Family-friendly holiday rentals in Sparrow Lake

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

My family and I had a wonderful winter stay at Watersedge Lakehouse. The cottage was beautiful, peaceful and comfortable. Our host made sure we had all we needed and was very helpful with instructions on staying at the cottage , checking in and local recommendations. The main living room was a perfect place to gather and have a warm fire while looking out at the water. Rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. We also enjoyed the hot tub and the outdoor fire plus the deer wandering about. It was a great place for relaxing and making memories.

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.

A MUST STAY!! Arriving late at night, outdoor lights greeted us & looked like the Idealic atmosphere for a fun weekend. Private & peaceful. We were delighted to find rustic charm, but with modern finishes and amenities. Tamara was so kind to check that we arrived ok & left me a sweet birthday message. We absolutely loved the upstairs bathroom with heated floors, stunning tub, & shower. The kitchen was a dream to cook in, everything you could imagine needing was provided, including ample cocktail glasses. The hot tub was quite big, 5 of us fit in there. The bedrooms were quaint & beds comfy. We just happen to be there during a massive ice storm. However, the cottage was the perfect - lots of wool blankets, the wood burning fire place heat up the cabin quickly & gas stove. Tamara was extremely helpful assisting us by locating safety supplies & great advice on how to ride out the storm. Her kindness & generosity turned our weekend to be one of the best memories, we will revisit for years

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!

This beautiful cottage has room for the entire family to enjoy while still having enough rooms or outdoor spaces for family members to enjoy their own quiet time as well. The lake is beautiful and we look forward to going back in the summer!

A great retreat for a New Year’s nest. Loved the hot tub in the snow - and the bunkie! Very relaxing, comfortable. You should organize your food supply carefully though as it would take about 2 hours (40 min to Foodland, 40 min back and 20 min shopping). We were fine as we had brought lots of food with us. Also, the walls between the two bedrooms are very thin, so if you have a snorer….Otherwise, a wonderful property!!

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 an absolutely magical stay at this lakeside cottage! The attention to detail in the space was remarkable, with every corner thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation. The kitchen was well-stocked, making it a joy to cook meals, and the wood-burning fireplace added the perfect cozy touch for our winter evenings. The views were breathtaking—each window felt like looking at a postcard, with stunning vistas of the lake and surrounding nature. Laura's hospitality truly stood out; she went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for a memorable stay. The location is unbeatable. Being just a short drive to Algonquin Park allowed us to enjoy some fantastic hikes with our dog and we loved returning to the peaceful setting of the cottage afterward. This cottage is a gem, and we can't wait to return. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a serene getaway or a cozy work-from-home option.

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!"

I spent a full week here. This is an older home but has some nice renovations done and it's really clean! It's an older neighbourhood but I felt safe and had no concerns out walking. It's a very quiet, private area but really close to the highway which was great for access to my office. I would definitely stay again. I was even accommodated for an additional night when I made an error in my booking. Thank you for a great stay! 🙏

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 !

We had a wonderful stay with our 2 young kids. Beautiful open space with gorgeous views. Very clean and had everything you needed.

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

We had a wonderful March break week at Mark and Betty's. It's like living in an art gallery! The view was beautiful and a very peaceful and private location. My daughter loved the rooms and toys downstairs and we really appreciated the modern kitchen and fantastic fireplace.

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!

Gary & Mina were excellent hosts. They greeted us for check in and where very accommodating. Any questions we had were quickly answered via the AirBNB app. The house was full of character and had lots of things to do indoors and outdoors. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies, utensils and kitchen wares. There was a washer/dryer centrally located which was great for towels and the Weber BBQ was in top notch condition. Water toys well maintained (2 kayaks, 1 paddle board, 1 canoe and 1 paddle boat). Pool and hot tub worked great, which was a must for our cottage getaway.

What a gorgeous place to get away from the city for a few days. The comfortable studio has everything you'd need during your stay. The fields are great for walking (especially if you have a dog), and there are all kinds of magnificent hiking trails nearby. My arrival coincided with a massive ice storm and Vince and Miranda were in touch every step of the way, keeping me updated on conditions and options. They were a pleasure to deal with. I look forward to returning next time I need a taste of the country.

Idyllic gem on Georgian bay. Perfect for a small family getaway by the lake. The resort pool is a big plus for the kids. Beautiful surroundings and stunning sunsets. Jefferson is a great host. Very friendly and responsive. He kindly accommodated our request.

wonderful hosts who will help to solve any question in a short time, beautiful and clean accommodation that corresponds to the photo, we will be happy to return here again

Definitely will be booking again. Very relaxing!
