Beachfront holiday rental in Havelock-Belmont-Methuen

I had the pleasure of spending a wonderful week at the cottage with my 2 boys. The cottage had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The outdoor spaces were beautuful and the kids and I spent a lot of time on the swings and in the hammock. The lake was perfect for swimming (the kids especially loved the big floating mat) and we enjoyed exploring the lake in the canoe as well! The kids have been asking to go back ever since!

Great getaway! Went fishing by the bridge and watched our friends paddleboard on the lake from the hottub. Had a great time!

We loved our stay here! The house was spotless and had everything we could’ve needed and more. The dock and watercrafts were our favourite daytime spot, and the dining table was perfect for groups games in the evenings. We didn’t get to use the fire pits but there were two of them! We’ll definitely be back!

We really enjoyed our time at Firefly. The cabin has a cozy, rustic charm — you can tell the original structure has some age and character, which adds to the experience. The view from inside beautifully frames the lake, and the dock’s positioning offers all-day sun and stunning sunsets. It was a peaceful and quiet stay, just what we were looking for. The host provided everything we needed, including kitchen essentials, BBQ tools, and fresh linens. The welcome binder was clear and helpful — especially the note about keeping showers short due to the smaller hot water tank. While the cabin is close to a larger dwelling, we still felt like we had our own space thanks to the private lawn and layout. We had a great stay and would love to return to see the fall colours.

Really enjoyed our stay. No complaints, would stay again in the future. Thanks again!

It’s a nice place and quiet and clean I can recommend this place to anyone i will visit this again on next summer thank you.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Patti and Dennis’s place! The location is stunning- right next to the lake with great views. Patti and Dennis were incredibly kind and welcoming hosts. We stayed with our 5 month old puppy, and they were so accommodating about it. We arrived earlier than the planned check-in time as our travel time was less than what we predicted. It meant a lot to us as first time pet travellers that we could check-in early. The home was cozy and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We had to leave the place early unfortunately due to work call and couldn’t enjoy kayak or paddling that they offered. Highly recommend this gem of a stay to anyone looking for peace, beauty and genuinely lovely hosts!

The cottage was great! Perfect for a weekend out of the city, our group and I loved the entire experience. Janice was very helpful and even left a very sweet personal touch for our stay. Would definitely stay again.

We had great stay with Igor everything was as described he super friendly and responsive. The park is clean and everyone is really friendly. I would definitely recommend this place and hopefully we will return in the near future.

The trailer had everything we needed for a family vacation. The part of the trailer with the kids bunks was very spacious with a play area and there were toys and games for the kids to play with. The pool at the campground had two lifeguards at all times, which I was very happy with. The campground also had a small Beach with a lot of communal toys to share. Racheal was easy to get in touch with and responded very quickly. We really appreciated that she let us know ahead of time that there was an event at the campground for the kids on the day that we were arriving so that we could be prepared and enjoy it. We did a day trip to the Warsaw caves which I would definitely recommend!

We had such a good time! The pictures didn’t do the place justice, we were pleasantly surprised when we got to the cottage.

Ollie and Frank were tremendous hosts. We loved the log cabin and all their recommendations were exceptional. We will be back!!!

Absolutely amazing stay! The place was right by the water and the views were stunning. Everything was clean, comfortable, and just as described. The atmosphere was peaceful, and the whole experience exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend — I’d love to come back!

Check in was very simple and straightforward, the cabin was super clean and comfortable. Kitchen has almost all the utensils you need, there was even cooking spray and salt/pepper available. No bath towels or kitchen towels, but you would probably want to bring your own anyway. 5/5 would stay here again and again!

The hosts are truly amazing and warm hearted. Their home was well maintain and it shows in every corner of their property. Lovely place.

It was a great stay and very accommodating. Kids enjoyed the pool table and foosball indoors as well as the pool and lake outside. The kitchen and view of the lake was amazing. Lots of fishing was done from the docks and petal boat and some paddling from the kayak and paddle board (we brought this).

Rick was a wonderful host and we loved the cottage. He was extremely welcoming, friendly, and went over and above to help make us feel comfortable and at home. The cottage was clean and so nicely decorated, with a beautiful beach right across the street. We had great sleeps and really enjoyed our stay.

My sister and I spent the weekend here and could not have had a better time! The lake was so beautiful and relaxing and the cabin was the perfect size. Angela is a top notch host and anyone would be lucky to stay here!

We had a wonderful stay at RAP Cottage. It was a spacious, well kept property with great amenities and clear instructions. There were no unexpected issues or surprises! Our kids had an amazing time on the lake and enjoyed the karaoke machine. The fire pit was a hit as well. Will definitely visit again.

Great location right on the Trent River! Very nice outdoor space with lots of things to do and perfect for fishing, etc. Lots of fun with our family of 6!

ChatGPT You said: Write a good review about a air bnb which is a cabin in the woods which is also at lakefront, the reviewer is escaping the busy life from work ChatGPT said: Sure! Here's a warm, thoughtful review you can use for that lakeside cabin Airbnb: Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) I couldn’t have asked for a better escape from the hustle and stress of daily life. This cabin in the woods, nestled right on the lakefront, was exactly the kind of peace and quiet I needed. From the moment I arrived, I felt a sense of calm wash over me — the only sounds were birds, wind in the trees, and gentle waves lapping at the shore. The cabin itself is cozy, clean, and full of rustic charm, with all the modern amenities thoughtfully included. Waking up to the view of the lake every morning felt like a dream. I spent my days sipping coffee on the deck, kayaking, reading by the fireplace, and just reconnecting with nature — no emails, no meetings, just stillness. The host was incredibly welcoming and re

This is a very cozy space. If you are looking to get away in the Kawarthas I really recommend it. Its very clean, organized, right on the water great for a family of 5-6. I would love to come back and stay even longer, a weekend was too short. No complaints.

Beautiful place for a getaway! We loved the stay. Yegi and her husbund were very helpful and kind. Would like to book them again for a wonderful stay.

In a word, perfect. the place was pristine and private, and Dan was great to deal with. there is a town 5 minutes up the road as well, so while it's private and feels remote, you still have access to a grocery store etc. we WILL be staying here again, and I cannot wait!
