About this property

Come vacation on the tranquil shore of Horseshoe Lake. Wonderful level lot. You will find a three bedroom cottage and a sweet one-room cabin which is only a few feet away from the water.

South-facing: sun on the dock and beach all day. You will find a great wading area then deep swimming. No weeds or mush. Large new dock with a ladder. Dive in and swim out to our raft. Quiet, beautiful Haliburton Highlands lake. 200 feet of shoreline to enjoy, the aerial picture shows the waterfront, yours to investigate.

Fire pit beside the water
Good barbeque lots of gas
Picnic area with tables and chairs

A kayak, canoe and a paddle boat
Kids’ kayaks, row boat and SUP
Also a tin boat

The cottage has lots of windows and a well-equipped, spacious kitchen. High ceiling over the living room and dining area.

The little cabin has a king bed, a kitchenette and a bathroom with a small shower. It's only a few feet away from the water.

Crisp cotten sheets on all the beds.

We keep it very clean, organized and in good repair. This is our fifth year of hosting.

Wifi and good cell reception

There is a dirt road between the cottage and the lake (the cabin is beside the lake you don’t cross the road). Google Reynolds Road, Minden for a look. We are near the three islands.

Nice ten minute drive to the town of Minden for groceries, shops and restaurants.

Friendly neighbourhood. We own the cottage next door to you. We have our own dock and it’s around a bend from yours. You will have the beach and your own private dock. Your other neighbour is 200 feet away, no other docks close to yours.

We respect your privacy but also we are usually there to tend to any issues. Thank you for finding us!

Wonderful lake spot nestled among ancient pines

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottages (2) are clean and accommodating for a few people or many, and there is a sandy beach, very clean lake water, access to boats, a fire pit, and a great view. Our hostess was just lovely. We’ll definitely go back.

Great location and property

The cottage and lakeside cottage package was perfect for us. Both cottage were spotless and had pretty much eveything you need. Spectacular view of the lake and absolutely great for swimming and water activites. The big plus for us is that they allow dogs. As the description mentions, there is a small dirt road between the cottage and water but it was not a factor at all for us. Pretty much just people that live around the lake are driving on the road and they drive slowly and cautiously when they see people. Rosemary and her family are amazing to deal with, such a nice and caring family. They do live next door, which to us is a plus for us since if there is anything we need they take care of it right away. We can't wait to plan our week at this cottage again next summer.

Great family cottage

The grandkids loved the sandy shallow water entry. There is a great grassy play area. The only downside is the road between the cottage and the lake. It isn't a busy road but you to have to watch the kids. The cottage itself is older but completely fine. The living area is large with plenty of seating and a large dining table. The kitchen is well equipped with all the pots, bowls, knives, etc. that you will need. The one bed cabin is surprisingly large and it is right on the water. Large windows give you a great view of the lake and islands. Marshal and Rosemary are the best hosts you will find. Although they live right next door they are never intrusive. They are very helpful if you have a question or a request and they anticipate what you might need. In our case that was blocks and puzzles for the kids on a rainy day. It was greatly appreciated. For us this property checked all the boxes. Thanks for everything!

About the host

Hosted by Rosemary

We live in Toronto and spend much of our summers on Horseshoe Lake

Why they chose this property

It is certainly a magical spot. The original cottage was built a hundred years ago and fully renovated a few years back. The best spots always go first and it is beautiful here. Friendly neighbours, who are welcoming of renters. Tolerant of rambunctious families but preferring loud music to be kept inside rather than on the dock. We come and go from the city of Toronto but usually are there to welcome you. Help is always around the corner if we are not there, we have good help in the close neighbours.

What makes this property unique

Minden is a true 10 minute drive away so if you need something from town, it’s not an epic journey. There is also a small hospital for any medical needs that might arise in the centre of town. While the months of September and October can be chilly, it’s still nice to go wading in the shallow water or to enjoy the boats. The fall months are also fantastic for the peace and quiet lovers.
