What Our Guests Say About Their Baylake Cottages Experience

I stayed at the cottage with my friends over the May long weekend and it exceeded our expectations! The house was beautiful and very spacious for our group and was in a perfect location on Bay Lake. I’d recommend to anyone visiting the area!

Sophie

Toronto, Canada

The cottage was fantastic! Lots of space for our group of 12 to spend time together and to have time apart. The highlight was the large dock that could fit all of us at once. The cottage itself is beautiful and comfortable, and it looks just as it does in the pictures. Communicating with Samir was a breeze. We had a wonderful long weekend here.

definitely a great place to stay at. most rooms were nice and large, the pond inside was a cool add. the area has a surprisingly low number of mosquitoes which made the trip much better. only thing to note is that 2 washrooms were open concept and some room locks were tough to use. amazing place overall

Navpreet

New York, New York

We had a great multigenerational family reunion at cottage. The lake was beautiful and everyone enjoyed the dock and boats. We walked outside of the property and found a nice trail in the woods close by for a hike. The cottage was quite accessible for one of our members who is in a wheelchair. The view from the dining area and living room was magnificent. We enjoyed watching movies and playing games in the two family rooms. The bedrooms were comfortable with lots of storage space. Towels and shower products were provided for our use. The kitchen was well-stocked, however could have used more serveware for large groups, and plastic dishes and glasses to bring to the dock. Several spices were stocked. The spare fridge was not very clean, but it served as a spot to store large food items. The indoor waterfall was a unique extra touch. Samir was responsive to messages and his instructions were clear. Overall we had a wonderful time!

Zoey Katz

Toronto

The place was great! It was very spacious and clean and well equipped to accommodate my group of friends. There was always something to do – from the kayaks, paddle boards, to the board games. The view of the lake is also very nice (especially in the mornings). Samir was also very responsive throughout our stay and was able to help as questions arose. We’ll definitely be back next year!

We spent 3 nights at this amazing cottage. When we arrived on the first day, I couldn’t get my eyes off fantastic back yard lake view, we didn’t go inside until 20 minutes later because the view is amazing and we couldn’t stop taking photos. It has everything you can imagine, pool table, WII, lots of table games, table soccer, Kayarks, Canoe and lots of extra. You can even find gold fishes in the inside pond in the living room Every room is clean and bright, room supply is perfect. Overall, this is the best cottage I have ever stayed. Host -Samir is super nice and always ready to help. Will definitely visit again!

Nick Zhang

Windsor, Canada

What an amazing weekend! We stayed over Canada Day weekend and there were 12 of us in total. I hate writing long reviews because no one wants to read that anyway, so I will keep it short and sweet. – Samir was an incredible host! Great communication. Always very kind! – His cottage is beautiful! The current photos don’t even do it justice!! Plenty of space, the pond is so cool! It has a beautiful, large kitchen. – The location is really nice. As you can imagine, cell service isn’t great but there is wifi that’s fairly strong. – I would love to visit again! It’s probably been my favourite of any of the airbnbs that I’ve stayed at. Samir was phenomenal, the location and the cottage were all so great. Thank you for your hospitality! I’m sure you will do very well with this property. 10/10 my man! 💯.

Donald Koster

Cambridge, Ontario

We vacationed with our adult children and older parents. The cottage is beautiful, just as depicted in the online pictures! The slight slope to the dock offered great accessibility for our parents. We enjoyed the roomy kitchen, the comfy sitting room facing the water, the games room, the dock, and the water crafts. Our sports enthusiasts were able to easily stream their games. The lake was mostly quiet and we could position our chairs to enjoy the sun or the shade. Samir is a very attentive host, quick to respond to any questions. This is a lovely place to vacation!

Susanne Sauve

Brantford, Ontario

We are a family of 8 adults and 1 child. This cottage is ideal!! Right on the water, your own beach and a dock. The cottage was clean and the kitchen had everything you could need. We had no ice and the owner within an hour brought us a counter ice maker. The bonus of all linens(sheets and towels) was also fantastic. He was very responsive and honest. Thank you for hosting our family.

Excellent host, a gentleman, friendly, and yet dealt professionally. This really made the difference right at the beginning. The cottage was great, clean, and as per photos and descriptions. If you really want to enjoy some quality family time, and have great time, I strongly recommend Baylake Cottage. Samir, thank you and you were right, “all we needed is food and family spirit”.

The house is very spacious, luxury style, rich with natural light and stunning views of the lake just a few steps away. The the location was perfect. Rooms are large and cosy and has a masterchef kitchen well equipped. The host, was responsive and helpful and we could contact him very easily.

Mario Jose Lourenco

Etobicoke

We could not have asked for a better location for a family reunion with 12 of us ranging in age from 9 months to 72 years. There was something for everyone! First the house is magnificent with beautiful bedrooms and luxurious bathrooms, a well equipped kitchen and lots of space to spend time all together or escape to a quiet corner. The little ones enjoyed the sandy beach, spending hours, building sand castles, sighting frogs and collecting shells. The older boys, and adults, spend hours and hours paddle boarding, kayaking, canoeing and swimming. A lovely, quiet, sandy bottom lake. A wonderful dock for the family to spend time together and the children enjoyed learning to fish and actually catching a good size lake trout which we did return it to its natural habitat. The camp fire allowed for lovely quiet evenings roasting marshmallows and gazing at the starry sky. All in all, this was a perfect spot to sit back and relax. We will definitely booking our next family reunion here!

Marie O'Keefe

Scarborough, Ontario

My family travelled to this beautiful cottage for the week of August 12. We had a wonderful time on Bay Lake and can’t wait to return next year. Our large family including my children and their families (six grandkids) loved the size of the cottage. There was plenty of space for everyone to have their own rooms with many common areas for us to spend quality time together. The lake was beautiful and clear. The kids mostly enjoyed fishing all day off the dock as well as taking out the canoes and kayaks. The toddlers loved playing at the beach with plenty of space for them to run around. Samir is an excellent host! Any questions we had were answered very quickly. We are looking forward to our return in 2024!

Lynn Guedens

Parkhill, Ontario

We have been renting as 3 families for the last 3 years and this is by far our favorite. The cottage is spacious, clean and has everything you need. The kids loved the games room! The waterfront was spectacular! The sandy beach was perfect for the little ones and the dock comfortably sat everyone. The dock gets sun from 11 am until 8 pm. The water is clear and great for swimming and fishing. It is a quiet lake and there is very little boat traffic. Rooms were very spacious and washrooms were well-equipped. The host was VERY responsive and answered all questions promptly. Thank you for a fantastic cottage week!

Violet Nave

Family Oasis is perfect for a large family gathering on a beautiful little lake that you can paddle around in about an hour, investigating uninhabited rocky shores and luxury cottages. There is a loon sanctuary at one end of the lake and some sweet little duck families that visited the cottage shores most days, including one lone duck who was quite comfortable coming right up onto the deck! The waterfront is perfect for kids – shallow, sandy, clean water. The two kayaks were safe and comfortable for adults and even adult plus child on your lap. The canoe is heavy duty and stable as is the inflatable SUP. We brought our own sand toys for the kids. The lake house is very spacious! The upstairs games room was a favourite space as was the family room facing the lake on the main floor. The kitchen was perfect for a few chefs to create delicious dinners for our group of seven adults and four kids. The sun hits the beach in the afternoon and the large dock space from 10am onward. The grassy area on one side of the cottage is great for family games! Our host was easy to reach if needed and communication was clear and respectful. We had a wonderful week!

Sara Jones

Scarborough

Our stay at this lakehouse was very comfortable and enjoyable. The house, dock and both decks were spacious for our family of 12 and the side yard had plenty of room for our family to play lawn games. The neighborhood was quiet and the lake did not have alot of boat traffic which made it enjoyable for kayaking and kids to play or swim. The hard packed sand and clear water were a huge bonus. The water was shallow along the dock which would be great for small children. There are 3 steps down to the water with no handrail which may be difficult for somebody with mobility issues. As a positive, there is plenty shade down by the water for anyone who may want to take a break from the sun. Inside, the kitchen has plenty of counter space for multiple people to prepare food at one time. The bedrooms are very large, most beds were comfortable and bathrooms were beautifully updated. Communication with Samir was very easy, prompt and without issue. I would recommend staying here as our large family enjoyed our vacation from beginning to end.

Lisa Langemen

Maidstone, Ontario

Thank you for the most memorable and enjoying stay at your cottage, Samir! It was such a pleasure to host our family reunion here with our two pups! This cottage is absolutely stunning, it had our guests praising about it all weekend. From the clean, spacious rooms to the well-equipped and accommodating living spaces, we all had so much fun here. This is is the perfect place to stay as it includes a variety of activities for indoor and outdoor uses that kept us and our dogs busy and amazed. It is also located in a great area where local grocery stores and amenities are easy to reach. The host was extremely kind and helpful throughout the booking process as well as during our stay. We cannot wait to come back next year! Thank you!
