We had a fantastic stay at Fairy Bay Lakehouse. Another group had booked all but two rooms, but the property still felt peaceful and relaxing. We spent time kayaking and swimming and really enjoyed the beautiful lakefront setting.

We stayed in a Deluxe Room with a jacuzzi, which was a wonderful touch after a day on the water. Everything was exceptionally clean and very well maintained. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and it was clear that they cared about making guests feel comfortable.

This was such a relaxing getaway, and we absolutely loved our time here. We will definitely stay here again the next time we’re in the area!

Highly recommend! 🌊🚣‍♀️☀️

We had a wonderful stay at Fairy Bay Lakehouse in Huntsville. The property was clean, comfortable, and beautifully located with stunning lake views. It was the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. The hosts were welcoming and attentive, making our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this hidden gem and would gladly return!

This place was great, with lots of cute extras! Canoe, kayak, dock that you can use. A great playground, and clean rooms. There is a kitchenette and fridge so you can make simple meals. A cheap alternative to a cottage.

Here’s a cleaner version:

We loved our room, the corner windows, and the location of the Airbnb — only about 10 minutes from Huntsville. We also felt very welcomed.

That said, I think there is room for improvement. Most importantly, the bed didn’t feel clean. There were some visible stains, and it didn’t smell fresh. The bathtub was a nice bonus, but there was no shower head holder, which made showering difficult. We stayed in late May, so I understand it wasn’t peak season yet, but I still felt the outdoor area could have been maintained a bit better.

I had issues as soon as I got there, but the staff took care of it immediately. Ended up being an extremely nice stay. My particular room was on the lower level, but the windows were above grade and a direct view to the Lake!

Any place can be improved, but they showed that they are willing to get better. I like that.

Amazing view from corner room on top floor. Lake and sunset. Very quiet and spacious and comfortable furnishings. The manager, Amit is always helpful, responsive and kind. So convenient to have your own microwave, fridge, coffee maker, and kitchen facility downstairs. Next time I want to spend more time in the common eating area and meet people, but it's a fantastic hq for Spring hiking and rest, close enough to town for food options but not far from the park, either. Price very fair when I stayed mid May.

The location is stunning! Beautiful views over the bay, quiet road and you truly feel you are in the muskokas.
The kitchen that is pictured in the photos I did not see anywhere. It is a neat boutique hotel. They thought of a lot of smal touches, eg. Umbrellas for a rainy day.
Some guidance as to where to find your room would be nice with maybe a layout of the rooms, when you check in outside of the’office hours’.
Also, it is decent clean. Bedding was very clean, but the back of doors, trim, th drip tray of the keurig were questionable.

We didn’t quite know what to expect but chose this over air Bnb as disappointed with last experience. We loved our stay here. I had called ahead to see about having a campfire by beach as we love camping. Amit the manager said yes you can- bring own wood or purchase in area. We enjoyed a couple campfires with wood we brought despite how cold it was. Our beds were very comfortable!! Microwave and fridge with freezer great to use. There was also a common room in basement with tables and large screen tv - another small room that had dishes and you could use - I forget if there was an oven as didn’t need one. Extra bathroom downstairs too. We already booked to stay again as so much to do in the area and the lake would be so nice to enjoy when warmer! The shower( no tub) was spacious and everything very clean. Bringing slippers was so great an idea and you do have slip ons they provide if you forget yours. Can’t wait to come back!

Our room was very nice and the king bed was extremely comfortable!

The pictures on the lakehouse website shows an updated gourmet kitchen that was not there. It was a small area against one wall and very dark.

The drive/parking lot was not maintained at all as it was covered in ice and my husband and I found it very slippery in which you must walk extreme care.

We stayed in The Bear Cave, Grand Suite or Muskoka Suite (it seems to have several names), but Grand Suite is certainly appropriate. It is absolutely beautiful with a wood burning fireplace which we enjoyed very much - though it would be good to have a heads up that patrons must bring their own wood. The kitchen is equipped with every possible appliance, dish, tool that anyone could ever want, including a bagel slicer and a wine fridge! We have never seen so many cupboards and shelves. The king size bed is very comfortable with dual aspect views of the lake. The whole suite is bright with many windows and great views. There is a deck which would be fabulous in warmer months, equipped with a barbecue. There is a gigantic tv in the living room and another in the bedroom. Everything looks and feels brand new. What a terrific place to stay just a 5 minute drive from Huntsville. We loved it!

This is a beautiful lake house with a private beach! We had the best room in the house (king bed) and it was a huge space with beautiful kitchen, comfortable bed and private deck. The views were breathtaking! The management was very accommodating and catered to any needs we had. We will definitely go back! The only improvement could be that some things were well loved and could use replacing (i.e. cushions on outdoor furniture, mattress cover had stains on it). Still highly recommend!!

This is a cute property with a lovely location on Fairy Bay just a few miles outside of Huntsville and about a 40 minute drive from the Algonquin Park. There are a few boats / paddleboards available onsite and a convenient deck for evenings by the bay. The property itself could really use some upgrades. It was fine, but with a little more attention to detail could be something special.

We wanted a last minute get away and the Fairy Lake lakehouse ticked all the boxes. It was small, quiet, on the lake with a beach, kayaks, sups and canoe at our disposal. The lake has ducks, and even a beaver was spotted from the dock. The water was lovely.
We were close to everything, tree top trekking, golf, Huntsville, hiking trails and even kawartha dairy. Our room was exceptionally clean and quite spacious. For my teenager there was wifi and a big screen tv. I would definitely return here.

Me and my family of 5 had a short visit here driving through and I wish I had had the time to stay longer. Kids had a great time kayaking and swimming on the sandy beach and it was nice there were swings and a little playground to help keep them busy as well. If we’d had more time I would have had a little fire to roast marshmallows and BBQ right on the beach. The staff were very nice and accommodating, anything we needed was no problem. I will definitely be returning soon and would highly recommend staying here solo or with family, so much to do and see.
Absolutely beautiful, thanks for having us!

The room was clean and nice and the staff was very friendly. It was difficult to find the extra parking when we got back late. The signage and the written description weren't very clear (it said it was the next driveway on the right but it isn't a one-way street so that only works if you're coming from direction they're expecting). They had sent a map as an attachment to the welcome email but I hadn't noticed that.

I stayed here a year ago and the girl at the front desk provided great customer service, room was large and soundproof. There were snacks in the room and free Netflix, Disney and Prime.

This year there was no one at the desk when I arrived shortly after check in time. My fob was left at the desk to get into my room.

I had a jetted tub instead of a shower, but the plug didn’t work, so needed to mcgiver a way to keep the plug in as no staff on site.

There were 4 rambunctious boys that spent between 6 pm and 11 pm running around, play fighting and screaming in the common area below me while their parents (owners?) were on the lower floor. I had to ask them to be quiet 5 times.

Prime was included, no Netflix, no snacks, but a couple water bottles.

Comfortable bed, clean room, spacious and cozy. Nice to have the bar fridge and microwave.

Would have been a more pleasant stay with staff available to shut down the noise.
