About this cottage rental
Imagine a cozy cabin nestled in the woods, surrounded by towering trees and the peaceful sounds of nature. As you step inside, you are greeted by a warm and inviting interior, complete with comfortable furnishings, full kitchen, wifi, air-conditioning in the living room and fans in each of two bedrooms and the bunkie.
Step out onto the screened-in porch or onto one of two outdoor decks, one of which is complete with a five-person hot tub, perfect for soaking and relaxing after a long day of adventure. Picture yourself sinking into the bubbling water, surrounded by the serene beauty of the forest.
But the real highlight of this cabin is just outside the door and down the stairs: the river. Enjoy swimming in the river with its varying water levels, depending on the time of year, always providing a delightful swimming experience. Enjoy the fun of jumping on the lily pad, bask in the sun on the west-facing dock for long sunny days and stunning sunsets, or, if you're seeking a bit of excitement, float down the river! Bring your own life jackets. Peaceful river with no motorized boats. The river's gravel bottom ensures a comfortable footing, making water shoes optional, though they can add a bit of extra comfort.
The property also features a large fire pit area, complete with Adirondack chairs and benches and a pizza oven, too. (one basket of firewood is provided) Adjacent is a double picnic table area, well-lit for evening meals enjoyed alfresco with good company. Have fun playing croquet, washer toss or cornhole, all provided. Memories in the making!
The cozy living room provides tv with DVD player and many movies to choose from as well as many boardgames for hours of fun! Or snuggle up in the reading chair with a good book.
Looking for something to do off property? The Minden Wild Water Preserve, Horseshoe Falls and Ritchie Falls are lovely to visit or do some shopping in downtown Minden or nearby Haliburton. Plenty of shopping and eating delicious treats! There's also nearby hiking trails, go-karting, mini-golf, Kinmount Cinemas and ice cream at the Kawartha Dairy.
Whether you're seeking relaxation or adventure, this cabin in the woods has it all – a perfect retreat for those looking to unwind and reconnect with nature.
Ice machine, microwave, toaster, stove, microwave, full fridge, small drink fridge, slow cooker, drip coffee maker, propane BBQ, paper towel, toilet paper, dishwashing soap, handsoap, fitted sheet on each bed are provided.
***We provide a fitted sheet and pillow but you will need to bring sheets/blankets/sleeping bags and towels as we do not have laundry facilities on-site. Please note: As there is no garbage pickup, you will need to remove garbage and recycling at the end of your visit.

Firstly the host was amazing, kind, and a pleasure to talk and communicate with.
The place was sooo cool and creative they thought of everyone. So much to do on the property. There are cute signs everywhere giving you all the information you need.
There was a thunderstorm the power went out and as soon as we told our hosr she was so diligent in finding out when the power would be back up and running.
The from the fire pit to the hot tub down to the river there was so much todo we didnt have time to play tje games or watch a movie on the closed-in porch. We had an amazing time the views were amazing.

We enjoyed our family weekend away at the Dragonfly Hideaway. We felt instantly comfortable and "at home" when we arrived. There are plenty of amenities to enjoy, no matter the weather. It is located on one of the best spots along the river to swim, wade and boat. Highly recommend to those looking for an authentic cottaging experience.

The most adorable cottage with such thoughtful touches. The outdoor area was perfect, with the fire pit, outdoor pizza oven, outdoor games, hot tub and dock into the river! They provided everything one would need to fully take advantage of the beautiful cottage. The closed off patio is also lovely and would be a good use in cooler rainy weather when you can’t be outside to enjoy. Would definitely come back !

The cottage was great. Perfect for a getaway from the city. Sunroom was especially nice. The kitchen was well equipped but some of the drawers were a struggle for me to open. Could not find a corkscrew. The seating area near the hot tub was amazing with a view of the river. Perfect for a quick sit with coffee, instead of walking all the steps to the water.
I felt the owners were attentive to every need for us. We would return and hope for better weather and stay longer.
