Family-friendly holiday rentals in Grand Bend

Paul and Karen are wonderful hosts who were responsive and friendly. The cottage was incredibly clean and well stocked; we truly felt at home. We go to Grand Bend every year for track racing and this place will definitely be our top pick for future race days. The location is wonderful - beautiful scenery and a great place to relax to the sound of waves crashing and we got to take in the gorgeous sunset.

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!

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 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!

Second time here and it was just as nice as the first time! Came with our adult children for a winter getaway over the holidays! The outdoor fire pit and indoor wood fire is great! Thank you Tony and Diane!

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!

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.

We had an incredible weekend staying at the Blyth Brook Cottage. The space was perfect for our quiet and outdoorsy girls weekend. We particularly loved the large open living area ft a BEAUTIFUL large screened-in garage door, the gorgeous scenery and hiking trails, and the beautiful pond and fire pit areas. We really enjoyed having all queen/king beds in 3 different rooms, which worked perfectly for us. Everything was spotlessly clean and beds were super comfortable. We felt right at home. Melanie was a wonderful host who gave very clear and helpful instructions. We enjoyed a delicious meal just down the road at Cowbell, too - def a must if you are at this cottage! We all said multiple times that we would love to come back here during all seasons. It would be absolutely stunning in the fall. Thank you for a phenomenal experience!

This place is a gem! Rose and her family’s hospitality was phenomenal. I was lucky enough to receive a warm welcome from Koda (the dog). The private beach makes for peaceful vacation spot. The icing on the cake was a fire was prepared for us to enjoy on our last night. Will definitely be returning to this spot in the future!! Thank you guys!

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.

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!

The location was perfect with an easy walk to restaurants, shops and the Avon theatre. Our family really appreciated having lots of space for different activities in interests. The quiet let us all get a good night’s sleep.

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.
