Vacation rentals with lake access in Barrie

We rented Amanda's place for 2 nights in the winter and it surpassed our expectations! Amanda was a great communicator. The older cottage has been extensively renovated, it was clean, comfortable and cozy. We loved the wood stove and the heating system worked well. The kitchen is first-rate, and very well-equipped, it even had decent knives! We cook a lot and we very much enjoyed making meals there. We loved watching the ever-changing weather on the river from the picture window in the living room, and even saw a beautiful sunrise. The star of our stay was the sauna—we have a wood-burning sauna at home and at our cottage—and we were very impressed with its size, the modern design, the huge picture window and the style of stove. It got up to temperature even in -17 degree weather. We hiked and snowshoed in the Alexander Hope Smith Nature Reserve which was a walk from the cottage. The town of Washago was a 11 minute drive, with a great grocery store. Would definitely stay there again!

Everything was excellent except the fact that we chose the worst weather. It is a perfect getaway where you can relax in the nature. Very caring and professional host. Cozy and clean cottage. Wish we could've stayed longer.

Herb was an awesome host. Answered all the questions before hand within a matter of time , place was perfect for our weekend , also helpful to have a handbook of things to do , places to visit , local restaurants ect. Would definitely like to return in the summer for a stay on the water !

Dylan’s place was better than anticipated. Large, well-laid out, clean, beautiful views and well-stocked. I think most impressive was Dylan himself who was extremely responsive and friendly. He is a SuperHost. I would absolutely come back,

amazing location on the waterfront. So relaxing to be away from the city. was great for travelling with kids. thank you for letting us stay

The photos of this home looked fabulous. In person, it was even better! Stunning accommodations, gorgeous location on the water, high end finishes throughout the house and better than we expected. Extremely clean and well-stocked in each and every room. I can’t say enough about this place, we would love to return and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to any of my friends or family.

The place was at a perfect location, and it was beautiful and well maintained. Host was very welcoming and helpful. We really enjoyed our long weekend visit at their place. 100% Recommended

We had an amazing experience staying at this Airbnb! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The place was just as described – clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated. It felt like a true home away from home, with all the amenities we needed and more. The host Alon was incredibly welcoming and responsive, making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. He was always available for all our questions , It was clear that he genuinely cared about our experience. This was one of the best Airbnb experiences we’ve had. We will definitely be back again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient getaway!

We had a wonderful time at Dawn's airbnb. We were in town for our wedding and they were so kind as to write us a card and leave a snack box for us. 10/10 recommend

I stayed in the cottage for one night in a cozy one-room setup, and it was such a lovely experience. The place was beautifully decorated, warm, and inviting — it felt like a perfect little retreat. Everything was thoughtfully arranged to make the stay comfortable and relaxing. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful and charming getaway! Thanks Cathy ☯️

Another great stay. Love this place. Clean, comfortable, and the host is fantastic. Looking forward to next time.

Friendly hosts and excellent apartment!

Peaceful and quiet. Just what I wanted. The area is quiet and slow paced. My host was friendly and always responded within minutes. She accommodated all my requests

Catherine was a superb host and even gave us delicious slices of pie during our stay! We felt right at home!

Olga’s home was beyond my expectations! The place looks exactly like the pictures, everything is spotless and very clean! There is a great attention to detail to making the home feel cozy! Olga was also very helpful throughout the trip and very responsive. It’s located very close to the restaurants and the underground garage parking was great! Overall 5/5, would highly recommend to others and will be coming back in the summer!

Beautiful view from the living room/kitchen/dining/deck area! In a very quiet neighbourhood but still close to downtown Penetang and shops and services. Kitchen has everything you need to cook simple meals. Cosy and comfortable living room.

Tatiana and Tymur were wondering hosts. They really care for their guests and for their beautiful cottage. The large windows in the cottage really showcased the beauty of the outdoor space. There are many rooms with comfortable beds and three washrooms - all well equipped- which was great as we were traveling in a larger group. The kitchen had everything you needed. We loved the large family living room, they even had extra games for us to play. Everything was kept tidy and clean. We all felt comfortable and at home. The family was already asking to come back in the summer! Thank you again ☺️

My family and I had a fantastic stay - the location is so peaceful and calming. We will definitely be back for a summertime visit soon!

What a great location for a cottage! The included boats (canoes & kayaks) are really nice. We went in late October (end of the season) and the neighborhood was nearly deserted. We were often the only people out on the lake. It takes about 20-25 minutes to paddle over to one of the several waterfront restaurants in Port Severn. Trevor's communications were very precise and easy to follow. Only negative comment concerns the well water. It's not just high in minerals, it is so high in minerals that it smells terrible and you really don't want to shower in it.

Great place, great hosts.

We loved our time here! Robert was responsive and answered all of our questions. Instructions were clear. The cottage was clean. There was enough space for 6 adults to feel comfortable and have enough space, and a number of gathering spots to play games, eat together, etc. We were particularly impressed and grateful for all of the amenities--they have it all! For activities: 2 kayaks and a canoe, various-sized life jackets, even 2 fishing rods! Lots of games inside. There were plenty of towels, toiletries, fragrance-free laundry detergent with the washer/dryer. The kitchen is well-stocked (plenty of dishes and cutlery, large mixing bowls, baking pans, pots/pans, oils, sauces, condiments, spices), and we cooked many large meals. The fire pit was great, and they even have bug spray! The park down the street has a new tennis/pickle ball/basketball court. Cons: you can definitely hear the trains and highway, but we expected this going in. Would still recommend this cottage!

Beautiful property on Lake Simcoe with more than enough room for everyone we absolutely loved our stay and requested to stay longer but unfortunately it was committed to other guests. Great hosts, great communication. This property is the place to stay if you are looking for a spacious, lakefront property with privacy in Innisfil which is very hard to find. Highly recommended!

From beginning to end we had a great experience. The home had gorgeous views and fall colours, the home was comfortable, the bedrooms cozy and the beds, comfortable. The kitchen living dining open area made for a great communal atmosphere and we had great fireside chats. The weather was gorgeous so it allowed us to do yoga on the expansive deck. It was an all round wonderful stay and Agatha was very responsive to questions.

Really enjoyed our friends weekend getaway at this cottage. Very clean and well maintained!
