This lovely place was clean, well appointed, and true to its name - cozy. Asif looped back quickly with any questions we had. We would definitely stay again. Many thanks Asif!
This is a great place to stay while 'away' and we were very lucky to have found this place at a relatively last minute for an unexpected trip to Haliburton area. We used most of the amenities offered (hot tub, games room, campfire pit in the middle of the woods) but we didn't get a chance to try the kayaks provided - next time! The host Asif was very responsive and regularly checked in with us to make sure everything was good. If I'm in the Haliburton area again, I will be checking again to see if this place is available.
This house was prefect for our 9 person group! Updated bathrooms and modern decor made for a comfortable stay. Lots to explore in the near by towns with lots of options to have fun on the water. We enjoyed all the entertainment options at the house (hot tub, fire pit, pool table, pin ping table, video game console, games, karaoke machine!) Recommendation: bring your own beach towels and bug spray if visiting in Summer! Would love to stay again if the opportunity presents itself.
The beds were very comfortable. Great kitchen with good amenities. Excellent bathrooms and hot tub was great!

Thanks John for staying at our place. Your kind gesture means a lot. Hope you will consider us in future and recommend to friends/family :)
To start, the owner was wonderful to interact with. They were very quick to respond as well as accomodating for our needs around young children. The space, although beautiful, looked larger in the pictures so our stay felts mildly tight although we were a larger group of 6 adults and 3 young children. Additionally the chemical smell from the Hot tub was strong in the closed off extension. I assume the water was safe and well treated although the closed off space made it difficult to enjoy. The kitchen were both great and left us wanting more. There were multiple appliances for us to use which were in great condition but we only had access to a single "chef's knife" which made cooking slightly challenging. The entertainment in the home was above average compared to other locations. The TVs, game consoles, pool table and ping pong table were all in perfect condition and easy to use. Overall a very nice place with lots to do and enjoy. Probably better suited for groups without small children.
We had a great stay! The beds were super comfy and everything was so clean. It was very close to HSAD which was handy for us. The host was very responsive and has really thought about how to make their place special. Loved the hot tub after a full day. I would not hesitate to book it again.
