Holiday rentals with a kayak in The Archipelago

Paula made our stay amazing again! The fire was going and the place was toasty warm. We were lucky enough to be there while the goats were having their babies and Paula let all 5 kids stay out with her for hours. We all had an amazing peaceful weekend. Highly recommend!

Had a lovely stay! Lisa was so accommodating! Beautiful location.

Ginnys place exceeded all expectations! She had a beautiful property that was clean, organized and stocked with every essentials! She was easy to communicate with and we hope to book with her again!

Lovely spot to stay with the family. We had such a nice weekend. Meaford is great place and close to both Owen sound and Collingwood to explore further. The house was comfortable and a great place for our family and dog to relax. It had everything we needed

Absolutely stunning views in a nice, quiet, family oriented cottage location. Derek and Sandra were very nice, super friendly, and were so quick to respond to msgs when needed. The cottage was stocked with all basic essentials and was so clean and fresh. I would definitely stay here again.

We stayed for a few days, such beautiful place and great host. Thank you we will be back

This place was absolutely beautiful! Celebrated my birthday here with my friends and had a blast! This house is clean, massive, and matched the description on the listing! Tara was so sweet and her responses were always quick! The locals were so nice and honestly the area itself was fun to explore! We definitely fell in love with the boat launch across the street and we would definitely come back! Thanks for being such a great host Tara! I’d recommend this house for sure!! :)

Beautiful, spacious and very comfortable. One of the most amazing views I've ever had at a cottage. So many windows that can open to let the beautiful sunshine and breeze in. Fans, AC and heat allowed for perfect temperature control.

We really enjoyed our stay at Dock Cottage. It was modern elegance mixed with warm vintage touches. It had everything we needed to make our stay really comfortable and we loved the dock, hot tub and kayaking on the lake. It was quiet and peaceful and felt far away from everything yet we were an easy walk from Miss Nelle’s coffee shop and ice cream stand where we went each morning for a coffee (opens at 7am), Muskoka Brewing Company for a beer and a few other Baysville shops. The communication and instructions were really helpful and we received prompt replies if we had a question so it felt like we were really taken care of. We will definitely be back and recommend it to friends.

Absolutely beautiful place and so well equipped. I’ve stayed in a lot of Airbnb’s and it’s not an exaggeration to say this is the best equipped one I’ve ever been to. Anything and everything you could think of. It’s also a great space, such incredible views and we loved the hot tub and the kayaks. Christina was an excellent host, brilliant communication and also some lovely welcome treats for our four year old, very cute. We loved our stay. The only thing I would say is if you travel as a party of four adults or older children, beware the light in the summer. The awesome floor to ceiling glass in much of the living room means it was very light very ealry when we visited in June. It didn’t matter as we bought our little one in with us, but something to bear in mind if you aren’t a party who can do that.

This cottage is perfection. Liane & James are just SO lovely. If you're reading this, don't look any further. Just book it. We couldn't have had a better week at Follie's Cove. The cottage was the perfect mix of modern and rustic. Clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped. We felt at home instantly. The sunroom was the perfect chill spot for us and our two big dogs to get out of the sun/rain without feeling cooped up indoors. The beach was heaven for our dogs, and on a quiet end of the lake, so we saw few other people all week. The quintessential Muskoka experience! Liane and James were *beyond* wonderful. They set us up with a ton of breakfast food and desserts. Even offered to return the day after check-in to drop off more coffee. It truly felt like renting from friends. Highly recommend renting the pontoon boat from them and puttering around the lake. Wish I had more space to gush about the space and their incredible hospitality. We would book again in a heartbeat!

On the way up to this beautiful getaway, my wife and I were laughing at how many reviews say "We'll be back" whenever you're looking to travel somewhere and read the reviews prior to booking... We'd say, "How many people actually go back a second or third time?" ... Of course, our main thoughts after our weekend here was we will be coming back 100%. Incredible location, privacy, beautiful lake view as seen in the pictures. The fireplace inside a nice added touch as our weekend was fairly cold, even for May. For those looking to cook, the BBQ is clean and of excellent quality.

We loved the cabin and can't wait to return. Everything was in great working order and squicky clean. Our stay was an absolute pleasure.

Amy’s Airbnb was perfect for our Muskoka getaway, and she was an amazing host! We’d absolutely recommend this place and are already planning to go back!

Loved the location, was a great place for a girls trip away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The bay gets a bit rougher than we expected so we sadly did not get to venture out on the kayaks. The fire pit and hot tub were perfect for evenings relaxing and hanging out. It was very buggy with lots of mosquitos even with the breeze so would recommend bringing repellant options.

We had a wonderful stay! The hosts were incredibly helpful, always quick to respond whenever we had a question, making the experience even better. The location was beautiful, with views of the lake and a lovely dock. The cottage itself was nice and clean when we arrived as well. It was the perfect cozy retreat, and we would definitely stay here again!

Great place if you want some peace and relax in the nature. Will definitely visit again.

I can't thank Tiffany and Pat enough for being amazing hosts and helping me through a difficult time. I stayed there on two separate occasions. The location of the house is right on the lake and sitting and watching the sun rise was beautiful. Narrows Convience Store is down the street and so is Mikisew Provinvial Park. The house has all the amenities (more than any other Airbnb I have stayed at). I would rats it more than 5 stars if I could. Thanks again so much!

We booked the airbnb very last minute and Lixin reached out to us promptly and gave us clear instructions. The cottage is stunning , it actually looks better than the pictures. overall, we had a wonderful weekend over there.

We had a great time here celebrating my son's 6th birthday and Father's Day. Not many places can boast a great little private beach plus a dock, and the fishing off the beach was great. We also saw lots of turtles, including some babies, which were adorable. The beds are super comfortable, as is the living room. We loved having use of the paddle boat to see more of the natural beauty of the lake. Great spot!

Emily was a fantastic owner who immediately dealt with any questions I had. She became a friend, and I would 💯 recommend her apt. for you to stay in. Thanks Emily for all your help and for keeping me informed when your baby was born. Fantastic story about driving through ice storm with trees falling all around you to get a healthy baby boy. People should read story. Belongs in a book.

I highly recommend the Lake House in Dorset/Raven Shores. This cottage was perfectly situated and close to scenic attractions and many trails. The property was picturesque morning, noon, and night. The perfect spot with easy access to the lake. Their customer service and attention to detail is second to none, exceeding my expectations every time. The hosts were readily available and responded quickly. The cottage was warm and Cozy "just like home." It was equipped with everything a family would need and more. We would stay again.

We had an amazing time with the family at this incredible spot! It offers the perfect balance of modern comforts and breathtaking natural beauty. From stunning views to peaceful surroundings, it truly felt like an escape into the heart of the Canadian north. The host was exceptional—always responsive and helpful. We especially appreciated having access to kayaks and canoes, which made our days on the water even more memorable. When we realized we had forgotten a watch, our host kindly mailed it back to us, saving us a long trip—such a thoughtful gesture! We loved it so much that we extended our stay after the first few nights. This is the ideal getaway for anyone looking to relax in nature without giving up modern amenities. We’ll absolutely be back!

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!
