Cottage vacation rentals in Lake of Bays

Beautiful home. I cannot describe how pretty it looks with the natural frozen lake surroundings, you really have to see it for yourself. Everything was spotless, great location close to Walmart, Bulk Barn, Pet Store and even some Tesla superchargers if you're coming in an EV. The outdoor jacuzzi was a wonderful addition. Kitchen is fully stocked with all appliances and things you'll need (and more)! Neighbourhood is very quiet and the surrounding residences are filled with friendly folks. Only thing to make a note of is the fire pit is not accessible during the winter due to the massive amounts of snow near and on it. All in all, 10/10 would highly recommend and would love to return.

The cottage was lovely! We had no trouble using the kitchen, grill and firepit. We had a beautiful view of the lake, access to kayaks and a canoe, and really clean rooms and washroom. Definitely exceeded our expectations!

Our family absolutely loved our stay! The beach was sandy with shallow water - perfect for swimming and kids play. We felt rejuvenated after trips with the kayaks, wood fired saunas and coffees on the dock. The location is close to shops and restaurants as well. The cottage had all the amenities and was squeaky clean. The hosts were very responsive and proactive with their messages and never left us hanging. We will totally be booking 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.

Beautiful cottage! Makes you feel at home.

Had a great time at cottage. Great Location on a nice calm Lake. Very easy check-in. Staff very friendly. Very Clean and nice kitchen and BBQ. Would definitely recommend staying here. The Dome and other huts on property would be fun to stay at as well. Have already recommended this property and will probably be back.

This was our second visit to James & Marisol's cottage and we loved our stay just as much this time around. The location, the scenery and being on the lake... absolutely breathtaking. If you ever want a nice getaway, look no further because this is a hidden gem. The interior is gorgeous with a nice rustic vibe & ideal for relaxation. Sitting on the beautiful Brandy Lake, it was perfect for us to do some canoeing & kayaking. Most of all, hanging around by the dock in the sun was our favorite part. We highly recommend this brilliantly hosted cottage to everyone looking to have a wonderful time in beautiful Muskoka!

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

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.

Kerry's place was fantastic! One important thing to note is that guests need to provide their own linens, pillows, towels, and toilet paper/paper towels. This information is found in the "About the Space" section, but it’s crucial for guests to know, especially since we arrived at night when it was quite cold and hadn’t brought any supplies. I recommend that this information be included in the welcome message when a guest books the property to avoid similar situations. On the day we arrived, the heater stopped working, but Kerry was quick to assist us and sent an electrician to address the issue. Fortunately, there is a chimney in the cottage, and once we lit it, the space became warm and cozy. As first-time cottage visitors, it truly felt like an adventure. The place is magical, and Kerry is an outstanding host. Thank you for everything!

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.
