Vacation rentals with lake access in St. John's

Josie's Place far exceeded our expectations! Great hosts, excellent location, clean, quiet - it had everything! We will definitely recommend it to anyone planning to stay in St. John's. The host was helpful and responsive, and we were able to walk to the grocery store, Quidi Vidi Lake, even downtown! The house was very welcoming and had all the amenities as described. This was great value for the cost - the hosts went above and beyond to make it a cozy and comfortable space.

Wonderful historic home in a beautiful location. Spacious and comfortable with all the amenities. Plenty of linens and towels and the kitchen had everything we needed. Every bedroom had its own bedroom, which was great too. I would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful home and beautiful neighbourhood. Randy met us upon check in and went through everything that we needed to know. Would definitely recommend!

We had an incredible stay! The house was absolutely beautiful and had everything we needed and more. We were in town for a hockey tournament and the home easily accommodated four families, with tons of space and plenty of activities to keep the kids entertained. The indoor pool and hot tub were definite highlights and kept the kids (and adults!) happy for hours. The house was spotless when we arrived, and the host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome—leaving a special treat for each of the kids and even stocking the fridge with breakfast foods for us to enjoy. Communication was outstanding; the host was super responsive to any questions we had and was extremely accommodating with our checkout time. We are already looking forward to staying here again in the future. Highly recommend!

Darlene went above and beyond as a host. she uses the space for weddings as well and we had a small wedding there. the scenery at this location is breathtaking and the house was a great size to host approx 30 people or less. Darlene gave us use of chairs, chair covers, an arbor with floral attachments, and other decor for no extra charge and was so helpful in letting us know the options and taking things out for us in advance. she was very responsive and answered all my questions. check in was flexible. the house itself as an accommodation was also really great. I would love to live in such a house. beautifully decorated and very well stocked. can't say enough about how great our weekend wedding was at this location. 10/10 do recommend.

Thanks so much . Had a great weekend . All was as expected . Would def stay there again .

Beautiful place to stay. Very private, lots of large windows so gets amazing sunlight. The pond view is amazing.

This is such a beautiful property! We had a great time, and the space is perfect for a family or group of friends. Peter was very responsive and accommodating. The hot tub is amazing and the property is right on the lake. There is lots to do, and lots of good spaces in the house to lounge/hang in. We would definitely go back again.

We absolutely loved our stay!!! We didn’t want to leave. Beautiful surroundings, super clean, private space. We loved the hot tub and used it every night. What a beautiful place to relax and spent quality time with our family! We will definitely be using this spot as our family get away every summer!

Very cozy cabin with great view. We had a perfect weekend!

We loved our time at Brenda's Airbnb! It was nice to Holiday like a local for a few days. The lake was great and they have nice chairs to sit in on the dock and relax. We also took the kayaks out for a morning. The boat house is roomy and we had everything we needed. Having a pool table was fun. We couldn't have ask for kinder hosts. They checked in to see we were comfortable and to see if we needed any local tips and then they left us to enjoy their property. ...And we did😊

Our stay at Anne’s was great! We were a group of 6 people spanning 3 generations, ages 3 to 68, and this place met all our needs. Our kids loved the birds and chipmunks. My husband and I loved the access to the water and kayaks. My parents loved the view and hot tub. We were able to have family dinners and bbqs without any trouble. The surrounding nature was beautiful and was only a short drive to St. John’s or other historic towns (like Harbour Grace). Anne was very communicative and checked in proactively to make sure everything was alright. We are already planning our next stay. This remote cottage was perfect for us who were looking tor time to relax and connect, however the access to internet was handy for quick work check ins and a cosy evening watching a movie by the fire. Recommendations for any first time visitors to Newfoundland renting a vehicle - make sure to get one that is good for unpaved roads. Highly recommend this place.

This little gem was very clean. Its in need of a little TLC on the deck boards but very comfortable. its a lovely spot, well stocked with condiments, dishwasher, washer and dryer and its right on the lake. Lots if birds and water fowl. we found everything we needed and more. Tessa sent us an email the day we arrived should we need anything (we did not) We really enjoyed our stay here and would not hesitate to rebook in the future. thank you Tessa!!

Spent my birthday weekend here with the whole family. This place slept all of us easily, and the location is lovely. (The only noise we heard outside were the birds. And one squirrel.) Super peaceful with a perfect mix of water and trees. The road that takes you there is just gravel. It hadn't yet been graded for the season, so there were quite a few potholes. (Not the owner's fault, just think it's only fair to mention it.) We all made it safely, we just had to really take our time. My favourite room? The kitchen. Absolutely stunning! Well stocked. And I love that there was enough seating for all of us.

Six of stayed at this beautiful property (family of 4 with 2 grandparents). It was the perfect size for our group. We had everything we needed. Check-in instructions and household information was very clear, and communication excellent. We swam at Clarkes Beach family park which the kids loved. We visited Salmon Cove Sands beach for an afternoon (beautiful sandy beach 45 min north, $5 cash for parking). We visited and sampled spirits at the Newfoundland Distillery. And enjoyed the fantastic fire pit both nights. Close (1 hr) to St.Johns so it was an easy side trip for us while we visited family this summer. Hope to return and explore the area further another time!

Immaculate property for a family get together with lots of games, etc. for fun! Welcoming basket (and one for pet) was awesome and inspected - something for everyone of us (6).
