Spacious, pet friendly home w/ hot tub and dockage
Morgan was great at hosting and quickly responded to questions during our stay. The house is well furnished with modern appliances, excellent kitchen, bathrooms, fenced back yard for taking the dogs out, and bed linens are top quality. Very comfortable stay. Too bad the lake effect storm moved in so we had to leave a day early to get ahead of the storm we would be driving through. Informed Morgan and she offered a little discount for our inconvenience. All in all it was a very good experience.

Lovely Cottage with Access to the Water
We totally loved Mexi’s place. It was super relaxing and restful for us. It was so comfortable, it felt like home. Mexi is very easy to communicate with which made it nice. Thanks, Mexi! And… Mexi had everything you might need on your visit away… from blow dryer and straightener, to shampoo/conditioner/body wash, and much more. One spot we really liked a lot was the porch. So peaceful. You won’t be disappointed. We would come back.

Hummingbird Haven
We had an exceptional experience at this place! The environment was tranquil and the surroundings were simply beautiful. The host was incredibly friendly, providing us with all the necessary instructions and even helping out when we encountered a minor hiccup with the fire. The adorable animals on the property were a delightful bonus, and we were even treated to some fresh duck eggs! Highly recommend this place for a peaceful and enjoyable retreat.

Harmony villa. Pool, H/Tub, Sauna, BM& V/B
Tats place was great, well maintained. There could be additional seating in the lounge to accommodate more people. There was a small issue with water but Tat was quick to respond and resolve. Overall our stay was comfortable and would recommend

Lakehouse & Tiki Hut on Guffin Bay
My family and I had a wonderful time at the cottage! It was perfect!! Highly recommend.

Forest Mills Cabin Retreat
The stay was incredible! I would say that the pictures matched, but it was so much more than what we expected. The space was bigger, was really well taken care of, and the owners were amazing people. Even when a minor issue happened, they were right on top of it and it didn't affect our stay in the slightest. I would 100% come back

Quaker cottage lake house, ICE fishing
So comfortable and peaceful . It was a short stay but everything was just right - will recommend to family !

J&D Cottages - Blue Cottage - Waterfront/Fishing
Super easy check-in process. We arrived much later than planned, took a bit to figure out the parking situation but once we figured out where we were supposed to be the rest of the stay went very smoothly. Fantastic location, very peaceful, if it had been a little less windy that weekend we would have totally started a fire in the fire pit and sat by the water to enjoy the view. The cabin itself is very cozy, in a good way; efficient kitchen (not exactly set up to cook a full dinner but plenty fine for breakfast, though you wouldn't want to with Mimi's place not even 10 minutes away). One thing to note, the shower head is pretty low (I am under 6' and had to bend down a bit to get my head wet; on the plus side, I finally know how tall people feel!). Cabin had two full size beds, not ideal for a family but it worked out with the little one slept on the couch. Wifi was reliable for the most part, signal did drop sporadically. Overall, awesome place, will stay again.

Your guide to Kingston
Welcome to Kingston
Canada’s first capital city mixes historic sites, arts venues, and outdoor activities. Tour Bellevue House National Historic Site to learn more about the country’s early days, or visit Fort Henry, an early-19th-century British fort that’s now a living history museum where costumed interpreters march in military bands or teach lessons in the fort’s schoolhouse. Home to Queen’s University, Kingston also has several museums and a waterfront performing arts centre with regular concerts and lectures.
You can base yourself in Kingston to explore the Thousand Islands region along the St. Lawrence River, head for the hiking trails and lakes of Frontenac Provincial Park, or paddle to see the Indigenous pictographs on the cliffs above Mazinaw Lake in Bon Echo Provincial Park. Back in town, Kingston has lots of good restaurants and bakeries, and you can find fresh produce and other local foods at the Kingston Public Market, Ontario’s oldest continuously operating public market.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Kingston
While the warm, humid summer is Kingston’s busiest season, the best time to stay in one of the area’s cottage rentals is in the fall (and the months leading up to it), when the large crowds have returned home, the weather starts to cool, and arts activities are back on the calendar. In July and August, Fort Henry hosts weekly Sunset Ceremonies with music and fireworks over Kingston Harbour. The autumn colours around Kingston are normally most vibrant in October, making it a good month to head outdoors. Many Kingston-area attractions are closed between mid-October and mid-May, during Ontario’s cold, snowy winters. Winter is best for an arts- and food-focused visit, or for cocooning indoors by the fire.
Top things to do in Kingston
Kingston Penitentiary
Canada’s oldest maximum-security prison housed many of the country’s most infamous criminals, beginning in 1835, when the imposing stone structure opened on the Kingston waterfront, until it closed in 2013. On a tour of “The Pen,” your guides, many of whom are former prison guards, walk you through the cellblocks, recreation yard, and isolation units, and share stories of life on the inside. For even more details about Canada’s prison history, stop into Canada’s Penitentiary Museum in the former warden’s residence opposite the prison, which includes sobering exhibits about how prisoners were disciplined through the years.
Agnes Etherington Art Centre
This modern art museum on the Queen’s campus exhibits works by Canadian and international artists. Among the noteworthy collections at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre are contemporary Canadian artwork, works by Indigenous creators, and Canadian historical art.
The Thousand Islands
From Kingston, you can reach some of the more than 1,800 islands in the St. Lawrence River in the Thousand Islands region that spans both sides of the Canada-U.S. border. Take a boat cruise from Kingston’s waterfront, or kayak around the islands in nearby Thousand Islands National Park.
