About the host

Hosted by Michelle Spencer

Host profile image
We were born and raised in Mississauga, Ontario and we love nature, hiking, photography, and being outside of the city!

Why they chose this property

On June 11, 2020 our dreams came true when we became proud owners of a cottage on our own little piece of paradise on Barnum Lake in Haliburton. We are looking forward to the day we can make this our full-time home, but for now we are happy to share this wonderful place with others, whom we hope will love it as much as we do when we get to escape our home in the city. We are constantly in awe of nature here as we’ve seen deer and rabbits wander across our property daily. We see and hear many different types of birds and love to listen to the call of the loons that are usually nesting on our lake.

What makes this property unique

You never know what birds or animals you will see and hear, from the unusual sounds of the American woodcock or American bittern, to animal encounters, such as the time a deer went over to investigate a Great Blue Heron that had wandered up onto our property.
