Cottage vacation rentals in Elephant Lake

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.

Greg’s place is a perfect cottage: homey enough to feel comfortable yet special enough to feel like a treat. The view out the huge window is a lovely mix of sloped pathway/stairs, trees, lake, island in lake and more lake in the distance. The main room has the most comfortable couch and the 500 movies include something for everyone. We especially loved the wood-fired sauna down by the lake. I hope to stay here again!

I had the best stay ever! This charming cottage exceeded all my expectations. It's absolutely stunning, with beautiful decor and a cozy ambiance that makes you feel right at home. The cottage is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, from a well-stocked kitchen to plush linens and towels. The location is wonderfully peaceful, surrounded by nature, which adds to the relaxing atmosphere. Plus, the hot tub was the perfect touch—soaking in it after a day of exploring was an absolute delight! Overall, it was a perfect getaway.

We had an incredible stay at this Airbnb! The home was clean, beautifully decorated, and incredibly inviting. The highlight for us was the hot tub, which was perfect for relaxing after a long day. The barbecue area was also great for cooking meals outdoors while enjoying the fresh air. Being right by the lake made the experience even more special – we loved waking up to the stunning views and taking in the peaceful surroundings. Overall, this place was the perfect blend of comfort, beauty, and relaxation. Highly recommend! Kevin was proactively ensuring we were comfortable. Would definitely revisit in the summer!

We had a great weekend at The Cove! We enjoyed the fire pit, hot tub and the views. We played board games from home & tried some new ones in the selection at the cottage. It was spacious & private, which was exactly what we were looking for.

Emily was a great host! She accommodated our request for a slightly earlier check-in, as we were dropping our son off earlier at his camp. She answered and got back to me quickly. The house was clean and tidy, and the beds and pillows were very comfy, which made for a good night's sleep. We did not use all the amenities (ie. Hot tub) as we were busy most of the days snowmobiling. The trails are close. We did not access off the property as there was so much snow, no fault of Emily's at all; we just didn't feel like breaking trails through her property to get to the lake. Emily is a great host, and I would highly recommend her property.

This cottage is fully equipped with everything you will need to feel at home during your stay. It is very cozy, clean and updated. They did not slack on the finishes, including large windows on the back for your view of the the beautiful deck that overlooks Brady Lake and includes a table for outdoor dining, umbrella, barbecue and hot tub! Lots of board games and outdoor games available as well. This cottage is also pet friendly and the owners go over and above to accommodate your furry friend(s). We had a fabulous time and made my birthday celebrations one to remember.

Kathryn and Lora's place was beyond our expectations. Everything was as described in the listing and so much more. I felt like if you could name it, they had it. My nieces and nephews were thoroughly impressed and didn't want to leave. They made lots of use of the hot tub, loved the projector TV and playing the games. The property is beautiful and we appreciated all the amenities. The built in speakers throughout were a hit. Everyone had a great time and I would highly recommend staying here. It's a great winter getaway place and I can only imagine it would be great for summer as well.

Awesome place to stay, gorgeous house and very comfortable.

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

Warren was a great host and very readily available to respond. The cottage was even nicer than described and how it came across in pictures. Everything there to enjoy an amazing stay and take in the beautiful and peaceful space. Great winter getaway and could only imagine how great it would be in the summer. One of those places ya wish you were there for a longer stay.

Everything that we could possibly need was here. We came to the area for snowmobiling and it was beautiful. Easy access to trails, pretty much just at the end of the road. The cottage was clean, fully stocked kitchen pots, pans, Everything. Views were beautiful, neighbors quiet.

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!!

Wonderful stay. Cottage was cozy. Everything that we needed was there. Beautiful views. Had a relaxing weekend. Would recommend

Thank you, Xaoxu, for hosting my friends and I! Our group was a mix of Canadian and exchange students, and the memories we made here will last a lifetime. It was the perfect send-off for their time in Canada, from cooking traditional dishes together to roasting s’mores by the fire and simply enjoying nature. The cabin had everything we could possibly need—plenty of fuzzy blankets, video games for some fun downtime, and a kitchen stocked with equipment that made cooking together even more special. Your quick and thoughtful communication made booking seamless, and your clear instructions ensured we had everything we needed throughout our stay. I also cannot thank you enough for coordinating the safe return of my laptop as a University student with no car, even after we’d been reminded to check my belongings! We truly appreciate your hospitality and would love to stay again in the future!

We had a great stay! The host welcomed us in person and took the time to show us around the apartment, which was very thoughtful and helpful. The place was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable. Thank you for your warm hospitality — we really appreciated it!

Our stay was perfect, chalet had everything you could ask for and more! We stayed for work so we didn’t get a chance to go to the beach, or play any of the ample board games, but the kitchen was wonderfully stocked and the shower had great water pressure! Could not have asked for a better stay!

Was very comfortable to stay at Thomas's cottage. We stayed with 4 adults and 4 kids in the winter. The sauna was especially nice. The kitchen was well stocked. Everything worked well and communication was great.

We enjoyed a couples weekend getaway to unwind surrounded by nature, taking advantage of nearby trails in the area. Hosts are very responsive and helpful. We hope to return!

To start, this is what an Airbnb should be when someone lists “secluded and quiet”. Couple days away from the 9-5 craziness was exactly what this property provided. Parul communicated quick and efficiently, and was readily available when messaged with any questions. Property is amazing, even during the winter (Hot tub is an awesome little added bonus). The furry pals that came along (2 German shepherds) had a blast as well. Looking forward to returning in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to stay to anyone.

Once again we had a great stay! This was our second year staying at Kunals' place and it was just as we expected. Kunal went above and beyond to accomodate us. Unfortunately a wk. before, due to a bad storm, the liner of the pool was damaged so the pool was inoperable. This is one of the main highlights of Kunals' place for us so it was a little disheartening because we were there for 8 days...HOWEVER, once again Kunal came through!! He purchased an 18ft back up pool and had it assembled and ready to go for our arrival so that we could still enjoy a pool!! My sister and I had a great time, enjoyed the peace and quiet and would stay at Kunals place over an all inclusive Carribbean trip anyday! House was clean, comfortable and we had everything we needed. Kunal gave us late checkout which was greatly appreciated! We will definitely be doing an extended stay next summer and are so looking forward to it! Thanks Kunal, you are a great host and we thank you for being so accomodating!!

Mihaela's cottage was a lovely little place surrounded by trees. Despite its location deep down the cottage roads, it took less than 15 minutes to drive wherever we needed to go (Buckhorn, Bobcaygeon, Kawartha Highlands Signature Park). The cottage itself was comfortable and clean, but we especially enjoyed the lovely firepit and jacuzzi 😄 Mihaela was also a responsive and understanding host, leaving plenty of clear instructions and responding to questions in record time. Overall we had a great stay and I would happily recommend this cottage to others!

We had a great Christmas week at Jeff’s beautiful cottage which is ideal for families or friends. The house is well equipped for a big group making for a pleasant and comfortable stay. We loved listening to Jeff’s vinyls by the fire and being surrounded by nature thanks to the large windows overlooking the river. I would love to come back in the spring or summer to discover different seasons on the river!

Enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property, has everything you need. We stayed the week of valentines and couldn’t have asked for more. I could only imagine how perfect it would be in the summer with the water sports and many other amenities this property offers. Erika and Adam were kind and responsive and helped us with all our needs!! Definitely would go again.
