Cottage vacation rentals in Lake Muskoka

This is a beautiful place to stay, right on the lake with an amazing view, and a friendly beaver right next door! Our highlights were the hot tub, the fire pit and kayaking on the lake. This spot would be amazing in the Summer. The house is clean and well set up, the 2 downstairs bedrooms are small but just fine for sleeping. There is plenty of room in the rest of the house.

Our family enjoyed a nice, quiet stay at Sarah’s place. The view is beautiful, living space is spacious and comfortable, with good wifi, and fishing at the dock is a great way to enjoy some relaxed time. Sarah is very responsive for questions, which we thoroughly appreciate.

Amazing time at this wonderful cottage. The hosts were very responsive and friendly, and have put a lot of time and energy into making this cottage an excellent stay. The hosts for this cottage clearly have a passion for making people feel right at home. Thoughtfully, they've left notes, instructions, videos, and even created home automations to make staying here as easy as possible. Everything was fully stocked from cutlery, spices, cleaning supplies, linens, etc. there was almost nothing that they missed out on that a group of people might need! The Hot tub and Suna were wonderful additions that we took full advantage of. The bed rooms and guest houses were cozy and comfortable (with AC/heating). The waters were very nice. Sandy lake that doesn't get too deep until much much further out. The dock was well constructed and great for relaxing. Overall, one of the best AirBnB cottages that we've stayed at in years.

This place was beautiful and right on the water. We stayed for three nights and really enjoyed it. We had enough kayaks to have fun in the water. The location was very private and peaceful.

Our stay at this Bala cottage was excellent. The property is beautiful and well-suited for entertaining a large group. We found it to be very spacious and clean. There were plenty of activities available on site, including kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding, as well as a hot tub. Enjoying coffee in the Muskoka chairs by the water, with lake views, was a highlight. We would certainly recommend this cottage.

It is a beautiful, secluded area on Pine Lake with the back facing west (Make sure that you enjoy watching the sunsets from the living room area or the hot tub!). There was plenty of equipment by the dock for us to use and enjoy on the water. The kids enjoyed paddling and swimming in the lake. If you are looking to work remotely, the internet connection was solid as my friend decided to work. If you are looking to switch off and go analog - it rained heavily one day there, but everyone was entertained with the all of the games and puzzles that were supplied at the cottage. Our Great Pyrenees dogs enjoyed roaming the site. We had an issue with the BBQ, but with some quick messaging with Jesse, he was able to get someone out to the cottage to fix the issue. It is a bit of trek to get into the cottage by vehicle, so I recommend that you enjoy the seclusion of the site - it is worth it! However, it is easy to get into town if you need to go there. Thank you Jesse for hosting us!

My friends and I stayed here for a winter weekend away and it was just what we needed/wanted in a little cottage. Great location for those coming from the GTA and nice and close for those in Simcoe. Once we got there we felt right at home! The hosts had cleared the walking paths and back deck of any recent snow fall which made it nice and easy to get inside and enjoy the grounds. They went above and beyond by having the wood burning stove going for us when we checked in which made CARL that much more cozy and welcoming. Communication and instructions were very clear and detailed from start to finish which made the whole rental process easy and enjoyable. My friends and I look forward to coming back to CARL in the future!

Ben was super responsive and on top of our annual reunion since the beginning of us reaching out. Beautiful private location. Lots of space to eat, lounge, play outdoor games and relax Games room and house is nice for those who want to stay up later outside the main house. Sauna and water were a perfect combo in the evening. Beautiful space and would highly recommend!

Me and my girlfriends had an amazing weekend at Ina’s place! The cottage was beautiful and clean. Ina was very responsive to my questions and extremely helpful!

My family was visiting from Ireland, and we wanted to give them a taste of cottage life. This Airbnb went beyond what we could have hoped for. I don't think the pictures do it justice. The island was private, beautifully designed, and spacious enough for six of us to feel comfortable and relaxed throughout our stay. It felt like a home away from home. We spent our days fishing, canoeing, reading, eating well, and soaking in the stunning grounds and beautiful home. As to be expected with any cottage, bring bug spray for the black flies and mosquitos—especially if you're visiting in the warmer months. Stephen was a fantastic host: helpful and easy to communicate with. I'd love to make staying here a yearly tradition :)

Susan is a great host, very responsive and accommodating. The home was fully equipped with everything you would find in your own home, as well everything was clean. Beautiful sunsets on the dock on a peaceful lake. Highly recommend renting the extra kayak and SUP boards.

Beautiful spot with all the amenities. Feels private and secluded yet only a 10 minute drive from downtown Huntsville. James was super accommodating and responsive to our needs, would definitely recommend staying here if you get the chance!

This beautiful home felt like home away from home. There is no attention to detail missed!! This was our first visit but we are already planning for our next. Would definitely recommend.

Our stay at Mike and Elaine’s place was simply amazing. Beautiful spot on the lake. It was so nice to relax on the dock, jump in for a swim, go for a paddleboard or kayak, enjoy the fire at night, or play some games in the screened-in muskoka room. They really have thought of everything here. As hosts, they went above and beyond to make sure our time there was perfect. Couldn’t ask for a better spot, or better hosts.

The cottage was in a great location! We enjoyed the peaceful environment and privacy! There are many hiking trails within in a short drive from the cottage, and Hilary described them in detail which was so helpful for us! We had a lovely stay at the Bunkie on Brandy, and especially enjoyed the view of the night sky from the clearing just behind the cottage!

Bright and spacious cottage in beautiful, quiet surroundings. Plenty of indoor/outdoor amenities to use. The lake was very quiet and relaxing. Plenty of space inside and a very well stocked kitchen. Clare was attentive and quick to respond to any messages. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed staying at the cottage and kayaking on the lake!

Really cute, clean and comfortable stay in Bala far enough away to be quiet and peaceful but close enough to walk to town/The Kee etc. Easy check in, super easy communication with host. Nice details like board games, dog bed, kayaks. We would absolutely stay again.

Very clean log cabin with a priceless view! Would love to come back with friends once the downstairs is finished. Sleep was so comfortable-having quality linens, pillows and mattress made all the difference. We’re fan people, so we brought our own fan which was no big deal!

Such a perfect little getaway spot. Super quiet and private — loved relaxing in the hot tub at night and hanging by the fire. The place has a dock with kayaks and paddleboards, which made the lake time extra fun. Everything was clean and cozy, and it just felt peaceful the whole time. Already planning to come back!

This cottage is perfection. Liane & James are just SO lovely. If you're reading this, don't look any further. Just book it. We couldn't have had a better week at Follie's Cove. The cottage was the perfect mix of modern and rustic. Clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped. We felt at home instantly. The sunroom was the perfect chill spot for us and our two big dogs to get out of the sun/rain without feeling cooped up indoors. The beach was heaven for our dogs, and on a quiet end of the lake, so we saw few other people all week. The quintessential Muskoka experience! Liane and James were *beyond* wonderful. They set us up with a ton of breakfast food and desserts. Even offered to return the day after check-in to drop off more coffee. It truly felt like renting from friends. Highly recommend renting the pontoon boat from them and puttering around the lake. Wish I had more space to gush about the space and their incredible hospitality. We would book again in a heartbeat!

Absolutely perfect stay! John was an amazing host—friendly, responsive, and made everything easy from start to finish. The house itself is stunning: beautifully maintained, super comfortable, and had everything we needed. The location is unbeatable—peaceful, scenic, and close to everything. 10/10 – would absolutely stay again!

Absolutely fantastic choice to spend time in this beautiful place!! I like to say about it thats like a portal to inner peace. I loved every second of my time here, and i felt sorry I couldn't stay longer! Dorota and Robert are amazing hosts, everything is prepared with so much detail and care! I love your little cottage, and i hope to come back soon enough 😊♥️

This was our second time staying at this beautiful Muskoka cottage, and it was just as wonderful as we remembered! The place is cozy, clean, and perfectly equipped for a relaxing getaway. The peaceful surroundings, stunning views, and thoughtful touches throughout the cottage made our stay extra special. It truly feels like a home away from home. We're already looking forward to our next visit!
