Thank you so much for the wonderful stay at Jeffrey Lake Cabin – we absolutely loved it! The place is truly special, and we really appreciated all the thoughtful touches.

Clementine Cottage
Clementine cottage was Everything presented on air b&b and beyond. They thought of all the details and the house was one of the cleanest air b&b’s I have ever stayed at. No harsh chemical smells or fabric softener, linens so comfy. Loved the privacy of the yard and bikes in the garage to get to the lake. One of the Best stays I have had. The hosts are friendly and communicative. Loved our experience and will be back to see friends again.

We LOVED IT!! Definitely coming back when the weather is nicer.

LAKEFRONT COTTAGE! Hot Tub, Spacious Backyard
Description was accurate. The place is nice, great for yard games, hot tub has a private fence. Kitchen is well stocked as well as the bathrooms, extra blankets, linens, fans they have thought of everything. We will rent again for sure. The location is perfect and close to everything.

Hideaway: Upscale Victorian Coach House
Absolutely stunning, beautiful and exactly as described. The coach house was beautifully decorated and spotless. We used the hot tub and it was very refreshing after our hike. We highly recommend Kieran & Tara’s place to anyone.

Up The Creek A-Frame Cottage
Beautiful spot, highly recommend! Just what I needed for a few days away.

The Knotty Pine - Relaxing Lakefront Cottage
we had a wonderful stay - and so appreciate the dog friendly approach so we could enjoy a week on the water with our pups!

Loonsong Cottage
We went up for the fall colors and had a very enjoyable stay. The view of the lake is beautiful during the day. Without light from nearby towns we could see shooting stars at night. The cottage was exactly as described. Cute, well stocked and very clean. Being older it does have some minor quirks, but nothing that took away from our visit. These were also communicated in the description. The home is very dog friendly. The fenced in yard is great. The fact that it's in the front of the yard means it doesn't interfere the lake view or access. The inside also has retractable gates if you wish to restrict your dog access to rooms as well. Kaitlin quickly responded to all of my questions. She also has a very thoughtful and detailed binder for local attractions in the area. There is only a Dollar Store and small food market in town, so you will need to the next town if you need more than convenience items. The pizza at Smokey's Restaurant & Tavern was really good!

Rowan Cottage Co. on Oak Lake
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!

Resort-Style Luxury Waterfront Cottage
We booked this cottage on a whim with virtually no notice to the owner who was flexible with our check-in making it worth our 1 night stay. The cottage is so spacious with lots of room to lounge, eat and sleep. It was clean and comfortable. The waterfront is the real MVP here - pristine water, pure sand, great doc and decks.

Ultimate Georgian Bay Vacation Getaway
Lovely little getaway. Beautiful views. Very clean and well appointed. Great communication with Janna and fast responses. Welcome booklet was very helpful and we even ordered pizza for delivery on our arrival (as recommended ).

Port Talbot Shore Stay
Always love staying here. It’s so beautiful, right on the shores of Lake Erie and at the mouth of the Talbot Creek. It’s so private, like your very own private world. Swimming, kayaking and canoeing, hiking, camp fires on the beach, or do nothing at all-and so much more. It’s South Ontario’s secret getaway.

St. Jacobs Triangle House - Countryside Escape
Absolutely 10/10 recommend the Triangle House. We just stayed here with our nearest and dearest for our wedding weekend and felt so at home. The house is gorgeous, minimally and tastefully decorated but full of amenities. We had everything we needed for a comfortable check-in and stay. Hosts were friendly and provided thorough instructions. We will return in the future!

Cedar Creek Cottage lakefront near Boyne City
Such a beautiful place to stay. My Grandpa owned this property in the 70's and my family was happy to see how well maintained the cottage is and the nature that surrounds it. It was such a blessing for us to come back and visit. Thank you for taking such good care of it.

Niagara Dreamhouse on the Lake|Private Sandy Beach
Thank you so much for a fantastic stay! The place was exactly as described—very clean, comfortable, and in a perfect location for a relaxing getaway. Communication was excellent throughout. Highly recommended!

Highlands Lakefront | Dock | Screened Room | Sauna
Not only was the cottage & property absolutely breathtaking, Kimberly was great at responding to any questions I had leading up to our trip and gave us a great tip on navigating the drive up. She also provided a variety of basic condiments, spices, all the bath towels, and kitchen utensils you would need so we were really able to feel comfortable and make this place feel like home away from home for the weekend. They also provided clear, fool-proof instructions on starting up the sauna and indoor fireplace. Would 100% recommend to others & book again for myself! Thank you Kimberly!

Waterfront 3 BR Cottage 4 Seasons Gravenhurst A/C
We had a great stay at Jonathan’s place! Everything was just as described, Jonathan was quick to respond all of our questions. The kitchen amenities were top notch, it had everything we needed to prepare all of our meals. We also really enjoyed the new bbq grill. The location was easy to find. The house has an amazing view of the lake, which is great for swimming and kayaking. I’d definitely recommend Jonathan’s place!

Scenic Lakefront Near Ski/Golf with Hot Tub
This cottage was so cute & cozy, and was fully stocked with amenities. They had a full coffee bar, fun games to play inside, cornhole for outside, kayaks, paddle boards and a paddle boat, and so much more. We spent our whole time outside enjoying the beautiful scenery and quietness. It was so relaxing and I would definitely recommend staying here, to friends and family. Plus downtown Gaylord was only a 10 minute drive away!

Gorgeous Views, Sweeping Valley, Amazing Sunsets
This was the nicest rental I have ever stayed in! The quality of everything was top of the line, and Joe and Kelly spared absolutely NO expense to make this space truly fabulous. From the quality of the appliances and furniture, to the beautiful details in every room, to the handwritten card welcoming us and local chocolate and wine (which were delicious)...there was absolutely not a thing that could have made our stay better (other than staying longer!). We saw rabbits, tons of birds, turkey vultures, hawks, deer, chipmunks, and squirrels, and enjoyed seeing the animals in their natural environment. What a spectacular view! My boyfriend (whose birthday we were celebrating) said it was the nicest house he's ever been in, period. If you're a fan of FL Wright, you will adore this house and all the details that show the love and appreciation for his work. We will most definitely come back, it was worth every penny! Thank you, Joe and Kelly, for being as amazing as your cabin! :)

Higgins Lakefront Apres Beach Cottage
Anita was an amazing host! She responded very quickly to any questions we had throughout our stay. The pictures do not do this place justice, it’s more beautiful in person. It was immaculately clean and had everything we needed. Coffee pot, toaster, cookware, they thought of everything. Even had extra sunscreen the bathroom. The beach area was also very clean and well stocked, we enjoyed going out on the kayaks. It was the perfect setting to exhale and escape the world for a week on our own private beach. We will definitely be booking with Anita again!

Lily's Pad at Hicks Lake -Always On Lake Time
This place was a real find! It was quiet, cozy, comfortable and relaxing. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. I have already booked this cottage for October and can’t wait to go back!
