About this property
Marvellous Horseshoe Lake
Come vacation on the tranquil shores of Horseshoe Lake. Wonderful level lot. You will find a beautiful cottage close to the lake.
South-facing: sun on the dock and beach all day! You will find a great wading area then deep swimming. No weeds or mush. Large dock with a ladder. Quiet Haliburton Highlands lake. We are often blessed hearing loons and seeing them dive for fish.
The cottage has a sunroom facing the lake and a well-equipped, spacious kitchen. Recently renovated home, very clean and fresh inside.
Google Reynolds Road, Minden for a look. We are near the three little islands.
Short ten minute drive to the town of Minden for groceries, shops and restaurants.
Friendly good neighbourhood. Roads are plowed in the winter. Level driveway for easy parking.

About the host
Hosted by Rosemary
We live in Toronto and spend much of our summers on Horseshoe Lake
Why they chose this property
It is certainly a magical spot. There are two cottages side by side on the property. Each has its own waterfront and dock. The original cottage was built a hundred years ago and fully renovated a few years back. The best spots always go first and it is beautiful here. Friendly neighbours, who are welcoming of renters. Tolerant of rambunctious families but preferring loud music to be kept inside rather than on the dock. We come and go from the city of Toronto but usually are there to welcome you. Help is always around the corner if we are not there, we have good help in the close neighbours.
What makes this property unique
Minden is a true 10 minute drive away so if you need something from town, it’s not an epic journey. There is also a small hospital for any medical needs that might arise in the centre of town. While the months of September and October can be chilly, it’s still nice to go wading in the shallow water or to enjoy the boats. The fall months are also fantastic for the peace and quiet lovers.
