Holiday houses in Balderson

This cottage was amazing. Exactly what we were looking for during this annual fall family trip. Clean and had everything we needed plus more, would definitely come back again!

I can't say enough good things about Marla's Airbnb. We were there with another family in December and it's gorgeous! There was enough room to comfortably fit 2 families (collectively with 3 preschoolers and an infant). The separate but connected apartments were perfect for each family to have their privacy when needed but also come together. We had meals enjoying the beautiful view, snug next to the fireplace. The hot tub was wonderful. Communication was easy and Marla is graciously accommodating. For those of you traveling with infants, there's a baby bathtub and a pack n' play. I highly recommend and am hoping to come back soon.

Tim's place is beautiful and great for a family or a small group of friends. the views are breathtaking and aside from 1 neighbour(who was not there the whole time) it is a very private location. the place was spotless clean when we arrived!! we had some issues with sleeping arrangements as we got extremely unlucky with the weather while we stayed and were hit with cold fronts and rain. Was way too cold to sleep in the bunkie and unfortunatley there is no heating in there. I would say 6 people max to reach max comfortability in this cottage. We will definitely be back here with a smaller group and no baby!

Very nice place to visit, the house is so beautiful and well furnished. Ziad was a super cool and nice host. Will definitely comeback there soon.

Our family and dog had a great Christmas time at Blake’s place. Right on the lake and within walking distance to the town of Westport. Cottage was fully stocked and comfortable for the family of 4. Kids enjoyed ice fishing and star gazing. Blake and Lizzie were wonderful hosts and very responsive.

Sheridon's place was great. It was the closest place to stay to the lifts at Calabogie, not counting the resort right beside the hill. Super easy to get to and from the ski lifts. Normally a ski in/ski out, some of the runs at Calabogie weren't open yet which meant we couldn't ski in ski out. That's not a issue with Sheridon's chalet, it was just timing and run availability at the hill. Great fireplace. Awesome water pressure. Renovated kitchen with all the expected amenities. My kids loved it. We will definitely stay at Sheridon's place again in early 2025 when we get back to Calabogie.

Here's a condensed version under 1000 characters: "We've rented many cottages, and this one is by far the cleanest. The waterfront is beautiful, with a well-kept fire pit and a peaceful lake that felt private during the week. The cottage was thoughtfully stocked with everything from soap and coffee to all the necessary appliances. The internet was fast, and the heat pump kept us warm on cooler nights. We kayaked and canoed around the lake several times, enjoying the wildlife—turtles, herons, ducks, loons, and frogs. The fire pit was perfectly placed for sunset views, with plenty of kindling and wood. The BBQ worked great, and Verona offered everything we needed, including good food at Muddy Waters Restaurant and treats at a local bakery and Kawartha ice cream shop. The fall colors were stunning throughout our stay. Highly recommend this cottage for a peaceful, well-equipped getaway!"

We loved staying in this perfectly located, tastefully decorated, well-appointed home. Everything is well done from the comfortable beds and soft linens in the bedrooms to the colorful pillows and throws on the front porch.

Nick's place is the whole package....very clean , accessorized well, full of ambience and within walking distance to anything A Bay! thank u so much for hosting us! we would love ❤️ to return Patti & Brian

We stayed for 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment was beautiful as well as the property. It was the perfect size for my boyfriend and I and felt very homey. Short drive to Nordik, Chelsea Pub, and Gatineau Park. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to the area! Very happy!

We had such a cozy and comfortable stay! The sunsets over the river were breathtaking. The fenced yard was such a luxury to have traveling with our dogs. It was a great location that made getting to any of the nearby towns and state parks very accessible! Highly recommend!

The Happy Place cottages are lovely. Our group of 5 stayed in the Explorer cottage. Excellent use of space and very nicely decorated. The view and the surroundings were so peaceful. We enjoyed sitting on the dock talking then have a beautiful fire. There was another group staying at the Dragonfly who joined us at the fire. It was a nice sense of community. Every one is us said we’d come back again
