peaceful, beautiful location

Enjoyed a wonderfully quiet stay at my cousin's cottage. Everything was spotless and tidy. Loved seeing the old photos and memorabilia on the walls. Especially loved the various spots to sit and read, either on the dock or up under the pines. The location of this cottage is unparalleled with beautiful views. The canoe is a bit tricky to get out but once in the water was fun to paddle around in and explore the shoreline. Thank you, Joan!

Traditional Cottage At It’s Best

This property exceeded our expectations. Simple and rustic yet it has everything you need for a trip away from the busyness of life. Our hosts were amazing. There is so much to do in the area, including hiking, fishing, canoeing on the beautiful lake, or simply relaxing to read a book or enjoy the sunset. The cottage is unique - a real treasure. Thank you Joan!

Excellent classic summer cottage in a shady grove

Beautifully-kept summer cottage ! Classic, cosy, comfortable west-facing forest grove on a quiet lake. Sunny dock and small bluff at the water’s edge. Tranquil setting, dog-friendly, great place to read & write. Handy to Haliburton village.

Beautiful cottage!

Well i was looking for somewhere to go just to relax and enjoy nature. This was the perfect place to unwind. Beautiful old style cottage with a view of the lake from every window. Great dock to swim or fish from. Best of all i Didn't have to leash my dog for its a large lot that gives you plenty of privacy, so he had.a great time too!

Property has been in my family since the 1920's. So many people have come and gone. So much change. This cottage has truly been a haven to many through the years and very dear to my heart.
