About this property

Spacious, waterfront home surrounded by trees with large dock & games room.

Accommodate up to three families at this conveniently located waterfront home on a 5-chain lake. All the cottage feels while still being super close to grocery, LCBO and drug stores and restaurants. Water is deep off the dock and there's a shallow entry for little ones. Air hockey, darts, retro arcade game console, cornhole, crokinole and lots of board games and puzzles.

Mid-Morning to evening sun off the dock provides day long warmth and spectacular sunsets. Lots of shaded area to relax. The kayaks, two paddle boards and a lily pad will keep kids entertained for hours. (And two TV rooms plus additional bar/living room area when everyone is tired).

Local trails for hiking, ATV, skiiing or snowmobiling.

The home is surrounded by old, tall trees, so there's complete privacy. Spectacular views can be enjoyed from the dock, deck or any of the 3 windowed living rooms.

Plenty of parking.

Great Cottage Family Fun

Great experience from the moment we checked in. Comfortable, cute and cozy cottage that had everything you need. The dock had plenty of space and a shady area as well incase you needed a break from the sun. Nice clean lake with lots of toys to use. We enjoyed the fire pit for a late night gathering. Overall great place and would definitely book again. Also, the host Sheri, very quick to respond with any questions that I had….wonderful host.

Perfect cottage getaway

I've rented many many cottages over the years, and this may be my fave. The cottage had a ton of charm and character and was very well appointed. Great kitchen if you like to cook. And the sun room was cozy with a stunning view of the lake through the trees. There were 11 of us aged 16 through 60 and there was lots of space to accommodate all of us. We will definitely be back!

Haliburton Stay

This is an amazing place to stay, we had a lovely and very relaxing time. You really have thought of everything for renters to enjoy their stay. It was so well equipped and maintained. The hosts were very responsive and always answered any questions we had. The views from the cottage were spectacular this time of year, I can only imagine how beautiful they would be during the Fall and Winter months. We will definitely be returning! Thanks for a fantastic escape from reality! It was just what we all needed!

Absolutely perfect

This property is absolutely perfect. The photos online do not do it justice. One only needs to pack a bag and bring groceries, everything is provided for and more. The water is great for swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding. Beautiful fires by night, daytime on the patio. I can’t say enough. Our hosts are really easy to stay in contact with and are so accommodating. I have already made plans to come again, soon! Thank you again!!!!!

Beautiful cottage in the most beautiful cottage country!

Just got back from our family of 8 vacation. Every one of us had the time of our life! This cottage has everything you will need. You are right on the lake, and the most perfect spot, as boaters are prohibited from speeding through this part of the lake, making it safe for swimming and paddleboarding. The cottage is immaculate! The town is just a 7 minute drive for essentials and some fabulous restaurants/pubs. Sheri, the host was always accessible if I had any questions. Basically, I can't say enough about this cottage. I definitely intend on going back!
