Cozy Nautical quaint retreat downtown Port Carling
We were in town for a wedding and had a great stay at Michelle’s place. Great location in the heart of Port Carling but still private enough to relax on the large deck and enjoy the view of the water. Would definitely stay again.

Lakefront private unit/hot tub
We had a really nice and peaceful stay at Lynn’s. She kindly let us used some snowshoes which was a must to explore the snowy nearby trails. The sauna and jaccuzi were really appreciated to warm up after a day in the cold! Would like to come back in the summer or fall as it must be stunning as well!

The Muskoka River Chalet - The King's Den
A friend and I decided to head north for a quick night away. Taurean’s “King’s Den” apartment was the perfect choice! A gorgeous accommodation, filled with special little extras and attention to detail! We enjoyed our stay and will be back!

Muskoka’s Garden Den Apartment
Great little place right in the heart of Port Carling. It was a great place to hang out after seeing the sights. Thanks Kelly we arrived after dark and found the lights on waiting for us, warm and even a little ambient music. After a day of travelling, perfect! thanks Kelly.

Sunrise and Bayview with Kayaks & Bikes
Matt and shauna were marvellous hosts!! they were extremely responsive and very kind! The house was perfect! Exactly as described, right by the water, for a great price! The cutest place with a full kitchen which was greatly appreciated! The weather wasn’t great but nothing a great book and even better view couldn’t fix! It made the perfect destination for our girls trip! 1000/10 recommend staying with them if you can!

Quiet & Pristine Georgian Bay Escape near trails
We had a wonderful stay with Catherine and Tom. The place was spotless and stocked with all the essentials for cooking, making it easy to feel at home. The location was perfect - just a short walk to the town dock and everything else we needed. Catherine and Tom were incredibly flexible and went out of their way to help us during some unexpected situations. They were generous, thoughtful, and always responsive to messages. Their local knowledge was invaluable, and they truly went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. We would highly recommend staying here! 10 out of 10!!

Welcome to waterfront paradise on Georgian Bay
We had a fantastic weekend staying at Gerard’s place! It was just as described from the pics and Gerard provided very clear instructions which made checking in seamless. The place was very clean, spacious, and right on the water! There was also a ton of things to do including kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, board games, a gym with weights as well as a fully stocked kitchen. We had a great time and would definitely come back again in the future!

Muskoka Waterfront Bayshore Cottage
Our hosts Ron and Susan were very quick to respond to all queries. They were helpful and friendly. Check in was very easy and Susan showed us around the property. The property was clean and spacious with a nautical themed decor. It is as shown on the photos located on the banks of the lake. The surroundings are beautiful. A car is essential for getting around in the Huntsville area and the parking space was always available as described. The kitchen was well equipped to cook meals. A large supermarket is close by (10 min) drive. This is an ideal location for exploring the beautiful Canadian countryside. We would recommend staying here. Thank you Susan and Ron

Mallory Beach Loft On the Water - Near Bruce Trail
We had an amazing stay at Jane and Steve’s place! They were very warm and were always accommodating and ensuring our stay was going well. Jane even ensured we got to our trail start and end one day. Everything about the “loft” was comfortable, the banana bread was amazing and it felt like we were visiting old friends. Thanks so much for helping to make a rainy cold weekend enjoyable!

Waterfront Cottage Over-the-Water view w fast Wifi
Chelsea’s place was absolutely beautiful ! Upon walking in the house, the view of the water is breathtaking and did not get old each morning while sipping our coffees. The home itself was very homey, and a great wide open space for gathering with friends. Chelsea was super helpful when booking, made recommendations and was super responsive during our stay with any questions we had. I would highly recommend a stay here - can’t get much closer to being “on the lake”!

Spectacular Waterfront 3 Bedroom Home!
Beautiful, spacious and very comfortable. One of the most amazing views I've ever had at a cottage. So many windows that can open to let the beautiful sunshine and breeze in. Fans, AC and heat allowed for perfect temperature control.

Brick's Lake House Retreat
Rick & Brenda’s place was absolutely beautiful. Stunning views, a beautiful lake house, and plenty of activities and games made this the perfect weekend getaway. We came as a group of 9 and there was more than enough space for everyone to stay comfortably. The place was spotless -super clean and well-maintained- which made it feel even more relaxing. The hosts were incredibly accommodating, especially considering our long drive to get there, and their communication was quick and helpful throughout. Truly, nothing was lacking.

Charming Muskoka Getaway on Fairy Lake, Huntsville
Great place to stay in Huntsville, close to the lake and provincial park with lots of winter activities. Igor was very helpful and accomodating.

Muskoka Signature Suite at Grandview
The condo had recently been remodeled. There was excellent lighting throughout the unit. The bathroom had ample space with a good shower and fixtures that worked well. The beds were comfortable, with good bedding and linens. The kitchen was well stocked with usable items. All the appliances worked well. The view through the trees to the lake was lovely.

Your Home Away from Home in Beautiful Huntsville!
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!

Huntsville Lakeside & Ski Chalet
A very friendly and responsive host. The instructions to get inside were clear and easy to follow. The host provided a list of amenities nearby of things to do.

Lakeview Condo located in Huntsville, Ontario
A wonderful spot with every convenient considered! The espresso machine might have been the highlight of my trip. The beach is very nice and close. The king bed is a very firm spring mattress, so something to consider if that is important to you.

Cozy Fairy Lake Getaway
The perfect little get away. The condo was super clean and updated, as well as homey/welcoming. Pino provided everything you could need. The view was beautiful. It was just what we needed for the best weekend.

Wind Song lake view condo with wrap around porch
It was such a great experience staying at this place. Maja and Neno are great hosts - the instructions are clear and it’s easy to find the suite even when it’s dark. They also share local recommendations (there is puppy yoga!) :) the place is an amazing getaway from the busy and noisy city life. In clear days you can see so many stars in the sky from the porch. It’s also so close to Algonquin so I can totally imagine it being super busy during maple leaf seasons. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting this area. Thank you Maja and Neno for this great experience!

Lakeside in Muskoka
My husband and I had a great time at Katie’s place. It has great views of the lake, was well equipped with everything we needed for a weekend and was close to town and nature.
