Holiday rentals with lake access in Western Europe

This house was exactly as shown in the listing—beyond beautiful and peaceful! We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to stay here for two months when we needed it. Thank you for opening your home to us!

We visited Phillip’s lake house for a long weekend to celebrate our daughter’s upcoming 17th birthday, along with a few of her friends and our family. Within 20 minutes of being there, our daughter asked us if we could rent again this summer! The house is beautifully appointed (the girls loved the leopard stair runners!), and the home was absolutely pristine. The owners have left no stone unturned when it comes to detail, instruction and comfort, and there was plenty to entertain our crew inside and out! The surroundings are somewhat ethereal, not to mention peaceful, even with 6 teen girls, a ten year old boy, and our pup! We all loved that he got to join us, and being the water dog he is, he was in heaven! Our favorites were exploring the lake in the canoe and other water toys, so generously provided, and star gazing on the dock! We can’t wait to visit again! This home may have become our new Highlands tradition!

This place was such a wonderful, peaceful place with a relaxing view of the water from the porch or the option of sitting on the deck at the water or waterside on the patio was so nice. The house was very clean and comfortable. Easy to access and the hosts were very responsive. It was only 10-20 mins away from just about anything you’d like to do around Hot Springs. Thanks for sharing your beautiful, quaint lake house with us!

Girls weekend at Van Etten Lake. House is adorable with plenty of amenities. The back deck is as where we spent most of our time. Large and comfy. We had a bonfire one night (thanks for leaving us some wood - it’s hard to gather on motorcycles ;)). Beds were comfortable and there were plenty of linens and towels. We had a beach day in Oscoda and we want to come back! Found some nice spots for dinners. The weekend was over way too soon! Thanks for a great spot!

Exactly as described. Very clean and easy to find. Would recommend to anyone!

Amazing location with an incredible view.

Carol and Scott are always great hosts. We will continue to stay with them when we are up that way.

We enjoyed our family fishing weekend at Albert's home!!! Not many fish were caught, but lots of memories made! 😀 The home had plenty of room for us all to have our own space, but the family room and dining area was big enough for us all to be together too! Albert was very responsive when we had questions! The unique location...right on the lake, was a great plus for ice fishing! Literally, the water was 5 feet from the back door! Great place to enjoy family or friends!!

Kevin and Linda were very helpful with getting into the space. It was clean and accessible. The views were the best part. I would consider staying again in warmer weather.

Mitch has a lovely home with beautiful surroundings (Lake Champlain for kayaking and listening to the water lap on the shore, view of mountains across in the Adirondacks), local walks in the area are nice. Hiking not far away. We went into Burlington for a concert. Nice to realize that Mitch is related to a close friend of mine. A very peaceful spot,

Lovely place RIGHT on the lake. My husband and I went for a date weekend of ice fishing and relaxation. Yes-it was a perfect spot to walk out and fish despite the quantities of snow! Restaurants all right there in walking distance- hours are different than what is on menus or online so be aware. Very clean and cozy place that was spacious and warm. We will definitely keep it on our list for the future!

We had an unforgettable stay with Leslie and Ian . The view from the apartment was gorgeous in the snowy February weather . We felt deeply comfortable and protected from the elements inside. Equipped with Amazon Alexa , my fiancée and I got the opportunity to enjoy our books to peaceful music and set a soundtrack to our morning routines . In the winter months , as Leslie and Ian state in their ad , winter tires or all wheel drive are a must for the steep driveway . Before a big night planned at Tall Trees restaurant, my Nissan with all season tires got stuck in the snow on the driveway . Ian immediately came to our aid and assisted us with the many tools at his disposal , freeing us from the snowbank and saving our night . This kindness and hospitality will not be forgotten . An excellent stay !

Had an amazing stay! Will definitly be staying with sandra in the future! Thank you so much!

Always a pleasure to stay at this property and enjoy being at Lake Ella. Can’t wait to return.

Lovely apartment in a beautiful setting yet still very easy to walk into Enniskillen centre. We stayed with our two young kids and a baby and a baby and had everything we needed. The apartment was very clean and the kids loved the swing in the garden. The kitchen is small but very well equipped. Would highly recommend.

Great location, host was very friendly and helpful

Melissa's property was exactly what we needed - super peaceful, clean, and cozy. Everything was exactly as described, and we had a very comfortable stay in the house. The property and lake were beautiful, and we had a great time! Melissa is a great host, super responsive, and very helpful with details for the house like getting our trash to the dump and recommending local spots.

Michael's place was perfect for a quick winter get-away! It was stocked with everything we needed for the weekend and beautiful on the inside and out. Michael was really responsive when we had questions and made sure we had all the information needed. Would definitely visit again!

Very responsive host, easy to communicate with! When something is missed by the cleaner, frank was able to help us with solution. The place is very quiet and peaceful, very recommend for small families.

Was a great place to get away from the city hustle and bustle and was a nice way to recharge and recenter

Jessica is an amazing host. There were so many extras. We loved the kayaks and canoe that they were kind enough to let us use. Spent most of our day in the water. Very clear water. Kid friendly. A zillion stars at night and coffee with the pretty Sunrise. We were ages 3 to 64 and all had a blast. We never wanted to leave. Fast response to questions. Easy check in. Easy to find. Clean. Had everything you need to cook. Many fun places near to explore. We even fished for Salmon. We highly recommend and would love to come back. You will not be sorry if you stay. Thank you Thank you

Super location Perfect weekend by the lake Snowshoeing and winter leisure with family and friends.. we'll be back soon thank you again for these memories

A dream rustic cottage space! This location is wonderful, thoughtfully set up and run. With many sweet and homey details throughout the space and hosts (Darrnel and Mike), are genuinely welcoming and thoughtful. This gem is very family friendly with an all around feel good atmosphere. Our large family enjoyed the humble lakeside access and nearby waterfall.

Very clean and beautiful surroundings. Private and all the convenience’s of home yet feels like a cabin in the bush. Will definitely go back.
