Private Beach in Paradise
We had a fabulous time at this Halls Lake retreat! The cottage was very spacious, clean, comfortable and well appointed. Lots to do (kayaking, paddleboard, paddleboat), games, puzzles and a beautiful sandy shallow lagoon. We were looking forward to a campfire. Unfortunately, a fire ban was enacted, but there was lots of firewood provided. It also has the most charming outhouse I've ever seen. Yes. Read that again. Clean, bright, view of the lake... Looking forward to visiting again!

Fall Getaway
From the moment we drove up to the front door, our adventure was absolutely perfect. The peacefulness, the views, the lovely home with every amenity you could ever want. We have travelled a lot and rate this in our top 3. We would love to return in the near future. Thank you Jeff for being the perfect host. Your property is breathtaking.

Perfect in every way!
We just spent Thanksgiving at this beautiful cottage and every part of it was fantastic! From the location (equal distance to Haliburton, Dorset and Minden), to the amazing privacy and vast nature, to the gorgeous beach and large property, made for a very enjoyable time. The kids loved playing and running around outside! We loved the perk of the hot tub, and the gorgeous large windows that view the lake. Many hiking trails around not only the property but a short drive to so many (we did the log chute, Buttermilk Falls, Dorset Tower, and Big Buck Lake in Limberlost Forest (which I highly recommend). Thank you Jeff for sharing your cottage with us! We WILL be back!

A great place to get away.
This is a beautiful and well thought out property. It has a wonderful amount of amenities and nice little touches that add to the experience. It was great to wake up and drink coffee/tea on the dock, then spend time on an incredibly calm lake, and finish up watching the sunset given the western exposure. I had a great time and the owner was incredibly helpful and understanding. There was no one coming in on the day we left, so he let us spend a few extra hours enjoying the place. I would highly recommend a stay here.

Everything You Imagine!
Over all what a great experience. Perfect for all the family. From the moment we drove into the driveway you could tell that the adventure just begun. The cottage was more of a home. Tons of room for a large family or a get together. Very clean and the well kept. So much to do. Beautiful beach and great trailers all around. Jeff is a great host with fast responses. Great for all ages. If you are looking for a great place to stay for you and your family or friends there’s no need to look any further. We are already planning a trip back for next year. Above and beyond expectations. 5 out of 5
