Cottage vacation rentals in Alnwick/Haldimand

This was our third year staying at Paul’s beautiful spot on the river. As a group of seven seniors this spot is extremely suitable for our needs to be on one level. A perfect place for a larger group. Thank you Paul for letting us enjoy your clean, easily accessible home for our holidays. Hopefully see you next year.

Enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property, has everything you need. We stayed the week of valentines and couldn’t have asked for more. I could only imagine how perfect it would be in the summer with the water sports and many other amenities this property offers. Erika and Adam were kind and responsive and helped us with all our needs!! Definitely would go again.

We had an amazing stay! From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcome thanks to Casey and Moose who went out of their way to create a warm, inviting vibe. The place was spotless and had everything we needed to feel right at home. It was peaceful and private, making it the perfect spot to relax and unwind. The little touches, like cozy blankets, fully equipped kitchen, and thoughtful amenities such as multiple streaming options and games, really made the stay easy and enjoyable.

"Heather's place is an amazing getaway—immaculately clean, spacious, and perfectly situated right on the lake. The beautiful surroundings and well-equipped facilities make it ideal for a relaxing stay. It comfortably accommodates large groups, especially families with kids. Heather was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We would definitely love to return!"

Brett is a one of a kind host - responsive, helpful, caring, and proactive. He didn’t hesitate or delay in answering our questions leading up to our trip and while we were at the property. His property is immaculately maintained, with all the small touches that make it feel like home for all guests. We encountered a weather emergency during our stay, and he proactively reached out to provide us with contingency plans, which took us by complete surprise. He truly wants every guest to have a perfect visit, and he should be proud of the experience he provides. Wouldn’t hesitate to book this property again.

Fantastic Family Stay! We had an amazing time at this property. It truly offers something for everyone in the family! The space is beautifully maintained and spotlessly clean, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, which made check-in a breeze. The host was very accommodating and responsive to our needs, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is superb – convenient, yet peaceful, with plenty of activities to keep all ages entertained. We loved the area, and it was the perfect place for family bonding. The property itself is stunning, with great attention to detail in its upkeep. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway with their family!

We had a great family weekend at Tedmond's cottage! We loved the property and the deck, although outside lighting maybe could have been a but brighter. Overall though, we enjoyed it! Thanks for having us!

The coach house is a stunning, peaceful retreat from the every day. Not only does it look like a space straight out of Architectural Digest, but it feels warm and inviting, private and peaceful. (So very insta-worthy in its decor and aesthetic.) Kieran and Tara (and their sweet pups 🐾) were wonderful hosts. Quick to respond and very helpful. The location is perfect as it’s only a few minutes from Cobourg and St. Anne’s spa.

Had a great time! The place was quiet and clean. I would love the kitchen to be better equipped, but overall, I highly recommend the property.

Beautiful and peaceful lakeside cottage! We had a great stay. Host was extremely responsive and helpful. It was very spacious and had good amenities.

We spent New Year’s at Leah’s place, and it was absolutely amazing. Her guest house is so cozy, and she’s an incredible hostess. Not to mention, her place is dog-friendly, which made it even better! It was such a memorable way to ring in the new year.

Just had a fabulous, relaxing family stay at Little Blue Heron Cottage! The cottage is stunning, with amazing lake views in a peaceful, private cove. The cottage interior was beautifully set up for both shared family activities and the opportunity for private reflection. An excellently stocked kitchen and three relaxing bedrooms with very comfortable beds definitely elevated our stay. Would love to experience this cottage in a different season and would be happy to recommend it to anyone.

Such a wonderful stay! Beautiful place. Super impressed with how clean, neat, tidy, and well-stocked it is. But especially how homey & cozy this place is! So glad we stayed here :)

Ke's place was fantastic. Would highly recommend to others for a short getaway from the city.

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!

Had a great weekend at the cabin! Unfortunately, the lake was still frozen, so we couldn’t enjoy it, but the place itself is beautiful and well-equipped for a relaxing getaway. The views are stunning, and it’s clear this would be an amazing spot for lake activities when the season allows. Looking forward to coming back!

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!

I came to this beautiful spot with my wife and five-year-old son in September. Our cottage was perfect for what we needed -- and we all appreciated the AC and hot shower! Our son had a blast playing on the playground, the beach, and activity room. He cried when it was time to leave! We all enjoyed the beautiful lake and the different water toys available, in particular the stand-up paddleboards. My wife and I had never used those before and had a ball! As huge Tragically Hip fans, we loved the various nods to the Hip on the property. Bobcaygeon itself is incredibly charming. We had a wonderful, relaxing time and it was terrific value for money. I'd recommend this to anyone and hope to return soon with some friends. Thanks for such a fantastic family experience!

check in instructions are clear and easy to understand. Swift response for any questions asked. Overall a good stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at Ken's place. We stayed during a pretty nasty ice storm so it was incredibly helpful that we had the back-up generator. His maintenance guy Bill was great at checking in with us and making sure everything was working as expected.

Really enjoyed our stay, lots of space and lovely view off the lake. It was a bit cold, even with the heating, but we were able to make a fire which helped. Only issue is that the dump is only open certain days, which would have been helpful to know, but we managed to find other places to take it. Also, there were some amenities like towels, soap etc already there which was helpful. local foodland only 10 min drive to get other stuff and loads of lovely local walks. We had a great time.

During our week-long stay at the Maple Grove cottage, we were charmed by its rustic and quaint appeal. The cottage had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. Our host, Lora, was exceptional. She was incredibly friendly and responsive to all of our inquiries and needs. When we encountered an issue with our showerhead, Lora promptly replaced it after we reached out to her. We enjoyed exploring the local attractions and various fishing spots. In the evenings, we relished the opportunity to relax by our private bonfire, which provided quality family time. Thank you once again, Lora!

This was our 3rd time at Sara & Matt's place, and needless to say we had a blast! It's the perfect spot for a fall getaway with all the changing colours. The cottage is super cozy and has so much authentic charm. The sauna was a totally highlight and it was super refreshing to hop in the lake after. We did some star gazing and even caught some of the Northern Lights one night. Other nights we spent enjoying the VHS and record collections at the cottage. Definitely recommend this place and we'll certainly be back!

Great Stay – Highly Recommend! We had an amazing stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The host was super responsive and made check-in a breeze. The location was perfect—close to everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again! Hey there
