Family-friendly vacation rentals in Muskoka Lakes

Great winter cottage, super affordable and roomy, with plenty to keep you cozy. The Hosts are friendly, flexible and quick to reply.

Our stay at Nest in the Forest was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at home. The space was warm, cozy, and incredibly spacious—perfect for our group. The beautiful hot tub and sauna were such a treat, making our stay even more relaxing. Every detail of the place was thoughtfully designed, creating a peaceful and rejuvenating atmosphere.

Great communication with Shawn from start to finish, the home was what we expected and equipped with almost everything we needed. Lots of parking available, great spaces for groups to hang out, easy to host team meals. We were there for a ski trip and got pounded with snow, burying all sidewalks and making the walk to villages and chairlifts more difficult - but doable.

Was great stay except Mother Nature wasn’t the nicest Dave and Bonnie are A1 hosts

Michael and Margaret are great hosts. We head up to their place every winter now for a little cottage country escape. They are super responsive and helpful. Their place is warm, cozy, and has a great hot tub under the stars (and under the snow if you’re lucky). We’ll be back again!

Nice home in a quiet and safe feeling neighbourhood. Easy to find and access. Big back yard for kids and dog (although not fully fenced, which was fine as we brought our own leash). We arrived from out of province (via flying) and were surprised to find the beds already made with the necessary linens (we had packed our own via suitcase as per the ad details). But we appreciated the kind gesture had we somehow failed to bring our own! The kitchen is updated (so different from pictures) but still has all the appliances and cooking items a family would need for their stay. Lots of stores (grocery, banks, restaurants, Canadian Tire etc) are within a 10 min drive or less, making “going into town” to grab stuff a breeze. Plus having access to a hot tub, sauna and BBQ are a very nice treat :) We had a very comfortable stay and appreciated Tamila’s prompt responses for any questions we had. Would happily stay again!

The place was as described. Lots of space and kitchen stocked with everything needed. The hot tub was great! The only thing was that the wifi was spotty. Overall would recommend.

2nd time staying at this beautiful cabin. Would stay again and again!! Lovely place to spend a weekend.

We really enjoyed our stay. It was the perfect location for our ice fishing trip. We loved all the little touches that made the place feel like home 💛

DJ's place is a beautiful location and as described. DJ was also accommodating to allow an extra dog. Our weekend away was very enjoyable. I thought there could have been better communication between us and the host/co hosts. There were times where my messages were read immediately but responded to over 24 hours later, or ignored entirely. There were no issues with the place itself. I would return again.

We had a fantastic stay! Beautiful property& great hosts✨ we will for sure be back!

Ryan was a great host and the place was beautiful and located in a great location easy to find. We loved the place and would most definitely stay again if needed.

Sure! Here's a review you can use: "I had a perfect stay at this Airbnb. The space was exactly as described—peaceful, serene, and surrounded by nature. It provided the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. The property was clean, fresh, and well-maintained, making it a truly relaxing environment. The surroundings were beautiful, offering a calming atmosphere. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a tranquil getaway. Would definitely stay again!"

The farmhouse is absolutely beautiful and picturesque. We were there during the biggest snow storm of the year and it felt like we had our own private winter wonderland. She had arranged for a plow to clear the driveway and everything went very smoothly despite getting over a meter of snow in 3-4 days. The house itself is beautiful and is a great mix of old timey charm and character as well as modern amenities (new kitchen, bedroom and bathroom). We especially enjoyed sitting in the living room with the fireplace going while relaxing and riding out the snowfall. This was one of the most relaxing stays we have had with plenty of privacy and beautiful views. It is also close enough for short trips to Collingwood/Blue Mountain. Johanna is also a great host. Although we did not meet face to face, she was very responsive and provided lots of information and local recommendations. She even checked in on us to make sure we didn't get completely snowed in. Overall a great experience!

I can’t say enough positive things about our stay here. It was truly an escape that we got to experience. Great hosts, great place, great atmosphere! The only knock I think I have is that the photos do not do justice!! This place was homey and beautiful, not to say the photos aren’t that but they don’t do it justice! We will surely be back if we’re in Bancroft again!!

Our second stay at Nicks retreat, just as great as the first time! 40 mins drive to Algonquin park, cute bakery and shops in maynooth and a large yard for a full game of football

Beautiful condo, very clean, the most comfortable beds. Only downside is there is no bathtub We will return forsure

This was a beautiful place with great views, only a 5 minute walk away from the village. It was clean with an organized bathroom and kitchen amenities. We weren’t missing anything. There was a nice fireplace with a lot of board games. Super cozy, and a great place to take photos. You also had access to a shared hot tub. Sometimes other people got rowdy at the hot tub, but that is to be expected. Overall this is a great place for families or get togethers for skiers and people that like great restaurants and social events. Thanks, Adam!

Excellent place by a fantastic host. The place was clean, well located and has everything you would need such as kitchen utensils, games + TV, and plenty of clean quality towels. Ulana and Amir were also very friendly and responsive. We enjoyed our stay a lot.

Would highly recommend! A very spacious spot with lots of activities and lovely surroundings. The place is very cozy with the wood burning stove and plethora of candles. Annette was very pleasant, responsive and accommodating! We had a great time playing with her dogs in the snow. We will be back!

This was my third time there, and as suspected, Vince and Miranda's place never disappoints. Great little space with beautiful views and has all you would need for a weekend away. Will surely return.

Jason and Tanya saved our trip after the first Airbnb we checked into was dirty and had mice! They had a last minute cancellation and allowed us to check in right away! They were super helpful in getting us moved over to their place. When we got inside it was beyond clean and comfortable. The kitchen was the best of any airbnb I've stayed in with spotless dishes and useable pots/pans and appliances. The unit is spacious and the beds & linens were extremely comfortable. A million thanks for saving our trip for us! Would highly recommend to anyone.

Great place, close to the hill!

A lovely stay in Blue Mountain with my family for new years! Greg was extremely communicative and was always quick to respond with any inquiries. The location is walking distance to the village and the neighbourhood had the most friendliest people. We felt right at home and Greg's place had all the right amenities for our family's needs. We will definitely come back here for our next stay in Blue!
