Cottage vacation rentals in Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area

I could not recommend this cottage more, and I will definitely be back. It was very easy to locate and there is plenty of parking on the driveway. Inside the cottage, we found an extremely well stocked kitchen, the beds were very comfortable, and everything was very clean. Outside of the cottage, we spent most of the time on the beautiful, new dock overlooking Sparrow Lake. There were plenty of water sport toys available for us to use, the water was shallow and perfect for swimming, and we enjoyed seeing all of the float planes coming and going to the lake. In the evening, we spent time on the upper back deck overlooking the lake, where there was the bbq and hot tub. We felt right at home and cozy; I just wish I could have stayed longer! I brought along my dog who was very pleased to find cookies and a toy provided by the host. Thank you so much for hosting us and we plan to return next year! :)

Had a great family getaway for a few nights. Peaceful surroundings, easy to find, and close to amenities if needed. Lovely cabin!

Great cozy cottage with a private lake entrance. Miles was a great host. Hot tub & sauna were very enjoyable and overall the place was great.

Our stay here for our girls weekend was absolutely fantastic. The airbnb itself was cozy and clean, and had everything we needed. But the best thing about this place was the outdoor space! We enjoyed having a fire on both nights we were there and we loved eating our meals on the back deck, going in the hot tub, and playing cornhole in the backyard! The hosts were also very friendly and responsive. Would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend to anyone!

Very peaceful and beautiful place to stay. The house is a great size for a family looking to relax and unwind.

The home was super clean and had all the amenities we needed, and more! Location was fantastic and the host was super responsive and proactive in her communication! We would love to come back soon!!

Lovely cottage stay. Very peaceful. Had everything we needed.

My friends and I stayed here for a winter weekend away and it was just what we needed/wanted in a little cottage. Great location for those coming from the GTA and nice and close for those in Simcoe. Once we got there we felt right at home! The hosts had cleared the walking paths and back deck of any recent snow fall which made it nice and easy to get inside and enjoy the grounds. They went above and beyond by having the wood burning stove going for us when we checked in which made CARL that much more cozy and welcoming. Communication and instructions were very clear and detailed from start to finish which made the whole rental process easy and enjoyable. My friends and I look forward to coming back to CARL in the future!

We had a great weekend spent at the cottage! Beautiful location on the lake that allows you to getaway from the crowds while still being close to Niagara Falls. The hosts were very responsive and the home was comfy and had everything needed for a weekend away. Definitely recommend staying here if in the area.

Max’s place was definitely worth the stay! The home itself was clear and super cute. The sauna and fire pit were a plus and the location was really close to the beach and to a couple local restaurants. Max was super responsive and helpful! The instructions were really clear and check in was easy.

We loved our little stay here. It's great for a relaxing long weekend. Lots of great places to eat and drink within driving distance. The views were amazing! Gorgeous water and was fun to see Toronto in the distance. We definitely underestimated the presence of the bugs. Krista does warn that they come out in the summer, but they were everywhere by the water. Definitely hampered our time spent outside but if you can ignore the bugs you'll be fine. Krista was a wonderful communicator and the place was spotless.

It was a separate accommodation from the main house, and simple - the mini arcade was a fun extra.

Had a great time at this cottage. Fantastic view of the water, quiet surroundings and friendly neighbourhood. Cottage was clean and well equipped and host was helpful and responsive. I hope to return in the future!

Alam is an awesome host, very quick to respond. Our family of 10 had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb. The views are amazing from the living room. The property is exactly as described. Very clean home with comfortable beds, fans in every bedroom (we love our fans) and a kitchen that has everything you need. The boat house is adorable and the sunsets are amazing! Close to QEW highway, Costco and many other stores. Alam is a awesome host, quick to respond. Highly recommend.

Our time at Lazy Bear Lakehouse on Buckhorn Lake was truly unforgettable. Tucked away in a serene and scenic spot, the cottage offered the perfect mix of comfort, beauty, and tranquility. The cottage was spotless, well-organized, and beautifully maintained. Everything we needed was thoughtfully provided, allowing us to settle in and enjoy from the moment we arrived. The view overlooking the lake was absolutely stunning—constantly shifting throughout the day with the changing light. The sunset was especially breathtaking, painting the sky and water in the most vibrant and calming hues. Although the hosts, Michelle and Ryan, were not on-site, they were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Their thoughtful touches and clear communication made everything seamless and stress-free. Buckhorn Lake is one of the most peaceful places we’ve ever visited. Whether it was morning coffee on the deck or quiet afternoons enjoying the stillness of the water. We love it!

This cottage was the perfect location for our group getaway! It had so much character (we couldn't get over how cool all the doors were), a beautiful property, and a very peaceful atmosphere! We immediately felt so relaxed walking up and enjoyed lots of time outside on the back patio, outdoor bar, and fireplace right on the water! Bonnie was so incredibly helpful and accommodating, and we'd recommend this stay for anyone looking for a nice quiet getaway. We just wished we stayed longer! Thanks for everything 😊

The cottage is an absolutely paradise! Fere and her wonderful family were consummate hosts - very accommodating and communicative, with great local recommendations. The cabin itself is idyllic and the perfect place for a weekend getaway; we couldn’t believe it was just an hour from the city — we really felt like we got the chance to unplug. The property is beautiful and well-maintained, with great walking trails and gardens! The cottage is comfortable and spacious, with all the necessities for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Thank you so much Fere & Noah!

We absolutely loved our stay at Amy’s home. We felt so blessed to have found this amazing gem! It was pristine and beautifully decorated - we loved everything about the home and our stay. Amy was a fabulous host and communicated so well with us. I hope I get an opportunity to stay in this lovely home again. I would definitely rent it for more than just a few days.

Amazing home with so much to offer for outdoor activities! Even a pool table inside that was great for a rain day and pizza oven is covered by a pavilion which was great too we made pizzas every day! Hot tub is a great option too but the only negative part of the whole experience was that the hot tub was quite dirty. We messaged the host who was very responsive and had someone come out to clean it but it needs a little more maintenance to be cleaned properly. Other than that 10/10 stay would definitely go back!

Cannot recommend this cottage enough! Had a great time with my family, the apartment was fantastic, and the view was better than I could’ve imagined. 10/10 would recommend!

This place was even more beautiful than the pictures. Three levels of seating to enjoy the lake views. The beds were so comfortable unlike many places. The restaurant Garden Houzz just down the street is a close walk and a hidden gem! We had a rainy cold stay but we enjoyed an amazing time because of the views and amenities.

Amazing place! Very clean and it was nice to have the A/C. Beautiful view and my kids enjoyed kayaking and fishing. It was a short drive to port Dover beach we went swimming and got ice cream on the boardwalk. This was the best cottage experience.

Very nice and private place with great amenities. Cheryl was very responsive and flexible with check in etc.

Nikki’s family cottage is truly a gem outside of the city. I stayed in her property for a quick 3 day solo R&R with my dog. This was the perfect property for my dog to play around and let out his zoomies. Also, there were so many spots in the property to lounge around with my glass of wine in hand. The river was perfectly shallow for me to walk on the rocks, with my water shoes, ofcourse. The cottage was clean and cozy, the kitchen is stocked with all your needs and they’ve got plenty of throwback DVD movies to choose from. Nikki’s house manual and rules were very clear and easy to follow. She was also quick to reply back when needed, leaving me not to worry. I’ll definitely be back! Thanks Nikki + Family!
