Vacation rentals with lake access in Lake Muskoka

One of the most incredible stays I’ve ever experienced in Ontario. This cottage is even better in person; beautifully decorated, impeccably clean and absolutely stunning and serene surroundings. Retreat 82 has all the amenities you could ask for and more, and our dog loved every minute of our stay too. We can’t wait to come back!

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.

Our stay here was fantastic. The house is big with plenty of rooms for a big group. It was clean and orderly. There is a beautiful dock with a canoe, kayak and life jackets. Our host Fred was very kind and accommodating. I would recommend this to anyone looking a cottage getaway.

Wonderful stay! Our host Dylan was very quick to respond and extremely accommodating. The home fit our large group comfortably. The home was spotless, beds were very comfortable and we appreciated all the little extras (lots of towels, warm blankets, coffees, teas, little treats) Hot tub was very relaxing and clean. Lots to do, we all enjoyed ourselves and we’re already planning our return stay!! 😊

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”!

Beautiful home and location, great for families with young kids who want to get away from city life. There was kid toys, a skip hop and a pack n play with was useful for our baby. The neighborhood was quiet and there was a playground near by. Nicole was quick and easy to reach and made the check in process very easy and provided lots of information about the home. Thank you!

Shiyu was a great host. What an amazing and peaceful cottage. We made some great memories there. Shiyu was very responsive and helpful. The place looks exactly, even better than pictures in real life. Shiyu accommodated us in best way possible. Totally worth getting this place for the weekend and spending time with family. Definitely booking it again soon. I would recommend 100% this property if you want to spend quality time with your loved ones.

We had a wonderful stay! Cottage was clean upon arrival with easy access. There were lots of activities to keep busy both indoor and outdoors. Lots of space to enjoy within the cottage as well. We especially enjoyed the hot tub during a cooler day!

The place is very clean, cozy and beds are comfortable. Great location. We enjoyed our stay.

Tess is lovely and their place is in the best possible location by the beach. Literally steps away. The weather was a little cold and rainy for late May but it made for a cozy retreat with lovely beach walks. You can walk beautiful long strips of uninterrupted beach. Library was nearby if you needed books for “staying in” days and across the street from it was an amazing, authentic Italian sandwich and gelato place the hosts suggested (Che Roba! Soooo good) Overall my husband and I loved it and would definitely go back!

Carley's home was beautiful and very clean. Fully stocked kitchen with everything and anything you might need. the hot tub was very clean and private. beautiful home.

Words can hardly capture the magic of Cathy’s BnB in Wasaga. From the moment we pulled into the driveway, we knew we were about to experience something special. This isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a destination in itself, a beautifully curated space that feels like stepping into the pages of an artist’s journal. The first thing that struck us was the atmosphere — peaceful, welcoming, and infused with personality. Every inch of the property is meticulously thought out and bursting with creativity. You can feel Cathy’s heart in every detail. It’s clear that this isn’t just a business for her — it’s a lifelong passion project rooted in artistry and hospitality. Cathy’s background in the arts and event world shines through in the most delightful ways. If you’re looking for something more than just a rental, if you want to stay somewhere that feeds your soul as much as it rests your body, Cathy’s BnB is it. Thank you so much for our stay!

Beyond grateful for Lesley & Ian. Absolutely loved this piece of Paradise. You were both so very friendly & helpful. The place was Peaceful & had such a beautiful view from any room. We truly look forward to staying here again in the near future. Thank you once again for everything

Derek and Doreen were extremely friendly, responsive, and hospitable, everything in the suite and in the backyard was as shown, if not better. They even gave us a gift as we had mentioned our wedding day was the day prior, couldn’t recommend them and this place enough, we would book again in a heart beat, thanks for everything Derek and Doreen!

Had a great stay place was beautiful. Great communication with host would def recommend. Both me and my wife can’t wait to come back again in the future.

Mary Anne and Garry were absolutely wonderful hosts. They are truly wonderful people in general- friendly, warm and welcoming. Their AirBnB exceeded expectations! It was pristinely clean and also had little details and amenities that added to the comfort of our stay (like Kleenex boxes in every room, ice was ready-made in the freezer, coffee and tea, etc). It really did have the comforts of home, which is rare these days! The Breakfasts they made were lovely and delicious. Mary Anne and Garry put so much thought into everything and that made a big difference to our stay. We look forward to returning to stay again! Thank you for making us feel at home.

The Leonard was just what we were looking for. As we were there midweek the lake was very quiet which was wonderful. Just us, the chipmunks and a loon. The lake was still too cold for swimming but enjoyed coffee on the dock and drinks in the boathouse. Very relaxing.

This was probably the best Airbnb we have stayed at to date. Cannot say enough good things about the place! Modern, beautifully decorated, incredibly clean, attention to all the little details, quiet and peaceful, and the dock… that was our favorite part. We had 4 relaxing days on our baby moon here and are already talking about returning. Communication was so quick (within minutes), the hosts were accommodating and a pleasure to communicate with. Thank you for making our baby moon so memorable! We will be back!

We enjoyed staying at the cottage and kayaking on the lake!

We loved this place. From start to finish it was fantastic. Great location. Open and spacious. Everything we needed was provided. The host was very responsive and gave good clear instructions. We had a fantastic time to wind down.

This was our second visit to James & Marisol's cottage and we loved our stay just as much this time around. The location, the scenery and being on the lake... absolutely breathtaking. If you ever want a nice getaway, look no further because this is a hidden gem. The interior is gorgeous with a nice rustic vibe & ideal for relaxation. Sitting on the beautiful Brandy Lake, it was perfect for us to do some canoeing & kayaking. Most of all, hanging around by the dock in the sun was our favorite part. We highly recommend this brilliantly hosted cottage to everyone looking to have a wonderful time in beautiful Muskoka!

Wonderful place to stay! very clean and exactly as depicted in description and photos! Tip: if you come in the spring, bring bug repellent!

Chris and Katie were very prompt in responding to an issue during check-in, which shows they are highly reliable hosts. The Bluestone provided a stay was very cozy and peaceful. It had everything my fiancé and I were looking for in a getaway from the busy city life. Would love to return again someday.

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!
