Book a Burnt River Cottage

"Lovely stay! "

"Everything was great."

"A perfect cozy getaway for a winter weekend, with a fireplace and hot tub to keep us warm even when we got almost 20cm of snow! Host was very helpful and friendly, and everything was just as shown on the listing. We will have to come back in the summer and check out the kayaking and fire pit."

"Comfortable room. Perfect for the night."

"I booked myself a solo getaway and absolutely loved my stay. I stumbled across this place by chance and booked on a whim! I'm glad I did.The room was absolutely beautiful, and the view from the terrace was unbelievable. One of my favorite parts was having my morning coffee out there admiring the view and watching the sunset. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious! I also really enjoyed my spa treatment, and the entire spa area was fantastic. So many options to choose from, including various services, the saunas, steam room, and pool. I’ll definitely be returning and plan to make this a yearly getaway for myself. See you next year! "

"Clean room, lots of hot water for showers. Easy check-in and friendly front desk."

"We had a beautiful stay! The cottage is clean, comfortable and well situated to enjoy the lake view from your muskoka chairs on the waterfront deck. Karen and Stew are excellent hosts who have anticipated their guests' every need. We appreciated all the small touches such as coffee and snacks. The kitchen is well supplied and very functional. We were cozy and warm here during a beautiful fall weekend. And there's lots to do see and do in the surrounding area. We'll be returning."

"This was the perfect cottage getaway for our Mini Moon!! The cottage was super clean, cozy and had lots to do! We enjoyed the hottub, took the kayaks out on the river and cozied up by the fire and played games. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook our meals up there which was great. We brought our dog and she loved it too - lots of wooded trails nearby to take her for walks and she loved chasing all the chipmunks and frogs running around. The hosts also left us a bottle of champagne to celebrate our recent marriage which was so kind of them! This cottage also has the bonus of all the super cute decor and was very aesthetically pleasing if you’re into taking cute cottage pics! The cheetah print chair was my personal fave :) we may just have to make Hills Haven our anniversary getaway spot from now on! 2 notes for future guests - bring something with you to roast s’mores on the fire if that’s you’re plan, and the hot tub took a bit of time to get as hot as we wanted so maybe start it up a few minutes before you plan on going in.

"Tanya is a great host. The cottage location is fabulous! Right on the shores of Balsam Lake. Drinking your morning coffee by the water - heaven. The cottage has all that is needed to enjoy your stay. "
