Vacation rentals with a kayak in Nipissing District

Paula made our stay amazing again! The fire was going and the place was toasty warm. We were lucky enough to be there while the goats were having their babies and Paula let all 5 kids stay out with her for hours. We all had an amazing peaceful weekend. Highly recommend!

Beautiful cottage by the lake, and the house itself is very well maintained and modern. The area near the lake is well designed and peaceful. Mike was very responsive and a great host as well!

Granite Lake Chalet was a beautiful spot for our family vacation. Host Pat was friendly and responsive, and her husband even helped us catch the NBA finals on TV. The kitchen was well-stocked for cooking for our party of 7. Bathrooms were clean with ample towels and toiletries. The upstairs primary suite was roomy, with a large closet our 9-year-old used as a sleeping nook. The queen bedroom downstairs bedroom was tight due to bulky furniture; the 2nd bedroom with the bunk and double was much smaller than expected and would be much better suited for just kids. The screened-in patio was a cozy highlight, with lights, blankets, and candles for bug-free lounging. We also loved “Em’s Hideaway,” a quiet reading nook. Sturdy steps led to a magical, well-lit dock—best we’ve seen in Ontario. Great for fishing and relaxing. We launched our boat nearby, though the steep dirt ramp may require 4WD if it’s muddy. Caught mostly smallmouth bass and a couple pike. A great stay overall!

What a perfect 3-day getaway! My friends and I loved our time at this cottage by the lake. It was so relaxing and exactly what we needed. The cottage was great, and the lake access was a huge bonus. We had an amazing time and would definitely return.

We stayed for a few days, such beautiful place and great host. Thank you we will be back

Beautiful cottage! It was super private and so cozy! The host did an incredible job of staging the place and making it feel homey with lots of fuzzy blankets. The fireplace was awesome! The best vibe for a winter cottage getaway. Place was super clean, and the attention to detail was incredible. Fully stocked kitchen drawers with everything you could possibly need. Washroom was super clean and overall house was great. I would definitely go back! Had the best weekend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lorie's cottage! The cottage was incredibly clean and well-stocked with everything we needed and more. Despite the first two days being cold and rainy, we had a fantastic time indoors, spending quality time with our kids playing board games and doing puzzles. Once the weather improved, we took full advantage of the lake. The water was warm and perfect for swimming, and we loved having access to kayaks, a pedal boat, and paddle boards. It's the ideal place for a peaceful escape, and we would highly recommend Lorie's cottage to anyone looking for a quiet retreat.

Truly amazing! Such a memorable stay — I’d love to come back someday!

We just returned from our stay and had a wonderful time. Amanda was very quick to respond to any questions and they’ve clearly put a lot of thought into their cottage. We had some rainy and cold days but loved the extensive movie collection and extra blankets. We loved the sunrise views from our room and slept well. The lake is beautiful (shallow at the dock) and we enjoyed paddleboarding around the lake and relaxing on the dock. We were pleasantly surprised to find such a large assortment of water toys, life jackets, and floaties. We were really happy with the kitchen supplies and found everything we needed to cook our meals throughout the week. Thanks for a wonderful week!

We had a perfect stay at Michelle’s cozy cottage! We enjoyed nightly family dinners and morning coffees overlooking the beautiful views of lake Nipissing. Her place was well stocked and then some! (nice BBQ, air fryer, and espresso machine, cards and games, towels etc.) Michelle was a great host and despite a family emergency was still quick to respond and was available for any questions we had throughout our stay. We would definitely return again!

we had a wonderful and peaceful stay at this lakeside property. The surroundings were incredibly serene, offering the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. All the amenities were exactly as described, and the place was sparkling clean. Despite the long drive to get there, it was well worth it—the scenic beauty made the journey enjoyable. We especially loved spending time around the firepit, using the BBQ, and soaking in the beautiful views. It was a perfect setting for quality family time, and the host was very responsive and helpful throughout. Highly recommend!

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 had a great, cozy weekend at the cottage. The lake view is very calming and a great feature of the property! Thanks to the fireplace and the games available in the house, we had a fun time even when the weather wasn't ideal. Vanessa was a lovely host and was very responsive to all our questions and needs.

Such a peaceful location. We spent the evening on the dock watching the sky and listening to the Barred Owl, Loons, Spring Peepers, and American toad sing. It was magical. The place was immaculate and the ammenties were awesome! Took the kayaks out for a peaceful paddle and saw some beavers! Comfortable beds make for a serene sleep. If you are looking for a magical location for a family retreat, you have found the right one!

Fantastic place to stay. Don’t worry about the cold nights in the winter as the wood stove will make the cottage toasty warm with lots of hard wood in the shed. Large parking area for trucks and trailers. Place is newly renovated inside and out. Quite location in the winter. Will be going back for sure !

We had a good stay at Marcin's place, couldn't take advantage of all that was available (Spa, Sauna, Kayaks, Firepit etc) but we where there to Ride the area and have a good spot to relax after a day of Motorcycling. All my buddies where satisfied. Only thing was the garbage disposal procedure that we couldn't do since we where on Motorcycles, but after connecting with Marcin we where able to let it cleanly outside for the cleaning crew. Would go back if ever in the region again.

The kids and I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful lakefront cottage. Peaceful and quiet with beautiful views of the lake we would definitely recommend and we will likely go again!

Had a lovely stay here! The listing matches the description and was even more beautiful in person. The host even left us some extra kayaks to use. Will definitely come back here!

Recently, my family and I had the privilege of staying in a beautiful house near Joly, ON. The location, the scenery, and the tranquillity were truly exceptional. The hot tub and sauna added a luxurious touch, making evenings especially relaxing. The cabin was well-maintained, clean, and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Mariana, the host, was very responsive and accommodating towards our questions and requests. She would not have hesitated to help us with the stay. I highly recommend the Forest Lake Cabin to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature.

The Happy Place was a beautiful, quaint cabin with all the essentials for a peaceful nature getaway. Katie and Dave were thoughtful and proactive in providing check-in information and recommendations for things to do in the area. The cabin had tons of charming details, was extremely well kept and offered a lot of privacy. Weather and prior engagements kept us from enjoying the outdoor amenities (sauna, fire pit, kayaks) but we did enjoy throwing on a movie from their great collection. We would certainly come again to this picturesque cabin.

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!

I can't thank Tiffany and Pat enough for being amazing hosts and helping me through a difficult time. I stayed there on two separate occasions. The location of the house is right on the lake and sitting and watching the sun rise was beautiful. Narrows Convience Store is down the street and so is Mikisew Provinvial Park. The house has all the amenities (more than any other Airbnb I have stayed at). I would rats it more than 5 stars if I could. Thanks again so much!

This was my second time visiting Andrew’s place in the fall. It is absolutely gorgeous this time of year. The cottage itself is clean & cozy. All necessary amenities are included. Will be back again!

We had the most incredible stay at this delightful cottage! The hosts were wonderful to communicate with and went above and beyond by leaving us fresh eggs and homemade sourdough—such a thoughtful touch. The kitchen was fully stocked with every tool you could possibly need, making cooking a breeze. The cottage is located on a peaceful island, just a quick 5-minute boat ride away. Upon arrival, we had help unloading the boat, which made settling in so easy. The highlight for us was Sunset Point Rock, where we enjoyed breathtaking sunsets. Swimming was such a joy. The whole experience felt like a dream getaway—cozy, clean, and truly a home away from home. For fellow nature lovers, we highly recommend downloading the Merlin App to identify the many beautiful birds on the island. The fishing was great. We found the Texas Rig worked best. We absolutely loved every moment and can’t recommend this place enough. Will definitely return!
