Beautiful 2 bdrm cottage with fireplace and a view in Minden Hills-Pet Friendly!
Make some memories at this unique and family-friendly cottage. Sit back and relax on the oversized deck overlooking one of the nicest lakes in Haliburton! Barbeque some dinner and pour a glass of wine, while listening to the loons call. Take a kayak or canoe for a trip along the gorgeous shore. Finish the day by enjoying some delicious smores by the bonfire at the lake edge.
This is a beautiful 2 bedroom cottage complete with a fireplace for those chilly nights. There is a separate cabin that sleeps 5 people. There is also a pullout couch. This cottage is on one of the nicest lakes in Haliburton. Enjoy quiet nights by the bonfire or head to nearby Haliburton or Minden for shopping and food. Comes with wifi and 2 kayaks, a canoe and a paddle boat. There is also a private swimming area for all ages to enjoy!
Each bedroom contains a double bed and dresser. The cabin has a double bunk with a single on top with another double bed as well, and a dresser. Bathroom has a toilet, sink and tub shower. Please be respectful of water usage :)
You will have access to the entire cottage. However, the Cabin is available for groups of 5 to 8 only.

About the host
Hosted by Lindsay
Hi! I'm Lindsay! My family and I are from the beautiful Kawartha Lakes region, and grew up in Bobcaygeon, Ontario. I am so excited to offer my family cottage for you to enjoy! I have been coming here from whole life and I absolutely love it. I am married to my husband Matt and we have 3 sons. My 2 sisters and my parents also enjoy it here. I know you'll enjoy it here as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
Our cottage is located within a beautiful forest, along a quiet dirt road. There are other cottages on the road but there is plenty of privacy. Our cottage is located on a large lot, one of the largest on road and has lots of trees for privacy from the road and neighbors. The location was selected by my great-grandfather in the 1930s - one of the first lots purchased in the area! It is approximately 10 minutes drive to Minden and 15 minutes drive to Haliburton. You just can't beat the location!
What makes this property unique
This cottage has it all: Charm, cleanliness, a gorgeous view, cute kid-friendly beach, all the amenities you need, and nature galore! There is a large deck overlooking the lake. You can also enjoy a spectacular view from our bonfire pit, right along the shore line! This cottage is perfect for swimming! Jump or dive into the lake off the dock, or spend some time at the kid-friendly beach on our property (we call this area the "rock" as there is a large rock to sit on as well in the water). The lake is clean and is home to loons and ducks who venture by daily. Escape the city and take in the fresh crisp air and enjoy the day on the lake! We love the cozy and rustic feel of the cottage, and we know you will too.
