Houten huisjes in Lake Simcoe

Such a great experience! Perfect for some peaceful time away from the city noise. It was relaxing, quiet, and ideal for recharging. Truly a calming and restful stay.

We had a very nice weekend in Huntsville at the Aux Box and were very happy with the accommodations

Michael and Margaret are great hosts. We head up to their place every winter now for a little cottage country escape. They are super responsive and helpful. Their place is warm, cozy, and has a great hot tub under the stars (and under the snow if you’re lucky). We’ll be back again!

Wanda’s cozy little cabin was the perfect spot for a relaxing winter getaway! Her place exceeded the photos, as soon as we walked in Wanda already had the wood stove fireplace going so that the place was warm and cozy when we arrived. She was extremely pleasant and responsive when we had questions and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. We loved it so much we didn’t want to leave! Would definetley recommend for anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway.

We chose to cancel our trip to South Carolina due to the current USA administration's policies. We opted instead for an Ontario staycation and Highpoint Hideaway checked all of our boxes. It is so cozy and peaceful. We thoroughly enjoyed the wood stove, the hot tub, the ambience and the natural setting. We went for some lovely walks and made all of our meals in the well stocked kitchen. It was important to us to have our dog, and the cottage was a perfect spot for him. I highly recommend Highpoint Hideaway!

We had the most wonderful 2-night stay at The Nook, a beautifully converted barn that truly exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the peaceful setting and the charming character of the property. The barn has been thoughtfully renovated—retaining its rustic charm while offering all the modern comforts you could want. The interior was cozy, stylish, and spotless, with a comfortable bed, a well-equipped kitchen, and lovely touches throughout that made it feel special. One of our favorite features was the dedicated meditation area, complete with yoga mats and calming décor—it was the perfect space to unwind and reconnect.

We stayed at Norman & Ruth’s place Friday - Sunday. We were welcomed by Norman upon arrival, he gave us a tour and showed us all the in and outs of the cottage. Norman and Ruth were kind enough before arrival to provide us with local events happening the weekend we were staying. The cottage was COZY!!! No wifi- the perfect place to disconnect. Which we did lots as it rained through out our stay, we had plenty to do to keep us busy. (Many board games, lots of movies, fully functional kitchen). On dry time- We took the kayaks out to the mini private beach is perfect for some romance. Yard games, and hot tub to enjoy while the weather was great. Beautiful fire pit to get cozy at. Overall we felt comfortable here, it was clean, (not buggy!!), and we even tried the locals pizza - bedrock cafe, would recommend! Thank you Norman & Ruth for an amazing stay. We will be back!!

We loved this cozy cabin. If you’re looking for something that isn’t too far of a drive but still want an outdoor getaway, this place is perfect. There’s a lot to do, plenty of games and entertainment to keep you busy when you’re not outside exploring. Great place for families or a small group of friends. We’d definitely come back again!

This historic log cabin is a jewel. Very tastefully decorated and well equipped. Plenty of living g space inside for fun gatherings. Dog friendly allowed for 6 of us and 2 dogs to have a fabulous Bruce Trail hiking weekend. The hot tub to soak tired muscles was a major bonus. Jacqueline and Shane were super responsive, patient and helpful.

We had a great stay at Stella’s place! Everything was as described. Comfortable bed. Kitchen had everything we needed. Great location close to Bala and Gravenhurst. Any questions we had were answered promptly. Would stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay! The rustic cabin feel was just what we were looking for. Would definitely recommend and we hope to be back. The host was very helpful and responsive.

From the private location, the acres of cedar trees and secret pathways to the wetlands and the singing frogs, baby goats and their gentle mama’s, the kindness radiating from Humble Ranch is tangible. The owners welcomed me by moving long and deep into presence clipping the goats feet 😅 donkey, horse and the strange and wonderful alpacas were nothing but gracious hosts as well. Loving it all. The cabin was complete and comfy. TV was a bonus! What a wonderful weekend! Gracias amigas 🥳

Yurt was creative way to stay in the woods. We stayed in march, still snowfall but not too cold. Separate sauna is a treat. Read amenities so no surprises of what to expect. Overall, a lovely stay. Hosts are friendly and responsive and helpful. Knowing how to start wood fires is useful skill to get sauna and make use of fire pits, wood is provided by hosts. Would recommend to those who are looking for "glamping" type experience. We enjoyed our stay.

We stayed at the cabin 3 nights. I fell in love with this cabin from the moment I stepped in the door. So cute and beautiful surroundings! We lit the fire every night. And with no TV(which was great) gave us time to read, play games and I brought along my watercolour paints as well. The history or the cabin and reading the guestbooks told a lot of stories. The cabin was an art studio ❤️at one time as well! Ruby our fur baby loved the cabin as well. We will definitely return!

Enjoyed our stay at Glenn Burney Lodge. Owner was very helpful and communicative, proximity to restaurant was great, privacy and seclusion of cabin made us comfortable on a first trip with our dog that he wasn’t going to annoy others if he barked a lot (which he didn’t…yay!). Overall, a very positive experience.

The most perfect little place for a mini get away.

Absolute gem: to the amazing gardens and landscaping, peacefulness, privacy, to the quaint cabin with every detail considered, hotel quality bedding, cleanliness, and charm I cannot recommend this beautiful place enough. Extraordinary.

My granddaughter and I had a wonderful getaway with my horses. Everything was perfect. The trails varied from the edge of open fields, to excellent trails through the bush and more challenging trails on steeper terrain. A lot of work has been put in to offering many great trails. Anita was very flexible in how we fenced in the horses. We used electric fencing and were able to give them a large area to graze. This allowed the horses to settle in quickly and it gave them a great area to rest at the end of the day. The setup is really excellent for this type of adventure. Water was even provided for the horses. We were comfortable in the bunkie and the horses were safe and settled. There is no question that I will definitely be back again. Happy Trails!

Had a great stay the place was perfect for what I needed. John and Jeff were very responsive and helpful. Definitely would stay again.

Krista's place was absolutely lovely—quiet, serene, and exactly what we were looking for. The space was impeccably clean, and Krista was incredibly helpful and responsive. We can’t wait to return for another stay soon! Highly recommend!

We just came back and had a wonderful time. The cottage was the perfect peaceful and cozy getaway for my wife and I. The cottage is updated nicely and has all the amenities you could ask for our use. It was spotless and amazingly comfortable for our relaxing getaway. For this time of year it was amazing to still be able to enjoy the dock on the lake and have a fire every night. We would not hesitate to return and would recommend to anyone looking for a great northern getaway.

I had the best time at Sarah's place. It was so relaxing and and peaceful, I really needed to get away from the city and work and just take some time to unwind and relax. The beach cabin was a delight to stay in, everything was decorated so well and the hot tub and sauna helped us to decompress! There is a bbq to cook on and everything inside is spotless and pristine. It's a great place to visit for a girls trip or to reconnect with your partner! I can't wait to go back.

My husband and I had a really lovely time here for my birthday. It was the perfect weekend getaway from the city; private, quiet, and surrounded by trees in beautiful Baysville. Our dogs loved being able to run around the property and go on daily walks to the lake. The cottage itself was cozy and charming and had all the modern comforts we could need. The bathroom was especially nice! Though it was a chilly/rainy weekend, we stayed warm by the fire, used the SmartTV to catch up on shows, and powered our way through a thousand piece puzzle! All in all very relaxing. The hosts were also friendly, responsive and flexible; we’d book again!

Had a wonderful stay, the cabin was absolutely perfect. Very cute, clean and well appointed. I will definitely be back. I strongly urge vacationers to try Honeys Diner, down the Rd, delicious breakfasts and the Woodview convenience store has all your last minute items that you may need, not to mention very yummy locally made cheesecake and butter tarts. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ -Linda 🙌
