Cottage holiday rentals in Machar

We really enjoyed our stay at Dock Cottage. It was modern elegance mixed with warm vintage touches. It had everything we needed to make our stay really comfortable and we loved the dock, hot tub and kayaking on the lake. It was quiet and peaceful and felt far away from everything yet we were an easy walk from Miss Nelle’s coffee shop and ice cream stand where we went each morning for a coffee (opens at 7am), Muskoka Brewing Company for a beer and a few other Baysville shops. The communication and instructions were really helpful and we received prompt replies if we had a question so it felt like we were really taken care of. We will definitely be back and recommend it to friends.

Second stay for our family and we were not disappointed. Lovely place for some R&R and easy access to town to explore. Thanks again!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the cottage. The place was cozy, clean, and beautifully maintained – exactly what we needed for a peaceful retreat. The surroundings were serene, with lovely views and nature all around. Everything was thoughtfully provided, from comfy bedding to a well-stocked kitchen. The hosts were warm and welcoming, and communication was smooth throughout.

We were looking for a nice place with indoor pool for our kids, this place was exactly what we were hoping for! The house is very nice, has a few stores nearby to buy anything you might forgot back home. We will definitely come back again!

Jennifer's place was a perfect gathering point for our birthday family reunion. The accommodation was spotless, bright and warm and even had a little pack and play set up for the baby to have a nap. The grounds were stunning as was the view. Our only regret is that the weather did not cooperate so water activity was limited to a polar dip followed by a relaxing soak in the hot tub. A beautiful retreat that our family thinks should be an annual event.

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

Beautiful cottage and also nice outdoor decoration and nice walk to river with gorgeous lights! We celebrate birthday with family so plenty space for 10 people, 2 kids and 2 infants! Also just mention there’s noise detector which host didn’t mention on description, inside you can be pretty loud only outside have to respect live neighborhood but it wasn’t issue for us to celebrate birthday! Was flexible check-out from Bethany which helps us! Airbnb host is very responsive which is nice, there were a couple messages I had to follow-up on.

Leigh’s lazy lake house was absolutely perfect for a retreat into nature. We loved jumping into the refreshing lake after our hot sessions in the sauna and hot tub! Leigh’s kitchen is the most well stocked kitchen with all absolute amenities. We loved cooking slow meals, while listening to the vinyl records and enjoying the beautiful view! We highly recommend Leigh’s Airbnb for a relaxing getaway in nature with all the amazing benefits of spa like experience!

We had a great little fall getaway weekend and the cottage was perfect. It was just the 2 of us plus our 2 little dogs, which made for a very quiet, peaceful and relaxing escape. The sun rise and sunset over the lake is picturesque! The cottage had all the amenities we needed to cook our meals and just relax. Kim was wonderful to correspond with and was able to offer us an early check in and checkout to make the most of our weekend. Would definitely recommend a visit to this wonderful cottage on Pickerel Lake!

Host allowed us to check in early way ahead of usual check in time which was great. Had an extra full day to enjoy the cabin right by the lake with private beach access and lots of gear provided by the host (Kajak, Kanu, Boat etc.). Cozy little campsite with fire pit and chairs. Great view of the lake and fall colours. Very quiet despite neighbours to the right and left. Vast selection of DVDs for movie night. Short car trip to supermarkets in Huntsville. Had a great time and would definitely recommend it. Easily accommodates 4 adults.

Everything about our stay at Rocky Shore Drive was spectacular. This place is roomy with all the comforts of home. Quality furniture is found throughout the place . The home is grand , bright with all its windows , comfy and clean. Beds were exceptionally comfortable. Lots of extra linens and blankets are also available. Kitchen is fully stocked with drip coffee, a bodum, electric kettle , a microwave , dishwasher and a toaster oven. You will also find two large fridges with ice makers and water dispenser and two Jen-air stoves . Main living room has a super comfy sectional , big screen tv and a fireplace . **look for Woody in the main living room :) Upstairs ; a computer work station , a couple recliners and two bedrooms along with a washroom . Both washrooms were stocked with fresh towels and basic shower supplies; Shampoo n body soap . The basement ; a pool table , rummoli game , a drinking game , lots of books and puzzles to be found as well. Five stars all around ?

The Airbnb was a lovely place to visit. The cottage was clean, it had a beautiful dock with great water activities and an amazing view. As a host Kandice was very attentive, respectful and flexible. As mentioned in the listing, a four wheel drive vehicle is definitely needed in order to access this cottage, as the hill to the cottage is very steep. I will also mention that the neighbor was quite unwelcoming to us as a group of mid twenty year olds but this does not take away the fact that Kandice was able to step in and make sure we felt comfortable in her space. Overall my friends and I had a great time catching up at her cottage and would recommend it to others.

Beautiful spot with all the amenities. Feels private and secluded yet only a 10 minute drive from downtown Huntsville. James was super accommodating and responsive to our needs, would definitely recommend staying here if you get the chance!

We had an incredible stay at this charming cottage, which exceeded our expectations with its breathtaking view—perfect for soaking in the serene surroundings. The cottage itself was cozy, clean, and well-equipped, making it a true home away from home. The hosts were exceptional, always responsive and just a quick text away, addressing every question or need with warmth and efficiency. Their thoughtful touches and local recommendations elevated our experience. Highly recommend this gem for anyone seeking a peaceful retreat with outstanding hospitality!

We stayed for several days which were very peaceful. Wonderfully quiet and the hot tub and gas fireplace were easy to use. Very relaxing getaway.

Beautiful place to stay would recommend the stay for sure , very helpful with any questions I had

What a glorious setting! Peaceful location with nature all around. We didn’t see or hear any neighbours - utter tranquility compared to our usual hectic schedule/ semi-urban surroundings. The house was easy to find with clear instructions; there were thoughtful additions such as a full log basket, plenty of loo roll, laundry detergent, basic cooking supplies like oil/ seasonings and extra towels were available if required. Clearly a lot of thought had gone into making it homely. Host was responsive and helpful with recommendations and instructions - even maps of the best canoeing spots! We had a very peaceful stay and teenage kids loved it - even though it was autumn, we still enjoyed the lake, swam, hiked, went canoeing, and toasted marshmallows in the fire pit. If you’re looking for a city rush with lots of buzz, look elsewhere; for peace, beauty and the outdoors immediately available, this is a great spot!

This was our second time staying at the Canoe Love the house set up, the special touches - fresh farm eggs and bread! Beds are so comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need! Relaxed in the hot tub, enjoyed a paddle boat ride, game of pool and foosball competitions! Excellent place to relax and amazing hosts. We will have to come back and try the new wood burning sauna Until next time!

we had a wonderful and peaceful stay at this lakeside property. The surroundings were incredibly serene, offering the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. All the amenities were exactly as described, and the place was sparkling clean. Despite the long drive to get there, it was well worth it—the scenic beauty made the journey enjoyable. We especially loved spending time around the firepit, using the BBQ, and soaking in the beautiful views. It was a perfect setting for quality family time, and the host was very responsive and helpful throughout. Highly recommend!

We had a perfect stay at Michelle’s cozy cottage! We enjoyed nightly family dinners and morning coffees overlooking the beautiful views of lake Nipissing. Her place was well stocked and then some! (nice BBQ, air fryer, and espresso machine, cards and games, towels etc.) Michelle was a great host and despite a family emergency was still quick to respond and was available for any questions we had throughout our stay. We would definitely return again!

Second time booking this cottage/lakehouse.. beautiful spot, nice and private, perfect for every kind of group get together, hosts keep the place very clean and is very replies very quickly with answers to every and any question! Worth it!

We had a girls weekend at Chris’s place and it was amazing! The place was clean with an incredible view. We made great use of the canoe & kayaks & the large dock. The hot tub was super clean too, which out of experience you don’t always get. Chris was very responsive and helped with any questions we had. There was a general store about 10 min away & a bały mart 25. Overall really great stay & all 8 of us would 10/10 come back!

Fantastic place to stay. Don’t worry about the cold nights in the winter as the wood stove will make the cottage toasty warm with lots of hard wood in the shed. Large parking area for trucks and trailers. Place is newly renovated inside and out. Quite location in the winter. Will be going back for sure !

An amazing place with an eye catching view. If you want a peaceful place to relax it is a must stay.
