Family-Friendly 2BR • Near Lake & Downtown

Choose The Rascally Rabbit as your cozy Cobourg home base to unwind and feel right at home. You’ll settle in the moment you walk through the door. Guests love the peaceful vibe, comfy queen beds, private patio, & thoughtful extras—like the electric fireplace, vinyl records, and fully stocked kitchen. Whether you're cooking dinner with the fam, streaming a movie after a beach day, or sipping coffee on the patio, this is the kind of place where the pace slows, and the simple moments feel special.

We live upstairs with our three (very friendly) older dogs, but the suite is completely private. You won’t be disturbed—but if you have questions or need anything, we’re just a message away and happy to help.

Nestled in the heart of Cobourg, The Rascally Rabbit is perfectly located for you to enjoy the best this vibrant lakeside town has to offer. Just minutes from Cobourg Beach, you can soak up the sun, stroll along the picturesque waterfront, or catch stunning sunsets over Lake Ontario.

The charming downtown core is a short walk or drive away, filled with local boutiques, cozy cafes, and delicious restaurants offering everything from farm-to-table fare to classic comfort food. Don’t miss the Cobourg Farmers' Market (seasonal) for fresh local produce and artisanal goods.

We like to keep things clear and upfront so you can feel 100% confident about what to expect. Here are a few helpful things to know before your stay:

Privacy & Layout: This is a basement apartment located in a family home. The units are completely private and locked off from one another.

Temperature Tips: The unit has central heating and A/C, but being a basement, it can run a bit cooler in winter. There are space heaters in each bedroom and a cozy fireplace in the living room. Let us know if you'd like to adjust the temperature—we’re happy to help.

Parking: You’ll have space for up to three vehicles. Please park on the left side of the driveway and avoid driving up to the shed, as it narrows.

Guest Verification: To protect our home and stay aligned with short-term rental regulations, we use an independent verification process for all guests. Please note: If you are booking outside of Airbnb, before your booking begins, you will need to verify your details with us to complete your reservation. You will be contacted via email and/or text to complete the verification. You will also be given the choice between paying a refundable deposit or buying a non-refundable damage waiver. 

Cleaning & Safety: Your health and comfort matter to us. That’s why we follow a detailed cleaning and sanitization process after every guest checkout. Everything’s fresh and spotless when you arrive.
