Cottage vacation rentals in Kawartha Lakes

Although it was a last-minute booking made in a rather urgent situation, the host’s exceptionally warm and thoughtful communication immediately put us at ease. Thanks to their kindness. This place turned out to be far beyond our expectations. Cozy and beautifully designed, the cabin is nestled among trees, offering a tranquil view of the water and the soothing sounds of birds singing in the surrounding forest. If you’re looking for a stay that offers both peace and delight, this is truly a perfect choice.

Daniel gave a thorough intro message of specifics the day of on top of what was already so clearly laid out. The property was beautiful with access to so many activity options. House is clean and spacious. We spent a lot of time on the dock which had a great selection of furniture and sun/shade options. The beach is a close walk. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend and will likely be back to enjoy the space again!

Beautiful cottage with great amenities – the hot tub was a definite bonus! We loved relaxing in the gazebo, especially in the evenings. The space is well-kept, cozy, and perfect for a peaceful getaway. Just a heads up for anyone booking with fishing in mind: this isn’t the ideal spot for that. Otherwise, a wonderful stay!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage in the woods! It was clean, spacious, and incredibly peaceful — the perfect nature escape. The hot tub was amazing, and the game room was such a fun bonus. We also loved how cozy and comfortable the beds were, and the living room and big kitchen made it easy to relax and enjoy meals together. Just a heads-up: there are quite a few mosquitos, so be sure to bring some bug spray. Other than that, everything was perfect. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a quiet getaway surrounded by nature!

We had an amazing time, the cottage was kid friendly while still being a fun place for adults to hang out! The sauna was great, the hot tub has cool treetop views of the lake, the dock was massive and offered plenty of space to hang out. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a cottage this summer!

Had a great stay! Beautiful property with lots of room and amenities!

Penny’s place was great: every little detail has been thought through, instructions clear, host very responsive. The house and surrounding area were beautiful - clear lake; lots of outside sitting areas, bbqs, hot tub, fully furnished kitchen, etc. The house was spotless - very clean; lots of towels, robes, linens. Lastly, Penny was very accommodating and kind given that we had one older person in our group with limited mobility (the house is well equipped for accessibility - super rare for AirBnbs). Thank you, Penny!

This was a great cottage stay for 3 people. It’s smaller, but doesn’t feel cramped, and the open concept, as well as all of outdoor areas really make the space feel a lot larger. Almost everything is modern and fresh. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you’d need. The beds are also quite comfortable. The internet accessible tv was a bonus, as was the hot tub. The photos are highly accurate. The hosts also get back to you, within an hour. The neighborhood was very quiet, even on a June weekend. I’d very much recommend this place. For negatives, I’d really have to “nitpick”: the bbq and dock/steps to water could use a refresh, but that’s a minimal “complaint” - since everything worked and were easy to use.

My family and I stayed at Ashley’s cottage for three weeks during home renovations and had such a great experience! The place was so clean and beautiful, it genuinely felt like home to us. Ashley went above and beyond to ensure we were happy and comfortable. We couldn’t ask for a better host!

Mubeat was a phenomenal host. She was very accommodating to our needs and so easy to talk to. I felt her priority was for us to have a lovely time at her place, and we did!

The place was beautiful, looking out onto a lake with clean swimmable water. And there was a beach only 5 minutes away. Everything inside the house was clean and well-stocked. Richard was also very responsive with any inquiries. Overall, a great place, very well worth it!

Great stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Check-in was smooth, and the host was friendly and responsive. The area was peaceful, and everything we needed was available. Would definitely stay here again!

My family had an amazing stay. The house is beautiful, the views are stunning. House is very well equipped. Thank you for a relaxing vacation!

Had a great stay at Lambs Landing with a group of friends. Debby & Tyler were extremely responsive and great hosts. The amenities were exactly as described / pictured and the home was extremely clean. Looking forward to staying again in the future!

The cottage was well furnished with modern appliances and amenities. We enjoyed lounging, barbecuing and eating on the back deck which got plenty of sunlight throughout the day. At nighttime, there is a firepit with seating by the waters edge where you can watch the sunset and stargaze. It's located on a calm spot of Cameron lake, which itself is very shallow and sandy, so great for swimming. The provided kayaks and stand-up paddleboard are great amenities which allow you to explore the lake. The location is also very close to town (~3 min drive), where you can find a brewery, a couple restaurants and little shops. Would stay again!

This was our second year of staying at Jessie's and that should speak volumes of how much we like the place as well as the hosts (Jessie & Jeff). The property is fairly large and ideal for a small family of 4 or 4/5 adults who would be looking to spend some quiet time reading books, drinking wines and (maybe) reminiscing about the high school days. The kids can play in the backyard or fish from the docks. The lake offers good fishing opportunities. Jessie is indeed a superhost. She is always friendly, always resposive and ready to make her guests' stay enjoyable. Hopefully, we would be back next year to stay at Jessie's again.

We had a fantastic stay at the cottage as a group of five! The place was super clean, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for both comfort and fun. The surrounding forest and lake were absolutely beautiful—peaceful, private, great for a summer getaway. As expected during the summer, there were lots of bugs outside, but the cottage was well-prepared for that. Bug screens and other thoughtful touches kept the indoors totally bug-free, so we could relax comfortably without any issues or worries. Communication with the hosts was excellent—they were incredibly responsive and accommodating. Anytime we had a question, they replied right away with helpful solutions. They went above and beyond our expectations to make sure our stay was smooth and worry-free. We couldn’t have asked for better hosts!

A cozy, large cottage in an absolutely beautiful location! Christopher was very quick to respond and answer our questions. Definitely recommend staying here!!

What a great place! We had 11 people. 6 adults and 5 children. There were beds for everyone and because the weather was crap (totally not Byron’s fault - LOL) we were inside most of the weekend. There was enough space and internet bandwidth to keep everyone happy and engaged! Everything was comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed! Hope to rent this next year for family fun weekend!

great location. everything was clean. I didn't know what to expect going there, but after staying there for three nights I definitely would recommend this place for anyone, especially couples or people with small children. The water is not deep and perfect for swimming, but a little cold for me

My friends and I had a great stay! We loved the multiple outdoor seating areas and the easy access to the water. The stairs down to the water are steep but we were able to get our stand-up paddle boards down more easily than we initially thought. We also made use of the kayaks and had fun exploring the area by water. The kitchen was very clean and had everything we needed to cook and also bbq. Walkable to the grocery store and into town. The wraparound couch was perfect and so comfortable for all of us to lounge on in the evenings. Great place!

The cottage was clean, well-stocked, and thoughtfully designed to provide everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The host was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had all the information and support we needed throughout our stay. If you’re looking for a tranquil retreat to recharge and reconnect with nature, this lakeside cottage is the perfect choice.

This cottage was perfect for our family get-away this June. The cottage was comfortable, clean and quiet. The deck offered a beautiful view of Four Mile Lake and our family spent most of our time there when we weren't out exploring. Thank you Kaitlyn!

The location by the lake is lovely.
