Cozy Weekenders Lakefront Cottage with Hot tub (fishing boat rental available)

10/10 Excellent
"The property was easily found on a nice back road with a wonderful lakeside location. The access was easy with the code provided in advance for the key box. The paddle board and hot tub were both used, the beds were comfortable, my friend said this was the best nights sleep of the trip!! Everything went to plan, except we saw no moose in the park but can't blame the property for that. There is a local supermarket in Minden which provided everything we needed. We both enjoyed morning coffee on the decking listening to the Blue Jays and watching the squirrels and chipmunks forage."

The house is only a block from Haliburton’s Main Street, within easy walking distance of many restaurants and stores as well as the library, the post office, and the public park on the lake. This is a great starting point for exploring the many beautiful aspects of the Haliburton Highlands."
