About this property

Sandy Beach! Two Cottages! Waterfront, Sun All Day

You will find two cottages side by side, both facing Horseshoe Lake both have a private dock, 20 x 12’. Each cottage has a full kitchen, a large bathroom, a bright living room and dining room. One cottage is a 2 bedroom with a sunroom, newly renovated, 1,000 sq feet. It has a large bedroom (queen + single) and a small bedroom (a single) all on the main floor. The other cottage has three bedrooms (queen, queen and a double) and is 900 sq feet. It is a bungalow, pine lined and a high ceiling.

South-facing: You will have sun on the dock and the beach all day! You will find a beautiful beach, great wading area then deep swimming, no weeds or mush. Good privacy on the dock, neighbours are far away. Quiet lake, Haliburton Forest and lovely loons calling! Boats: enjoy the lake on the kayak, canoe, stand up paddle board or paddle boat. Kids boats: stand up paddle board and 2 kayaks. Good fishing right off the dock.

Google Reynolds Road, Minden for a look. We are near the three little islands on the north end of the lake.
Short ten minute drive to the town of Minden for groceries, shops, churches and restaurants (12 km drive). There is a dirt road, Reynolds Road, between the cottages and the lake. At the lake you will have your private dock, beach, and picnic area. 230 feet of shoreline for you to investigate or wade along in the shallow waters.

Friendly neighbourhood. Level driveway for easy parking. You can walk along the lake or hike the rapids on the end of Horseshoe Lake. Good golfing at nearby Blairhampton Golf Course or Gull River Golf Course.

Come and stay on pristine Horseshoe Lake for a wonderful vacation!
