Holiday rentals with a kayak in Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area

This was a wonderful place to stay. It was nice and peaceful, as it was right on the water. With a car, it was near many local restaurants/ cafes so there is lots to do when you drive into town. The house was clean and updated, and we felt very safe. We loved all the amazing details in the house. The host was very friendly and super responsive. We will definitely be back! I highly recommend staying here.

Our stay at Addie's cottage was delightful. The place was clean, well-furnished, and equipped with all the necessary utensils. Both hot and cold water pressure was excellent, creating a cozy and warm atmosphere. The bedrooms were tidy and comfortable. Addie proved to be very responsive and helpful, enhancing our experience. However, we encountered a few minor issues: 1) We discovered and eliminated several small cockroaches in the kitchen, particularly around the garbage cabinet. 2) The dining chairs were deteriorating, leaving lots of tiny pieces on our clothing when we used them. 3) The non-functional hot tub was a surprise upon arrival. Although mentioned in the listing, we missed it and so suggest making it more prominent, perhaps in the title, as the photos and description led us to expect a working hot tub. This could also be Airbnb's fault, since I specifically selected the "hot tub" option during my search, clearly indicating a preference for a property with a working hot tub.

Renee's place was great and my group of friends really enjoyed our winter stay. The cottage was modern and cozy, and the views were great from both decks. We had everything we needed, and the kitchen was well equipt with pots & pans of various sizes, cutlery, and dishes which was a welcomed surprise. The amount of beds really came in handy with a larger group, and they were comfy with clean sheets. The location was great for us as we were there to ice fish so didn't really need any entertainment or amenities, but there's really no grocery stores or shops around so make sure you bring everything you need. The driveway just fit 3 SUV's but we needed to manoeuvre the cars to get them to fit and getting them out was a bit of a struggle as the driveway is a little steep and slippery when iced over. Overall, we had a lovely stay and I would definitely stay here again!

Really nice place and enjoyable stay at Troy’s location. It’s a great please to rest and enjoy nature. Loved it!

The house was great and as pictured. The ceilings were low but it was not an issue for my family. There was plenty of wood for the indoor fireplace and the fire pit outside. Unfortunately the weather did not allow us to have a fire outside. The beds were very comfortable. They also put up a Christmas tree for our stay which was above and beyond. We would definitely stay here again.

Awesome place! The pictures don’t do it justice, the view is beautiful. Elaine and Peter were great hosts. This place was fully stocked, towels, linens, ziplock bags, paper towel, utensils, cooking stuff, you name it. Lots to do too, the beach is right there and they had paddle boards and kayaks to use. We travelled with two young kids and Elaine went above and beyond setting up the pack and play and high chair for us before we arrived. 10/10 would recommend!

Brett was an awesome host. Was always super responsive and helpful. His cottage was such a relaxing time for my family and I. The backyard was very private and great for my dog to run around in. We enjoyed fishing, canoeing, and using the fire pit!

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.

Beautiful and peaceful lakeside cottage! We had a great stay. Host was extremely responsive and helpful. It was very spacious and had good amenities.

Very enjoyable stay. Beautiful cottage. Excellent host. We would definitely stay here again.

Zebina, was so helpful & proactivt to ensure our visit went smoothly. Our group loved the location & pristine clean home. We'll be recommending this home to family & friends alike. Cheers !

We had an amazing time. 4 adults and 4 kids and two dogs. Check in was super easy. Host checked in upon arrival to make sure we had everything we needed. Cottage was private and clean. Cottage was completely equipped with everything you need. Location is great. The water is clear and shallow for quite a while so great for kids. Lots to do in the area. We will be back next year! :)

Wonderful stay, 2nd time going back, and will continue visiting. Very warm and welcoming couple. House was very cute with a special letter and treats upon arrival. Ice fishing was also great 👍

This cottage is very charming and homey. Our kids loved the second floor bedrooms. The kitchen is remarkably well furnished. If you have kids then you could teach them how to use a woodstove (as noted by our youngest son). The second you walk in, you feel like you've been there for ages, and it reminds you of childhood Summers and other loved cottages.

South Bay Cottage is truly a perfect and lovely lake getaway. Drive off the main road and into your own private cove outfitted with everything you need for a wonderful stay. Once inside, the view of Lake Stoney can be seen through the large windows from anywhere in the main room. The sunsets and starry skies were so peaceful - and even though locals told us it was unusual - we actual had an amazing view of the Northern Lights! We loved that this cottage included all the linens we needed and lots of areas to get cozy and read a book - including the extra-special gazebo. While the kitchen area is small - it is well equipped with everything we needed. Close to great hikes (Petroglyph Provincial Park, High Falls at Eels Creek, Warsaw Caves, and many others.) Also great to explore the area's great golf courses, Wanderlight Alpaca walks (a must do), Peterborough Pete's hockey, Peterborough theatre, and amazing restaurants in Lakefield (Loon, Cassia, and more). Melissa was a wonderful host!

We stayed with a group of girls for our bookclub and wow, it was amazing! We were lucky enough to have awesome weather, so utilized the outdoor bar, deck and fire pit, and it felt like we were up north. So serene. Awesome location.

Beautiful cottage, well located and extremely well decorated. Everything is available and set up for a perfect trip in a beautiful area. The lake is beautiful and peaceful. The bunkies are well equipped and design to provide privacy and comfort. Gary was very helpful when required and responded very quickly.

We loved staying at Silverlaken! The cabin was perfect for a weekend getaway. Ting was very helpful, and everyone was so friendly. We especially enjoyed the sauna and lake views!

Had the pleasure of staying at Khristel’s cozy chalet this past weekend! What a stunning property. Secluded, quiet and pristine. The chalet itself has everything you can think of to have a wonderful stay. The kitchen is fully stocked and a chefs dream space to work out of. The bathrooms and bedrooms were all so nicely decorated and a lean as a whistle. You can tell that a lot of love has gone into curating the special warm and inviting ambiance of this place. We cooked great meals, watched a ton of movies, had a couple bonfires and went snowshoeing! We didn’t get to fully utilize the game room but we got so excited to see billiards, ping pong, darts, fooseball and large jenga! Overall an amazing peaceful and fun getaway!! Would highly recommend!!!

We stayed at Teresa’s place for 2 nights during the Christmas holidays with our family of 16. Check-in was very easy and smooth. The cottage itself is beautiful, peaceful and private. The views were spectacular. As for the host, she was prompt in her responses and resolved all of our issues with ease. She was understanding and very nice. The co-host, Frank, was also very helpful.

We had an amazing stay! The house was spotless, cozy, and set in such a beautiful, peaceful location. The fireplace was a perfect touch, making our evenings warm and relaxing. Communication with the host was effortless—they were always quick to respond and helpful. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Highly recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Perfect spot- beautiful sunsets over the lake. Good swimming and nice dock area. Cottages were lovely inside with everything we needed and beds were so comfortable. Had lots of fun campfires and there is a nice lawn between the cottages for activities and dog to explore. Would definitely like to come back- great time had by all!

we had a great time at Kelly's cottage on the Sandy lake. the interiors were very aesthetic and pleasing, and everything was super new and well maintained. the cottage was very well equipped with anything that one may need for a comfortable stay whether its the kitchen or bath amenities. the fireplace was really pretty and the outdoor firepit was also very nice. we went during peak winter time and the location was great in terms of snow clearing facilities as well. we loved spending time at Kelly's place and would love to be back again in the summer to enjoy more of the outdoors and the lake where the property is located.

Really enjoyed it definitely coming back
