Cottage holiday rentals in McDougall

We really enjoyed our stay at this cozy cottage. The location was beautiful—surrounded by nature, peaceful, and very private. It was just what we needed to unwind and take a break. The quiet setting made it easy to relax, and we felt right at home. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quiet getaway in a lovely natural spot.

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 a group weekend getaway and loved our stay! The house is very spacious and beautifully decorated. The host Ashley was very responsive and friendly. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a beautiful escape to recharge!

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

Our group had a wonderful stay at the cottage! Cassidy was very communicative and the amenities were top notch - we enjoyed the lakefront view, kayak, sauna and hot tub. Fresh towels and laundry within the cottage made everything super convenient. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

We stayed at this cottage over the long weekend and had an amazing time. The place was cozy, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The hot tub was a highlight—perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The backyard was spacious and peaceful, ideal for lounging or enjoying a BBQ. The owners were incredibly helpful, respectful, and responsive, which made the whole experience even better. Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to come back!

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.

Absolutely beautiful place and so well equipped. I’ve stayed in a lot of Airbnb’s and it’s not an exaggeration to say this is the best equipped one I’ve ever been to. Anything and everything you could think of. It’s also a great space, such incredible views and we loved the hot tub and the kayaks. Christina was an excellent host, brilliant communication and also some lovely welcome treats for our four year old, very cute. We loved our stay. The only thing I would say is if you travel as a party of four adults or older children, beware the light in the summer. The awesome floor to ceiling glass in much of the living room means it was very light very ealry when we visited in June. It didn’t matter as we bought our little one in with us, but something to bear in mind if you aren’t a party who can do that.

Had a great time at cottage. Great Location on a nice calm Lake. Very easy check-in. Staff very friendly. Very Clean and nice kitchen and BBQ. Would definitely recommend staying here. The Dome and other huts on property would be fun to stay at as well. Have already recommended this property and will probably be back.

This cottage was perfect for our golf trip. Seguin Valleys golf course was just 25 minutes away and the cottage had a nice back deck and dock to hang out on after our games.

Walker’s Haven is an absolute stunner!!! We came up for a girls weekend and fell in love with it instantly. The interior is gorgeous, just like the photos show, and so cozy while being spacious at the same time. But our favourite feature was the outdoor space The location of the fire pit with its string lights, the second deck by the water, the spacious dock… the whole layout is perfect. The lake is gorgeous, clear and just so peaceful. Also great for fishing! We had a great time, despite not having the best weather, and we hope to come back again! Thank you for sharing your beautiful space with us!

I had a great stay at Vanessa's cottage! She was very communicative throughout the process, which made everything easy and stress-free. The place was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and wonderfully private. I especially loved the access to the water, with kayaks and a float available to enjoy. It was the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. Highly recommend!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Bryan’s cozy cottage! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with peace, privacy, and the kind of charm you can only find in a well-loved home away from home. The cottage was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed! The outdoor space was the highlight! perfect for morning coffee on the deck, roasting marshmallows by the firepit at night, and just relaxing with nature all around. The lake was just steps away, and we enjoyed kayaking! My kids had so much fun! We cannot wait to be back!

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!

Beautiful area and home, quiet location for a peaceful vacation. Local shops and winery were dog friendly. Lots of trails and parks near by if you love hiking and being outdoors. 10/10 would visit again.

Lovely cottage by the lake. We spent our afternoon there canoeing and kayaking on the pristine Deer lake. Wes and Jana were excellent hosts. They were kind and were available to answer all our questions through the app. You will have a very private experience here. We loved sitting by the fire pit every evening. Wes was kind enough to cut some firewood for us. The kitchen is extremely well stocked. Algonquin park is about 1.5 hours from the cottage along HW60. However the cottage is beautiful and you could spend all your time on the water. Highly recommend staying here.

We had an amazing girls weekend at this cozy cottage! The space was perfect – just the right amount of room for our group to relax, play games, and enjoy some quality time together. It was colder than expected, but the cottage was warm and inviting, making it the perfect escape. Heidi was a fantastic host – super helpful, kind, and easy to communicate with. We’d absolutely come back again!

The inside was very neat and clean

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!

Absolutely loved our stay at Beaver Point Cottages! The place is cute, quiet, and in a perfect location right on the water. The hosts were incredibly helpful—we ran out of propane for the BBQ and had a new tank delivered within minutes. Couldn’t ask for better service. 10/10 recommend and would definitely come back! Thanks for everything!

We stayed at this cottage over the May long weekend with our family and had an amazing time. The property was spotless and very well maintained. It’s in a great location, close to the highway but still peaceful and relaxing. The kitchen had everything I needed, which made cooking for a large group (12 of us!) super easy. The lake was clean and beautiful, with plenty of water toys that kept the kids entertained all day. I highly recommend this cottage to anyone considering a stay—you won’t be disappointed!

We had the absolute pleasure of staying at Priolo on the Bay – Moody Escape, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Andy is a truly exceptional host. Every detail was thoughtfully curated to create a luxurious yet cozy escape. The cottage itself is immaculate – modern, stylish, and unbelievably comfortable. It strikes the perfect balance between high-end living and rustic charm. Tucked away in the heart of nature, it still offers every convenience imaginable: from fully stocked cutlery and snacks to campfire treats, firewood for both the sauna and outdoor firepit, a gas oven, extra lighters—you name it, it was there.The interiors are spotless and beautifully designed, making the entire space feel like a warm, peaceful retreat. Sitting by the fire, unwinding in the sauna, or just enjoying the serene forest surroundings—it all felt like a dream.This is the kind of place that makes you not want to leave!

We're reluctant to post about how good this property is, we'd selfishly like to keep it a secret. The property is just beautiful, with everything you could ever need, and Graham was a fantastic host. The area is just breathtaking. We are avid boaters and had an amazing time exploring the 30,000 islands and all the beautiful beaches, hiking, fishing, and sightseeing they have to offer. If you aren't into boating, there are water taxis and plenty to do on the island, fire pits, games, a beautiful sun deck, relaxing hammocks, the list goes on. We would recommend this 100%, and we felt very lucky that Graham and his family shared it with us. We hope to return at least once next summer. Thank you to Graham, Tennille and Jane for a wonderful getaway.
