We had a fantastic time staying at this lakehouse! My favourite part was being on the water paddle boarding, kayaking, canoeing, and paddle boating. The lake is beautiful! Curtis is a great host, very accommodating and communicated well with us all weekend. Would definitely go back!

Our group of 11 thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! Plenty of water activities for the old and young, and many indoor activities for us all as well. Curtis was a generous and gracious host and attended to all our requests very promptly.

Curtis is an exceptional host. He was welcoming, clear, and responded quickly with all communication. He made sure we had everything we needed and wanted us to have a great time in his space.
The cottage has lots of character and you can tell is well loved by the family! It's a warm, rustic meeting place for family and friends- this is not a "white and grey, newly renovated McMansion" like many cottage rentals these days.
Highlights of the rental include plenty of toys: movies for days, water toys, firewood, BBQs, everything you need to relax and have fun. The kitchen is well stocked, the many beds have clean bedding provided, and the bathrooms were both clean with lots of towels and toiletries. The lake access and swimming is fantastic. Great dock with chairs for hanging at the water.
One note that was unclear to me from the listing is the bedroom division. There are three bedrooms on the main floor, plus a large loft that has many beds, which opens onto the living room. Something to consider if privacy and noise is an issue for your group.
Overall, I'd highly recommend.

This cottage is labelled the fun house and it certainly is - the place has every game and movie you could think of - air hockey and darts and pacman and shuffle board and ping pong and pool but also tons of toys and boats down at the water and lots of other outdoor games. The host is the most lovely person who is so helpful and was just amazing. The swimming is amazing and the dock and the lake are fantastic. I would give this 5 stars - so much to do esp if it is raining and I would love to rent again The whole family just loved it. Thanks Curtis and family!

Great host and location, lake is very clear, great fishing and lots of things to do. There are three private sleeping rooms and many beds on the upper mezz. Everyone slept very well, washrooms on both levels were very convenient and all the games and activities inside made for a great time even in bad weather. the common area on the main level was well laid out for large groups and the swing chair in the middle was a big hit. Would definitely go back.

Had a great stay at Curtis's playhouse. Check in was a breeze and the house was fully equipped for all our needs.
No false advertising here, it truly was a playhouse.
Told all our friends and family that this is a great spot for anyone looking.

We had a great time at the cottage. Very comfortable and well appointed. Lots of games and activities to keep everyone entertained. The family room was awesome with a great wood stove. Curtis was an excellent host and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed walks up the cottage road as well as visiting the near by town of Haliburton. Definitely would come back again.

Loved this rustic cottage! Curtis was very responsive to our questions and readily available. It was really nice that he left a few extra toothbrushes. His Japanese bidet toilet seat was amazing!

We had a great few days at the Smith's haven! There was no shortage of activities, and the environment offered tons of space to be silly and make memories.

Stayed 3 nights, fully enjoyed the stay. This cottage has lots of character with many hidden details.
Everything needed to have a good time is available.
Nothing better than having a coffee watching the sunrise and a beer watching the sunset.

The lake and dock were beautiful and there was a great selection of paddle boards and canoes and water toys to use. The cottage inside was clean and lots of space. Some areas need updating but overall a great stay!

We had an amazing time at Curtis’ place!
Extremely comforting, beautifully decorated, and full of things for us to do!
Clean and easy access to the lake made our trip go extra smoothly! The dock was spacious for our group to chill around, and had lots of space for us to leave our jet-skis docked.
Curtis is a phenomenal host, he was easy to communicate with, extremely nice, and was very thoughtful when we had any questions or concerns.
Overall, an amazing place with an even more amazing host! Our group is excited for next season as we plan to book again!
