Haliburton Post House

Haliburton Post House

10/10 Excellent
"Recently stayed here Aug. 14-16. Check in was seamless. A pair of chocolate truffles welcomed us on arrival with a hand written note saying as much. The mattress was firm and in excellent condition, the room was fully pre-stocked stocked with crisp, fresh linens and a mini fridge with several non-alcoholic drinks at no extra charge, coffee pods and a coffee maker. The room and washroom sparkled and smelled of fresh cedar logs, instantly transporting us into Vacay Mode. The complimentary brekky was fresh and generous enough to let us get going on our early morning paddle to explore the lake by canoe or kayak. Fresh, plush towels were available outdoors, too, right near the dock. The sauna located in the gym, the outdoor fireplace and games would also be great to try during a longer stay. I can suggest to offer guests to make marshmallows in summer by the firepit one night of the week. Front of House lead, Justine, took very good care of us and responded to any request we made and checked back in during our stay, in case we wanted to opt in for dinner or brunch reservations. Very attentive staff overall. Would go back here in a heartbeat in another season to continue exploring the area. A magical hidden gem in Haliburton that actually does live up to its 5 star rating. Outstanding service by the whole team. I cannot wait to tell my close friends how wonderful our visit here was."
