We all really enjoyed our time at the cottage. There were a lot of great amenities and activities to do and the hosts were very helpful and responsive. Highly recommend a stay at this unique cottage experience.
James’ places was fantastic, it was clean and the location was convenient. Our group had a blast at the property and we were surprised at how many amenities the cottage had.
The cottage and property were very clean and exactly as shown in the pictures. Communication with the host was very easy and responsive. The sauna and hot tub were in great shape. This is a great cottage for friends and family to enjoy! Lots of space and all the amenities you need to enjoy yourself and be comfortable. We definitely recommend this cottage and hope to come back soon :)
We had a fantastic stay at this property! From the beginning, the host was incredibly reliable and friendly, always quick to respond to any questions we had. The check-in process was seamless and stress-free, which made settling in a breeze.
The house itself was wonderfully spacious, giving us plenty of room to relax and enjoy our time. The living room area was a highlight—comfortable, inviting, and perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring.
We also appreciated the well-thought-out TV setup and the selection of games available, which added an extra layer of fun to our stay. Overall, this place was a great choice for our getaway, and we’d definitely recommend it to others!
This place blew my expectations out the water. From the listing description I had high hopes and was somehow even more impressed upon arriving. The place was super clean and we felt right at home. Everything we could need was there, and all of the cool amenities made this a super special and fun stay. The beds were super comfortable and cozy, and the heated floors in the bathroom made me want to move in! I have rented many places before and have never had a better experience, from the cleanliness, homey feeling, fun amenities, chic and cute decor/vibes, and of course how welcome the host made us feel, he was very communicative and eager to ensure we had the best stay. I would 100% rent this place again and recommend it to others!
This was a perfect vacation for our family. Loved everything about the entire experience. Owner was super responsive & when the stove did not work, he got a technician to fix it right before our arrival. The beds were very comfortable including the linens. Will surely come again.
We had a great time. The house was big enough to fit 10 of us comfortably. The property owner was quick to respond to any questions or concerns. The check in process went smooth. All house information was provided prior to check in and throughout.
Our stay at this cottage was nothing short of magical! Our group of friends were looking for a place to vacation together and this place was perfect and had it all for a very reasonable price. The space was very clean and had a lot of amenities like a hot tub, sauna, ping pong table, boardgames and a movie projector—there was never a shortage of activities for us to do. The cottage offers a very peaceful atmosphere with serene views of nature all around- especially picturesque this time of year with all of the snow. I’d like to point out as our stay took place in the winter, that the driveway was well groomed and maintained, and the area around the house was very well salted so we had no concerns for safety or access. The heated tiles in the bathroom were a very nice addition during this season of cold weather too too. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to our host who was very quick to respond, professional, kind and very accommodating to our needs and concerns. The host went out of their way to ensure booking went smoothly and that we had a wonderful and comfortable stay, and for that we owe you great thanks! I would recommend a stay here, as I would absolutely come again.
Absolutely incredible stay! Our recent cottage getaway was pure bliss from start to finish. We spent most of our time indoors, truly taking advantage of all the amazing amenities. The sauna was a dream, and the hot tub provided the perfect spot to unwind and relax. The outdoor dome was such a unique and cozy touch – we loved spending time in there!The cottage itself was exceptionally well-furnished, making it feel like a luxurious home away from home. Every detail was thoughtfully considered. What really stood out was how super clean everything was, and the instructions provided in advance were incredibly clear, making our arrival and entire stay seamless. This place truly exceeded our expectations. We would definitely look to book another trip here!
Area was nice, albeit a bit crowded with neighbours pretty close by. The dome was a great addition, but the first time we went in to check, the zipper for the entrance opened and wouldn’t close, so we couldn’t use it. Cottage came fully stocked with cooking/kitchen utensils, cookware, dishware, etc. and bedsheets/towels. Other than the dome, everything was as advertised.
The cottage was lovely, very clean and it is apparent that a lot of thought and care went into this listing by the host. Before our stay, we were sent a link with full house details and instruction videos that really left no room for uncertainty with how to use amenities such as the hot tub, sauna and dome. We enjoyed the hot tub and dome but never got to using the sauna. We stayed with 2 adults and a medium/large dog - we all had a great time and loved our stay. Would definitely recommend. There are charges if you don’t take garbage but the local waste station in Haliburton did not charge us for disposal on our departure which was great We went during off season (May) but host had outdoor activities available for all seasons (snow shoes, inflatable paddle boards, outdoor games) which was nice even though we didn’t use. I have sent this property to friends and family and would definitely return in future!
Although the yard was enjoyable, this listing is far from how it’s shown. One disappointment after the other. I’m unsure how this space for any 5 star reviews. Although James was responsive during our stay as I was listing issues throughout the entire weekend, nothing has been done to compensate us. It was dirty, not well equipped, additional charges to get rid of our garbage at the local landfill, no Pac-Man or ping pong table as mentionned. We needed to shovel over an hour before we could access amenities, and the list goes on. Nice property but way overpriced and not new or clean like pics show! Steer clear! We were definitely had with this one.
