Lake house vacation rentals in Lake Simcoe

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.

We rented Amanda's place for 2 nights in the winter and it surpassed our expectations! Amanda was a great communicator. The older cottage has been extensively renovated, it was clean, comfortable and cozy. We loved the wood stove and the heating system worked well. The kitchen is first-rate, and very well-equipped, it even had decent knives! We cook a lot and we very much enjoyed making meals there. We loved watching the ever-changing weather on the river from the picture window in the living room, and even saw a beautiful sunrise. The star of our stay was the sauna—we have a wood-burning sauna at home and at our cottage—and we were very impressed with its size, the modern design, the huge picture window and the style of stove. It got up to temperature even in -17 degree weather. We hiked and snowshoed in the Alexander Hope Smith Nature Reserve which was a walk from the cottage. The town of Washago was a 11 minute drive, with a great grocery store. Would definitely stay there 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!

We had a fantastic stay and would be more than happy to come again! The host was extremely nice and caring and the house is absolutely fabulous. From the views outside to the interior decorating this place was a dream come true. Thank you for having us!

Perfect place for holiday, definitely will consider booking again for summer holidays too

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

amazing location on the waterfront. So relaxing to be away from the city. was great for travelling with kids. thank you for letting us stay

Amazing place! Felt like staying in a tree house. The cottage lives up to the photos. Did I mention we were welcomed with a bottle of wine? ☺️.

Fantastic location! We had a wonderful stay at Jamie-Lee’s property. They had all the amenities listed. The highlight of the stay was the view from the living area- absolutely stunning. Highly recommend to anyone looking for cozy, private, and clean place to stay.

Great little spot in Coburg! The space is thoughtfully decorated and laid out. It’s in great proximity to everything. We really enjoyed our stay!

Really lovely place. Amazing view of the lake and a great kitchen. I'd definitely stay again

The location is amazing, a short walk down the trail to the public beach was a great bonus. The lake is perfect for swimming! The place felt very homey, and the nostalgia of watching a movie on VHS is so much fun. Would recommend this place to everyone!

Farhad is a nice host. Feels like home experience. ♥️

Place was very equipped with everything you need to a perfect getaway from the city. Extra blankets and sheets. Host was quick and very friendly with her responses. Would definitely recommend for anyone trying to just kick back and relax

Art has an amazing cottage for the lovers of the outdoors. he was very responsive and helpful and willing to go the extra mile. we had a great experience and would highly recommend.

This is by far the best Airbnb I have stayed at, and I am a frequent traveler. The house was quite spacious, it had every amenity we needed, and the lake views from all floors of the house were gorgeous. We loved having access to the lake so that we could walk the trail. I appreciated being able to check in at any time, because arrivals after long drives can be unpredictable. The hosts were extremely responsive, answering every question with clarity and quite quickly. They provided us with extra blankets and pillows when we requested them the very next day. I'm sure they might have tried to make it on the same day if we had checked in earlier, but we had arrived late at night. If this house is available, we plan to use it every time we visit the area.

We had a great time during our stay. Water toys made a plus for the trip. Beautiful view, rooms are clean, able to accommodate our requests during our stay. A very cozy and fun place to go!

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.

Tanya and Peter were great hosts. They answered any questions we had and responded quickly. The area was quiet and home was private, it's exactly what we were looking for. Port Hope and Cobourg are very close by if you want to get out for a few hours and eat at a restaurant, get groceries, walk the streets and shop their downtown areas or just want to view the towns old buildings. We also made use of the fire pit on site and enjoyed that with a cup of tea. Overall it was a great experience and would recommend it to anyone that just needs a break.

We had a retreat here and it was a wonderful space for us! There was ample space, the place is better and bigger than pictures and very clean. Host was very responsive. Recommend!

Our stay at the cottage was very enjoyable. The cottage was very clean with all essentials and many pleasant extras included like Keurig machine, bbq, kayaks and canoes, fire pit, and pool. The lake is quiet here with access to it steps from the cottage. A little boat house is also available with many life jackets for adults and kids. Fishing can be done at the dock. Rich was an excellent and responsive host. He answered all my questions promptly and helped us literally within minutes when we needed additional info about the area. We definitely would recommend friends to stay at this lovely cottage!

Herb was an awesome host. Answered all the questions before hand within a matter of time , place was perfect for our weekend , also helpful to have a handbook of things to do , places to visit , local restaurants ect. Would definitely like to return in the summer for a stay on the water !

We had an amazing stay at Matt’s house in Port Sydney, Muskoka! Matt went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed the stunning fall colors and the beautiful setting of the house, and responded to any questions within minutes of me asking. The house itself is incredibly clean and cozy, with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend for anyone looking to experience the beauty of Muskoka!

Our family of 5 had a long term (6 month) stay here due to being out of our house for an insurance claim. The house was amazing, very clean and well maintained. The area is beautiful and very close to the lake and a park. It has two big Smart TVs where you can access your streaming services and Bell channels. Most importantly, Lisa is an amazing host. She had a welcome basket ready for us with some treats when we first arrived. She was extremely responsive and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. She was also very caring and made sure that we had a comfortable stay and felt at home. We would definitely recommend to stay here for either a short or longer term visit!
