Why they chose this property
We chose Halls Lake and the Haliburton Highlands for its perfect blend of tranquility, adventure, and natural beauty. This serene location offers everything you’d want in a classic cottage getaway. Picture the sun rising over the treetops, mist gently lifting from the calm lake as you sip your coffee, serenaded by the call of a loon. Whether it’s a peaceful morning paddle in a kayak or casting a line off the dock in search of your biggest bass yet, this is where cherished memories are made.
Our cottage is nestled on a private laneway, surrounded by towering pines, oaks, and maples, offering scenic views and privacy. Uniquely perched close to the water, the property provides multiple seating areas for relaxation throughout the day—enjoy your morning coffee on the upper deck, unwind on the waterfront deck, lounge on the floating dock, or gather around the fire pit under the stars.
Halls Lake’s crystal-clear waters and quiet surroundings make it the perfect retreat, while its proximity to charming towns like Minden (20 minutes south) and Dorset (25 minutes north) ensures easy access to grocery stores, gas stations, and essentials. We’ve created countless memories here and hope you’ll experience the same joy, tranquility, and connection when you stay with us!
