Vacation rentals with a kayak in Greater Toronto Area

Great location and the house was exactly as listed. I will definitely be booking again in the future!!

Our stay at Addie's cottage was delightful. The place was clean, well-furnished, and equipped with all the necessary utensils. Both hot and cold water pressure was excellent, creating a cozy and warm atmosphere. The bedrooms were tidy and comfortable. Addie proved to be very responsive and helpful, enhancing our experience. However, we encountered a few minor issues: 1) We discovered and eliminated several small cockroaches in the kitchen, particularly around the garbage cabinet. 2) The dining chairs were deteriorating, leaving lots of tiny pieces on our clothing when we used them. 3) The non-functional hot tub was a surprise upon arrival. Although mentioned in the listing, we missed it and so suggest making it more prominent, perhaps in the title, as the photos and description led us to expect a working hot tub. This could also be Airbnb's fault, since I specifically selected the "hot tub" option during my search, clearly indicating a preference for a property with a working hot tub.

The house was great and as pictured. The ceilings were low but it was not an issue for my family. There was plenty of wood for the indoor fireplace and the fire pit outside. Unfortunately the weather did not allow us to have a fire outside. The beds were very comfortable. They also put up a Christmas tree for our stay which was above and beyond. We would definitely stay here again.

Brett was an awesome host. Was always super responsive and helpful. His cottage was such a relaxing time for my family and I. The backyard was very private and great for my dog to run around in. We enjoyed fishing, canoeing, and using the fire pit!

Responsive host, peaceful environment. Lots of wildlife and beautiful cottage!

Lovely spot to stay with the family. We had such a nice weekend. Meaford is great place and close to both Owen sound and Collingwood to explore further. The house was comfortable and a great place for our family and dog to relax. It had everything we needed

Dylan’s place was better than anticipated. Large, well-laid out, clean, beautiful views and well-stocked. I think most impressive was Dylan himself who was extremely responsive and friendly. He is a SuperHost. I would absolutely come back,

Tham was an exceptional host to an exceptional mansion. The place is gorgeous, privately located right at the grand river, huge lot with so many seating areas that each has its own taste. The pool was super clean, kayaks & fishing equipment are nicely stored and ready to be used, life vests and a phenomenal gazebo right at the river bank. It was a great family gathering, Thanks Tham.

Beautiful and peaceful lakeside cottage! We had a great stay. Host was extremely responsive and helpful. It was very spacious and had good amenities.

Very enjoyable stay. Beautiful cottage. Excellent host. We would definitely stay here again.

Zebina, was so helpful & proactivt to ensure our visit went smoothly. Our group loved the location & pristine clean home. We'll be recommending this home to family & friends alike. Cheers !

Beautiful place! Can’t wait to return. The fishing is fantastic here! Thank you so much Stephanie you are a fantastic host !!!

We had an amazing time. 4 adults and 4 kids and two dogs. Check in was super easy. Host checked in upon arrival to make sure we had everything we needed. Cottage was private and clean. Cottage was completely equipped with everything you need. Location is great. The water is clear and shallow for quite a while so great for kids. Lots to do in the area. We will be back next year! :)

Great place, great hosts.

We had a great week at Daniel’s cottage - the perfect place to relax & unwind after a week exploring the sights in Toronto. Daniel was an excellent host - no question was too much trouble, & he was very quick to respond to any queries. The cottage & amenities were exactly as described and proved to be perfect for our family - especially our two 16 & 19 year old sons, with plenty of time spent swimming, kayaking / canoeing, riding the Peloton, or playing table tennis, table football, & the X-box. The location of the cottage was perfect, with beautiful views of the river and surrounding woodland. The rear deck was the perfect spot for breakfast or BBQ’ing in the evening & watching the sunset. We ate at the cottage most days with supplies from the excellent Canoe Stores & Bakery in Washago, which had us coming back for the pecan slices on a daily basis! We ate out at the Lock42 Grill, set in a beautiful location beside the canal. All in all we would highly recommend Daniel’s cottage.

**Hidden Gem Homestay Experience Report** This place is an absolute sanctuary for city dwellers! Walking through the woods, a vast painting-like meadow unfolds before your eyes. The lakeside dock offers kayaking adventures—gliding through the morning mist felt like drifting in a fairy tale. Evenings at the terrace bar were pure bliss: grilling sizzling steaks while watching the sunset dip the river in molten gold, the smoky aroma from the grill teasing our appetites. Nights stole the show with crackling bonfires—munching marshmallows, swapping stories, and sipping beer under starry skies, wrapped in serene tranquility. The cozy rooms sparkled with cleanliness, and even the bunk beds oozed playful charm, perfect for our family. But the real surprise? The host’s hidden gems: a treasure trove of retro games and board games, plus a wall display of glittering champagne, whiskey, and wine glasses that practically begged us to toast the night away. The heartfelt sense of connection

Nrupas cottage was more than what we expected! The location was perfect, the cottage is more like a house, the layout was perfect for gathering friends and family. The deck is huge and plenty of seating. There’s a fire pit with lots of seating. The bunkie is great for more privacy. There’s canoes, kayaks and a paddle boat…the lake is gorgeous. The neighbours are friendly. Comfy beds, We will be back!

Our seven person group had a wonderful stay at the Thunderbird Cabin. All of the buildings were spotless when we arrived and extremely well stocked for a cottage weekend. We found everything just as described in the listing. The view from the large deck is serene and we had the lake to ourselves for the entire three days of our stay. At just two hours from Toronto I would recommend this to any large group looking for a beautiful and convenient getaway.

Khristel is a fantastic and responsive host. The property is beautiful. Our family had a great stay.

We stayed at Teresa’s place for 2 nights during the Christmas holidays with our family of 16. Check-in was very easy and smooth. The cottage itself is beautiful, peaceful and private. The views were spectacular. As for the host, she was prompt in her responses and resolved all of our issues with ease. She was understanding and very nice. The co-host, Frank, was also very helpful.

We had a fantastic stay! Kelly was incredibly friendly and very responsive, making the entire process smooth and welcoming from start to finish. The property itself is exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The highlight for us was the stunning lake, which added such a peaceful and scenic touch to our getaway. The home was also impressively well-equipped and stocked with everything we needed and more, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend and would definitely return!

Really enjoyed it definitely coming back

thank you Richard for the wonderful vacation!! the place was exactly as described and Richard gave us great direction since Google maps doesn't do the best job. the property was huge, plenty of amenities. the peddle boat was missing plugs so we grabbed some from in town and left them for the next guest.

We had a great time at Meng's place at Severn Bridge. The area was very quite and peaceful and had all the amenities exactly as listed on the webpage listing. The boating at the river was the highlight and all of our family enjoyed it to the fullest. Right from checking in to checking out, everything was very smooth and without hiccups. We were helped to setup the camp fire and we got all the help required from George. A big thank you to him for being there for any kind of help needed and we are very grateful to him. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a quite and peaceful retreat away from the city hustle bustle and the price is worth the experience we all had at this wonderful place.
