"The owner made checking in very easy and was very flexible about what time we arrived. The bathroom and kitchenette were well appointed; the bedroom was quaint and cosy. 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."

Beautiful 3 Bdrm + Bunkie waterfront cottage near Gull Lake

8/10 Good
"Overall good stay. Cottage and property as advertised.Lots of space to accommodate a good size group. Great dining area with large table, plenty of chairs, enough seating around TV (both a couch and a love seat), bedrooms comfortable, three air conditioning units, multiple fans to keep cool, deck spacious, swimming was good with sandy bottom (there is a strong current as a heads up) and a really great size property.Things to keep in mind - this is a cottage and not a fancy home on the water. Some examples for perspective are that the furniture in living room is a bit out dated, dock needs some love etc. We had one issue that we advised the owner of after the fact and they were responsive and took action.The space is as described on the site and photos are good representation. Overall good experience and we had a great weekend!"
