No reservation is imposed by the platform.

  • When you accept a booking, you will be paid on the day of arrival by bank transfer.

  • If you refuse, the customer is automatically refunded, with no hidden charges. However, when you refuse a booking, your ad will no longer appear as a priority for several days.

All lakes and riverbanks are available for rental, but they don't all cater for the same clientele.

We have identified three types of water body, corresponding to different customer profiles.

Sport fishing pond

A perfect balance between comfort and nature, ideal for vacationers, outdoor enthusiasts, backpackers and fishermen.

A true angler's paradise: an unspoilt pond, never fished, home to some very fine trophy fish.

Feedback from our hosts

Rent a Lake has allowed me to generate an income to maintain my property, the pond is self-financing and that's perfect for me.

Any questions?

As the landlord, you can decide whether the tenant has access to the entire property.

All payments go through our platform, and are verified by Stripe (the world leader in internet payments). After each booking, you receive your earnings directly into your bank account (minus the 10% commission we charge to keep the store running).

Rates are set by the pond owner. If you're just starting out, our team is here to help and advise you. Your renters can come alone, in pairs, threes, fours or groups: you define the maximum number of people allowed. At Rent a Lake, when there is no accommodation on site, rentals are made in 24-hour blocks. If there is accommodation, you can modulate the length of time you're on site, for example, arriving at 3pm and leaving at 11am. Arrival and departure times are freely defined by you.

When you create an ad on Rent a lake, you define your availability, your rates, and your reception rules. Once your ad is online, interested tenants can contact you directly via the platform. You are free to respond or not, and to pursue the exchange at your own pace. When an exchange is successful, the tenant can send you a reservation request. You then have the option of accepting or refusing it, without penalty. If you accept, your telephone number and postal address will be forwarded to him/her to facilitate organization. On the day of booking, you welcome the tenants, briefly introducing them to your premises and the house rules. They then enjoy the space for a few hours. Your income is paid directly into your bank account within 3 days of booking.

Yes, independent arrival is possible if you're not available on the day. In this case, it's essential to inform your guests in advance: share arrival instructions, the rules for using your lake, and practical information on how to access the site. We recommend that you call them the day before or the morning of the reservation to explain everything clearly over the phone. This ensures a smooth arrival and a pleasant experience for everyone.

Yes, you can rent out your pond all year round, as long as you don't fish in it. If you wish to authorize fishing, it is important to know the status of your pond: If your pond is in enclosed water (totally isolated, with no natural communication with a watercourse), fishing is authorized all year round. If your pond is in open water (fed by a watercourse), you'll need to comply with the regulations in force for that watercourse, notably the opening and closing periods for fishing. In any case, make sure you're well informed about the status of your pond, so you can rent with peace of mind.

The acceptance of animals is left to the discretion of the pond owner. Each owner is free to decide whether or not to allow animals on the site.
