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.

Beautiful Lake Vernon Apartment
We had an unforgettable stay with Leslie and Ian . The view from the apartment was gorgeous in the snowy February weather . We felt deeply comfortable and protected from the elements inside. Equipped with Amazon Alexa , my fiancée and I got the opportunity to enjoy our books to peaceful music and set a soundtrack to our morning routines . In the winter months , as Leslie and Ian state in their ad , winter tires or all wheel drive are a must for the steep driveway . Before a big night planned at Tall Trees restaurant, my Nissan with all season tires got stuck in the snow on the driveway . Ian immediately came to our aid and assisted us with the many tools at his disposal , freeing us from the snowbank and saving our night . This kindness and hospitality will not be forgotten . An excellent stay !

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!

WOW! Malibu House in Muskoka
An absolutely amazing stay! The luxury cottage exceeded all our expectations — beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. The serene surroundings and stunning views made it a perfect escape from the city. The host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, ensuring a smooth check-in process. We especially loved the cozy fireplace and the spacious outdoor area. We can’t wait to come back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a luxurious, peaceful retreat!" Would you like to add any personal touches about specific amenities or experiences?

The Hickey Hide-Away
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!

Beachhouse Hideaway - Hot Tub, G-Bay Waterfront
We greatly enjoyed our stay at Erica’s. The house is very cute and although it is old, it felt very quaint with lots of charm, and many areas are more up to date (kitchen appliances, living room, bathroom). We found the space to be clean and it had pretty much everything we needed. The backyard has a patio, hot tub, and dock overlooking the beautiful waterfront. Erica was very communicative and provided helpful instructions. We really enjoyed our stay here!

Waterfront Boutique Cottage Getaway
Had a very nice weekend at Christina's cottage. The place is beautifully decorated and very comfortable to hang out in. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and there's a grocery store 10min away that had everything we needed. There's also a decent restaurant just a block away when we didn't feel like cooking. A few things weren't functioning due to the big ice storm just a few days earlier, but Christina was quick to respond to messages and had someone there to fix things within the hour. There was a little more snow still around than I expected for April, so we didn't use the outdoor amenities very much, but the sauna was still really nice. Port Carling is pretty quiet this time of year, but we did find a few nice hikes nearby to enjoy the scenery.

Lakeside Haven Balsam Swimming Hot tub Relaxing
Our family love this cottage. Setting is great, great location. Balsam Lake is beautiful. Gabrielle is a great host.

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!
Peter was very quick with his responses and took the time to look up what was near the air bnb. The location was amazing since it was right beside a ski resort and 20 minutes away was the most beautiful skating trail in the forest. The air bnb itself was very nice. We cooked dinner and it had everything we needed and seasoning as well. The only thing would be the TV which we didn’t bring a laptop to connect to, which Peter did communicate to us we needed. It was a very great stay and Peter was ever helpful and kind ! Will come back in the summer for the lake.

Huntsville Lakeside & Ski Chalet
We had an excellent time! The pictures don’t do the place justice. Spotless, tvs in all rooms. Balconies on every floor. Very modern and up to date. Would not change anything. We went to Canvas brewing to play games and try the beer, visited Deerhurst with the kids, went for a hike, checked out the indoor saltwater pool (dated, but we had it to ourselves which was nice). Played near the lake as it was beautiful sunny weather. Town is very close for all amenities! Thank you!

Cozy Fairy Lake Getaway
We had an absolutely amazing stay! The house was beautiful, clean, and incredibly cozy, surrounded by stunning scenery that made the whole experience peaceful and refreshing. Everything we needed was thoughtfully provided—the amenities made it feel just like home. We especially loved waking up to the breathtaking views and having a quiet coffee in such a tranquil setting. The Nespresso machine was a lovely touch too! Thank you for being a fantastic host and for creating such a wonderful space. We’d love to come back again!

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
We were extremely happy with the accommodations provided by Matt and Katie. Katie laid out clear instructions which made checking in and checking out a breeze. Everything was spotless and the location is extremely quiet and peaceful. I would highly recommend staying here if you are in the Huntsville area.
