A proper Canadian cottage

An enjoyable, memorable stay.

We enjoyed everything at this rustic cottage

Great location close to nature on beautiful lake

We had an amazing time. We did lots of fishing which caught many fish. The tranquility of the lake itself was gorgeous to watch. We really enjoyed the sunsets, the hummingbirds, the deer, the chipmunks, lots of blue Jay birds etc. The cottage was what we expected...old fashioned but clean and very cozy. We just loved everything!!!

Excellent communication by the property owner Joan who met with us upon arrival and responded promptly to a few inquiries during our week. We love Joan's family cottage. It's a beautiful natural setting property on a lovely large and deep lake. Enjoyed my daily dive from the dock ! Well equipped kitchen was great for meal preparation. The bathroom being in a separate building might not be for everyone but we were good with it. We hope to return !

Lovely rustic cottage. Get place to read, swim and canoe. Lake was quiet during our week stay. On a lovely point that seemed to always have a light breeze ... very few mosquitoes. Great location very close to Halliburton

I had such a wonderful week on Soyers Lake. The property was both beautiful and private and the cottage was quaint and cozy with all sorts of Family nostalgia to look at. Kayaking, meteor showers, loon calls, great food and drinks with friends. A little slice of tranquility and joy. Thank you.

We really enjoyed our week at this rustic cottage. The peace and quiet was awesome and the swimming great. There is lots of nature to enjoy. Even with lots of rain, we had a very good time.

This is a lovely old traditional three-season cottage with a great concrete dock that has a perfect view of the sunsets. It perfectly fitted our group of five for sleeping. When the nights got a little cool the little wood stove warmed us up nicely. The canoe allowed us to explore the bay we were in fully. The property has a sand shoreline and even a little beach which would be great for small children, but I enjoyed it too. Likely one of the nicest sections of the lake. The neighbours were all very friendly. Joan was a great and helpful host, giving us a full tour to get started and discreetly inquiring into our welfare during our stay and answering any questions. If you are are interested in getting away from most technology (there is weak LTE service) and enjoying the experience of a traditional rustic cottage, you can do no better than this.

Normally we are world travellers but covid has clipped our wings. A perfect little getaway from the tedium and heat of the city. Joan met us on arrival and gave us a thorough tour of Hemlock Haven. She stayed in touch during the week covering anything we could ever need. The cottage was picturesque and very clean. The waterfront is most inviting and a little bunkhouse makes additional guests possible. I would return to this place if we need a cottage again and highly recommend it for anyone who likes to enjoy a traditional cottage with a comfortable interior and pretty landscape outside!

Hemlock Haven certainly lived up to its name. The property was awesome— both dock and beach were perfect, the cottage itself was cozy and Joan the host was great and always responsive. Would totally stay here again.

It's not every day that you get the opportunity to stay in an original 1940's Haliburton Cottage. It's filled with history with family mementos in the cottage, bunk house and boat house. It has good fishing right off the dock, and lots of wildlife around. The loons calling on the water makes it very relaxing. Joan was a great host, checking in on us to see if we needed anything. Beds were comfortable and the pictures and cottage were as described. It was larger than expected. We loved it all! Thank you Joan!! Lisa, James and Sue

We had a lovely stay in this cozy cabin: everything was well-appointed and comfortable. A perfect hideaway for a traditional cottaging experience!

Had a wonderful stay at the cottage, kids enjoyed the sandy beach, jumping off the dock and playing in the woods. Wonderful sunsets. Host was very friendly and responsive.
