Newly decorated Ski Spa hang out in hammock

TaylorRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a great stay here! The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. A close drive to shopping centre, the Spa and the village. The only comment to make was there are no curtains/blinds on the main floor of the house, and the hot tub mentioned is the jet tub in the ensuite. Regardless of this, we still had a great stay and would love to come back.

Spacious Family Home surrounded by nature

JiyunRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We had a great stay at Bruce's place. It was clean, had everything we needed, and Bruce was very responsive any time we reached out. Some features of the house like the sun room and the big master bedroom were beautiful and we loved it. Neighborhood was very peaceful and safe for late night walks. Overall a great stay and we would be back if we have a chance!

Luxury Home On 100+ Acre Sandy Beachfront Lake!

AJRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Jesse is an amazing host. He was constantly checking in with us about our comfort. The house was squeaky clean. The highlight is the kayaks and paddle-boats. Kids had a lot of fun. House is pretty big with lots of area in the living rooms to sit and chit-chat. All in all a perfect getaway for big families.

Muskoka Cabana - Sandy beach cottage in Muskoka

VasilikiRating, 5 stars4 months ago
We really enjoyed our stay at Muskoka Cabana. The location is stunning, right at the water's edge with beautiful, peaceful views of the lake. The outside deck is amazing and really spacious. We did feel that the access was a bit tricky, but I guess the location compensated for that. The cabana itself is really tastefully done, with beautiful homey touches and the kitchen was well equipped. Overall, this was a great stay.

Stunning Bright 2+ Bdrm Luxury w/Free Parking

John And IlsaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This is our second time staying here, and Arti's place was perfect for our group of 3 adults, a toddler and a baby. The Beltway proved to be a wonderful alternative to walking on icy sidewalks our first evening and had a wonderful peaceful ambiance as opposed to roads and traffic. The place is exactly as advertised and we would not hesitate to stay here again.

COZY Cottage steps away from the beach.

SharonRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Andreina was a great host. I booked her place for a guest of ours and she was quick to answer any questions and was really accommodating to our guest who had pets. Her place was in a great location, private but not too far from town. The house was just as the pictures said and kept really clean, she made our guest feel right at home! I would recommend her place and I look forward to working with her again in the future!!

Your guide to Lake Simcoe

Welcome to Lake Simcoe

Centered on southern Ontario’s largest inland lake (other than the Great Lakes, that is), the Lake Simcoe region is part suburb and part outdoor getaway. Starting just an hour north of Toronto, it’s close enough to the city to seem like part of the metropolitan area, but the lakeside setting offers more of a holiday feel. You can swim, kayak, or go boating on the lake; hike or ski in the nearby hills; and cycle along the lakeshore or through adjacent wetlands on gentle rail trails. Lake Simcoe is part of the historic Trent-Severn Waterway, originally constructed in the mid-19th century and now a popular route for recreational boaters travelling between Lake Ontario and Georgian Bay.

The Lake Simcoe region’s largest city is Barrie, which is the transit hub and the best place to stock up on supplies. If you’re interested in local history, visit the Simcoe County Museum in Minesing, 15 minutes northwest of Barrie. Another scenic community is Orillia, on Lake Couchiching at the north end of Lake Simcoe. Noted Canadian humorist Stephen Leacock summered in Orillia, and his former home is now a museum about his life. Several smaller towns surround the lake, so there’s plenty to explore.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Lake Simcoe

Summer and fall are peak seasons to stay in one of Lake Simcoe’s cottage rentals, when you can enjoy swimming, boating, and fishing on the lake, or hiking, cycling, and other activities outdoors, as well as the region’s music and art festivals. The autumn colours are usually most vivid in October — a great time for bike touring or road tripping. The Lake Simcoe region has several family-friendly ski hills for alpine skiing and snowboarding and gets plenty of snow for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing between December and March. Spring weather can be variable, as it is throughout Ontario, with days changing quickly between warm temperatures, cold, and rain.


Top things to do in Lake Simcoe

MacLaren Art Centre

Barrie’s art museum, the MacLaren Art Centre, is worth a stop for its collection of contemporary Canadian artwork and for the special exhibitions on view. The museum encompasses the city’s former library, constructed in 1917, and a modern addition, making the building almost as intriguing as the art. If you’d rather stay outdoors, Barrie also has a collection of public art that you can check out as you walk around the city.

Barrie Farmers’ Market

Need snacks for the road or food for the house? The year-round Barrie Farmers’ Market, one of the longest-running farmers’ markets in Ontario, sells local vegetables and fruits, cheeses, prepared foods, sweet treats, and more. The market is located outside City Hall from May through October and inside the building the rest of the year.

Sibbald Point Provincial Park

On the eastern side of Lake Simcoe, Sibbald Point Provincial Park is a popular camping spot, but even if you’re just day-tripping, you can enjoy the lake beaches, go canoeing, or take a hike.
