Island holiday rentals in The Great Lakes

Collin's place was perfect for our family Christmas! Such a nice spot tucked away in the woods - perfect for stargazing! We even saw eagles and a family of otters playing on the ice. The house had everything we needed for our stay and check-in and out was a breeze. I'd love to come back in the summer to enjoy the lakes!!

This was the first time renting a cottage on its own private Island for me and my group. We did not know what to expect and were very excited about this new experience. Jan has been super great at communicating and answering all my questions. The experience was an amazing one and left us with wonderful memories. If you love, nature and serenity this is definitely the place. It’s been ages since I’ve seen this many stars in the sky. The cottage itself has everything you need and a great layout with open concept kitchen for socializing with your group of people. We all really enjoyed our stay. Thank you Jan!

Great rustic cabin for 5 fisherman. Great location and great fishing as well. Lads want to return next year.

We had an amazing stay at Brian's. Cottage was equipped with everything we needed. Very clean and spacious. We did alot of fishing and caught many fish. Morrison Lake is beautiful and clean. Loved to hear the call of the loon that swam in the lake. Brian answered any questions we had promptly. We would recommend this beautiful island cottage

It was our 9th wedding Anniversary and we were looking to get away from our busy lives for a weekend. Our entire stay on Garden Island was above and beyond anything we could of imagined experiencing. The Bunkie is perfect size and stocked with all necessities. Tranquil, serenity, peace, nature, Thank you so much Maxim for your brilliant hospitality from the moment we met you until we departed. And until we meet again. Cheers. Alex and Zee 2024

Our family of 4 loved staying on the island! It was definitely rustic living, but the cabin had everything necessary to cook, sleep, and enjoy the island comfortably. The scenery was beautiful and we spent much of our time in, near, or on the water. Donna provided a canoe and we brought our own inflatable paddle board. Both were in use often during our stay. The upstairs of the house would get warm on hot days, but cooled down significantly at night. The beds were comfortable and we had some excellent nights of sleep during our stay. Our dog vacationed with us and she was so happy to run free and wade in the water all day, every day. Donna was an excellent host. She was always available to answer questions. She communicated with us consistently and was flexible when we arrived later than expected. Staying by ourselves on an island was a very cool experience and we will fondly remember this unique and special place for years to come! Thank you Donna!

We love going up to the island and have been coming for over 4 years! It's a staple for our summers and enjoy sharing this special place with family and friends as well. Love the family and cabin and island! Will be back for sure next year!

We had a wonderful, relaxing 8 night stay in this classic cottage on a stunning part of Georgian Bay. The cottage was spacious and was equipped with everything we needed. The wraparound deck offered incredible views of smooth rock islands, open water, and gorgeous sunsets. The property, located on a point, was larger than we expected and offered lots of space for lawn games like Bocce Ball. Swimming off the dock was excellent, and the area was perfect for paddling by SUP or kayak. We had our own boat and the fishing did not disappoint! Overall, a fantastic stay supported by a responsive and helpful host. We didn’t want to leave!

Great place for a weekend getaway! Honey Harbour was only 1.5 hours away and a 6 minute boat ride from the Marina. The place looked exactly like the photo’s and Ming was excellent to deal with. Great area for boating around, fishing, etc. with a near by restaurant you can dock at. Thanks again, we’ll see you again next year!

This place is awesome. Cottage was clean and well equipped with anything you need. Even with some storms on shore we barely got 20 min of rain the whole stay. The sandbars in mitchels bay are unreal to spend the day at. Water was 83 degrees and Crystal clean! Fishing and kayaking are great. Short boat ride to go for dinner in town, or cook at home with the bbq or over the fire. Nick was excellent to communicate with and did everything to ensure we had a great time. We spoke several times over the phone to make the weekend go off without a hitch! We will definitely be back next year.

We had an amazing 2 night stay at cottage no.3 The cottage was well equipped. It was cosy, quaint and peaceful. The island was beautiful, our cottage sat right at the edge of the water with the most perfect private deck. Use of canoes and paddle boats! We paddled all the way around the island, it was a pure delight! Lorn and Diana are wonderful hosts, a big thank you to them for providing this perfect little piece of paradise Can’t say enough good things about it all, we made the best memories here ❤️

We really enjoyed our time here. The cottage is super easy to get to, it's got a great layout and it's very rare to have the amount of space on the waterfront that they do. We were able to take our son onto the little beach and let him play, or just lounge on the dock, or jump from the rocks. Great spot within 2 hours from Toronto.

Our stay with Diana and Lorn was even better than what we expected. The location was beautiful with multiple docs and decks to soak in the view from every angle, the cottage itself was right on the water supplied with everything you could need (and quite adorable!), and as hosts, they were so accommodating and responsive. The little coffee shop they have on the island for guests and other cottagers really shows their love for bringing people together. We look forward to going back…every year!

We had never been to this area of Ontario before and always wanted to. Finding this location on the Bay met our requirements for cozy, rugged beautiful surroundings and some fishing. This location is a must visit if you are wanting a peaceful time away. Word of caution, if you are trying to get here on your own an electronic navigation device with charts is a must. I used my phone and the navionics app and we also had a good device on the boat so it was a breeze for us getting in and finding the island even with some misty rain on the way in. Sitting on the west side of the island looking down into west bay at the sunset with a drink was a highlight. Also catching a 20 pound pike was another highlight. Really appreciate this place meeting expectations. Plan on returning next fall for a similar adventure.

We had the best time at Brett and Lindsay’s Paradise island cottage! The island and surroundings are beautiful. They could not have been more helpful as hosts, answering all of our questions and arranging transport/boat rental. The cottage is well equipped and private. It was perfect for a stay with our dog. We look forward to hopefully being able to stay again in future! Highly recommend.

An island made for bonding, discovery and countless Insta moments.

Another Great stay at Lisa’s! We were here 4 years ago with our puppy, who’s no longer a pup! He loved it, we loved it! Gorgeous place, perfect weather, very comfy main bed! Lisa is awesome! We didn’t want to leave! Hope to be back again soon! ❤️

Absolutely phenomenal experience at Bucktooth Island! Debra and Pat's hospitality was top-notch. We spent an unforgettable long weekend swimming, BBQing, exploring, and relaxing in their picturesque cabins. The surroundings were breathtakingly beautiful, and the rustic cabins themselves were cozy and comfortable. What truly impressed us, however, was Debra and Pat's exceptional responsiveness. When we raised a concern, they promptly addressed it, ensuring our stay was seamless and enjoyable. We wholeheartedly recommend Bucktooth Island to anyone seeking a unique and eventful getaway. You won't be disappointed! Debra and Pat's warmth and dedication to their guests' experience shine through in every aspect of their hosting.

This is the second time we've had the pleasure of staying at Suzie and Jerry's place. It's a gorgeous spot, and the accommodations are topnotch (for one, I got home and realized I need to buy a new bed, since mine is not nearly as comfortable as theirs ;) Plus Suzie and Jerry are wonderful hosts – helpful, cheerful, and always available, while giving you the utmost privacy to do your own thing. It's a little ways away from the County proper, but really not that far! And spending time at the Mill is a treat all on its own. We spent plenty of time in the County, and were always happy to arrive back "home."

It is a difficult balance to preserve the rustic nature of a Georgian Bay retreat all while having modern-day conveniences, and Joe and his family have threaded this needle to perfection. The care and attention that has been put into this charming property is evident throughout. We especially enjoyed the solar-lit walkways, the fishing-themed decorations, the swimming deck with lily-pad and the adult/child kayaks. Wonderful views around the island along with different sleeping quarters make for an ideal family vacation. The island is also provisioned with everything you need which takes the pressure off when planning and packing. This was a very memorable vacation all around and we are grateful for our stay.
