About Lauren Helmkay
We love Lake Simcoe and being in the lake, and we love learning more about our travelling friends. Our home is known to be open as well to our guests, but we also respect the privacy of those who are looking to just 'get away' :)
Lauren Helmkay purchased this house in 2012
Why Lauren Helmkay chose Lake Simcoe
This home is a real 'retreat'; you'll find space to make your own, and common areas to enjoy company. The lake is the draw of this house, whether for summer swimming, or winter ice fishing. The house has a large back yard as well where you might find a badmitton net set up, or a fire burning in the fire pit.
What makes this house unique
An hour north of Toronto, this is cottage country without the commute in the long traffic north. The house itself offers spaciousness, cathedral ceilings, and an elegance that makes you feel you've landed somewhere really special.

Reviews
Exceptional!
5/5 -
(41 traveler reviews)
Far and away one of the nicest homes we have encountered through the VRBO experience!!
Lauren is truly the Hostess with the Mostest! Not only an amazing home, but decorated beyond the imagine of Pottery Barn's best minds! Everything is in place for you to walk right in and start living your vacation, right down to fresh coffee and salt and pepper! A truly enjoyable experience for everyone in our party. Lauren and RJ could not have been more gracious hosts. Enjoy your stay on Simcoe!!
Family get together
We really enjoyed the house. The accommodations were exactly what we were looking for. The pictures in the gallery cannot do the actual house justice. Very nice. The house has everything you could want down to numerous pantry items, shampoo, laundry soap... the list is endless. They even decorated for the July 1st 150 year celebrations and put up an American flag for the 4th knowing some family were from the USA. Highly recommend to family, friends and anyone look for a great place to get away.
Amazing home with amazing host
Lauren and the place are absolutely fantastic and was very responsive whenever we had any questions. We definitely loved the place and would recommend it to anyone!
Amazing Place
The owner is very nice and helpful.
The place is beautiful and fully equipped with all your wants and needs.
Great place to go and relax at
Great home, location and time spent!
This was our second time here at this wonderful home and it was the same as last time...amazing. The place is abundantly stocked with supplies, kitchen utensils and sheets and we felt extremely accommodated throughout the trip. The place itself is beautiful and very spacious (pictures can only capture half the beauty of it). We had the luxury of having decent weather during the weekend and were able to capture some amazing photos of the sunset along the water.
Lauren was a joy to coordinate with and by far the best owner I have ever encountered when booking cottages/getaways.
The place is reasonably priced and she even gave us an extra night on the house (no pun intended)! We'll definitely be back and hope to make it a tradition. Thank you Lauren!
A perfect home away from home!
Our family travelled from Seattle to spend Canadian Thanksgiving back home. Lauren your home is the cleanest of any place I have ever rented. I didn't want to leave, it was so cozy! We did a lot of cooking for my mom (so she could have some prepared dinners). Your kitchen had everything we needed and more. The rooms are all decorated so beautifully! I remember arriving late at night; all the lights were on, it looked so beautiful and welcoming as we drove up the driveway! I have mentioned your home on Facebook to all of my local friends. Thank you for a wonderful stay. I would come back in a heartbeat! Trish, Brian and Family
