Retreat 82
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.

Gorgeous Lakeside*weedfree*boat dock*hottub
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.

Home away from home with a hot tub and pool
Had a great time at Angie's place! Everything was very clear, clean and easy—instructions were left out and amenities were provided. The hot tub was a great bonus to the weekend. We even had a delayed car picking us up, and Angie was very accommodating and understanding about letting us stay slightly longer while waiting for its arrival.

The Hickey Hide-Away
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!

Luxurious waterfront paradise on lake Scugog
Perfect place for holiday, definitely will consider booking again for summer holidays too

Kawartha Lakes Waterfront Chalet

Lakefront Cottage | Firepit | Views | Patio | BBQ
We were working out of town and enjoyed our stay here it was a very nice place. We would recommend this place to anyone

Waterfront Cottages surrounded by nature
This place was amazing and very clean.. They had almost everything we need. I really loved this place and we enjoyed kayaking, canoeing, playing ping-pong and also we enjoyed staying outside with our bonfire. The best part was the hot tub we had time to sat in the hot tub while talking great memories with friends. I highly recommend this place to those families that need peaceful and enjoyable vacation or time off like us.. We drove 5 hours from Windsor and my friends drove 3 hours from Ottawa... The 2 kids were having fun playing with the arcade.... Thanks to the host...

Bobcaygeon Resort - Cottage #1 (Sleeps 6)
I came to this beautiful spot with my wife and five-year-old son in September. Our cottage was perfect for what we needed -- and we all appreciated the AC and hot shower! Our son had a blast playing on the playground, the beach, and activity room. He cried when it was time to leave! We all enjoyed the beautiful lake and the different water toys available, in particular the stand-up paddleboards. My wife and I had never used those before and had a ball! As huge Tragically Hip fans, we loved the various nods to the Hip on the property. Bobcaygeon itself is incredibly charming. We had a wonderful, relaxing time and it was terrific value for money. I'd recommend this to anyone and hope to return soon with some friends. Thanks for such a fantastic family experience!

Eldonia Sunset Cottage
We love all the facilities Duke has provided to our family. The house is clean and tidy with advanced facilities. The backyard is huge and equipped with all you need in the vacation home. Our family enjoyed the whole time, especially the great lake view and quiet private environment. The kids like canoeing in the lake. We highly recommend this vacation home and definitely want to come back to enjoy it in the future. Thank you Duke.

Serenity by the Lake: Lake Waterfront Cottage
Beautiful and peaceful lakeside cottage! We had a great stay. Host was extremely responsive and helpful. It was very spacious and had good amenities.

3 Bedroom Waterfront Cottage Kawartha Lakes
I had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The lake view was absolutely stunning, making the experience even more special. The place was clean, well-maintained, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The host was friendly and responsive, making the check-in process smooth and easy. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic getaway. Can’t wait to visit again!

"Northfork” Lakefront Cottage
Mary Lou was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout our family's stay. The cottage was beautiful and everything we could have asked for. My family has been airbnb-ing twice a year for the last 10 years and we've never re-booked a cottage until now. Our family agreed that we HAD to visit in the summer because it would be even better with all the amenities.

Adorable guesthouse on beautiful Cameron Lake
Sue is the most kind and welcoming host I've had on Airbnb so far! She was responsive whenever we needed her but also gave us full privacy. She is so generous to allow you use all the amenities on her property. The water is so beautiful and the guest home is very cozy. Would recommend Sue's place to anyone. We will definitely be back :)

Sunset Haven
When we arrived Lawrence came out to show us around and made sure we had enough firewood, a fire starter, and propane for the BBQ. Their dog Barkley was very friendly. The place was spotless. Overall great stay and beautiful location!

Newly Renovated 2024! Cozy Pigeon Lake Cottage
My husband and I, along with our two adventurous pups, absolutely loved our cozy cottage escape in the Kawarthas! This place had everything we needed for a peaceful and relaxing retreat. I was pleasantly surprised by the level of privacy, even in a small neighborhood—those tall bushes really made it feel like our own little hideaway. Our dogs were in heaven, running around the beautifully manicured backyard with plenty of space to explore. Inside, the cottage was just as charming, with adorable, cozy bedrooms and a kitchen stocked with everything we needed, whether we were grilling outside or whipping up a delicious meal indoors. The kitchen appliances were spotless and felt brand new. And the view from the living room? Simply stunning! We spent countless hours just soaking in the beautiful lakeside scenery right from the comfort of the couch. Although we didn’t get as much fishing in as we’d hoped, we’re already planning our next trip back! Big thanks to Mel & Stu!

Blue Heron Lakefront Cottage w/ Hot Tub
My group and I had an amazing weekend getaway at Michelle’s!! We really appreciated the special touches and the space was even better than the photos! This property really has a charming vibe. The beds are sooo comfortable and there’s great space to lounge around. Very close to town and we had a nice time shopping and sight-seeing. We also enjoyed the scenic trails that were close by. We can’t thank Michelle and her team enough, the communication was outstanding and they were very quick to problem-solve and get back to us with anything we needed and any questions we had! This team really ensured that we had the best experience possible and it was greatly appreciated because we truly had a lovely time! Can’t recommend enough and would love to enjoy what this property has to offer again in the future! Thank you again for everything Michelle!! 🫶🏼

WELCOME TO BURNT RIVER ESTATE
We had an amazing stay at Oren‘s place. It’s a beautiful property, and the perfect place for a little getaway. Warren was extremely communicative and easy to reach. He helped us navigate through the house with ease. It accommodates up to 16 people and has 14 beds which was more than enough for my entire family. Will definitely be staying here again!

Crego Cove: Your Lakeside Escape *Hot Tub*
Kyle and Danielle were amazing hosts. They were quick to respond and helpful with recommendations in the area. The area was hit hard by the ice storm however Kyle and Danielle worked very hard to get things cleaned up so that we could still come and not have to cancel. Greatly appreciated!!!! The cottage was beautiful, very clean, cozy and relaxing. It was fully equipped with everything you would need. The hot tub was clean and hot and a nice feature to have this time of year. I would highly recommend Kyle and Danielle’s place to anyone.

Victoria was an amazing host, she was more than accommodating. Her place was very well decorated, the beds were so comfy. The hot tub was great.

We definitely would like to go back in the warmer weather too. 100% recommended.
