Holiday rentals with a kayak in Tay

The place was beautiful and we had a lovely time. We would recommend 🙂

We stayed here for a Family Day getaway recently. Very private and relaxing location with beautiful views of Georgian Bay. Evgenia was a wonderful host, very responsive and friendly and willing to go the extra mile to make our stay comfortable and memorable. I would definitely recommend staying here and look forward to returning.

Keith is a great host! He gave very clear and easy to follow instructions about the property! We also had the privilege of checking in a few hours early, which was very helpful with our 6 month old. The house/property was beautiful and had everything we needed for a weekend away with friends. My husband and I really appreciated that there was some baby furniture available as well! We look forward to staying at Keith’s property again in the future :)

Our stay here was fantastic. The house is big with plenty of rooms for a big group. It was clean and orderly. There is a beautiful dock with a canoe, kayak and life jackets. Our host Fred was very kind and accommodating. I would recommend this to anyone looking a cottage getaway.

We stayed at Dylan’s place for the weekend with 13 adults and 4 kids. There was enough rooms and beds for all of us with adequate bedding and space. The house was clean and well equipped for our weekend! Before the stay we had lots of questions and Dylan was very responsive and answered everything in a timely manner and with lots of details. He was always following up during the weekend as well. The dock is beautiful and amazing! It was a bit buggy but that’s expected near the waters. We used the kayaks and boat and had a wonderful time!

Great place and great host..they were quick to respond to queries..and the big yard on the side was a big plus which other properties generally do not have..will be booking again next year..

This cottage was the perfect winter getaway with friends!! It’s cottage-y feel & look with lots of pine is gorgeous and you can tell this cottage is very loved. Even though it’s not brand new or modern, its charm & true cottage feel/decor has been very well taken care of. The kitchen is FULLY stocked with everything you could need. The 4 bedrooms are cute, cozy and quite spacious. The 2 bathrooms are clean and very functional. The back deck, BBQ, outdoor fire pit and lake view were also so great. I’m sure this cottage would also be spectacular in the warmer months. Such a wonderful stay !!!!!

Our stay was comfortable and quiet, being right by the water was a very pretty. walking and driving distance to many convenient places. The house has everything you need and was a comfortable place away from home. Definitely would visit again. We had our dogs with us and lots of room for us all without feeling crammed in. Only complaint and it’s not even a big deal but an upgrade on dinnerware we thought was needed. Enjoyed our mini getaway overall! Don’t hesitate to book this house!

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.

We had a wonderful time here on a short excursion out of the city! the cottage itself is magical with a beautiful view of the lake and a gorgeous back patio shaded by trees. Bryan and Pam were very helpful and had made sure to provide everything we needed and more

Very accommodative and responsive host. The place is at a great location. It is breathtaking and peaceful.

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 had a wonderful stay for a girls weekend! The indoor and outdoor space was lovely and comfortable. There was so much wild life visiting the outdoor space which made for exciting views! The lake was beautiful, and calm. Our only minor notes were the hottub as it wasn’t at the standards of clean we expected (sand in it and water was slightly murky) and the dock being covered in bird poop and dead fish. All in all, we greatly enjoyed the space and would love to come back for another girls weekend.

Space suited our needs great for a group of 4, place was nice tidy and clean. Hot tub was a nice touch after a long day. Thank you.

Kevin was a great host and very responsive! We got a surprise early check-in without requesting one! This place is breathtakingly beautiful and we will definitely be back!

Absolutely beautiful cottage! It was also very clean. The views were spectacular

We had a great stay at Lisa's place. Our family spent a lot of time on the water exploring the lake in the available canoe and kayaks and really enjoyed the sauna and hot tub in the evenings. The outdoor space is setup perfectly for living outside on those sunny days and inside the cabin is cozy and has all the amenities you need if the weather isn't great.

Laura was great and very easy to deal with. She was very friendly and easy to contact. We loved our weekend away and enjoyed the kayaks. Such a peaceful little gem and would definitely go back

It was another enjoyable stay. This is our second time staying at Micheal’s listing here in Norland. The scenery is beautiful and we enjoyed all the amenities. Thanks again for the relaxing getaway :)

We had a great time here celebrating my son's 6th birthday and Father's Day. Not many places can boast a great little private beach plus a dock, and the fishing off the beach was great. We also saw lots of turtles, including some babies, which were adorable. The beds are super comfortable, as is the living room. We loved having use of the paddle boat to see more of the natural beauty of the lake. Great spot!

I highly recommend the Lake House in Dorset/Raven Shores. This cottage was perfectly situated and close to scenic attractions and many trails. The property was picturesque morning, noon, and night. The perfect spot with easy access to the lake. Their customer service and attention to detail is second to none, exceeding my expectations every time. The hosts were readily available and responded quickly. The cottage was warm and Cozy "just like home." It was equipped with everything a family would need and more. We would stay again.

We had an amazing time with the family at this incredible spot! It offers the perfect balance of modern comforts and breathtaking natural beauty. From stunning views to peaceful surroundings, it truly felt like an escape into the heart of the Canadian north. The host was exceptional—always responsive and helpful. We especially appreciated having access to kayaks and canoes, which made our days on the water even more memorable. When we realized we had forgotten a watch, our host kindly mailed it back to us, saving us a long trip—such a thoughtful gesture! We loved it so much that we extended our stay after the first few nights. This is the ideal getaway for anyone looking to relax in nature without giving up modern amenities. We’ll absolutely be back!

This was our second visit to Taylor’s place on Otter Lake and it was just as beautiful as we remembered ☺️ such a quiet lake, the cutest cottage and private dock, and anything we needed in town was less than 15 min away. This is such a gem of a spot it’s become our annual anniversary destination 🥰❤️

We had a wonderful stay at Annmarie’s cottage. The house was fully stocked with anything you might possibly need for a weekend away. Communication was excellent - Annmarie’s clear and proactive instructions made it a breeze to find and access the cottage. Whether in the cottage, on the deck or on the dock, the view of the bay is spectacular. We would definitely stay again!
