Beautiful cottage with all the amenities you could need
Stayed here with family - 4 adults total. Amenities excellent and cottage spotless. Travis was very helpful and communicative. Lake very quiet later on in the season which was perfect for us. Would love to visit again.

Great experience
My family had an amazing stay at this cottage for a week this summer! The cottage was perfect and the boys loved the bunkie. The kayaks and canoe were great and the kids loved to paddle out to the island to go fishing. Kennisis Lake is beautiful and was fun to explore in the boat and on jet skis. We enjoyed going into Haliburton and visiting the Log Cabin store in West Guilford. Our host was very thorough in going over everything we’d need to know before we went and was available during our stay for any questions I had. We would highly recommend this cottage to others!

Wonderful Lakeside Retreat
We are a group of 4 friends who booked a weekend getaway by the lake. The cottage had everything we needed including a good internet and cell coverage as a couple of us needed to keep in touch with work. We enjoying kayaking, paddleboarding and swimming off the dock. The hot tub was perfect in the evenings. Our host was welcoming and easily contacted. Great time!!!

Great getaway! Property does not disappoint!
This property is beautiful. Exactly like the pictures, but much cozier in person. This cottage has a very well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and everything you will need to have a fabulous time. Extremely responsive owners who explain everything you need to know. Many stairs on this property; good exercise for all! Wouldn’t hesitate to rent again.
