A great place for kids

The property was great - lots of room for the two little ones to run around, and play in the shallow lake water at the private beach. The cottage was comfortable, clean and welcoming. It was nice to meet the owners, who familiarized us about the place. Overall a great place for a summer break.

Oasis by the lake

Well, we were looking to relax but also to have fun. The Minden Hills cottage has it all! Kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing, peddle boat, row boat... and let's not forget horseshoes! The cottage is very well equipped, clean and so well maintained. Because it's fenced in, our dog had a blast too with his new-found freedom... with plenty of chipmunks, red squirrels and frogs to chase. The owners are super friendly and were there to greet us and explain all the ins and outs of the cottage which was very welcoming and helpful. We all loved it! Thanks Elaine and Colin!

Wonderful Vacation Home at Brady Lake

Our family of six adults just vacationed at this Brady Lake cottage for six nights. It is exactly as listed. The experience certainly exceeded our expectations. The property owners met us upon arrival and gave us a tour. The cottage is fully equipped both inside and out. We particularly enjoyed all of the watercraft. Fishing was great too. The water is clear and warm. There is lots of provided firewood. There were enough life vests and water shoes for all of us. There are a lot of games and sporting equipment. We played horseshoes for the first time. We also loved birdwatching- woodpeckers, kingfisher and loons. It was a perfect week. Thank you to the owners for making us feel so welcome.

Great time at Brady Lake

We just got home from a 6 day vacation at this beautiful cottage. The property is HUGE and well maintained with an amazing fenced yard. Our kids loved it and our 2 dogs LOVED it even more!!! It was perfect for our 2 dogs to run around off leash and for the kids to play all kinds of sports like badminton, frisbee and catch. My husband wishes he had brought his pitching wedge 😄🏌️‍♂️ The owners met us at check in and we’re very helpful in showing us around the cottage and the property. We could tell from the moment we met them that they were dog lovers and that the cottage was pet friendly and stress free. They were also very responsive to questions we had while we were there. The lake has clear water (very few weeds) and there is a sandy beach beside the dock. The kids had fun fishing and jumping off the swim dock. We rented a sea doo from Kawartha Adventures for a few days.. There is an easy to access boat launch close by where they launched it in the water for us. The owners were very upfront and communicated well about the amenities with there being no dishwasher or washing machine and no wifi. Cell service was a bit better than I expected from their description. Overall we had a wonderful holiday and would definitely go back. Tracy
