Cottage holiday rentals in Machar

Joanne has been a great host from booking all the way to check out. She has communicated with us all throughout the stay. She was kind enough to give us a flexible check in and check out time. The place was as described on the listing and instructions were quite clear as to what’s what. My family and friends had a wonderful time.

Thank you so much for hosting us! We had an amazing time at your cottage — it was cozy, clean, and perfectly located. We especially loved exploring Algonquin Park during our stay and coming back to relax by the lake. Everything was just as described (even better!) and we truly appreciated all the thoughtful touches. We hope to come back again in the future!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the cottage. The place was cozy, clean, and beautifully maintained – exactly what we needed for a peaceful retreat. The surroundings were serene, with lovely views and nature all around. Everything was thoughtfully provided, from comfy bedding to a well-stocked kitchen. The hosts were warm and welcoming, and communication was smooth throughout.

This is a gem of a find - serene property, beautiful house and extremely client-centric host. Abdul was very accommodating in all of our request, and very responsive. The indoor pool was an epic addition to the weekend! Highly recommend this place!

Absolutely loved our time at the cottage! Beautiful and as pictured, we would love to be back in the future. Jennifer was a great host and very responsive and helpful when we reached out!

I spent a weekend at the Rock Lodge on Mary Lake and it was absolutely stunning. The lodge itself is beautiful—cozy, clean, and thoughtfully designed. You can tell a lot of care went into making the space feel like a true escape. The hosts were amazing—super friendly, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The area is peaceful and scenic, perfect for relaxing or exploring nearby trails and nature spots. I couldn’t have asked for a better weekend getaway. Highly recommend!

A must stay. Everything was perfect. Wonderful host, kind and extremely communicative.

The lazy lakehouse was exactly what my friends and I were looking for, with the sauna and hot tub it was the perfect combination for relaxation in the winter. The cottage was a perfect size for our getaway. Leigh, the host was awesome, very responsive and helpful for anything we needed, and was also proactive in giving us all the information we needed ahead of time.

We are a family of four with two young kids, and the stay in Azar’s peaceful waters cottage was great. The cottage is beautiful, decorated in very good taste, perfectly equipped and feels very homey. It is very clear that many details have been thought of to make it extremely friendly for guests, particularly for families (for example, there were spare change of sheets in the children’s bedrooms). We stayed there during a snowstorm weekend, so there we didn’t do a lot of travel around the area, but just staying in and hanging around the cottage was beautiful and very enjoyable. The location is very private and quiet. It is a perfect place for families. We would definitely come back to Azar’s cottage to visit the area at other seasons as well.

We discovered the perfect secluded getaway in this beautifully maintained property. The grounds were consistently plowed during snowfall, making our winter stay worry-free. The main cottage comfortably accommodated our group of 5, featuring a fully-equipped kitchen and a thoughtful welcome kit with snacks and coffee. Two full bathrooms with provided toiletries made sharing the space easy, and the comfortable beds ensured restful nights. The clean, spacious hot tub was perfect for relaxing after outdoor activities, and the reliable wifi kept us connected. We enjoyed both the excellent heating system and the cozy wood fireplace, all while taking in beautiful waterfront views. Killbear Provincial Park, just 40 minutes away, offered excellent winter hiking. Quick tips: bring extra towels as only one is provided per person, and pack slip-on shoes for travelling between cottages. While water has a slight odour, it tastes perfectly fine. We’d love to return in the summer! Highly recommend!

Loved our stay. Ian was fantastic and friendly. Great location with everything we could ask for.

This stay was the most perfect for my Family and I, we felt just at home and the surroundings were beautiful! Cozy and peaceful, just what we needed this weekend! Vanessa was very quick to respond to us when we needed something. I recommend this place to everyone!

We had an amazing stay at Amanda’s place! The property was spotless when we arrived, and the peaceful surroundings made for a perfect getaway. We enjoyed a fantastic BBQ, a cozy bonfire, and boating on the beautiful lake. Amanda was a wonderful host, providing everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to relax and enjoy nature. We’ll definitely be back!

Great cottage with an amazing view! Our family of 4 + 1 dog loved it. A lot of space, good kitchen, the beds are comfortable. We enjoyed doing barbecue and looking at the beautiful sunset.

We loved the cabin and can't wait to return. Everything was in great working order and squicky clean. Our stay was an absolute pleasure.

I feel that this Airbnb was exactly as described and provided an awesome place for me and my family to stay. There was an abundance of games to play. There was a lot of basic supplies already there. The Kayak, Canoe and Paddleboard were a great addition to the stay. The Airbnb is well marked and easy to locate. Entrance was super easy. Things were clean when we arrived. It was so peaceful, serene and I had a great time here. Thank you so much for letting us stay!

We had an incredible stay at Lionel’s cottage in Port Loring! The view from the property is absolutely stunning, and the cottage itself was clean, spacious, and perfect for our group of friends. The pictures truly don’t do the place justice—it was even better in person. It had everything we needed for a relaxing and memorable getaway. Highly recommend for anyone looking to escape to a beautiful and peaceful spot. We would definitely stay here again!

We loved our stay at Natalie and Matt’s. Great little bunkie right on the water. The surrounding trees made it feel more private than expected. The sliding screen doors and full windows on both the bedroom and living area made the space feel so open and breezy. The space was clean and had everything we needed. The bed was super comfortable and had the feel of a hotel bed with nice clean linens and lots of pillows. Natalie was great with communication and gave us clear instructions. She was super friendly and was available anytime we had questions. I would definitely recommend this Airbnb for anyone who is considering it!

We enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend with family at the cottage. Cozy, clean and everything we needed! Gorgeous and peaceful lake views and nice walking around the area. Playground nearby for the little kids and big kids too. Would recommend.

We had a great stay at the guest cabin. The place was very clean and well stocked. It is evident that Ryan and Bryan took time to think about the small details which goes a long way for the guests. The hosts were very responsive and even organized an early check-in for us. It truly was a perfect stay. A big thank you to Ryan and Bryan for everything. We hope to have them host us again sometime soon.

Hilltop Hideway is extremely comfortable recreational facility which can satisfy everyone. This cottage is very well equipped, with a lot of space to relax. The facility is very modern with most updated amenities. It is tremendous location, close to Arrowhead and Algonquin Provincial Parks and with the short distance to Huntsville. The host Igor was responding to any inquiries friendly and on time. We can strongly recommend this facility for those looking for: relax, outdoor activity and those wanted to explore all attractions listed in the cottage leaflet. Group of friends from Toronto: Iwona, Barbara Z, Barbara L, Margaret, Andrej, Michael, Gregory and Victor.

Returning guests here. We had another amazing getaway in Lynn’s cottage (see my previous review for specifics - it still stands).

Me and my friends had a great experience at the Long House, the pictures do not do it enough justice, it is beautiful. Everything was close proximity to the cottage and the hosts were very kind and helpful whenever we needed anything. Would love to come here again

We had an amazing getaway at this beautiful lakefront property. The views of the lake, especially with the fall foliage, were absolutely stunning and made for a peaceful and relaxing stay. The house was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. Mike was incredibly responsive and provided clear, detailed instructions, which made the entire experience seamless.
