We rented this beautiful property with friends visiting for the first time to Canada and we had the most relaxing and peaceful time. The view, water front dock, lake and cottage were perfect. Everyone had an amazing time playing games, swimming, relaxing on the dock and exploring the lake in a pontoon rental. We all got our steps in when heading down or up from the waterfront with the many stairs. The view from the deck was breath taking. Our host was more than helpful and made sure we all had a wonderful time. This is an amazing cottage to rent. We highly recommend.

Great property for a wonderful getaway in cottage country. Loved the lake and had a great time canoeing around in the afternoon. Excellent proximity to hiking trails, provincial parks and other cute towns for day trips, with a local grocery and general store with everything you would need. Highly recommend for a weekend/week on the lake, wish we could have taken advantage of all the water activities but there simply wasn't enough time. Great spot for a family, or a small group of friends.

We spent the weekend at this lovely cottage and got to enjoy all the great amenities. Right on a beautiful lake, we we did some canoeing and fishing during the day, and then relaxed at the cozy cottage in the evenings. All the necessities were included, which was super helpful. The surrounding area and property are gorgeous and we're looking to come back again this very same summer!

The property is on a beautiful lake. It was winter and the cottage was very cozy. Everything we needed was there and the area is wonderful.

The cottage was well stocked which made it very convenient for us. The swimming and paddling was great! The stairs down to the water may be tougher for families with really young kids - we had adults and teens so we didn't mind. Haliburton Village was a fun place to stroll around on the rain day and groceries were close by.

We had a wonderful stay! The water is nice and deep so the swimming was excellent, which is key for us. The cottage was beautiful and well maintained in a lovely natural setting.

Perfect week on the lake
We stayed at the lake house in the winter a few years ago and we’re keen to spent some time in the summer, and it did not disappoint! The cottage was perfectly appointed and very cozy. Our favorite time of day was sunset on the dock… so gorgeous.

Little Bit of Paradise
We enjoyed every bit of our stay. We canoed, kayaked, swam, took amazing sunset pictures, hiked and biked. The spot was just so serene and we were able to completely unwind and relax. The bed was so comfy and the cottage provided everything we needed. There were no surprises as it was everything advertised to be or foretold to be aware of. Just lovely! The hosts were kind and checked on us to see if we needed anything. We highly recommend this rental!

Scenic Getaway
We had the most wonderful stay at this lake house. Our favourite part was the truly unique one of a kind view of the mountains on the other side of the lake. It is so peaceful, and the perfect place to recharge, make memories and enjoy nature. The owners were great to communicate with and they provided us with the tools and full detailed instructions for our stay to ensure we were well equipped and safe. We will be staying here again, and we can’t wait until next time!

Great way to refocus
We spent a few winter days relaxing in this lovely cottage. It has everything you could possibly need from a well supplied kitchen to board games and comfy rooms if you’re looking to spend the cold time indoors. Great lake view and very quiet. Owners were amazing and easy to get in touch with for anything. Thank you!

An amazing experience!
Along with close friends we came to this beautiful cottage! Instantly we saw why the owners fell in love, the view is spectacular, and the cottage feels like home! Pride of ownership is apparent as this cottage is well kept and beautifully modernized.
We enjoyed a wonderful winter walk, and even ventured out on the frozen lake!
We cozied up by the woodstove and played games on our last night!
We look forward to visiting again, in the warmer months!

Short Getaway
My family was looking for a quiet, winter escape and we got everything we wanted with this cottage. Everything was clean and organized which made for a really smooth transition. Lots of great winter activities close by during the day and nights spent playing board games by the fire we’re just what we needed.

Beautiful winter getaway!
This is a lovely and cozy cottage! Comfortable beds, well stocked with a modern kitchen, appliances and a large table overlooking the lake to gather together sharing meals and playing games. There is a great firepit, nice view of the lake and the sky was covered with a blanket of stars.
No problems with the internet and the guys were able to work and attend lectures remotely with no issues. Would highly recommend this property for a winter get away!

Great winter getaway
Our family had a wonderful time at the Highlands East cottage. We spent three nights in January and enjoyed skating and snowshoeing on the lake. The cottage was well equipped, clean, and comfortable. After lots of outside time, we spent our evenings in the family room enjoying the cozy warmth of the wood stove. The hosts were very helpful and responded quickly to our questions. We have already started talking about when to go back.

Excellent stay in this cosy Highland Lake Cottage
Our two families really enjoyed our stay at Nicky and Adrian's cottage over New Year 2022. They've clearly put a lot of thought into the comfort of guests, with everything you'll need in the kitchen, comfortable beds, and the most thorough and helpful cottage guide I've ever seen - with lots of local tips and recommendations. We enjoyed the frozen lake, winter hiking and even an outdoor fire. Thanks for the stay, we hope to come back!

A Mesmerizing Experience
We recommend this mesmerizing lakehouse if you want to experience heaven on earth. We spent three nights there during the holiday season with a friend and our family. As a first step, they promised us a 5-star experience if we were mindful of our noise level at all times and respecting the neighbours, and they delivered their promise. The cottage itself was incredibly clean and very fancy. There is practically everything a family might need, starting from the newly renovated kitchen to some beautiful spacious rooms. As a duplex cottage, you could watch the lake in front of you while relaxing by a warm wood stove at night. We will definitely return during the summer, as its winter was so beautiful. Nicky and Adrian were also in touch with us on a daily basis in case we needed anything. It was indeed the most beautiful, calm, relaxing trip we had with our family.
Thank you so much and wish you the best year ahead, Nicky and Adrian.

BOOK THIS IF YOU CAN!
If you are looking for the perfect Canadian cottage experience, look no further. Nicky and Adrien were not only super communicative(I had lots of questions) but they are kind and understanding people that were willing to do everything to ensure our stay was comfortable and relaxing. The cottage itself is magnificent. The view is to die for! The cottage is virtually new with lots of space to hang out together or alone if you need some "me" time. It really is a dream cottage with every modern luxury you could want. I can't wait to go back! The location was quiet and serene. We stayed for 4 days and didn't want to leave. It was the perfect get away from the loud city. The beds were very comfortable, lots of games to play and a beautiful kitchen that is worthy of a magazine. I know I sound like I am gushing but I can't say enough about how great a time we had. I HIGHLY recommend staying here if you want an authentic cottage experience. OH! and there is a fresh water spring steps from the front door. Go here and I promise you won't regret it!! Thank you a thousand times Nicky and Adrien!

The perfect city escape
Ive stayed at many waterfront cottages in the past, but the Lake House was truly something special. The cottage itself was in an amazing location, and was extremely clean and tidy (you can tell Adrian & Nicky really care about their property). The lake that the cottage backed onto was so beautiful. It was quiet and calm at all times of the day. I would highly recommend staying at Adrian & Nickys cottage!
