The Boathouse on Sunset Bay Muskoka

KaraRating, 5 stars10 months ago
Lyn and Peter were amazing hosts for our family of 4 (two adults plus two kids, ages 9&6.) Lyn greeted us at check-in, but gave us privacy after that, and was super quick to respond to texts on the rare occasion we had a question. The boathouse was as described with even more amenities than listed and more spacious and beautiful than the pictures could do justice. The place is immaculate with careful thought and detail into every little decoration and little touches (e.g. a basket in the bedroom with bug spray, package toothbrush, etc. for any forgotten items.) We felt completely at home in the boathouse and enjoyed the beautiful views from the upstairs deck and dock, where we spent the majority of our time. We all loved taking out the SUPs that were there for our use and it was a quick drive into town to visit Don’s Bakery (IYKYK), Splash Island, and the ski show on Tuesday night. Highly recommend the boathouse for your next Muskoka stay! Lyn’s hospitality is 10/10.

Lake Life Houseboat Rental, Lake of the Woods

Keely Rating, 5 stars35 months ago
Brock and his crew are all amazing. Brock was easy to communicate with, was friendly and very accommodating. The views that we experienced were breathtaking, and the weather was gorgeous. Our kids loved going down the slide off the houseboat into the lake so much. An excellent vacation for families with small kids!

Aurora Lodge Houseboat 4 - 8 people

SadieRating, 5 stars2 months ago
This is a one-of-a-kind accommodation. It is private, cozy, and the best of all—you can view the Aurora from the bedroom window. The location is amazing and allows you to see what it is really like living in the Canadian north. From driving on an ice road to get to the house to being surrounded by nature, this place has it all. Stephen was highly accommodating and welcoming, is knowledgeable about the area, and is quite the entertainer during down times. His VIP service gives you the option to sit back and relax while he prepares meals and takes you on adventures. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Never Land

DeannaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
What a delight! By strange happenstance, there were no guests in the other three cottages so we really had the whole cottage area all to ourselves. The beauty of Charlottetown was both at our door and within walking distance. Would happily stay here again.

TravisRating, 5 stars10 months ago
If only the fishing had been a little better we could have spent more time at the cabin. Overall it was an awesome place to spend time, cook, talk and hangout with my Dad, Brother and Son for a week. Hope to do it again next year!

Aurora Lodge Houseboat YK 1-2 people

TheresaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Stephan's aurora lodge is a unique and amazing place. It's away from town on a lake in the forest, completely private, and utterly silent at night. And yes, we did in fact see the aurora starting from the bedroom window! Stephan is a fabulous host. We were very concerned about the cold for our aurora viewing in March, but he answered a million questions before the trip, and also hooked us up with a great winter clothing rental for our outside viewing. He even went above and beyond to pick up and drop off our gear when there was a mixup with the rental place delivery, even though we didn't opt for the VIP package. When we had trouble finding the place (we're unused to snow, we couldn't tell we were looking right at the road, duh), he came into town to rescue us and lead us out there. He's also a font of local knowledge and history, and a really fun guy to talk to. The best decision we ever made was ditching the package tours and waiting for the aurora in Stephan's cozy living room.

Enjoy Paradise in an Exquisite Floating Home!

RobRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Had a wonderful stay at Alan's floating home. It was very comfortable, clean, and tastefully decorated with all the amenities we needed for our stay. The area is gated and secure for both the home and vehicles. Close to Lonsdale Quay and a quick ferry ride over to downtown Vancouver. It was a quiet and peaceful stay. Seals came to visit regularly in front of the home and played in the marina. It should be noted that the marina itself is not the same as what the pictures suggest. We were expecting views of docks and boats right in front of us, and perhaps the extra activity that comes with that. These are all gone now! The marina is completely open with unobstructed views towards the Vancouver skyline. Very much better in our opinion. Another thing of note is that, being a floating home, there is some rocking from time to time. Sometimes a little, sometimes more than a little, but never for very long. We found this to be quite the novelty and actually soothing. 100% recommend.

ISLAND GETAWAY

NadineRating, 5 stars34 months ago
This place is awesome. Cottage was clean and well equipped with anything you need. Even with some storms on shore we barely got 20 min of rain the whole stay. The sandbars in mitchels bay are unreal to spend the day at. Water was 83 degrees and Crystal clean! Fishing and kayaking are great. Short boat ride to go for dinner in town, or cook at home with the bbq or over the fire. Nick was excellent to communicate with and did everything to ensure we had a great time. We spoke several times over the phone to make the weekend go off without a hitch! We will definitely be back next year.
The cozy living area features light wood finishes and large windows, allowing natural light to filter in. A breakfast nook is positioned near a small table, with comfortable seating along the walls. A steering wheel is visible, indicating the houseboat design, while houseplants add a touch of greenery.

Floating Cabin - Kayak, Paddle, Spa - Bora Boreal

KassianRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We enjoyed ourselves! Truly a unique experience and one we have already shared with many people encouraging them to check it out. Food/dining wasn’t crystal clear to us but there is an IGA 15m away and that was perfect. It may be specific to many Canadian Airbnbs but definitely be prepared to take care of a few things prior to your checkout and allow time for that. We look forward to planning a summer trip here and checking out the lovely lake!

Unique and Modern Experience

VanRating, 5 stars8 months ago
We had such a wonderful time on the floating house! We went in October and were lucky to have the perfect weather weekend. Not only do you get the sunrise view, but you also get the sunset! Nights were cooler but the house had heat and we were warm. We enjoyed watching the boats go by and fishing right at the docks. Sheila and her team was super friendly and easy to communicate with. Would recommend and come again!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay in the float home. The view was beautiful!! We loved sitting out on the deck. We had a great meal at the restaurant across the street and were within walking distance to one of the best coffee shops we have been to in awhile. We would love to stay again! Kerianne was an excellent host - great communication and clear instructions.

Trois-Rivières Yacht Club 1 – Houseboat

AmandaRating, 5 stars11 months ago
We had an enjoyable stay at the houseboat, especially with the two patios that were great to spend time on. It was very clean and easy to check into, although we had a little difficulty finding it at first due to construction in the area. It would have been great to be able to enjoy the beach or swim nearby but that was a drive away and the water was not advised to swim in.

"AT DOCK" HOUSEBOAT VACATION

TanyaRating, 5 stars23 months ago
We would highly recommend staying at Dave’s. The location is exceptional as is Dave’s willingness to ensure we had the best stay possible. He moved the boat so the kids could have the best slide area into the lake and set up the awning on the top deck so we could get some shade. He was so friendly and available for any questions. We will stay again!

Anchored In Floating Cabin - Cardigan PEI

ConnieRating, 5 stars10 months ago
We LOVED our stay in the tent! The view from the porch was amazing, the bed was comfy, and kitchen had all you needed, and the bathroom was very clean. We saw only one person at the marina the entire time so it was very quiet and secluded. Sitting on the porch watching the birds was peaceful. I highly recommend!
