Best cottage I've stayed at!

This cottage is stunning, and the property is very well maintained! The cottage itself is so well stocked, and they have clear instructions for everything so you're never in doubt about anything. Dianne and her property manager were always super responsive throughout the booking process and when we were at the cottage. Highly recommend this space for a larger group. I would absolutely try to book this place again for future trips! Thank you so much Dianne for being such an excellent host!

Amazing property!!

We absolutely loved staying at Diane’s place. Not only was it super spacious, but the space was clean, and filled with everything we needed (kitchen utensils, extra blankets, etc). The lake was incredible, the hot tub was working well and was easy to use. The seating situation was great with multiple chairs on every level. The deck was huge and had sun exposure, pulse umbrella for shade. We talked all weekend about going back next summer and we probably will try to book the place again. Diane was super communicative and speedy with her responses. Amazing host, beautiful property, and an all around incredible experience!

We had a great time in Dianne cottage

We had a great time in Dianne cottage. Thank you very much for letting us be your guests. Hot tub was a wonderful feature which compensated bad weather condition which affected cross-country ski trails. I definitely recommend the cottage for everyone who is looking for serenity and magical winter escape. Regards Emma D (Toronto)

Quiet, relaxing, solitude

The cottage was clean and well laid out with everything you needed. The property and waterfront is beautiful, in a quiet area of the lake. The fire pit, hot tub, deck and dock chairs made it easy to enjoy the outdoors, and the seating, windows, and fireplace made the inside nice and cozy.

Olivia - December 2018

What a lovely place to get away and spend time with family. The cottage has a very practical layout for families to get together and hang out. The views are gorgeous and was a perfect winter wonderland for our family Christmas holiday. Definitely recommend a 4x4 incase of heavy snow falls and keep an eye on black ice warnings for the area... Dianne was super helpful and very quick to respond to any messages. You will certainly not be disappointed if you chose this for your holiday!

We had a lot of fun in Dianne's cottage. Kids caught a lot of fish and they loved it. It is a clan and spacious cottage and for three families it was a lot of space. The lake water is clear and full of fish. We caught a few perch which shows what a clean and nice lake it is.

For 8 years and still going, we have had an annual trip cottage trip. We have stayed at many cottages in Haliburton and this is the best cottage that we have stayed at by far. Beautiful location, amenities which included a hot tub. Loved and enjoyed our stay here.

Dianne's place is absolutely gorgeous. The lake is even more beautiful and clear in person! Unfortunately, it rained one day during our stay however, the hot tub was a great bonus for that day! Not only was the location prime, but the house was spotless and very private. Additionally, Dianne was a very accommodating host and was quick to answer any questions we had. My friends and I will definitely be coming back!

Tara - September 2018

This is such a beautiful home. It appears just as described on the website. Check in was easy and the place was easy to find. The kitchen has full amenities especially for someone who loves to cook. I was only there with one other person which was wonderful but it is such a large home it is a great choice for a big group. I chose this cottage for a few reasons, it was in a quiet and secluded spot, on the water, full kitchen, bbq, clean and modern looking as well as it was one of the few with a hot tub. Highly recommended rental.

About the host

Hosted by Dianne

Host profile image
My husband and I have 3 daughters and this is our family cottage - we love to share our special part of Haliburton with others who will take care of it as their own home!

Why they chose this property

I grew up spending all my summers at a cottage on a nearby lake- I love the incredibly clean, clear water, and Haliburton is a wonderful village :-)

What makes this property unique

The cottage is in a fantastic location- our side of the lake was only developed 25 years ago and it’s very natural, with nothing between us and the Algonquin. It’s also wonderful that there are neighbours on only 1 side and that the other side is all natural :-)
