Family-friendly vacation rentals in The Archipelago

Christine and Rebecca were amazing hosts!! The cottage was super clean, and had everything we needed. This cottage was also super fun for a big group, we played lots of volleyball, went out in the canoes, and did hot cold dips from the lake to the sauna. Amazing place, would totally go again :)

Joanne has been a great host from booking all the way to check out. She has communicated with us all throughout the stay. She was kind enough to give us a flexible check in and check out time. The place was as described on the listing and instructions were quite clear as to what’s what. My family and friends had a wonderful time.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful lakehouse! The home was spotless, well-equipped, and exactly as described in the listing—if not better. Waking up to lake views every morning was truly peaceful, and we spent our days kayaking, swimming, and relaxing by the water.

It was very nice stay.. we loved it here, thank u Patrick

Incredible details make you feel right at home. Its is fun and warm. Ping pong table was a pleasant surprise.

Al and Claudine were friendly, approachable, and professional right from the moment we arrived. I would highly recommend Commanda Lake Resort to anyone looking to get away from it all.

Steve and Jane offered us their lovely cottage for the long weekend and it was a lovely relaxing area, with shops close by it felt like a perfect cozy cabin. Enjoyed quality time with friends, plenty of amenities and super comfortable! They were highly responsive and kind. High recommend!

Patricia is a great host. The space is lovely with big beautiful windows, and was perfect for a restful retreat for three generations of our family! 5 adults and one infant. We did an unusual amount of cooking, and the kitchen is very well equipped for that. Two fridges, a stand mixer, blender, BBQ, etc, etc, etc - it was a breeze. I hope we'll find our way back! Clean, and well stocked with linens, etc. If you're looking for a place to rest or just spend time with friends and family, I recommend this highly. There are some day trips that are possible from here, but we mostly just stayed in and spent time with each other, resting from otherwise busy lives!

We had a great time at this lovely waterfront cottage on a small lake that’s easily accessible from Parry Sound. The cottage has been updated but retains its charm. Everything was clean and comfortable. Location is quiet, save for the occasional small airplane overhead from the nearby municipal airport. The sand beach is easy to access and weed free. The canoe, kayaks and SUP provided for use were appreciated. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us!

Paula made our stay amazing again! The fire was going and the place was toasty warm. We were lucky enough to be there while the goats were having their babies and Paula let all 5 kids stay out with her for hours. We all had an amazing peaceful weekend. Highly recommend!

This island cottage was everything I hoped it would be and so much more. The privacy was exactly what I was looking for. It was clean and decorated beautifully. The peaceful serene feeling of being on the island was what I enjoyed most. I would recommend this place as number one so far on Airbnb for me. I will be coming back for sure!

What a gem! This lovely cottage was everything we wanted. Private, clean and super cozy. The view from the deck steps away from the back porch was absolutely beautiful. Douglas was very friendly! His response time was very quick to any questions and he made sure we had everything we needed. His recommendations for around the area were super helpful too. Definitely recommend!

What a gem. This is a beautifully rustic spot in the woods for a gentle getaway on the water. There’s a bit of a scramble up a hill from the brand new dock (with amazing swimming and lovely afternoon sun!) to a sweet little cabin - everything you need for a comfier-than-camping holiday. There’s all the kitchen basics you need, and the wood stove makes it super cozy. The lake is quiet and the neighbours friendly. It’s a great spot for a lazy day in the dock, or a more adventurous day trip into Massasauga provincial park. Geoff was very responsive when the power went out and offered to come up to fix it right away. But we preferred to spend our last night in the warm glow of candlelight and wood stove. Highly recommend.

Patricia was a helpful host, very friendly and accommodating. Her place was peaceful, had a beautiful lake view. It was cute, cozy with rustic vibes. It was clean, organized, and had everything we needed. Also, the location is close to Screaming Heads and different hiking trails perfect for seeing the autumn foliage.

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.

Our recent stay at Hollow River near Algonquin Park was everything we hoped for—and more. Nestled in a quiet setting along a peaceful river, this retreat offered the perfect balance of rustic Muskoka charm and modern amenities. The cabin is spacious and well-designed, with plenty of room to gather as a group, around the large dining table, in the cozy living area, or outdoors by the fire. At the same time, there are quiet nooks where you can retreat. It’s clear the hosts have gone out of their way to create a space that’s both comfortable and in harmony with nature. We especially loved the outdoor sauna after a day of hiking. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped. The Wi-Fi worked well too, but honestly, we were happy to unplug and enjoy the quiet.

Clean, spacious home, big back yard, lots of parking, quiet street. hosts are super friendly and answered all my wonders. I would definitely bnb there again if the occasion would arise. thank you Catherine and Mike very much for everything!!

Always enjoy our stay at-rocky crest and this unit is ideal for a large group who need to spead out. Very responsive host. Look forward to coming back again.

We loved our stay at Mark and Betty's chalet. The place was quiet and clean. There was plenty of space for our two families, a beautiful deck space for enjoying a morning coffee, an indoor pool for the kids to use at the nearby resort (at a reasonable cost and only a 5 minute walk from the chalet) and plenty of hiking trails nearby. The hosts were responsive and offered helpful suggestions for things to do in the area. We especially enjoyed Mark and Betty's art collection, the many klompen (for the Dutch in us!) and the giant pileated woodpecker that would visit the birdfeed in the morning.

Yasmin’s place is nice and clean. There are free kayak and paddle boards provided, which is a super plus!

Janna’s cabin is perfect for a little getaway! The place was very homey and quiet! Beautiful view! I would love to come back in the summer! Would stay here again! :)

Amazing place you will spend your time thinking about when you will be able to return ! Amazing staff couldn’t have asked for a better weekend !

Idyllic gem on Georgian bay. Perfect for a small family getaway by the lake. The resort pool is a big plus for the kids. Beautiful surroundings and stunning sunsets. Jefferson is a great host. Very friendly and responsive. He kindly accommodated our request.

From the very first conversation, Andrey was professional and helpful. the place is as described plus more. Everything was well kept, the little boat was amazing, and most of us caught fish. There was something to do for all of us. Andrey accommodated us to an early check in, and offered a late check out, even though we didn't ask for the check out, it gave us a little more time with our family. We had pretty much packed up even though he sent the message early.. The fire pit area is right on the eater, and a lot of planning was put into it. there was plenty of room for our 3 dogs, 9 adults and one child. Sitting outside was peaceful. it was very private, with security cameras outside to help us feel safe at night. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. well worth the drive, I think we have found our permanent holiday that we take with our family each year. Thanks!!
