Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Abitibi-Témiscamingue

We are in awe with how amazing this place is. The river is a joyous sight to enjoy, the house is comfy, the hosts welcoming, and the drive up was full of grand views. There are trails, games indoors and outdoors, the best stocked kitchen I've ever seen from an Air B&B, and an amazingly relaxing softtub. Wanda and Greg were immediately inviting and let us know in advance what to expect on how to get there and the fun things to do while at Valhalla and in Mattawan. If I could recommend anything to someone coming here it would be to bring a good pair of waterproof shoes and a day pack to explore the mountain paths. They were a great treat and we would walk them again in a heartbeat. There are so many things to rave about at this cozy home I can't list them all here but we will be happy to return and enjoy even more of what Valhalla has to offer.

Fantastic place by the lake! Highly recommended!

Thank you Dulcie for the lovely stay, we especially enjoyed the peaceful and beautiful scenery surrounding the cottage. The cottage was modern, clean and had everything we needed. Dulcie was super friendly and responsive throughout our stay. Bonus for us was being able to kayak and canoe on the lake which seems to go on forever! Overall, definitely recommend a stay here for those who want to escape the city for a bit and be in nature.

We had the most wonderful stay at this charming lakeside cottage! From the moment we arrived, our hosts went above and beyond to make us feel welcome — they were incredibly kind, responsive, and full of thoughtful touches that made the experience feel extra special. The cottage itself is beautifully maintained, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. But the real showstopper is the location — the views of the lake are absolutely breathtaking. Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee on the dock or watching the sunset reflect off the water in the evening, every moment felt serene and magical. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway surrounded by natural beauty and hosted by genuinely lovely people, this is the place. We can’t wait to come back!

Granite Lake Chalet was a beautiful spot for our family vacation. Host Pat was friendly and responsive, and her husband even helped us catch the NBA finals on TV. The kitchen was well-stocked for cooking for our party of 7. Bathrooms were clean with ample towels and toiletries. The upstairs primary suite was roomy, with a large closet our 9-year-old used as a sleeping nook. The queen bedroom downstairs bedroom was tight due to bulky furniture; the 2nd bedroom with the bunk and double was much smaller than expected and would be much better suited for just kids. The screened-in patio was a cozy highlight, with lights, blankets, and candles for bug-free lounging. We also loved “Em’s Hideaway,” a quiet reading nook. Sturdy steps led to a magical, well-lit dock—best we’ve seen in Ontario. Great for fishing and relaxing. We launched our boat nearby, though the steep dirt ramp may require 4WD if it’s muddy. Caught mostly smallmouth bass and a couple pike. A great stay overall!

We spent a week in France's home and enjoyed our stay. We were there for work so we didn't have much time to visit but we loved the place! The place was super-clean and France was attentive to our needs. In short, a small place that I would recommend!

Nice little house, good location, friendly host.

What a beautiful, cozy, and peaceful place! We absolutely loved our short stay at the farmhouse - comfortable, bright, full of inspiring art, and equipped with everything we needed for a wonderful stay, plus little touches that made it all the better, from soft blankets to wrap up in on the porch, to the cinnamon buns, croissants, and eggs from the farm's very own chickens. A peaceful atmosphere surrounded by woods and wildflowers, but just a few minutes from shops and restos in Wakefield, and a short drive from Ottawa-Gatineau. Also: bonus friendly farm cats that kept us company! Thanks so much for sharing your lovely place with us, we would love to come back.

This was our third time staying here and as always the accommodations were clean and the pool and hot tub were a hit! Great location, walking distance to downtown restaurants and activities.

4 of us stayed here for a week and it was more than we could’ve ever wanted! The apartment was beautiful and spacious with an amazing view of the lake. The outdoor seating areas were perfect for enjoying the weather and lake. Everything you could need for cooking was there and made making meals super easy. Overall we had a wonderful and would love to visit again!

Incredible host with a comfortable and tranquil home in an exceptional location. We were just passing through North Bay so we didn’t get to enjoy all of his recommendations, but between all of the highlights he suggested and this great property, I can definitely see coming back for a proper visit.

Beautiful place, easy check-in, quick and efficient responses from host. Would definitely recommend!

Amanda’s place is very cute and comfortable! Nice space and Amanda is very kind and responsive Would definitely stay again!

A beautiful little apartment with a beautiful courtyard set up a stone's throw from Lake Gagnon. Sylvie is an exceptional host, welcoming and helpful! I highly recommend it.!🌟🌟🌟

Very nice accommodation Everything was perfect Super Clean Easy access A beautiful place or night , I really recommend it

We had such a lovely time here! A sweet, cozy space in such a lovely town. We loved being right by the water and walking to cafes and restaurants! Sharon was very welcoming and responsive.

Jamie was a very good host and was able to respond quickly to any questions I had. The Airbnb itself was easy to find and in a good area with great accommodations. It was very clean and definitely a good deal, especially with how close it is to Mont Ste Marie.

Sylvain was very responsive and was receptive to a shorter than usual stay for his comfy place. An excellent host, he ensured that the propane gas fireplace had the pilot light lit, so it was easy to ignite upon arrive and get the place toasty warm within an hour or so of our arrival. Thank you, Sylvain! His partner Caroline was also very helpful with clear entry instructions for our past 8PM arrival... Merci pour tout, Caroline et Sylvain!

Great spot! Close to main street and all shops.

We loved it and plan to go back

Perfect place for a weekend at Mont Sainte Marie, right on the hill!

This was a perfect chalet for a weekend away. The location was great and they had everything we needed. We would definitely rent it again

Lovely and well located accommodation... directly on Lac Ste Marie...and food store across the road :)

been at Mike's quite often, to the point it feels like home every time now. best place we found to disconnect from our daily lives while still being close to civilization if need be. can not recommend enough
