Beachfront vacation rentals in Lake of Bays

We had a wonderful two-night stay at this cozy cottage! The highlight was definitely the hot tub — perfect for relaxing after a day outdoors. The BBQ setup was great and made evening meals easy and enjoyable. The cottage was clean, well-equipped, and surrounded by beautiful nature views, making it a peaceful escape from the city. We especially loved sitting on the deck and taking in the quiet, scenic surroundings. Would definitely come back for another getaway!

We loved our stay here! The house was spotless and had everything we could’ve needed and more. The dock and watercrafts were our favourite daytime spot, and the dining table was perfect for groups games in the evenings. We didn’t get to use the fire pits but there were two of them! We’ll definitely be back!

Great cozy cottage with a private lake entrance. Miles was a great host. Hot tub & sauna were very enjoyable and overall the place was great.

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.

We had an unforgettable stay at Oliver and Mary Anne’s beautiful cottage! The location is unbeatable—right by a private beach with stunning views that you never get tired of. Waking up to the sound of the water and sipping coffee with that view was pure bliss. There was so much to do! We spent our days kayaking and canoeing on the calm water, swimming off the private beach, and lounging in the sun. In the evenings, we’d gather around the fire pit for s’mores and stories under the stars, and then unwind in the hot tub—absolute perfection. The cottage itself is gorgeous, super clean, and fully equipped with everything we needed. You can tell Oliver and Mary Anne have put a lot of care into making this a true home away from home. Every little detail—from the cozy interiors to the outdoor setup—was just right. This place is a gem, whether you're looking for relaxation or adventure. We’re already talking about when we can come back. Highly recommend it to anyone!

What a sensational weekend get away. This cottage had it ALL! Brilliant decor, a kitchen that I would love to have in my own home! Such a well thought out layout and gathering areas for relaxing, eating and playing games. The decor….amazing. The games room, simply spectacular, and the downstairs tv area, just wonderful. The views were off the charts, beautiful, and we had the most incredible weekend. Erika was very accommodating and flexible with check in etc. The kitchen is well stocked and we had an exceptional weekend. Would rent again.

We stayed at Rebecca’s place for 3 nights with a family of 7 and 2 small dogs. The cottage was so comfy and cozy and we enjoyed the entire weekend. There was a lot to do like kayaking and paddle boarding which was all provided as per the description! We loved the fire pit and the yard was so well kept and clean. They even had dog beds ready for our pups. She had a very well stocked kitchen that came with almost everything we needed. My family loved being both inside and outside the whole weekend. Thank you for sharing this little peaceful cottage with us, with the most amazing views of the lake.

This is Airbnb concept working at its best. Ken’s place was a home away from home. Not just a mere house to generate extra income. Great care was put in for someone to feel good staying there ( night lights meticulously placed around the house for navigating oneself in the dark - just an example) . We found the house in immaculate cleanliness ( thank you Jackie). Ken was always present via messages to address us, suggest activities, provide general logistics of area. The house is a gem, with lots of windows and light, large kitchen with anything you might need, and very comfortable beds with premium mattresses. Thank you Ken, we’d love to be back soon 🙏🏻

We recently had the pleasure of staying at a fantastic condo in Friday Harbour, and we can’t recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a stunning view that took our breath away. The condo itself was a perfect blend of luxury and comfort. It was impeccably clean, stylishly decorated, and equipped with all the amenities one could wish for. One of the highlights of our stay was the private balcony, where we spent many mornings sipping coffee and evenings watching the sunset over the harbor. The location of the condo is unbeatable. Just a short walk to charming local shops, restaurants, and the marina, it offered the perfect mix of relaxation and convenience. Overall, our stay at this condo in Friday Harbour was exceptional. It’s clear that the owners have put a lot of thought and care into creating a perfect retreat. If you’re looking for a memorable getaway, this place should be at the top of your list!

Great stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. Only downside was the hot tub and pool were closed for maintenance, but everything else was perfect. Would definitely come back!

We loved our stay at Tony's place in Victoria Harbour . The place is as described and literally steps away from lake and Trans Canada Trail . Its 10 minutes away from all major amentias and restaurants . The place is well equipped. We have stayed in so many Airbnb's and this is one of the most well organized place we have ever been to.. The place comes with pretty much all the amenities that truly made it home away from home . We would definitely be back here in Summer .

Lovely lovely place. Sitting on the deck watching over the blue waters of the bay - dreamy! Kids had fun at the beach and in the pool. Highly recommend.

Idyllic gem on Georgian bay. Perfect for a small family getaway by the lake. The resort pool is a big plus for the kids. Beautiful surroundings and stunning sunsets. Jefferson is a great host. Very friendly and responsive. He kindly accommodated our request.

My boyfriend and I stayed the weekend, it was a great location, Joe was very responsive and friendly! We had only 1 concern with the bbq that was not clean, but it has been handled with effectively. Overall space was very clean, it was easy to find kitchen supplies, and other items in the house! A great location with stores, restaurants at a walking distance, and other attractions within a 30 minute drive

Lovely little getaway. Beautiful views. Very clean and well appointed. Great communication with Janna and fast responses. Welcome booklet was very helpful and we even ordered pizza for delivery on our arrival (as recommended ).

Very nice cottage in the middle of nature and in front of the lake… ideal for a break from the city ! Megan is reactive and communicating with her was easy.

The cottage is gorgeous! Came equipped with everything we needed for a long weekend! We enjoyed relaxing on the dock and swimming out to the water trampoline. Lots of wood stocked for campfires which was greatly appreciated! Perfect location - 25 min drive to Limberlost Forest to hike and 10min to the delicious Henrietta’s Bakery! Will definitely return!

My husband and I spent a few nights here and it was fantastic. Brad and Erin were friendly and very responsive! The cottage was everything we were looking for. Quant, private, hot tub, on the lake, pet friendly. What more could you ask for? Highly, highly recommend!

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!

We stayed at this cozy cottage for a book club weekend. The cottage was so tastefully decorated with an east coast flair that was very charming. The hot tub was spacious, and the cottage itself was immaculately clean and organized. Had everything that our group needed. Jennifer is an excellent host, friendly detail, oriented, and gets back to you very quickly would highly recommend this location.

Really great private place. Cozy cottage for a small group of people. For the days we spent there it was all rainy but Mike and Elaine allowed us to checkout late and to use their canoe for the last day when the sun was out. Great host very responsive and understanding. I will for book their in the near future for another trip ;)

We absolutely loved our stay at Maya & Greg’s cottage. We spent the May long weekend here and loved the peaceful environment and beautiful surroundings. The cottage was exactly as pictured, there was lots to do, and the hosts were very friendly. Highly recommend!

We could spend a family vacation with 6 adults and 3 little children. It has been an ideal place for this. A nice and spacious house and beautiful surroundings! Excellent and very friendly contact to the hosts. Nearby hiking trail and only a short drive to Parry Sound. Over all an excellent stay!

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!
