Great property for a group of people. Suki was very responsive. It’s a short drive to the town of Haliburton. Love the open concept living space.

It was a pleasure hosting Andre and his friends. They were very respectful, had no issues during their stay, and left the place clean and tidy. Thank you again, Andre! We really appreciate you choosing our cottage and hope to have you and your friends stay with us again in the future.

Beautiful place, but if swimming is your thing, the swimming is poor. Shallow and weedy, with neighbors just across the narrow river. Aside from that, it was great.

It was an absolute pleasure hosting Christina and her group at the cottage this past weekend. From start to finish, they were incredibly respectful, clean, and responsible — truly the kind of guests any host would hope for. It was an honor to share the space with such considerate people who treated the cottage like their own. For anyone considering renting the cottage in the future, I want you to know that this is more than just a getaway — it’s a place where lasting memories are made. Whether you're looking for peace and quiet or quality time with family and friends, this cottage offers the perfect environment. It's well-maintained, cozy, and thoughtfully prepared for a relaxing stay. I'm always happy to welcome guests who appreciate and respect the space, just as Christina and her family did. Looking forward to hosting more wonderful guests in the future!

The cottage was beautiful and very clean. The host responded quickly to me. Pet friendly. Steep walk way to water. Outdoor chairs were not sturdy. Cameras everywhere which made me uncomfortable. Walked the roadway to walk dogs and host contacted me to stay off other people’s property. No private property signs either. We were checking out the for sale sign and empty land that was for sale. We were never on anyone else’s property. This upset me. Otherwise a nice place to stay.

Suki is easy to get in touch with and very helpful. The space has many rooms and lots of beds. It was ideal for our party of 10. The walk to the water may be difficult for older renters. Dock is a beautiful place to sit on a hot summer day.

Communication was great and fast. Only thing was the house temperature was 10 C when we arrived. Took 6 hours to warm up to 20 C. One of my friend got a cold and we had to leave one day ahead. We booked for 2 nights but stayed for only one night

Not enough chairs for dishes and utensils for 10 people. No dressers, bedside tables or table lamps in most BR. Stove wasn't working properly so we had to turn off the breaker when not in use. The BBQ wasnt useable. Completely rusted out. A hazard! The river was shallow (4' deep ?) and very weedy. Not swimable at all. The cottage was beautiful and wouldnt take alot of work to update to meet expectations.
