About this property

A Family Retreat In The North - Wilberforce

Are you thinking that you might a retreat and would enjoy a quiet week at a lovely cottage? Well we might have an option for you to consider. Our cottage is very special to us and we want to share it. It will be available for selected weeks throughout the year. It is located on a small lake in Haliburton. We share the lake with only 25 other cottages and are fortunate to be at the end, next to crown land. Other than the 26 lots on the lake, we are surrounded by crown land and beautiful walking trails.
The cottage has five bedrooms and three fire places. It is filled with family treasures, ( at least to us ) . The lake is ideal for swimming and canoeing. The cottage is quite secluded and very private. It is spacious enjoy for a family to spread out and find their own private space to relax, read, watch a movie. The cottage has five bedrooms, three washrooms and three fireplaces. We are interested in renting to families or individuals who what a relaxing place to retreat to. We are not interested in renting to large groups . Our neighbours enjoy their privacy and quiet surroundings and we do and expect the same.

The cottage has a fully equipped kitchen. There is a washer and dryer available but we ask that you use it minimally. The cottage is filled with games and books to be enjoyed. It will remind you of a home that has many memories for the children that have spent their childhood there.
There is a dock for your enjoyment and safe swimming for young children. With a south west exposure, you will enjoy the afternoon sun on the dock, with not another cottage in site. There are lots of things to see and experience in the surrounding Area. The cottage is situated half way between the town of Haliburton, where you can enjoy the Haliburton School of Fine Arts and Bancroft. Algonquin Park is a short drive away.

An amazing cozy cottage to create so many great memories

This cottage is so cozy with lots of room. The owner David was a pleasure to deal with and very helpful if when we reached out. When you want that real cottage feel og a log cabin with multiple real wood fireplaces - this is the place. The fireplace in the living room is massive and a stunning center piece for the family to gather. We played games, watched movies and sat around laughing and telling stories mostly un this room. It was a nice vaulted ceiling and very open with room in the seating area right next to the living room. It was also amazing having a real wood fire going in the dining room during brunch and dinner. We ALL slept really really well at night in the bed as well (don't forget your own sheets though). The back deck is a great size for gathering as well. We enjoyed playing a corn hole game out there. We loved this cottage for our Mom's 70th birthday weekend and we will certainly be returning!

A wonderful family getaway!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Barnes family cottage. They cottage itself had a perfect layout for hosting multiple families as their were different quiet spaces for sleeping. The lake was so quiet and still and having no other cottages across the water from you makes you feel like you’re in your own little slice of paradise. The cottage was clean when we arrived and David was quick to reply to any questions we had. What a gem of a space, we hope to be back next year.
