You’ll understand why the moment you’re on the dock before anyone else wakes up, coffee in hand, loons calling across the water, and the sky shifting from pink to gold. This is the morning you’ve been promising yourself. Two bedrooms. Private waterfront. Five watercraft waiting on your dock, no rental fees, no reservations needed. This is a getaway on one of Haliburton's cleanest, deepest, and quietest lakes. THE SUNRISE COTTAGE: Inside, it’s the kind of place that only exists after years of family walking through the door. The screen door still swings with that familiar creak, the one that means someone's heading to the dock with a towel over their shoulder, or coming back in for another round of drinks. With two queen bedrooms, a full bath and a kitchen built for actual cooking, the space is as functional as it is charming. The living room faces the water through oversized windows, so you can catch the sunrise without even leaving the couch. THE LAKE: The dock is yours alone. No sharing with neighbours; no jockeying for space. Five watercraft are waiting for you: two kayaks, a canoe, a stand-up paddleboard, and a pedal boat. Rentals run $200+ a day elsewhere; here, they’re just sitting on your dock. We provide life jackets in every size, kids included. Halls Lake is the "insider pick" in Haliburton County. It’s quieter than the tourist-heavy lakes and deeper and cleaner than most. The water is weed-free, no murky lake-bottom surprises when you jump off the dock. When the sun drops, there’s a firepit with wood already stacked. Watch the sky go from pink to purple to more stars than you remembered existed. WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY: "Watching the full moon rise while sitting by the firepit was a highlight." - Paul "This was our second (and definitely not last!) time staying at this beautiful lake house." - Ryan "Easy ladder in and out of the water. Great lake location where you could jump in right off the dock." - Brandi "Every item I’d forgotten was stocked, which made our stay incredibly easy." - Nathan WHO THIS IS FOR: This cottage is for couples craving stillness, small families who want their kids off screens and into the lake, and remote workers who've earned a view better than their office wall. 20 minutes to Minden for supplies or 10 minutes to Carnarvon for Rhubarb, The Peppermill, and Haliburton Highlands Brewing. You can even walk to Marion's for fish and chips (order the halibut). Algonquin Park and the Dorset Tower are easy day trips, but honestly? Most guests never leave the dock. PACK LIGHT: The dock has everything you need. Inside, it's set up the way we'd want to arrive: real sheets (not rental-thin ones), beach towels so you don't pack wet ones home, and a kitchen with actual tools. Families: Pack'n Play, highchair, and baby bath are here. Pets: Your well-behaved dog is welcome; we just ask that you keep them leashed outside and clean up after them. Connectivity: Reliable WiFi for streaming and video calls, plus cell service. Parking: Space for 2 vehicles. The last morning is always the hardest. You'll sit on that dock with your coffee, watching the mist rise one more time, already planning your next trip. IMPORTANT PROPERTY NOTES: Garbage: We do not have curbside garbage collection. A quick stop at the landfill on your way out keeps wildlife where it belongs. Garbage bags, landfill pass and directions are provided on arrival. Taxes & Licensing: We are a registered short-term rental (STR) License: #STR25-00116\. Our nightly rate includes the mandatory 4% Municipal Accommodation Tax (MAT) as required by the Township of Algonquin Highlands By-law. Security & Safety: For the protection of our guests and the property, four exterior motion-triggered Blink cameras monitor the driveway and parking area only.

We used the kayaks, paddle boost and SUP so everyone was happy. The cottage was lovely and the beds super comfortable. Everything we needed was supplied, better than most cottages we have rented. Everything was in good working order. Not t so much luck fishing this time around but had fun trying. Alison checked in in via email regularly. We would return to this cottage. ##### Mary H. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 28 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The View! We had a great stay on Halls Lake. The cottage is situated just steps up from the lake, and the view was breathtaking from both inside or outside the cottage. We have travelled quite a bit in the North and can say that this was the cleanest, best equipped lodging we have ever encountered. Clean spaces, fresh linens, great appliances, and all the amenities you could ever use. There is very little you need to bring as it is all supplied as advertised . We appreciated the empty fridge and ample cupboard space for our own supplies. When we did encounter a small issue, Alison was there within the hour and fixed the problem. It was a very restful week surrounded by nature. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Giovanna S. 26 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful End of Summer Getaway We closed out our summer with this stunning cottage on beautiful Halls lake. Canoeing, fishing, swimming and bonfires don't even begin to sum up all of the family fun this place offered. Hosts were exceptional. Checked in just the right amount of times, left the cottage with everything you'd need and moving through the kitchen to prepare meals was literally seamless. Don't get me started on the beds, we literally had the most restful sleep with the most comfortable duvets ever. Neighbours are quiet and friendly too! .... We had such an amazing stay and would love to return! 10/10 would recommend! Thank you again for such an amazing weekend. P.S, don't sleep on the chip shop! They make an amazing halibut and chips and it's only a few mins away (heads up, cash only!) ##### Giovanna S. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Michelle C. 13 Jul 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Started out great but went downhill Booked this late because we previously booked somewhere else and had a death in the family. Upon arrival, looked good. Nice day didn’t start cooking until 9….no propane. Luckily, host was able to bring by. Next day, awful weather, had to call host 2x because there was no water ☺️good part was host was always available, and good thing because we had to call multiple times. Last night there, not a good night. Pros, great location, Great Lake. Cons, even though host was available, shouldn’t need to contact in 48 hour stay. Not going to give all details. In the end, thankful I booked through VRBO, because they made everything better. ##### Michelle C. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Biswadip G. 20 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Serene Escape Amidst Nature’s Splendor Nestled deep within the woods of Algonquin Highlands, this lakeside property offers a tranquil retreat that seems like it’s straight out of a fairytale. The shimmering waters of the lake, juxtaposed with the maple trees, create a picturesque setting that is both breathtaking and calming. From the moment you set foot on the property, the melodious calls of local birds and the gentle rustle of leaves greet you. The property itself offers modern amenities ensuring a comfortable stay without compromising the rustic charm. The property, with its cozy interiors, perfectly complements the surroundings. Large windows ensure that you wake up to the sight of the sun reflecting off the lake, and the evenings are best spent by the wood fireplace, perhaps with a book in hand. For the adventurous at heart, the Algonquin Highlands hiking trails that challenge and delight and there’s no shortage of ways to connect with nature. However, the real charm of this property lies in the simpler moments – perhaps sipping your morning coffee on the wooden deck overlooking the water. The hostess(Alison) is a wonderful person who is always available at an arms length be it at late night for emergencies. The studio tour suggested by her was a hidden gem. ##### Biswadip G.

Easy ladder in and out of the water. Great Lake location were you could jump in right off the dock. Water was clear and not very busy with boats. Will go back. ##### Brandi C. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Cynthia R., Montreal 18 Jul 2023 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### Covert videotaping of guests ruined stay. Hope you weren't a guest like us that didn't know. On checkout, when going into the storage room, we saw an active Blink module and found 1 camera well hidden outside. We contacted VRBO, who told us the host confirmed multiple cameras, and the host told VRBO it was an oversight and not an invasion of privacy and not to worry. I don't understand how multiple video cameras affixed to solid objects can be considered an oversight. We have yet to receive the videos, but the host seems to believe we should take her word that it's okay to videotape people without their knowledge. I would not recommend this property to anyone. The host has now updated the property description to say video cameras. ##### Cynthia R.

The welcome binder answered all our questions. Alison, our host, was very friendly and great to work with. She came and replaced a heater when the one we had wasn't working. The location was perfect. We used the cottage as our home base and hiked local trails and the Hiway 60 Corridor into Algonquin Provincial Park to see the Fall colours. Alison was helpful with good hiking trail suggestions. We had a relaxing and enjoyable time even with the overcast cooler weather. ##### Cathy H.

The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. Everything was just as described and as shown in the photos. The lake is super clear, great for swimming. The best part had to be enjoying the incredible sunrise from the deck and seeing two loons swim by on our first morning. The host, Alison, was super welcoming, responsive and just overall a pleasure. We’ve definitely fallen in love with Halls Lake and are eager to go back! ##### Monika B. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ---
