Earlier in the year, Vrbo revealed the 2024 Vacation homes of the Year around the world. Seven were in Canada (including Falcon’s Nest in Muskoka) and that made us seriously fall in love with the Vrbo gems around Ontario!
What makes a Vacation Home of the Year in the eyes of the decision-makers at Vrbo include: great ratings and reviews from guests based on their stays, of course, as well as a host with a standout record of going above and beyond, special features like private pools, outdoor fire pits, indoor basketball courts, wellness rooms, and more!
We’ve rounded up some great vacation rentals around the Muskoka Lakes to book your next group stay at, some are even $100 or less per person!
