Vacation rentals with lake access in Europe

We had an amazing stay at Caroline and Patrick's! Even though the weather wasn't great, there was so much for us and the kids to do! The pool was fantastic, basketball, tennis, etc- something for all of us. The house was spotless and we had everything we needed. The bed linen was so soft and the mattresses very comfortable. The indoor fire was also very special. We were so grateful for our stay, and can't wait to visit again! Simply can't recommend enough!

A nice place to stay with friends for a cottage. Great steam in the lakeside sauna, good dock.

Clean, well equipped property. Communication and access was good. Would use again

Honestly one of the best places we've ever stayed. The pictures couldn't do it justice. Lisa has made the place so welcoming and homey, the grounds/surroundings are beautiful and the house is wonderfully designed (the dual aspect living room is gorgeous). Lisa left lots of information along with a welcome basket and answered any questions quickly. We'd definitely go back.

Enjoyed the weekend with my family at Carina’s beautiful place. The house is as great as the communication with the host is effortless. The location beats everything! Having our morning coffee by the lake, taking a kayak for a little tour: magical. Will definitely come back.

Ann-Kristin's house is lovingly decorated and exudes charm. Everything necessary is available and the property is very generous. Two swimming spots and a restaurant are in walking distance. The house is ideally situated between Kalmar and Karlskrona. If you are looking for peace and quiet and have attention to detail, this is the perfect place to be.

The place was spotless. The home had plenty of room and bathrooms. Martha the care taker went out of her way to help us in every way. The home was centrally located for us to do day trips every day.

Noel and Karen are just the best! They could not have been more helpful. the property was breathtaking, somehow even better than the photos, Everybody in our party commented on how beautiful and comfortable the house was. Nobody wanted to leave. Noel went above and beyond with his messages, responding almost instantly with a great deal of helpful information. We left with some amazing memories. I could not be happier. I've spent the last couple of days scrolling though pictures of our lovely mini trip wishing I was there again. thanks again for all your help. Hayley

I am very happy with my stay here, the apartment is spacious, comfortable, simple but it has everything you need to cook basic things. Life is amazing and the sun enters the room in the morning, great!

We had a great time. The apartament was lovely.

We would like to thank Georgi wholeheartedly for all her help and support, you can stay with your family or alone with peace of mind and enjoy Ohrid, we will definitely come back in summer or spring!

Beautiful apartment! Very clean and comfortable to stay for a big family. Great location in very quiet and cozy area near Helsinki. Definitely recommended, worth its money!

Nothing but the best things to say! It was a very secure apartment building with gated entry/exit. The house was beautiful and picturesque, very homey and cozy. We would recommend this place for anyone looking to have a home away from home. We traveled from the US and she already had a hairdryer compatible with the electricity ready to go. Benedetta was wonderful! 15/10 experience.

The place was as described and could not have been nicer! Great location with very nice views. Communication with the landlords was also perfect. We can definitely recommend the apartment and will be back again.

Wonderful stay, beautiful view.

We were greeted by Alberto who met us at a nearby hotel and led us to the apartment. He showed us around and answered all of our questions. He also gave much appreciated advice on how and when to catch the ferries to other destinations. We especially appreciated the tip to walk up to the castle. The spectacular view was worth the steep hike up the hill. The pictures on this site do not do justice to the wonderful views inside. Varenna is charming, and this apartment in Varenna is as good as it gets. Thank you Giorgio and Alberto!

We enjoyed a lovely week, David was a great host and very helpful with any questions we had. Would definetly stay here again, as it isn't too far from La Rochelle, the coast or the Loire valley for anyone keen on wine.

What a beautiful place. Located on the lake shore. The cottage is beautiful, very traditional with modern touches. We all had an amazing time, Great location for trips in and around the area. All in all very impressed. And thank you for the additional touches 😊

We enjoyed quiet Easter days in Åland and especially benefited from the beautiful sauna. A small boat tour took us to Mariehamn and through the surrounding islands. Bikes and kayaks would also have been available. We felt at home, the kitchen is well equipped and everything necessary (shampoo, towels, etc.) is available. The view of the sea is a dream and we could have enjoyed it more days.

Very nice vacation. A vacation to remember. Perfect for relaxing and very close to nature

Certainly recommended. the cottage was lovely and well situated. Our hast was exceptionally friendly and very accommodating. We would certainly return.

My family & I have just had a lovely few days staying at this property. The cottage & grounds are beautiful with lots of flora & fauna - generous lawn to the front, lake & terrace to the rear & side, flower-filled borders throughout, all surrounded by fields, woodland & birdsong. We enjoyed using the hot tub overlooking the lake, a really special setting. It’s all very private & tranquil. The cottage itself is spacious & cosy, with thoughtful touches throughout (comfy beds, robes, well-stocked log burners), plenty of room for our family of four, plus dog (bonus - pet friendly!) & a lovely lounge to relax in after biking & walking all day. The kitchen was well-equipped, though we didn’t do any cooking. The location is great too – secluded but close enough to nearby villages. We’d definitely recommend having a car. Hosts were nice & friendly, easy to communicate with & quick to respond when contacted. All in all, a wonderful stay & we’d highly recommend to others. Thank you!

nice place to stay as a couple as a family not as suitable. would come again but with my girlfriend not my family. beautiful acess to the lake. amenities are suitable for short stays 3 days max. wish it had more outdoor furniture and a bbq but we made due. overall would definitely recommend

Great location and great little cottage in Portinscale. 20 min walk to Keswick. Bus stop 2 min away. Great host and great area which is why we came back for a week this time. Good place to stay long term too which we have in the past. If your in Portinscale don't forget to stop by the Farmers Arms for a pint.
