Great cottage!

It was perfect for the size of our group and we would come again if our group was the same size. The hosts were very friendly, helpful and accommodating, answering our many questions which we appreciated. The gorgeous fall colours were also at their peak and only the rain was a drawback but that allowed us to enjoy other local outings.

Girls getaway

My daughters-in-law, sister and myself recently stayed in the Haliburton Highlands at a lovely cottage on Pine Lake. The accommodations were lovely, clean, and well appointed. The only minor draw backs were no cable/satellite for the TV (Blue Jays were playing!) and coffee maker was advertised as Kuerig and was in fact a Cuisinart pot type. The girls had brought along pods so were a bit disappointed. Easily remedied just a minor glitch! The host Mandy & family were helpful and easily available for any questions etc. Great time had by all.

Cozy cottage

It was a great experience of staying at this cozy cottage for 3 nights. The host, Mandy, was super friendly and make sure you got all you needed in order to enjoy yourself with no hassles. We got there with no problem with clear detailed instructions provided by Mandy. The kitchen had all we needed. There's one tiny comment regarding the water running a bit slow in the bathroom faucet due to up uo north in the cottage area. But this didn't bother our stay much. Overall it was a great experience. We would definitely come back and hope it won't rain again this time

It was perfect.

We had such a wonderful vacation at this lovely cottage. The cottage itself was clean and comfortable, with everything you need inside and out. The hosts were so warm and welcoming, and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. The beach and the water were particularly good for families with small kids, with lots of sandy beach and a long shallow walk-in. We are planning to return as soon as possible!

Fun and Relaxing few days at a wonderful lake property

We had a great time at this cottage. The hosts Mandy and Rich were very accommodating and super nice. Mandy and Rich had everything that any guest could ask for, you don't need to bring anything except for the very basics like food and clothes. The cottage was spotless, the kitchen had everything you needed and washroom has a large walk-in shower. The sofas were very comfortable, we spent many hours playing the board games supplied by the hosts. The wifi was also very convenient to have, and it allowed us to watch our online streaming services, very needed if it rains. That said, we were lucky to have three non-rainy days and used that time at the Sandy beach. The paddle board, kayak and paddle boat were all a blast and we took full advantage. Dysart et al is also just one hour from Algonquin Park, and we headed out there for the day which was also a lot of fun. Whether you're just looking to unwind or to have fun there is something there for everyone. Highly recommended for all.

Perfect Vacation

Our family vacation exceeded expectations. The cottage was wonderful, new, clean and came fully equipped. My family enjoyed swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking and playing in the sand. The lake was beautiful. There were many options for shopping and exploring close by. Best of all was the kindness of our hosts Mandy and Rich, which made our visit comfortable and easy.

Amazing hospitality and the cottage exceeded our expectations!

Amazing hospitality from Mandy and her husband. They met all our needs and then some, going so far as to provide a plug in for our block heater and cleaning off my car after a major snowfall! The cottage was clean and well appointed and Mandy even had baked goods waiting for us. Yum!

Best winter weekend getaway!

This newly renovated cottage was ideal for our weekend of winter fun in the Haliburton Highlands. Close to the Wolf Sanctuary and Dog sledding adventures. The surrounding towns are beautiful and have lots of cute stores to brows in. Stunning nature scenes all around. The owners Mandy and Rich are close by and the friendliest and kindest cottage owners we every experienced.
