Cottage vacation rentals in Manitouwabing Lake

What a gem! This lovely cottage was everything we wanted. Private, clean and super cozy. The view from the deck steps away from the back porch was absolutely beautiful. Douglas was very friendly! His response time was very quick to any questions and he made sure we had everything we needed. His recommendations for around the area were super helpful too. Definitely recommend!

This was fantastic, calmest water I’ve ever been on, lots of fish, tons of games I will definitely be back.

We had a great time staying at Christina’s place! It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The location was perfect, and Christina was a fantastic host—friendly, responsive, and thoughtful. Would definitely recommend and stay again. Thanks for a great experience!

Beautiful spot with great views, very clean and comfortable

This cottage was perfect for our golf trip. Seguin Valleys golf course was just 25 minutes away and the cottage had a nice back deck and dock to hang out on after our games.

On the way up to this beautiful getaway, my wife and I were laughing at how many reviews say "We'll be back" whenever you're looking to travel somewhere and read the reviews prior to booking... We'd say, "How many people actually go back a second or third time?" ... Of course, our main thoughts after our weekend here was we will be coming back 100%. Incredible location, privacy, beautiful lake view as seen in the pictures. The fireplace inside a nice added touch as our weekend was fairly cold, even for May. For those looking to cook, the BBQ is clean and of excellent quality.

We had the absolute pleasure of staying at Priolo on the Bay – Moody Escape, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Andy is a truly exceptional host. Every detail was thoughtfully curated to create a luxurious yet cozy escape. The cottage itself is immaculate – modern, stylish, and unbelievably comfortable. It strikes the perfect balance between high-end living and rustic charm. Tucked away in the heart of nature, it still offers every convenience imaginable: from fully stocked cutlery and snacks to campfire treats, firewood for both the sauna and outdoor firepit, a gas oven, extra lighters—you name it, it was there.The interiors are spotless and beautifully designed, making the entire space feel like a warm, peaceful retreat. Sitting by the fire, unwinding in the sauna, or just enjoying the serene forest surroundings—it all felt like a dream.This is the kind of place that makes you not want to leave!

Beautiful area and home, quiet location for a peaceful vacation. Local shops and winery were dog friendly. Lots of trails and parks near by if you love hiking and being outdoors. 10/10 would visit again.

We were 4 adults, 1 child and 1 toddler. Sarah's cottage is perfectly located - it faces the lake, which is huge, boats, life jackets, etc. are provided and the host is extremely clear in their communication. There was an unexpected issue which came up and which couldn't be rectified till after our booking ended, but I was made aware of it in advance of my trip and Sarah was very transparent in her communication, which I appreciate a lot. The cottage was just a 10 min drive from the main highway, and 15 min drive from the nearest convenience store, so it wasn't that bad. The lake was pristine with some fish in it too, and on days when it was not windy, the water was quite clear too. To top it all, the bright orange ball during sunset won our hearts. We had a great relaxing time and would recommend this to anyone looking for a perfect getaway, just about 2 hours away from GTA.

Great stay for our friends bachelorette. It has everything we needed and was a prime location in Bala for everything you may need.

Had a wonderful stay at this beautiful Muskoka cabin. Great views of the lake and was really fun to go out on the canoe and kayaks. The cabin was cozy and nice with a great kitchen and awsome living room for hanging out and relaxing. Host was extremely responsive and nice. She provided helpful clear instructions and information. Would love to go back.

Jennifer's place was a perfect gathering point for our birthday family reunion. The accommodation was spotless, bright and warm and even had a little pack and play set up for the baby to have a nap. The grounds were stunning as was the view. Our only regret is that the weather did not cooperate so water activity was limited to a polar dip followed by a relaxing soak in the hot tub. A beautiful retreat that our family thinks should be an annual event.

Gorgeous! Ashley was super helpful and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend.

We stayed at this cottage over the long weekend and had an amazing time. The place was cozy, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The hot tub was a highlight—perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The backyard was spacious and peaceful, ideal for lounging or enjoying a BBQ. The owners were incredibly helpful, respectful, and responsive, which made the whole experience even better. Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to come back!

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!

My friends and I had a wonderful weekend at this cottage. The lakefront property is beautiful, clean, and our favourite part was watching the gorgeous sunsets that could been seen from the terrace as well as from inside. Jesse was easy to reach and made sure that everything ran smoothly and that we were having a good stay.

We had a great time at this lovely waterfront cottage on a small lake that’s easily accessible from Parry Sound. The cottage has been updated but retains its charm. Everything was clean and comfortable. Location is quiet, save for the occasional small airplane overhead from the nearby municipal airport. The sand beach is easy to access and weed free. The canoe, kayaks and SUP provided for use were appreciated. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us!

Everything was exactly as pictured and described. Pavlena was very thorough with very detailed instructions and information about everything you would need to know. Self check in was very easy. House was well stocked with anything you might need besides food itself. Setting was beautiful and extremely private. Highly recommend.

We had a fun and relaxing trip to Parry Sound staying at Cameron’s Cottage. The cottage was clean, tidy and well kept. Check in was very easy, and Cameron was very responsive and helpful. Thank you for everything!

Was a great place to stay! Very secluded and relaxing great place to go see the stars.

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.

We had a lovely stay at James' cottage, the view is stunning, the place is very spacious and the kitchen is fully equipped. My favorite is to enjoy the view on the hammock or the swing in the living room. The location is very convenient, only a short drive to town. We would love to be back for the fall. Thank you for hosting us.

We're reluctant to post about how good this property is, we'd selfishly like to keep it a secret. The property is just beautiful, with everything you could ever need, and Graham was a fantastic host. The area is just breathtaking. We are avid boaters and had an amazing time exploring the 30,000 islands and all the beautiful beaches, hiking, fishing, and sightseeing they have to offer. If you aren't into boating, there are water taxis and plenty to do on the island, fire pits, games, a beautiful sun deck, relaxing hammocks, the list goes on. We would recommend this 100%, and we felt very lucky that Graham and his family shared it with us. We hope to return at least once next summer. Thank you to Graham, Tennille and Jane for a wonderful getaway.

We had a wonderful stay! The cottage is super cozy and cute. Jessica is also very responsive. Waking up to the lake everyday is unbeatable. The cottage is also a short walk/drive to the playground and nearby stores and restaurants. We highly recommend this place and look forward to coming back in the future!
