Cottage holiday rentals in Lake of Bays

Our weekend winter getaway was enjoyed by all at this lovely cottage. As soon as we walked in the front door we knew we made the right choice. We went snowshoeing on the lake and even managed to shovel some deep snow off for skating. We also tried Ice fishing but that didn’t work out as the lake was too shallow no matter how far out we went. Hot tub was a bonus and the wood burning stove (wood included) made the place cozy. Host responded quickly to any questions we had. We definitely would recommend this place for a winter getaway.

Lovely weekend getaway amid snowy weather! The cottage is great for two & a furry friend. Our dog appreciated the giant chuck ball and we appreciated the cottage and the hot tub. Place feels homey and captured well in pictures. The only notes we have is to upgrade the pans and the sliding door, as both need some TLC!

Perfect getaway for a snowmobiling crew like ours. Just a quick ride over highway 11 to the main trail.. it was great to come back to a comfortable and clean environment at the bnb. Lots of games to keep you entertained and basketball was a hit! The BBQ and hot tub were great extras. Felt like a home away from home, and Jason was very helpful from the beginning. Beautiful trip all in all!

Had a fantastic trip. Great rental. Clean and spatious. More than enough room for the 7 of us. Great location. Beautiful view.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful cottage! The space was incredibly clean and well-maintained, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The host was very responsive and ensured we had everything we needed. The cottage is spacious, offering plenty of indoor and outdoor activities for everyone. We enjoyed the cozy interiors, as well as the outdoor adventures. The location is perfect—just a 20-minute drive to the ski hill and only 5 minutes to Haliburton village. Highly recommend this peaceful getaway for anyone looking to relax and explore!

Absolute 10/10 experience very cozy and comfortable space hope to be able to return in summer time!

Ashley is a very responsive and accommodating host. The property experience was exactly what we were looking for! Highly recommend!

Went for my birthday & it’s such a cute & cozy cottage! We are regular snowboarders over at Mount St. Louis so the located was great, only a 15 minute drive! Our host was extremely helpful & responsive, cottage was clean when we arrived! We had an amazing time! We will definitely be staying again!

We had a great time at Patrick’s cottage, the location is great, within walking distance from the beach, it’s exactly as described, very clean and comfortable. Highly recommended.

We had a perfect stay with Pam and Bryan. Their accommodation is beautiful, spotlessly clean, with many amenities that make the stay very pleasant. The communication with them was smooth and warm, which made the experience even better. We left delighted and highly recommend their accommodation!

Beautiful and peaceful lakeside cottage! We had a great stay. Host was extremely responsive and helpful. It was very spacious and had good amenities.

I had an amazing stay at Ke’s property and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable getaway. The place was spotlessly clean and tidy, and I immediately felt at home. The firepit was a wonderful touch, providing a cozy atmosphere for the evenings. As a parent, I was especially pleased that my 1-year-old baby was also very comfortable here. The space was safe and welcoming for our little one, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The scenery around the property is absolutely stunning, adding a peaceful and natural beauty that made our experience even more memorable. Lastly, I can’t say enough about the Shannon’s kindness, quick responses, and hospitality. They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and made us feel truly welcome. I am so grateful for their attentiveness and care throughout our stay. Thank you for an unforgettable experience! I will definitely be returning in the future.

My family and I had an absolutely relaxing stay at Vanessa’s cabin ! From the moment I booked, the communication was so seamless. Vanessa was incredibly friendly and very accommodating especially during the beginning of our trip when we first checked in. The home itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities I could ask for. The location of the cabin was absolutely stunning; the view of the frozen lake made waking up in the morning feel very magical (especially with all the snow fall we received those days). I also appreciated the thoughtful touches Vanessa added to our trip such as having firewood ready for us to use and shovelling the pathway from the driveway to the cabin. I felt so at home and couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend staying here, and hope to definitely come back! Thanks again, Vanessa, for making my trip so memorable!

We stayed at Bryan’s over family day weekend and had a great time. The home was spacious and comfortable. We are hoping to return in the summer :)

Lisa's home is exactly the type of accommodations we look for. We love keeping the wood stove going, the personal touches like the handmade counter tops, and the huge bay windows letting in tons of natural light. You can walk down the snowmobile/atv trail before dinner and the next day hike the Old Rail Trail all the way across into the border into Algonquin Park to you heart's content. The town is in the middle of nature and is for nature lovers.

Very nice and cozy place. The host was friendly and let us have a flexible check in. Will be looking forward to potentially booking it again coming summer.

Our family had an enjoyable Thanksgiving weekend at Carol's property. The cabin was cozy and charming, the bunkie was super cute and the deck and fire pit were amazing spots to hang out at. It's a short walk to the water and a convenience store/lcbo. Our only issue was that we didn't stay long enough!

Had the best time at Matthew’s cottage. Loved the private hiking trails, the sauna, hanging out in the screened in room at night, view right from the deck, lots of space inside. Matthew is super helpful, & responsive. Such a unique & private setting (we & the kids especially loved the little water crossing from the car to the cottage, made it feel like we couldn’t go anywhere and had to “unwind from the hustle of everyday life”, but in reality such a short distance we could go back to the car whenever needed) . We will definitely be back! Thanks for hosting our family Matthew!

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!

This is a gem find. It was so comfortable and situated 3 minute walk from a beautiful beach. The kitchen was very well equipped the fire pit, the BBQ the outdoor sitting areas were awesome. The beds were comfortable and we slept so well. There is a huge TV with so many channels and content to watch. So easy to settle into a movie after dinner. Very comfortable sitting area. We were 3 adults and we all had space to have some downtime and also to enjoy our company. We would swim and go for 5 km beach walks and drive to very cute small towns and discover the tasty bakeries and cool stores. Everyone we met was so lovely and very relaxed. We had a wonderful time and recommend this pace to everyone. Peaceful, fully equipped, comfortable and 3 minutes from a beautiful beach! What can be better. Thanks Miguel for your clear communications and your helpful suggestions. We had a blast!

What a wonderful stay this was! The place was clean and tidy, with an amazing and private view of the lake. Host was responsive to questions, I would definitely recommend!

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

We had a fantastic stay at this property! It was impeccably clean and well-maintained, making us feel right at home. The easy access made our arrival and departure a breeze. The hot tub was a highlight, providing the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring. Overall, the property was in top-notch condition, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

Alan & Rosalie’s cottage was everything we could have asked for and more ! It was a perfect place to just relax and recharge after a busy fall and Christmas season. We wanted for nothing, it had everything we needed. Alan met us when we arrived and explained where everything was and how it all worked. My wife and I and our two dogs had a wonderful experience. We will most definitely be doing a return visit. If you are looking for a place to getaway and relax this is the place, highly recommend it ! Thank you Alan & Rosalie !
