Family-friendly vacation rentals in Peterborough

Beautiful lakefront stay! The lake was so nice for canoeing and swimming. My friends and I ended up paddling the whole lake in a day and had lots of fun doing so. The campfire place is well placed and has good seating.

We had a girls weekend, Sasha was so awesome, showed us around. Everything was so clean and breakfast that was included was absolutely amazing! 100%recommend her.

Jeremy's home in the Kawartha's was absolutely perfect for our 2 families and young children. From the moment we arrived we felt so at home! The property is stunning, nestled amongst the trees, though wide open and bright- there is generous deck space, a lawn for kids to run around on (as well as a zip line, swing and hammocks!!) and a sweet meandering path that leads to a quiet lake and dock. The home itself has a comfortable, spacious and relaxed vibe. It's mid century, art filled and modern. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need for creative cooking, and the amenities in general are generous- from board games to water sports, sauna and hot tub. While there we had rainy days and colder days, but there was always so much to do and explore that every day was rich. This home would also be a perfect winter getaway.. maybe one day!

What a great spot The Rogers Retreat is! Such cozy spaces inside for family hangouts, and a beautiful view of the lake. We appreciated all the amenities and comfy furniture. It was the perfect backdrop to our cousins' reunion. Chris was a welcoming host - very accessible and great communication. Thanks for everything!

The cottage has a spectacular view of the lake. It is very spacious and up to date. The kitchen was well supplied with utensils, dinnerware, pots/pans, an air fryer and rice cooker. The dock area is in great condition, so it is a terrific place to relax in the sun, swim and fish. The stairs from the cottage to the dock has many steps, so my 84 year-old mother-in-law with bad osteoarthritis of the knees could not get down to the lake to go tubing. She was very happy to stay in the cottage and enjoy the view. The is only a short drive to Buckhorn with a Foodland and a Home Hardware to pick the items that you packed but left at home. Alex and Sophie were quick to answer any questions. Overall a really enjoyable couple of weeks.

Had a wonderful stay and was able to relax and rejuvenate for a few days. Everything has been thought of and included for a comfortable stay. Really appreciated the jacuzzi tub and sauna. Hope to return in the near future!

Cori has done an amazing job decorating the cottage - it was a very well-kept and well-stocked space. The listing was very accurate and the check-in experience was very smooth. There was lots to do in the area and Cori had also prepared a binder with information detailing activities and attractions nearby. She was also readily available for any questions that we may have had. Thank you for having us as your guests - we're looking forward to coming again in the future!

Erika and Adam's place had great amenities and everything we needed for a weekend stay. The communication was easy, the place was clean and plenty of outdoor space for our group. This will be a spot we hope to repeat sometime.

We had a fantastic stay! Beautiful property& great hosts✨ we will for sure be back!

my stay at Mrinals place was amazing! it looks exactly like the photos and was so clean. my family stayed here before moving out of the country and it was literally stocked with anything you’d need! anything we needed in the kitchen they had as well as laundry detergent and cleaning supplies. there was so many extra towels, sheets, and bedding. the check in was super easy and everything was exactly like the photos. The driveway has good space as well, me and my family were able to fit 2 SUV’s. Mrinal was an amazing host and very responsive and kind. I highly recommend!

We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The house was lovely, well-maintained, and had all the amenities we needed. The location was perfect, offering both tranquility and convenience. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and are already planning to book it again for next year!”

Nice place for our whole family to stay. The cottage was nicely equipped and easy to get to with good proximity to Rice Lake. We would definitely recommend and not hesitate to return 🙂

Thank you for all that you did for us, considering our circumstances. We truly enjoyed your home and your hospitality.

I had the most wonderful stay at Jared’s cottage on Jordan Lake in Gilmour, Ontario! From the moment we arrived, Jared went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for a perfect getaway. His hospitality was truly exceptional – he even extended our check-out time to 1 pm, giving us extra time to enjoy the serene surroundings. The cottage itself was cozy, clean, and had all the amenities we could ask for. The lake view was breathtaking, and it was the perfect spot to relax and reconnect with nature. Whether it was answering questions promptly or ensuring our comfort, Jared’s attention to detail made our stay unforgettable. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat with an outstanding host, this is the place to be! Highly recommend and can’t wait to visit again. Thank you, Jared!

This cottage was breathtaking! We spent so much time on the deck and the dock enjoying the view! So peaceful and beautiful! The kayak was amazing for exploring the narrows and nearby lakes. The cottage road was lovely for hikes and for runs. What an amazing spot to get away from city life and spend time breathing in the fresh air! Highly recommend and would definitely come back! Robyn was a great host - quick to respond and make everything perfect!

South Bay Cottage is truly a perfect and lovely lake getaway. Drive off the main road and into your own private cove outfitted with everything you need for a wonderful stay. Once inside, the view of Lake Stoney can be seen through the large windows from anywhere in the main room. The sunsets and starry skies were so peaceful - and even though locals told us it was unusual - we actual had an amazing view of the Northern Lights! We loved that this cottage included all the linens we needed and lots of areas to get cozy and read a book - including the extra-special gazebo. While the kitchen area is small - it is well equipped with everything we needed. Close to great hikes (Petroglyph Provincial Park, High Falls at Eels Creek, Warsaw Caves, and many others.) Also great to explore the area's great golf courses, Wanderlight Alpaca walks (a must do), Peterborough Pete's hockey, Peterborough theatre, and amazing restaurants in Lakefield (Loon, Cassia, and more). Melissa was a wonderful host!

Natalia and Evgeney were great hosts. They were both very responsive, friendly, and accommodating. Check-in was flexible and easy thanks to Evgeney, who did a great job at setting us up with our cabin. The cabin itself was exactly as advertised. We found it to be very clean. The view of Rice Lake from our cabin was great, and the area is really peaceful and quiet. Overall, we had a great time here! It was a perfect relaxing weekend.

Margaret seemed very nice, she left croissants in the kitchen for us to have in the morning. Overall a very cozy spot to stay and we had no issues. One thing I noticed is that there's an adjoining door that connects from her side of the building to ours and I'm not sure if it locks, maybe it does but I didn't see a lock option on my side. Anyway it still felt private and we definitely got what we paid for.

We had a great stay at Thomas' place. He met us at check in, showed us the building, parking and any details we needed to know. He was very responsive, provided early check in, and coordinated parking spots for both our vehicles. The place was very clean and quiet. We would definitely stay again!

Stephen and Wendy were great hosts. They responded to every question and need and made us feel at home. The stay was quiet and very comfortable. Thank you Stephen and Wendy for accommodating all of our needs. I highly recommend Stephen and Wendy’s Air bnb.

The cabin is really nice, not too close to the other cabins near by. Dishes and silverware were provided which was nice, and a mini fridge as well. We brought our own portable stove as there is no oven/stove at the cottage, and everything worked out perfectly. We stayed in cottage #3 which seemed closest to the beach area and access to kayaks, canoes, paddles, etc. Front desk was very nice and supportive when we asked to have the beach shed unlocked for us to go canoeing. Golfing is also a really fun thing to do on site! We rented clubs and golf carts and had a great time. No complaints! Nice and quiet area to go with friends, family, or as a couple.

wonderful hosts who will help to solve any question in a short time, beautiful and clean accommodation that corresponds to the photo, we will be happy to return here again

We had a great time Gord’s place!The cabin is spacious, cozy, and functional with a fully equipped kitchen and two full bathrooms. Great location with easy access to the pool and a beautiful view of the lake where you can enjoy stunning sunsets right from the deck. The grounds are meticulously maintained with beautiful flowerbeds and ample lakeshore space, very quiet,creating a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. Gord and his family are exceptional hosts—friendly, respectful, accommodating, and quick to respond to any questions we had. Gord even offered a flexible check-in time and provided two heaters for a couple of chilly nights. His local recommendations for nearby attractions were also greatly appreciated. Additionally, their thoughtful gesture of providing a play kitchen structure with toys made our toddler incredibly happy. We highly recommend Gord’s place to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature. Thank you for a memorable stay—we look forward to returning!

Our family of 6 stayed at this wonderful family home for a week. My in laws are in their 70s and our two boys are ages 5 and 8. This home was the perfect layout for all of us. We all had our own space and the boys really enjoyed hanging out in the backyard “gazebo.” Upon arrival, we immediately felt right at home. This place has a beautiful, peaceful feel to it. Everything was clean and well laid out and the hosts have not missed a thing for their guests. Their guidebook was very thorough and helpful to those new to the area of Toronto/Scarborough. We did not have a car but found it very easy (and quick) to get around via Ubers. We were downtown for a blue jays game (kids Jay sundays are great!!) and a concert. We also spent one afternoon at the hockey hall of fame and the St. Lawrence market. A wonderful oasis to come “home” to at the end of a day in the city. The neighbourhood is so lovely just like this home. Thank you Liz and Derek for an amazing holiday!
