CottageRental.com

We have used cottage rentals a few times and have always been very happy with the cottages. The descriptions always reflected the actual experience. Communication was always good with quick response times. We always feel confident that our rental will be a success.

The staff at Cottage Rental dot com are extremely communicative and helpful! They helped me plan the most wonderful cottage trip in Haliburton. We received a thorough welcome package with all the cottage/area information and accurate maps! The cottage itself was breathtaking, spotless, and very warm and rustic. The owners of the cottage gave us a quick phone call and recommended things to do in the area! The reviews section on their website is actually very detailed and informative, so I would suggest reading the reviews for the cottages before booking so you’re informed. I usually stay away from booking cottages with no reviews. But the staff at Cottage Rental do a fantastic job answering all questions as well, if you have more specific ones! So many wonderful memories were made, and I cannot wait to go back! Already booking for a winter trip, and getting ready for booking next summer’s trip!

Friendly helpful and efficient. Always a pleasure to deal with. They are outstanding across the board

Reliable company, used their service on June 2023. All went well and me and my family enjoyed a trouble free and relaxing stay. Will book again with CottageRental in the future.

WARNING. Do not rent from Cottage 585 on Chandos Lake Apsley. This is our first cottage review ever.Description of Cottage.The lake is gorgeous, the scenery is magnificent, the cottage will give you that quaint woodlands experience perched atop a beautiful hill side. Just 700 short stairs down to the water. Be prepared for the authentic 1st settlers experience climbing mountains and dying from heat stroke.And then to settle back home for the most numbingly email exchanges from the owner demanding compensation (approx. $1,110) for a few beer caps left behind and the fridge not being wiped down.We've rented four cottages before, and we left this place spotless (even de-weeded the garden) only to come home and be sent the below photos of alleged (damage / not being cleaned).We should have went with our gut instinct and not booked here as we could not find reviews for this cottage (anywhere).

I have been using cottage rental for many years now. They are my go to site when I am looking for a cottage for the family to vacation in the summer. What I love about them is they are so professional. They take many pictures of the cottage inside and out so you know exactly what you are getting. There are no surprises. The site does a nice break down of every area so that every question you would think of asking about the cottage has already been answered. They have a wide variety for every budget range. They are efficient and responsive to questions or concerns. Renting a cottage is a vacation investment and you need to trust the company you are working with. Just visit their site and you will see for yourself from the layout how serious they are about finding you the perfect cottage!!

The team at Cottage Rental were attentive, professional, and pleasant to work with. It was nice to be able to speak with a representative on the phone to discuss rental options, prices, as well as additional details about all the properties they represent. We worked with Jane and Jeremy, and they truly cared about finding the perfect cottage for our family vacation. We were very impressed and will definitely work with Cottage Rental again in the future!

I have used this company since 2014 for my yearly cottage bookings and refuse to use anyone else. They are by far the best company out there for renting cottages. I found all other cottage rental websites to not be user friendly, or to have a lack of staff (or none at all). Their website is incredibly easy to use and the booking process is simplified using their services. The customer service should also be noted as they have excellent service. They have ALWAYS been kind to me and do their best to accommodate/assist no matter which employee I am dealing with. Response times are also fabulous. I have never had to wait longer than same-day or overnight for a response (depending on when I have emailed them).I've visited 4 different cottages over the years (I now consistently book my favourite cottage exclusively) and each one has been kept in great shape and clean upon my arrival. You always receive a booklet in advance of your stay with every piece of information you could possibly need to know (directions, waste disposal, general cottage information, information about the area, etc). I am never left worrying in advance of my vacation or with any questions.They are just a great company and if you want to rent a cottage, I highly recommend them, and them alone.

CottageRental.com has made booking a cottage safe and easy. I have rented in 3 locations now and each time the process was professional and reliable. The one time I had some questions, on site, the response was immediate. There are so many people out there trying to scam, it is a comfort to work with a company you can trust with your money, your safety and your vacation.

Booked a cottage with them for June 12, 2021. Due to government restrictions for COVID -19 short term rentals are not permitted until June 14, 2021. They contacted us to inform us of this issue to make us aware. I requested to see if we could only attend for 5 days starting on June 14th to adhere to the Ontario governments COVID restrictions. They denied this request due to their strict 7 days booking policy. I then requested for the refund and they are refusing the refund until the date of June 12, 2021 because the government may change the date. They are essentially holding my refund hostage in hopes that the government will potentially change the dates. This is unacceptable. I understand the need to cancel and follow government rules, but holding my money hostage is unfair and provides poor customer service. Especially during such unpresented times. If I had advised that I wanted to pay for this cottage, but it was based only on if the government would allow it they would have never held the reservation for me. Double standards and poor business practice.
