Vacation rentals with lake access in Barrie

We rented Amanda's place for 2 nights in the winter and it surpassed our expectations! Amanda was a great communicator. The older cottage has been extensively renovated, it was clean, comfortable and cozy. We loved the wood stove and the heating system worked well. The kitchen is first-rate, and very well-equipped, it even had decent knives! We cook a lot and we very much enjoyed making meals there. We loved watching the ever-changing weather on the river from the picture window in the living room, and even saw a beautiful sunrise. The star of our stay was the sauna—we have a wood-burning sauna at home and at our cottage—and we were very impressed with its size, the modern design, the huge picture window and the style of stove. It got up to temperature even in -17 degree weather. We hiked and snowshoed in the Alexander Hope Smith Nature Reserve which was a walk from the cottage. The town of Washago was a 11 minute drive, with a great grocery store. Would definitely stay there again!

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”!

We celebrated Mother’s Day weekend at this beautiful Lake House. This is truly a luxurious stay and made for amazing memories for our family. The Lake House itself is stunning, as are the views and outdoor areas. The kids (ages 5-10) loved the sandy beach and going into the lake. Thank you for an amazing weekend and stay - we can’t wait to return!

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful lakefront cottage in Innisfil! The location is absolutely stunning—waking up to serene lake views every morning was pure bliss. The cottage itself was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable Would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat by the lake. We can’t wait to come back!

Amazing responsiveness from pre-booking through to checkout! When you walk in the front door the view is stunning, and gets even better at sunset. Everything you need is readily available, kitchen has all you’d need. Loved the open living space for conversation. Even though neighbours are close, it still feels quite private on the deck and in the yard. Highly recommend this place for a smaller group. Just be sure you’re all ok with stairs as the bedrooms are all downstairs. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home!

We really loved our stay here! The place has everything you could need. The host was friendly and helpful. Great price for what is included. Highly recommend staying here.

We had a beautiful time at the lodge, everything is perfect, we loved every single detail of the lake house, it is spectacular, we definitely want to go back. Thank you Tracey and Joel for your hospitality and kindness!

This was my second stay at Dawn’s place and I had another fantastic experience. The place is extremely comfortable, modern, spotless and well stocked. Dawn is a terrific communicator and host. I can’t wait until I have the opportunity to return.

Our trip was a brief one night, but it was an amazing stay. Cathy went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The Boat Bow studio is very homely, tidy and as described, has everything you need for a stay. The surrounding garden area with sauna, spa, and plenty of areas to relax and unwind. Short walk to the beach. I hope I can make it back for another stay while I am in Canada!

The place is exactly how it was advertised. Everything in the property was well thought of in terms of what people might need in their stay. Kitchen was well equipped that I was able to cook without issues. The host provided info about the location and places to see which is very thoughtful. Will definitely recommend to friends and we will come back ourselves too! Thank you, Maria!

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.

We had a wonderful stay with Catherine and Tom. The place was spotless and stocked with all the essentials for cooking, making it easy to feel at home. The location was perfect - just a short walk to the town dock and everything else we needed. Catherine and Tom were incredibly flexible and went out of their way to help us during some unexpected situations. They were generous, thoughtful, and always responsive to messages. Their local knowledge was invaluable, and they truly went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. We would highly recommend staying here! 10 out of 10!!

We had the pleasure of staying at Jennifer’s place for a few nights, and we absolutely loved it. The location is perfect, right next to the beach, offering stunning views. We’ll definitely be returning in the future!

Olga’s home was beyond my expectations! The place looks exactly like the pictures, everything is spotless and very clean! There is a great attention to detail to making the home feel cozy! Olga was also very helpful throughout the trip and very responsive. It’s located very close to the restaurants and the underground garage parking was great! Overall 5/5, would highly recommend to others and will be coming back in the summer!

Great location , clean cottage , backyard is really nice, with a perfect sunset view. We had a relaxing weekend and would definitely visit again. Special mention to Richard, he is responsive and provided all the required information.

It was very nice stay.. we loved it here, thank u Patrick

Amazing host, the dock is separate from the house, a 10 second walk, the hot tub and sauna are in the backyard. Water is very heavy and smells a lot, place is older and has bugs, but overall it was a great stay if you’re not picky. The hosts allowed us an early check in and late check out. Just because of their service I give them a 10/10

Beautiful place to stay. House was perfect for a concert at Casino Rama near by. Would recommend 100%.

Trevor's Cabin has a breathtaking view. The cabin is really nice with a full wood panel interior, lots of large water facing windows, and is very isolated. The property was spotless. Super easy to check in with clear instructions. Trevor Replied to every message within minutes. BBQ was clean and in perfect condition. outdoor picnic table and 4 Muskoka chairs. Private dock. all in all, a perfect cottage getaway location. My wife and I will definitely be back.

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. Chris and Fran are lovely people and very friendly. We felt very welcome and the cottage is exactly as described. The kitchen is well equipped. Chris and Fran are great hosts. We will return again.

Really lovely spot! The cottage is super clean, well laid out, with lots of outdoor space and tons of amenities, from the hot tub, indoor/outdoor games, etc. The neighbourhood is very quiet and peaceful, and just a few minutes walk to beach access. Really enjoyed our stay, and appreciated the hosts frequent communication and clear instructions. We hope to return!

Great place to stay very clean and comfortable space. Plenty of space to stretch out and enjoy.
