Cottage vacation 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.

I stayed at this property during a recent work trip to Haliburton., and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The space was spotless, well-maintained, and thoughtfully set up to accommodate both work and relaxation.The host was professional, responsive, and made the check-in process seamless. I would highly recommend this property to other business travelers or anyone looking for a quiet and comfortable place to stay in the area. I would not hesitate to return.

An incredible property with plenty of space and activities! Highly recommend for a family or friends getaway. Jason was also a great host: easy to communicate with and accommodating.

The cabin was great! The only thing I was disappointed about were the neighbours so close on either side. The place was immaculate & super cute! My bf & I decided not to go anywhere that weekend, enjoyed the space, each other's company, it was the perfect spot for that. The hot tub was magical LOL we loved the record player & found these little handheld games in the kitchen cabinet. Yahtzee had us playing against each other and trying to beat the high score of whoever came before us LOL The Hudson had everything we needed. it's too bad we couldn't get to the kayaks, if the river was warm enough there's no doubt we would have used them. If I had any questions Mandie answered them within 30 minutes or so, she was great! Thank you so much!

Wonderful Cottage in a great location. Close to Port Carling and Huntsville for day trips. Huge property with amazing views!! Hot tub was big, clean, and in a convenient spot. Nice to have laundry on site. Would return happily.

What a sensational weekend get away. This cottage had it ALL! Brilliant decor, a kitchen that I would love to have in my own home! Such a well thought out layout and gathering areas for relaxing, eating and playing games. The decor….amazing. The games room, simply spectacular, and the downstairs tv area, just wonderful. The views were off the charts, beautiful, and we had the most incredible weekend. Erika was very accommodating and flexible with check in etc. The kitchen is well stocked and we had an exceptional weekend. Would rent again.

Karen’s place was a wonderful weekend getaway. My family and I really enjoyed the beautiful cottage, amenities and appreciated the detailed instructions for arrival and check in. We also appreciated the instructions provided and how quickly the host was to reach and communicate with. Would highly recommend for a beautiful getaway.

The place was lovely and Emily is a really responsive helpful host. She gave us loads of info ahead of check in and also added local recommendations. The view onto the lake is wonderful and we had everything we needed for a great stay!

Had such a wonderful stay in Muskoka - the house is wonderfully well equipped with everything you'd need for a weekend away. Stunning views of the lake and spacious home to relax in! Having a car is a real must just given the area and proximity to amenities in town etc! Hosts were really responsive and helpful and the sauna is a real touch on a chilly spring day! Thanks and hope to be back soon!

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!

A great retreat for a New Year’s nest. Loved the hot tub in the snow - and the bunkie! Very relaxing, comfortable. You should organize your food supply carefully though as it would take about 2 hours (40 min to Foodland, 40 min back and 20 min shopping). We were fine as we had brought lots of food with us. Also, the walls between the two bedrooms are very thin, so if you have a snorer….Otherwise, a wonderful property!!

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!

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.

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!

One of the most beautiful properties I’ve ever stayed at. Matt is great to deal with. The cottage was awesome and Dave the neighbour is super helpful and nice. Don’t be scared of river crossing it was smooth and seamless and made everything even more fun. Matt is a good guy and helpful with anything that comes up. The property is full of hiking trails and has awesome water access, great fishing, beautiful spot for a coffee in the morning. The deck is perfect for watching the sunset and the screen room is a great getaway if a little rain rolls through. All in all I’m extremely pleased with my stay in all aspects. Highly recommend.

Very responsive host, easy to communicate with! When something is missed by the cleaner, frank was able to help us with solution. The place is very quiet and peaceful, very recommend for small families.

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.

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.

Really enjoyed our stay, place was clean, location was excellent. Great hosts, communication was great, allowed us early check in. The lake was beautiful and clean. Overall, highly recommend this location, great price point.

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