Vacation rentals with lake access in Barrie

We really enjoyed our stay at Friday Harbour so much so I think we’re gonna be coming back again next year thank you again so much!!!

Stayed here for the long weekend to do a few activities in the area and have to say that the space was amazing. Would 100% recommend anyone coming to barrie to come stay here!

Great location! Alex was a great host, provided all the information beforehand, a very clean and well maintained house. We enjoyed our stay!

Clean , cozy place with all the amenities you'll need. Short walk to a public little beach. Even our Molly enjoyed exploring the fenced in yard and local trails. Cheryl R.

This was hands down the cleanest Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in, spotless from top to bottom. Everything was incredibly neat, well-organized, and thoughtfully labeled with clear instructions, which made our stay seamless and stress-free. Mary truly went above and beyond in every way. She was super responsive when we had questions about local fishing tackle shops, and her attention to detail in the home was amazing. She left us a selection of teas, snacks, travel-sized lotion and hand sanitizer, and other small touches that made the whole place feel like a cozy hotel retreat. The neighborhood was peaceful and within easy walking distance of the lake a perfect location to unwind. Would absolutely recommend this stay to anyone looking for comfort, cleanliness, and a caring host.

Chelsea’s place was absolutely beautiful ! Upon walking in the house, the view of the water is breathtaking and did not get old each morning while sipping our coffees. The home itself was very homey, and a great wide open space for gathering with friends. Chelsea was super helpful when booking, made recommendations and was super responsive during our stay with any questions we had. I would highly recommend a stay here - can’t get much closer to being “on the lake”!

We stayed at Dylan’s place for the weekend with 13 adults and 4 kids. There was enough rooms and beds for all of us with adequate bedding and space. The house was clean and well equipped for our weekend! Before the stay we had lots of questions and Dylan was very responsive and answered everything in a timely manner and with lots of details. He was always following up during the weekend as well. The dock is beautiful and amazing! It was a bit buggy but that’s expected near the waters. We used the kayaks and boat and had a wonderful time!

Tristan’s stay was amazing! From booking to checking out the entire process was seamless, not to mention the amenities in the AIRBNB were amazing - remember to bring your own toiletries but other than that - FANTASTIC stay chef’s kiss! Will definitely check out Tristan’s other listings given his hospitality and professionalism. Thank you again!

This has been hands down the best Airbnb we have ever stayed at. Dawn and Rob have truly thought of everything to make the space feel like home! They were very quick to respond to questions and had great recommendations for the area. The entire place was well stocked with everything you could think of including board games, cookware and much more. We will definitely be back!

We had a really nice time at Marias place. It's calm, cozy and has a great location. We liked the restaurant nearby and the walks at the seaside. Marias recommandations for activties we're also very helpful, espacially guests with dogs are very welcome! The communication with Maria was very good and fast because she told us everthing in advance.

Friday Harbor was a beautiful location with extremely pretty walking trails. The house felt at home with everything available at your service. Our Airbnb Manager Ana was the sweetest person you could meet. She also gave us a welcome hamper! Definitely recommend to visit this place for a peaceful, home away from home kinda stay :)

A fabulous beach front location, within steps of a sandy and shallow waterfront. Tess and Jeff are great hosts and extremely helpful. The accommodation is super cosy and much bigger than expected. It had everything we needed and more! The kitchenette may be small but it is well stocked and we didn’t have any issues with cooking. The BBQ is a gas one and very good. We enjoyed eating outside on the large sized deck. Even though it’s shared with the owners, the privacy screen was ample. The beach was pretty quiet and made for a relaxing stay. We sadly didn’t get to witness any sunsets since it was a little cloudy, but you can see how amazing it would be! Thank you Tess and Jeff for your kind hospitality.

Cathy was an exceptional host! The accommodations were so beautiful, so much love and hard work put in to making it a cozy place to stay. Bed was huge and comfy. Cinnamon buns were delicious. Hot tub was relaxing and private. We want to come back and try one of her other suites.

I really enjoyed staying at Kwan’s Airbnb for a week. It was spotless, new, fresh and super clean. I appreciated the attention to detail and amenities as I am a superhost myself and take pride in my Airbnb. I highly recommend his Airbnb, you won’t be disappointed! Thank you Kwan! 😊

Myra is a lovely host and the space is beautiful. The basement unit is cool, private and well laid out. I greatly appreciated the stocked tea cupboard and the complimentary shower toiletries. The toilet paper and towels were beautifully folded and it felt like a staying in a very private hotel space. Myra was communicative, kind, quick to respond and checked in to make sure that everything was comfortable. Expectations of the space, and the check in/check out instructions were very clear. The unit was incredibly tidy and clean- clearly well loved and cared for by the host. Myra is clearly dedicated to making sure that your stay is as comfortable as possible. Would recommend and stay again. A great spot to land after a long day. Thank you Myra!

Lisa’s place was a great place to stay. I had a wonderful time there! I really appreciated the thoughtful touch of the spice rack such a small detail, but it made a big difference. The beds were very comfy, and the house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect! Close to amenities, the beach, and a playground, which was great for my kids. The neighbours were also very kind and respectful. Thank you for a great experience!

Our family enjoyed a nice, quiet stay at Sarah’s place. The view is beautiful, living space is spacious and comfortable, with good wifi, and fishing at the dock is a great way to enjoy some relaxed time. Sarah is very responsive for questions, which we thoroughly appreciate.

We had a wonderful stay at this cottage! Everything was clean and well-maintained, and the cottage was fully equipped with everything we needed. The resort itself was beautiful and had such a peaceful and charming atmosphere. The amenities were great and very clean. It’s an amazing place for families, especially with kids — lots of space and activities to enjoy. We’ll definitely come back again and would highly recommend it to others!

We had a wonderful stay at Carol's place. the cottage is beautiful, cozy and clean. It had all the amenities we needed. The area is very quiet and peaceful, which was exactly what we were looking for. The walking trails are beautiful. We brought our kayaks and went to a public beach/boat launch which was only a two minute drive away. Couldn't have been happier with everything. We would love to return for another getaway.

What a wonderful place. It has tons of character. I watched the sunrise from my bed. Lots of bird activity on the bay which was so entertaining. It’s such a lovely spot I’m coming back in the fall.

Everything exceeded expectations! A cozy tiny home with beautiful river views and thoughtful details throughout. Kathy was responsive and made the stay seamless. Highly recommend!

My friends and I had a truly fabulous cottage experience here! The washrooms were clean and tidy, which made our stay extra comfortable. We also appreciated the entertainment options available. Even though the weather was a bit cool and the dock slightly tricky to manage, we had an amazing time using the kayaks for the first time! The host provided life jackets, which made our water adventures both safe and memorable. Another highlight was the sauna — such a relaxing and refreshing treat after a day of outdoor activities. It was our first time trying a sauna, and it was easy to use. We loved it! One more thing worth mentioning — one of my friends accidentally left her phone behind. The host and cleaning team acted quickly and efficiently, and the phone was returned the next day! Overall, we would absolutely choose this cottage again. The great location, cleanliness, well-prepared facilities, and the kind and thoughtful host made this a wonderful getaway. Highly recommended!

Thank you, Fran and Chris for an excellent stay! The cottage was beautiful and cozy. Your thoughtful touches made our weekend. We appreciate your responsiveness and hospitality and attention to details. Five stars!!!

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb. The house was very comfortable for our family of 8 as we celebrated my parents’ 50th anniversary. The bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen were very clean, and the space felt welcoming. The location was ideal — close to popular attractions, yet peaceful and relaxing. The owner was a gracious and thoughtful host who genuinely cared about our comfort. We truly appreciated his kindness and responsiveness throughout our stay.
