Nice place to relax and make winter fun

Our family found all the right necessities and comforts during our winter weekend getaway. We loved proximity to nature and to the village and local attractions. Everyone found their cozy spot and was able to rest and recover from outdoor fun.

This cottage was perfect. The view from the lake is incredible. There was plenty of wildlife, especially Blue Jays and deer. The kayak and boat were so much fun and the lake was quiet and calm. All amenities were provided. Highly recommend it!

Wonderful, peaceful cottage and great communication from host

My husband and I came from the States to visit with Canadian friends, and this cottage was the perfect setting for our reunion. The cottage was clean and comfortable, communication with the host Michelle was top notch, and the surrounding land and lake were beautiful and peaceful. We especially enjoyed paddling out on the lake and enjoying our morning coffee in the covered gazebo while watching the ample wildlife around the house. We are so grateful we got to stay here and would definitely do so again. Thanks Michelle!

Well appointed large cottage

Our family rented the cottage for three days between Christmas and New Year’s. Cottage had a lovely Christmas tree and decorations. Lots of room for our family of 7. Grandsons loved the ping pong table. Lots of board games as well. Big, easy to use TV. Lots of dishes and cutlery for meals at the big square table that seats 8. About 5 minutes into Haliburton for groceries and LCBO. Michelle was an excellent host and responded quickly to any questions or messages.Enjoyed our stay
