The cottage was clean and spacious. Each bedroom was quite large with comfortable beds. The pillows were a little flat, but no big deal. The kitchen was very well stocked. It had everything we needed! Lots of deck space to enjoy and the fire pit area was wonderful. I would not say that the water is accessible from the cottage for most people. We were a group of 5 adults ranging in age from 25-82 and none of us felt comfortable using the path down to the water. This is described in the listing and the host did explain about access to the water when we asked about it, though. However it is a very short drive to the water with a great dock as well as access to canoes which we enjoyed! I will say it was a bit of a hassle driving 20 minutes to the Haliburton dump to dispose of our garbage and recycling which we had to sort. We had one vehicle for 5 adults so it meant a separate trip to the landfill before packing up the car for the trip home. All in all, a beautiful and comfortable cottage with all the amenities and a responsive and helpful host!

The stone stairs going to the fire pit could be reworked. Other than that we were all very happy with the stay. I would come out and stay again.

Cute cabin, kitchen had everything we needed as well.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2026
Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Check-in was easy, and the property is very dog friendly, which we really appreciated. However, there were several maintenance issues and listing discrepancies that should be addressed or disclosed. The microwave is very glitchy and beeps constantly, the second-floor screen door is falling apart, several light fixtures are missing covers, the broom is taped together, the barbecue cleaning brush was completely worn out and unusable, there is duct tape on parts of the floor, and the bedding was just a duvet with no cover. There is also a significant temperature difference between the upstairs and downstairs. The sliding doors do not lock and instead rely on a wooden dowel, which didn't feel very secure. When we went to run the dishwasher before leaving, there were no pods provided. The host apologized, but when I asked if there were backups on the property, I never received a response. Guests should also know they are required to take garbage to the dump and pay a fee, which wasn't mentioned in the listing. The biggest discrepancy was the walk to the waterfront. It is much steeper and longer than expected, with makeshift stairs and poison ivy along the route. We drove down each day, which worked well. The waterfront itself was beautiful, although the photos appear outdated as part of the beach is now overgrown. Overall, with some maintenance and a more accurate listing, this would be a much better rental.
