Cottage holiday rentals in Lake Simcoe

Had a great family getaway for a few nights. Peaceful surroundings, easy to find, and close to amenities if needed. Lovely cabin!

This was our second time staying at Jamie’s cottage and it was just as wonderful as the first time. It is such a beautiful location and the cottage is warm and cozy with the amazing fireplace. It was a perfect spot to watch all the snow fall gently out the big windows, looking out over the river. So peaceful! We ended up having to leave early and it made us all so sad, especially our kids, so we’ve already mentally made plans to go back next winter. Jamie was super communicative and we really just enjoyed our time so much.

Daniel gave a thorough intro message of specifics the day of on top of what was already so clearly laid out. The property was beautiful with access to so many activity options. House is clean and spacious. We spent a lot of time on the dock which had a great selection of furniture and sun/shade options. The beach is a close walk. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend and will likely be back to enjoy the space again!

Very peaceful and beautiful place to stay. The house is a great size for a family looking to relax and unwind.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage in the woods! It was clean, spacious, and incredibly peaceful — the perfect nature escape. The hot tub was amazing, and the game room was such a fun bonus. We also loved how cozy and comfortable the beds were, and the living room and big kitchen made it easy to relax and enjoy meals together. Just a heads-up: there are quite a few mosquitos, so be sure to bring some bug spray. Other than that, everything was perfect. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a quiet getaway surrounded by nature!

The home was super clean and had all the amenities we needed, and more! Location was fantastic and the host was super responsive and proactive in her communication! We would love to come back soon!!

We had a wonderful stay for a girls weekend! The indoor and outdoor space was lovely and comfortable. There was so much wild life visiting the outdoor space which made for exciting views! The lake was beautiful, and calm. Our only minor notes were the hottub as it wasn’t at the standards of clean we expected (sand in it and water was slightly murky) and the dock being covered in bird poop and dead fish. All in all, we greatly enjoyed the space and would love to come back for another girls weekend.

Very special house in stunning location. We felt very at home and would love to go back some day

We really enjoyed our stay at Dock Cottage. It was modern elegance mixed with warm vintage touches. It had everything we needed to make our stay really comfortable and we loved the dock, hot tub and kayaking on the lake. It was quiet and peaceful and felt far away from everything yet we were an easy walk from Miss Nelle’s coffee shop and ice cream stand where we went each morning for a coffee (opens at 7am), Muskoka Brewing Company for a beer and a few other Baysville shops. The communication and instructions were really helpful and we received prompt replies if we had a question so it felt like we were really taken care of. We will definitely be back and recommend it to friends.

Jessica was wonderful, and her place is absolutely charming—cozy, cute, and beautifully surrounded by nature. Grateful for the experience and would happily book again!

Everything exceeded expectations! A cozy tiny home with beautiful river views and thoughtful details throughout. Kathy was responsive and made the stay seamless. Highly recommend!

Great host, very responsive/helpful. House and furniture were very clean. Perfect for a family getaway.

It was a separate accommodation from the main house, and simple - the mini arcade was a fun extra.

We happened to come during mayfly season, so there were tons of them outside and we couldn’t have a campfire at night, which was a bit disappointing. But the host was super kind and helpful, and the place had everything we needed. During the day, we still got to go boating and had a nice BBQ, and spent three amazing nights indoors. Thanks again for the lovely stay!

Great cottage for a getaway! Jason was very accommodating and responsive to all our questions. We came for a girl's weekend retreat and it suited our needs perfectly. Nice little sand beach that made it easy to get in and out of the water. Would recommend Bud's Place and will book again myself :)

This was our fourth stay and it felt like home. Always love coming back and even though the weather wasn’t great, there was plenty to do with the sauna, records, VHS tapes and games.

Accommodation was exactly as shown and described with added squirrels and chipmunks dashing around outside! Fab place in a fab location, close to a fab freshwater lake and fab bar at the end of the road.

Cottage is totally unique being on a point with water on two sides. Architecture is modern and very comfortable. Two larger bedrooms are the same size so great to share with another couple. Views include Goffat Island and McCrae Provincial Park so lots of greenery. With the pick of two sides to paddle you can stay out of the wind. I have been coming to Lake Simcoe for over 50 years and I have never heard so many loon cries! And trumpeter swans for visuals. Firepit has great views! We had a great time.

Such a perfect little getaway spot. Super quiet and private — loved relaxing in the hot tub at night and hanging by the fire. The place has a dock with kayaks and paddleboards, which made the lake time extra fun. Everything was clean and cozy, and it just felt peaceful the whole time. Already planning to come back!

What a great place! We had 11 people. 6 adults and 5 children. There were beds for everyone and because the weather was crap (totally not Byron’s fault - LOL) we were inside most of the weekend. There was enough space and internet bandwidth to keep everyone happy and engaged! Everything was comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed! Hope to rent this next year for family fun weekend!

Cannot recommend this cottage enough! Had a great time with my family, the apartment was fantastic, and the view was better than I could’ve imagined. 10/10 would recommend!

We had a great time at Todd's place. Julie and Todd were both easy to reach and helpful whenever we had questions! The location is beautiful and there was a lot to do around the area! would recommend!!

We stayed here for a little over a week and it was amazing! The hosts are extremely friendly and helpful, even helped us find an easier way to get into the city. The house was extremely clean and very cozy. This house is the perfect place for relaxing, enjoying nature, and even going into the city for some more up-beat days. I couldn’t recommend this place and the hosts enough! Thank you!

This place is extraordinary! Beautiful space to be in with a great bit of lake to enjoy. Would highly recommend, and hope to return myself some day.
