Vacation rentals with a kayak in Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area

What a wonderful place. Very cozy, clean beautiful little house. Extremely responsive host. Beautiful lake view. Will definitely be back

Our stay at Addie's cottage was delightful. The place was clean, well-furnished, and equipped with all the necessary utensils. Both hot and cold water pressure was excellent, creating a cozy and warm atmosphere. The bedrooms were tidy and comfortable. Addie proved to be very responsive and helpful, enhancing our experience. However, we encountered a few minor issues: 1) We discovered and eliminated several small cockroaches in the kitchen, particularly around the garbage cabinet. 2) The dining chairs were deteriorating, leaving lots of tiny pieces on our clothing when we used them. 3) The non-functional hot tub was a surprise upon arrival. Although mentioned in the listing, we missed it and so suggest making it more prominent, perhaps in the title, as the photos and description led us to expect a working hot tub. This could also be Airbnb's fault, since I specifically selected the "hot tub" option during my search, clearly indicating a preference for a property with a working hot tub.

Such a great place to stay after skiing at Blue Mountain! Definitely recommend.

What a beautiful place ! I totally recommend this house ! Our stay was really amazing ! The view and the cleanliness was incredible. The only thing is that it needs an iron , other than that all is perfect

Fantastic stay in the off season! We travelled with family for spring break and had a peaceful visit to this gorgeous home. The pictures do not do this place justice. We loved the panoramic views, beautiful decor and sounds of the water. Fantastic place.

Awesome place! The pictures don’t do it justice, the view is beautiful. Elaine and Peter were great hosts. This place was fully stocked, towels, linens, ziplock bags, paper towel, utensils, cooking stuff, you name it. Lots to do too, the beach is right there and they had paddle boards and kayaks to use. We travelled with two young kids and Elaine went above and beyond setting up the pack and play and high chair for us before we arrived. 10/10 would recommend!

Responsive host, peaceful environment. Lots of wildlife and beautiful cottage!

The place was very clean and the location it’s amazing, you are close to a lot of trails and to Blue Mountain Village. Jennifer and Keith were very responsive and friendly. It was a great experience!

Second time at Fred's this Summer and yet again, it was amazing! Unfortunately, the weather wasn't on our side but that didn't stop us from having a great time. Fred had so many things for us to do indoors, we loved all the options. Can't wait for our next getaway at Fred's.

Our stay was excellent! The location of the cottage was great, which made our day trips very convenient! Would definitely recommend a stay here to enjoy the lovely lake and all the natural beauty that goes with it! Laurel 😊

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Rebecca's beautiful lakeside retreat! She is very understanding and felxible and responsive. Everything was clean at the place and thoughtfully prepared The canoes provided were perfect for peaceful paddles around the lake, and the cozy fireplace made evening so relaxing and special. If you're looking for a perfect escape surrounded by nature and tranquility, this is the place. I can't wait come back!

We had an amazing time. 4 adults and 4 kids and two dogs. Check in was super easy. Host checked in upon arrival to make sure we had everything we needed. Cottage was private and clean. Cottage was completely equipped with everything you need. Location is great. The water is clear and shallow for quite a while so great for kids. Lots to do in the area. We will be back next year! :)

Great place, great hosts.

Beautiful cottage in lovely surroundings. We arrived at night and the house was lit up with fairy lights! Great kitchen! View of lake from living room area.

**Hidden Gem Homestay Experience Report** This place is an absolute sanctuary for city dwellers! Walking through the woods, a vast painting-like meadow unfolds before your eyes. The lakeside dock offers kayaking adventures—gliding through the morning mist felt like drifting in a fairy tale. Evenings at the terrace bar were pure bliss: grilling sizzling steaks while watching the sunset dip the river in molten gold, the smoky aroma from the grill teasing our appetites. Nights stole the show with crackling bonfires—munching marshmallows, swapping stories, and sipping beer under starry skies, wrapped in serene tranquility. The cozy rooms sparkled with cleanliness, and even the bunk beds oozed playful charm, perfect for our family. But the real surprise? The host’s hidden gems: a treasure trove of retro games and board games, plus a wall display of glittering champagne, whiskey, and wine glasses that practically begged us to toast the night away. The heartfelt sense of connection

Erin’s place was exactly as described. Very well equipped with everything anyone could possibly need. We loved the clean white linens on all the beds. The sunsets were so beautiful. We sat every evening on the deck and watched the sun go down. We would recommend this cottage to anyone. Thank you Erin and Alex.

We had a lovely stay at Cristian’s this September (2 couples + 2 babies). We spent most of our time enjoying the ample seating on the deck and dock, but there was plenty to do indoors as well. Gorgeous and serene views of the river. We went for a pedal boat and kayak ride everyday. Everything at Cristian’s was exactly as pictured and him and Vera were super responsive to all our questions. Would happily stay here again!

"Our stay at Jesse’s place was exceptional from start to finish. Jesse was incredibly responsive and attentive, answering all of our questions almost immediately and going above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The house itself was exactly as described—beautifully designed with multiple relaxing areas to enjoy the breathtaking views. One of the highlights was sitting outside by the fireplace, overlooking the lake, which made for a truly magical experience. The entire house was impeccably clean and well-maintained. Jesse's hospitality and helpfulness made our visit truly unforgettable. We highly recommend staying here!"

Khristel is a fantastic and responsive host. The property is beautiful. Our family had a great stay.

We stayed at Teresa’s place for 2 nights during the Christmas holidays with our family of 16. Check-in was very easy and smooth. The cottage itself is beautiful, peaceful and private. The views were spectacular. As for the host, she was prompt in her responses and resolved all of our issues with ease. She was understanding and very nice. The co-host, Frank, was also very helpful.

Amber’s cabin was absolutely stunning, charming, majestic, and straight out of a magazine. Words cannot describe how beautiful this place truly is. The cabin has a rustic/vintage but also modern feel and vibe to it which is the perfect balance. The kitchen was super cute and had a retro feel to it with the cabinets, and was also fully equipped with gorgeous new stainless steel appliances all throughout, and every single kitchen amenity you can think of from pots and pans, to coffee/tea pods and wine bottle openers and much more! The spacious living room area was the perfect spot to cozy up and watch a movie on the big screen, while also having a view of the lake from the window right next to the couches. The cabin is surrounded by a lake and several trees, which adds to the peaceful serenity around it. Amber was also extremely responsive and helpful during our stay, we enjoyed every minute of being at this cabin and would seriously consider living there if we could (lol). 10/10!

Christine’s place was absolutely beautiful and literally perfect for a cottage long weekend. the pictures don’t even do it justice. the dock out looked such a beautiful lake, great for water activities!! the beds worked out perfectly for 5 people, thought u could definitely fit 7, maybe 8. the kitchen was equipped with quite enough, and the bathroom had sanitary products which was so convenient. there’s also a soft tub which was super warm and so relaxing, and an entire bar room with darts overlooking the water! we had so so so much fun here and it was seriously such a beautiful cottage, don’t let the lack of reviews fool you!! absolutely loved this so much:)

Our family of 4 spent the Easter weekend at Kelly's Cabin for a relaxing getaway and WOW.. It was the best Cabin we have ever stayed at. It was pristine and felt just like home. there was nothing that we missed at her place. In fact we regretted not booking it for a longer stay! The kids just did not want to leave. The washroom was clean and smelled fresh. The beds were super comfy and clean. the kitchen is perfectly placed in the Cabin and had all the amenities that one could think of. Even for the BBQ, which we enjoyed next to the fire pit. Kelly herself is a spectacular host who is very responsive and kind. We will definitely be booking this place again and might just make it our place for an annual getaway!

Really enjoyed it definitely coming back
