Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Lake Ontario

One of the most incredible stays I’ve ever experienced in Ontario. This cottage is even better in person; beautifully decorated, impeccably clean and absolutely stunning and serene surroundings. Retreat 82 has all the amenities you could ask for and more, and our dog loved every minute of our stay too. We can’t wait to come back!

Lakeside Bliss! We were so very lucky to have landed this Air BnB for our recent stay in Port Dalhousie. We were visiting for a Rowing Regatta- and the location cannot be beat. Warren's home is truly a home away from home. We walked through the door, and it was welcoming- almost familiar. It is so very well appointed and comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with quality and abundant gear- appliances top notch. The bedrooms and all linens high end. Warren was easy to communicate with and quick in responses- although honestly we lacked for nothing during our stay. I am not sure Warren's home could have been any cleaner- it was immaculate! ( and I am picky -so that is saying a lot). The best part of the stay however - is the backyard and the view. We were so sad to leave! Thank you Warren, we do plan on returning- often.

My recent stay at the lake house was nothing short of magical. Nestled among towering pines, the location offered breathtaking views of the shimmering water, perfect for morning coffee on the deck. The house was charmingly decorated, with cozy furnishings that made it feel like a home away from home. The kitchen was well-equipped, allowing for delightful family meals, and the outdoor fire pit was ideal for evening gatherings under the stars. I particularly enjoyed the tranquility of the surroundings, making it a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. Overall, it was a refreshing retreat, and I can't wait to return!

Tanya and Peter were very responsive and their place is so lovely! So peaceful! They really have thought of everything. Thank you very much! Would recommend to couples looking to have a unique place to stay and just have time together.

No notes!! My husband and I had an incredible stay here. Aleks and Amy were truly amazing hosts who went above and beyond for us. The space is lovely and we really enjoyed the hot tub and sauna. We will definitely be back!

We had a lovely stay at Braden’s place. The home was a perfect gateway for 2 people. Big plus for having plenty of firewood for the guests to use. The home was clean & had all the amenities for a great relaxing stay.

The location is perfect right on the water and there are convenient walking paths to explore the surrounding area. The house has great exterior spaces for enjoying the beautiful views of the river. Billie was very communicative and proactive in sharing recommendations, would highly recommend!

We had a great stay over the Thanksgiving holiday visting family in the area and Stephanie's place was a great retreat. Stephanie was extremely responsive and accomodating adjusting to our travel plans over the holiday week. The apartment was totally updated, super clean and was very spacious even with 3 little kids and my wife and I. We made ample use of the coffee/espresso machine, a big bonus! We'll be staying again for sure!

Wow, what a beautiful home! Hosts were great communicators and were very thoughtful. The space was large, well appointed and very clean. We wished we could have stayed longer to use the beautiful outdoor space. Hope to return one day!

Words can hardly capture the magic of Cathy’s BnB in Wasaga. From the moment we pulled into the driveway, we knew we were about to experience something special. This isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a destination in itself, a beautifully curated space that feels like stepping into the pages of an artist’s journal. The first thing that struck us was the atmosphere — peaceful, welcoming, and infused with personality. Every inch of the property is meticulously thought out and bursting with creativity. You can feel Cathy’s heart in every detail. It’s clear that this isn’t just a business for her — it’s a lifelong passion project rooted in artistry and hospitality. Cathy’s background in the arts and event world shines through in the most delightful ways. If you’re looking for something more than just a rental, if you want to stay somewhere that feeds your soul as much as it rests your body, Cathy’s BnB is it. Thank you so much for our stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Camille House. It was very clean. The area was very quiet. It was perfect location, we were not in the main part of the city, but it was just minutes away from everything we wanted to do. If we come back to Niagara Falls, we will definitely stay there again.

Derek and Doreen were extremely friendly, responsive, and hospitable, everything in the suite and in the backyard was as shown, if not better. They even gave us a gift as we had mentioned our wedding day was the day prior, couldn’t recommend them and this place enough, we would book again in a heart beat, thanks for everything Derek and Doreen!

We had a wonderful stay! The place was immaculately clean and had absolutely everything we could possibly need. From the little touches to the overall setup, it was clear that a lot of care went into making guests feel comfortable. The environment was incredibly quiet, perfect for relaxing and getting a good night’s sleep. The hosts were exceptionally friendly and welcoming—they truly went above and beyond to help us throughout our stay. Their lightning-fast responses made communication effortless and reassuring. Check-in and check-out were a breeze, completely hassle-free. Everything was smooth from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! For new hosts, they’re definitely starting off on the right foot! Keep up the good work and thanks again Aimee!

⸻ We rented an apartment in Toronto and had a wonderful experience! The apartment was great – bright, spacious, and had all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. Everything was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully arranged. A special thanks to the landlord – an incredibly kind, friendly, and responsible person. She was always available, helped with any questions, and created a truly welcoming atmosphere. We highly recommend!

Great host and the place is really peaceful !

We had an amazing stay at William & Helen’s place. The house is a true gem: it is in a very peaceful and convenient area, the view from the backyard is also breathtaking. Helen has made us feel like we are at home the moment we met her. Very thankful from the bottom of our hearts

Laura and Dale's Cottage was such a cozy, sunny, beautiful place nestled in a wooded lot right on the water front. We spent a week there in October and loved the wood fireplace and warmth that the cottage brought. The kitchen was charming with lots of well placed windows. Everything you needed for cooking was available. The board games were nostalgic and fun to play. The bed and bedding was so comfy and perfect for reading in the mornings. The view from the bedroom window was otherworldly especially the full moon coming across the water and the Autumn leaves were spectacularly gorgeous! We cant say enough about this place. We highly recommend it and we hope to return again.

A couple of things that stood out for us was the abundance of towel racks and hooks in the bathroom as well as dimmers on all of the overhead lights (such a relief from glare!). We would stay here again.

It was truly an amazing experience. I will definitely be back when I need to get away from the city. Everything looked just like the pictures and the horses made the whole getaway beyond unique. My new favorite destination! Highly recommend!!

Very nice location. Cottage was extremely well stocked. Honey the dog was very friendly with the kids. Fought lake flies but didnt let them ruin our fun. Craig and Liz were very graceful and accommodating.

I love staying there my boyfriend and I had a wonderful time. The place was perfect. The recommendations of places to go was also great. Rae was very responsive very helpful and I would stay there again.

We had a wonderful time, it was easy going with Elizabeth and john ! We loved our time there and would recommend to anybody who wants peace and quiet ! The sheep are just a beautiful addition to it !! Thank you we will reserve again for sure !

Perfect spot to relax and unwind. Loved being steps away from the lake, hot tub, and sauna. Only an 8 minute drive to Lakefield, and about 20 minutes to the Curve Lake First Nations reserve. Hosts recommended a nice farm-to-table spot that we really enjoyed (The Cheeky Duck). The Nook was just what we needed and I happily recommend it to anyone looking to disconnect and kick back for a little while!

We had a great time staying at the cabin this past weekend. The setting was peaceful and rustic, surrounded by beautiful farmland — a perfect place to unwind. We really enjoyed the fishing and the slower pace.
