Perfect NYE Getaway

We were a group of 7 adults spending a few days over NYE. The place was very clean and the layout of the cottage was ideal. Large living/dining with the very bedrooms separate from the communal area. The winterized bunkie was perfect and great for additional privacy. We’d love to come back again in the winter and summer!

We all really enjoyed the cottage on Drag lake. Easy to find . Close to town . Sondra was always quick to respond for questions. Everything we needed for cooking and BBQ and the hot tub and Netflix's was a nice bonus . Thanks for the lovely week. The Ricks

Peaceful

Loved the location and the check in process was easy. Bed coverings did not appear clean although owner had told us to bring our own and I'm happy we did. Did not appear to have been cleaned since last rented. Would have preferred to not see any coverings on the beds. Rest of home was as advertised.

So sorry you didn’t think they were clean. They are actually brand new this year and get cleaned regularly. I guarantee you they were cleaner than you seem to think

The cottage was perfectly listed. What you see is what you get. It was so beautiful. Would recommend

The property was absolutely beautiful. I had taken some amazing photos of a lake in the early morning with the fog still lingering in the scenery. The lake front was stunning with all the Fall colors. The dock was big enough for all of us to sit out and enjoy the view. The lake waters were low so we couldn't do any boating, but we didn't mind at all. The cottage was perfect with ample parking. I would definately recommend.

perfect location

Couldn't be happier with our stay... location is perfect. Just outside of town. The waterfront and dock are epic and perfect for suntanning, swimming, or just watching the water. Great firepit, nice property, good privacy. The house is a cottage with a 'cottage' vibe - exactly what you want for a summer getaway. We BBQ'd every day. Thanks so much - we had a wonderful time.

Wonderful birthday weekend!

Loved, loved, loved our time at your cottage - had great dinners together easily prepared in the kitchen, went into the very close and convenient town for breakfasts at the Kozy Korner, and had a lovely, relaxing reading time in the sun on the deck on Saturday afternoon - just what we all needed! Thank you!

Bunk bed is not for adults. Acces is almost impossible. As guests, we were made to drive 10min to a dump site to throw away the garbade althought the property had locked bin outside. Guests shouldn't have to do it. I find it disgusting to take the garbage in your car and drive for 10min. Property was ok. A bit old. Views were awesome.

Clean, beautiful location and wonderful host.

The property was exactly as stated. The host was professional, kind, prompt and was available when needed. Unfortunately one of our guests had done minor damage to the wall. The host and I were able to deal with the issue cordially and promptly without any conflict. I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone who wishes to have a peaceful weekend away surrounded by nature. The hot tub was a bonus and having access to a fire pit and boat makes this an above average retreat location!

Perfect Fall Getaway!

Due to increased lockdown restrictions in April, we had to re-schedule our original booking for the fall. Sondra was more than happy to approve the re-scheduling request and couldn’t have made it any easier. This cottage was a perfect spot for a fall getaway from the city for myself, my husband, friends and our senior dog. We used the jacuzzi and indoor fireplace every evening, and the space was perfect for just reading, doing puzzles, playing boardgames and just hanging out and enjoying each other’s company! The beds were comfy and there was enough privacy for two couples! We sat on the dock and enjoyed the view of fall colours and still waters. The kitchen has everything we needed to make all our meals - don’t forget to check the front closet for more things; we forgot to do that on our first night! Downtown Haliburton is a quick drive away for all essentials. We would love to come back in the summer as well as again next fall!

Wonderful vacation at a beautiful cottage

The cottage came as advertised. Lots of staples such as salt and pepper, sugar etc. There would be no reason that a full meal could not be prepared...cutlery, knives, etc. A huge bbq is there for outdoor cooking. The hot tub was great. Overall a fabulous experience for us.

Amazing Cottage!

Our family of 5 had a wonderful time at the cottage. Sondra was a great host, helpful and responding quickly to any questions we had. The cottage was very clean and comfortable, cozy but spacious, with a well-stocked kitchen. Outdoors we enjoyed the beautiful backyard with a firepit, hot tub, BBQ, and spacious dock. We rented a boat which was delivered to a boat launch just a few docks down from us, all very hassle free. We didn't use the bunkie, but it would be a great way to have another family there with you, or for anyone who needs their own space. Thanks Sondra, for sharing your place. We had a wonderful time and made precious memories!

Amazing Vacation Experience!

The cottage and guest house are amazing! The rental was very well stocked and outfitted with everything you would need. It is very roomy with a lot of space to relax playing cards, watch a movie or have dinner indoors. It was clean when we arrived and we all felt very comfortable with the cleaning protocols in place. The property is beautiful and flat which is rare for some lake properties. It has a separate beach and huge fire pit area as well as a really large dock where you can sit and listen to the sounds of the lake. We rented a boat and it was delivered to the boat launch that is just a 3 minute walk from the cottage. The Lake is simply stunning. We have stayed at many lake locations and we all agreed that Drag Lake is the most beautiful. Everywhere you look you see green hills and calm water. It does not feel crowded as many cottages are hidden from view and was super quiet. It was small enough to feel cozy but large enough to spend the day with the kids on the tube having a blast behind the boat. The Location is also great. It is a quick 10 minute drive to Haliburton so we were able to go into town for supplies, eat dinner out, grab an ice cream and tour the local sites. The Host was fantastic. Sondra was so responsive and accommodating and this made our stay problem free. Overall I would give this cottage higher than a 5 if I could. Thank you.

Great stay

The first step in felt like coming home. The property is beautiful and the morning loon calls are magical. The cottage was well stocked and the perfect blend of modern and rustic. Very comfortable and relaxing. The location is close to amenities while still being quiet and secluded. If you’re lucky, deer will greet you on your drive in. Highly recommend this property.

Accomodation was as expected and listed

Property owner communicated info in a timely manner and responded to questions immediately. Property was excellent with all amenities available that we were looking for - access to lake, hot tub, BBQ, outdoor fire pit, wood stove inside and all accommodations were excellent. My family and I had a great time snowmobiling on lake and around area trails with night time around the fire pit while we stayed at this location. I would recommend this property to anyone.
