Family-friendly holiday rentals in Port Stanley

Darryl and Allyson’s Lakehouse was the perfect place for a weekend getaway with friends. It’s clean and comfortable with everything we needed to enjoy ourselves, and we even got to enjoy a Lake Huron sunset from the upper deck. Darryl and Allyson are responsive and honest and generally great hosts. We’ll be back!

A beautiful, quiet, very well maintained oasis, overlooking gorgeous Lake Huron! Excellent location, between Grand Bend and Bayfield, for day trips and restaurants, if desired. Very well stocked kitchen; comfortable, tastefully decorated and spotless home ( the view!) We really enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub! Johnny is a super responsive and helpful host!

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this Airbnb and couldn’t be happier with our experience! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The property was exactly as described—if not better—and it was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay.

We had a fabulous stay at Tanya's! It was comfortable, it was clean, it was very serviceable for our group. Tanya was very responsive to any communication, getting back to me quickly and with answers to any question I had. Highly recommend this location and this host!

Spacious home with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We really enjoyed our time here. Quiet little community made it feel peaceful and relaxing.

We stayed at Kathryn and Gus’s place for a month and really loved it. It’s an entire house surrounded by nature. The property overlooks a small lake near a hiking trail. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. Kathryn and Gus were great hosts. They were friendly, responsive, and had great recommendations for restaurants and places to see. We enjoyed relaxing on the cozy couch in front of the fireplace. We would love to come back again!

Great communication It resembled the picture Was comfortable and clean.

It was a one night stop but the place felt cozy and homey and had everything we needed. The bed is so comfortable too. Its located in a countryside area and it’s absolutely beautiful. We met Gary briefly as we arrived and he was very nice!

Rose is an amazing host! Her and her husband did so many extra special touches to make are staying awesome 👌 the place is great and the private beach incredible! Koda is a cutie 💓

We had the most amazing stay at Kristina's cottage! Very accommodating and thoughtful details made our visit extra special. Location can't be beat, falling asleep listening to the waves on the beach is heaven. 10/10 recommend!

Very comfortable stay for our family of four. Clean, super well-equipped. Good communication w/ hosts and a clear, helpful guide. Especially enjoyed having a cozy living room to gather in with a cheery fireplace. Highly recommended.

We had such a lovely stay at Charlene’s place this past weekend. The place was very clean and tidy, with access to a beautiful private beach with a spectacular view. It was nice and quiet in the evening with access to warm water at all times. Great location as well, along with the private beach, this place is very close to Grand Bend strip & the Pinery market. Overall a beautiful stay, would definitely like to come back next summer!

A clean and bright space accented by many sky lights. It is close to many restaurants, stores and the Avon theatre. Hope to return next year to again enjoy visiting Stratford!

We had such a great experience staying at Terry’s place. The home is beautiful, peaceful, and full of character, it honestly brought a whole new charm to my parents’ trip to Canada. They absolutely loved it and kept saying how it felt like a highlight of their visit. Terry herself was an amazing host, super supportive, kind, and always easy to communicate with. She went out of her way to make sure everything went smoothly, and I really appreciated that. Can’t recommend this place enough, and I’d definitely love to stay here again in the future!

We travel to Stratford every year and have done so for about 30 years. We have stayed in a variety of accommodations over the years! We prefer Air BnBs over hotels, and because we travel in a group (we were 8), this location matched our needs perfectly. We like to park the car when we arrive and not use it again until we leave (Stratford is fantastically walkable) -- no problem! We like to try different restaurants -- the location is perfect for that (and for attending theatre). We're close family, but we also like some alone time -- with four bedrooms for 8 people, this apartment offered that! The apartment was large, open and bright with basic amenities suitable for our 2 night stay. The beds were comfortable, and the shared areas were roomy enough for us to gather. The hosts were amazingly responsive -- they provided detailed and accurate info ahead of time, and quickly answered our questions.

The weekend was phenomenal, the amenities were fantastic and well-managed. The only downsides were that it was fairly apparent that the local bylaws greatly impacted the place with some unreasonable asks. For example, they required every tenant's name, age, phone, email and home address. Per the Short-Term Rental bylaw, only the number of tenants and adults for the Short-Term Rental are required. Outside of these couple of inconveniences, we had a great time and would definitely be back.

We had stayed at another cabin on the property before and we loved it. Mark, Melanie and the entire staff were helpful, friendly, and wonderful! We will always visit them at Willowlake in one form or another. The cottage was so clean upon arrival which was impressive! The only possible downsides would be the dumpsters being right next to the cottage (however smells weren’t an issue while we were there, your patio is on the other side of the cottage) and the staff trailer door was really close to our fire pit so it didn’t feel private or secluded (but the staff were great so that didn’t bother us). The one downside that was a pickle for us was the side door entry. Immediately upon entering the cottage there are stairs going down to the kitchen. We have a four year old so those stairs were a concern but within two days we were used to them and managed to finagle entry better. Overall it was a great experience and they will see us back at Willowlake next summer!

We had a great weekend. This is not the kind of place some airbnbs have become -- a hotel experience. Instead it had an authenticity and humility that we loved. The horses and other animals were fantastic, and the space was very comfortable. We would love to go back again.
