stay in a cabin on a river.

We were on our honeymoon and was a perfect getaway for us to relax! We really enjoyed the amenities and extremely clean living space. A few of our favorite parts of the stay were chilling on the porch swing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing. We would highly recommend this to anybody who wants a private and romantic getaway!

I would highly recommend the Honey Bee Cottage to anyone who is looking for a place to stay in Champaign - Urbana. The hosts were very kind and welcoming from the start. The place was beautiful, tranquil, and very clean. It made my time in the area all the more enjoyable and memorable. If you're looking for a comforting place to stay, this is it!

We felt right at home. We especially enjoyed the added details such as the massage chair and spa like products in the bathroom. Very peaceful and serene view of the lake with lake access. We would love to come back during the winter and make use of the wood burning stove :)

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The cottage and scenery was beautiful. It was such a peaceful weekend retreat. Wendy was a great host!

Perfect size for a couple retreat! Very peaceful. Minor issue but host was very proactive and helpful! Super cozy feelings and was very cute inside and out + cute outside (wild) cats! Short walk to the public lake area, which was great! Overall great experience and would rent again!!

Beautiful cottage, beautiful location. We loved all the outdoor furniture & outdoor areas. The home has everything you need for a perfect stay. We lived on the dock & sun deck. It has the perfect dock for sunsets & golden hour dips. We prefer a charcoal grill to blackstone but we opted to use the gas stove. The sheets were so great I will be searching for them for my home
