We had an amazing thanksgiving weekend!!Everything was exactly as listed in the description. Victoria was great to communicate with and very knowledgeable and helpful of the area. The property is beautiful and very well maintained, everything was very clean. All the appliances were very modern and it was nice to be able to do some laundry instead of having to deal with it at home after a long drive.We would definitely recommend this property and Victoria and Jason were great hosts.Thank you for the experience and hopefully we will see you next time!

We had a great stay at the cottage and really enjoyed our time here. The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The check-in process was smooth, and the hosts were responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The hot tub was clean and well maintained, which we really appreciated, and the overall atmosphere made it easy to relax and unwind. We also enjoyed the outdoor space and all the amenities available during the weekend.Thanks again for a great stay. We would definitely come back!

A beautiful, relaxing stay

Victoria & Jason's place is beautiful, well appointed, and the perfect place to use as a home base for a stay in the Haliburton Highlands. It had everything we could have asked for and plenty of room for our group to share dinners, play board games, and relax. Victoria was very helpful and we felt we had all the information we needed to enjoy the stay and the area. We'd love to be back!

Charming well-appointed cottage

Our family group aged 2-72 had a delightful stay in this charming cottage in the heart of the highlands. A handy launching spot for local adventures. We found everything we needed and lots of toys and a sandbox for the little one.

Beautiful little family weekend

The place is absolutely gorgeous! We had crap weather but didn't mind since we had enough room inside to comfortably enjoy our days with space for the kids to play out of the way, ample bathrooms, lots of indoor activities (air hockey, darts, etc). The living/kitchen space is open and perfect for socializing. Our group loved the hot tub and we did a breathtaking little hike about 5 minutes away during our one non-rain window of 2 hrs! Would definitely recommend and stay here again!

Birthday Celebrations

We invited our adult children and 2 granddaughters to spend a few days to celebrate 2 birthdays. My wife's and my son's. Our group included 5 adults, 2 toddlers and 2 small dogs. The place was outstanding! Clean, comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. The hot tub was a real nice extra. Victoria was at our beckon call. Anything we needed, anything we asked was met cordially and with enthusiasm.I would highly recommend this cottage to couples and families. Easy to get to and close enough of you need supplies.

Haliburton Highlands Gravel Bicycle Getaway!Well earned 5 star review. We initially took this cottage because they allowed multiple pets, but it became so much more!There were 6 of us, and the spacious layout, private bedrooms, and natural light made for a relaxing quiet getaway in the forest. Loved it!
