Family-friendly holiday rentals in Bayfield

Paul’s house is lovely. He and Karen are very responsive. They answered our questions in a prompt manner. The place is very spacious - which we appreciated. Bathrooms and bedrooms were very neat and clean. Overall, felt like home away from home. We weee disappointed because there was an issue with the bbq and we had planned our meals around it. The host did reimburse us $100 for the inconvenience.

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!

This was our second stay at this home in Desboro. It is the perfect retreat - quiet, space, an extremely cozy (but not small) home. We were happy to be there in a snow storm with a fire, snowshoes, and pingpong!

100% recommend this spot for large parties of people. Comfortable, furnished bedrooms with linens provided and an extremely stocked kitchen with everything you could need to make any meal. Everything was very clean and had a spot to return to make clean up easy. It was very quiet and private with tons of parking. Large yard for outdoor activities made for a great gathering area. Pack your bug spray however! The privacy of the trees and close location to a river makes for lots of mosquitos. 5 stars!

We had a great family vacation with two little kids. We felt right at home in the spacious home, and utilized the 8 person dining room table for meals. The beach, coffee shop, restaurants, ice cream stand and shops are all within a two block walking distance. When not at the beach, the large covered patio was where we gathered to watch the kids run around. It was very private and we hope to go again next year.

Our second stay at Relive for romantic weekend. The yurts were great, we tried this first. This chalet offers more amenities shower, tv with dvd's and is well stocked with all kitchen appliances for different experience on same property. Laundry including dryer were appreciated for wet towels after sauna or hot tub. Hosts are thoughtful and responsive if you need anything. Several yurts on property but all spread out so still very private. The back porch and swinging chairs were wonderful for reading. Beautiful peaceful forest setting. We brought our yoga mats to use on outdoor deck or indoors ( big bay windows and lots of sunlight in main room). Short hikes on property or longer ones at hoggs falls 15 min away. Fireplaces/firepits made it xtra cozy. Thanks Millenia and Johnny!

Therese and Jim were awesome hosts and their property was amazing. Everything was as expected and our time there was awesome. Highly recommend this for any large group.

Everything was exactly as described. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the clean space Jo-Anne had set up. The spacious backyard was a favourite for everyone. This cottage has everything needed for any length of stay. Would easily book with Jo-Anne again!

We had an excellent week at Sara's property. The house was clean and provided everything we need. The yard and property was beautiful, green and lush and private. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet and everyone was super friendly. We had a great week!

Very nice remodelled old century home, comfortable beds and beautiful patio setting to have your coffee in the morning. Super nice folks, welcomed us as we arrived and gave us local recommendations and left us to enjoy the space and town. Highly recommend staying here if you're exploring the region.

I stayed for 3ish months. Flat worked very well for my stay. Would highly recommend if you have a dog as there’s a lovely and large backyard. Bed was very comfortable and I enjoyed cooking in the kitchen. Good, quiet, convenient neighbourhood, the upstairs tenants are wonderful, and Jennifer (host) is extremely responsive. Smaller bedroom is quieter as you can hear pipes from upper flat in the larger bedroom. I had only one issue with bad flooding during a high rain period. Jennifer was responsive, and sent someone to deal with it early the next morning. Once we spoke about it she then gave me an extra night, which I appreciated. She was also understanding and flexible about extensions/changes to checkout. Would stay again and recommend.

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 💓

The house was perfect for our two families to share while in town for a hockey tournament. The place was nice and clean and had everything we needed. The place looks even better than in the photos. Would definitely return

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!

This is a great place to stay for couples or families with kids! We visited with our young kids and parents. The apartment is nicely laid out as the bedrooms don’t share a wall so it’s private. The front bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, nice for privacy for the parents. The host is quick to respond to any questions. It’s lovely to have milk, juice and bread and eggs etc waiting for you in the fridge on arrival after a long day travelling. The location is top notch- walk to the downtown core in 5 minutes and so close to the theatres. Parks just around the block for the kids. The photos of the unit are sparse - the apartment is on the second floor of the house, and the stairs shown are part of the private unit. There are two private small decks, one with a patio table and chairs. Great value, very clean and highly recommended.

This was our second year at Carrie and Dan's cottage and once again my family and I had a fantastic time. The house is perfectly situated on the river with a nice beach and it has all of the amenities needed. Dan communicated regularly and checked in with us to ensure we had everything we needed. This is a beautiful property which anyone would have fun at.

What a quaint place! Was ideal as there are three bathrooms and bedrooms and plenty of common space. Fantastic location - we were able to walk to all of the theatres, shopping and dining. Hosts were great and very friendly and responsive. Will definitely stay here on my next trip to Stratford!

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.

We had a lovely stay at The Heron’s Nest. Gerry & Patty were thoughtful and helpful hosts that made us feel right at home. Our suite was the perfect place for us to call home while visiting for a wedding, with a beautiful view of the river, comfortable amenities and easy access to restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Heron’s Nest.

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.
