Perfect "Old School" cottage vibe with Upscale touches

Great cottage to act as a home base for adventures in the Kawartha's region. Nice quiet location , right on the water. Nearby restaurants for those that like to eat out are limited but excellent.

Cozy waterfront cottage

Small and very cozy cottage overlooking the water. The deck is nice and large that allows for some sunbathing during the early afternoon hours. Lots of baots available (canoe, kayaks, peddle). Highly recommend!

We enjoyed the quaint home. Our time outside watching the beaver, mallards, chipmunks, and so much more of God’s creation was a special delight of our stay. Having recent knee surgery caused a challenge in the tight fit between the toilet and bathtub. The cozy sofa and well equipped kitchen more than made up for it.

A lovely weekend getaway

This property is right on the lake and has everything you need for a short or long getaway. It feels secluded even with neighbours right next store. It's only 10 minutes away from the closest town and a quick drive from Toronto. The owner was very helpful and communicative. We would happily visit again!

Clean and cozy

Debra was the perfect host - very responsive and set a fire in the woodstove so the place was toasty when we arrived. Note: There are two double beds and one twin, the other twin is a foldaway. Highly recommend!

Lakeside Cottage

Delightful cottage, close to Minden, Haliburton, with many cozy areas to relax and read. Enjoyed the possibility of water fun (kayak, canoe, paddle boat, paddle board). Easy in and out of the lake for a swim. We drove to Hawk Lake Log Chute, historical logging site, which was new to us.

Morning sun dock sitting

Lovely to bring a cup of coffee early in the morning down to the chairs at the end of the dock and watch the sun eat up the mist The view from inside the cottage of the lake is so peaceful especially with a fire crackling, curled up with a book. The lovely island and open concept of the kitchen and living room was perfect for our needs. The whole atmosphere was cozy and comforting.
