Incredible Place!! The best Ontario has to offer!
WOW! What a great experience. I have stayed in places all over Ontario and around the world, and while not the least expensive place, this was incredibly good value! Exceptional log house, beautifully appointed (it is obvious they used an interior decorator to furnish the place). The entire house was spotless, clean, impeccable! The 6 bathrooms were all finished in Italian ceramic tiles with glass showers beautifully installed. All rooms were very specious surrounded by natural wood and the bedrooms included all linens, towels and bedding which was a nice touch. Great attention to detail like freshly sharpened kitchen caring knives, two automatic dishwashers so we never ran out of clean glasses (imported French ceramics) puzzles and dozens of board games for those rainy days. We had such a great experience with my wife all our children plus their friends with lots of space to spare. It is hard to make everyone happy when you have a large age difference, but the cottage struck a perfect balance – we were even able to work remotely for a few days with the internet without any issue. The property is extremely quiet and private with a massive 600 foot waterfront and a huge acreage for exploring. We will definitely be back. The place is a bargain compared with smaller less well appointed cottages in Haliburton. This place is a find!

The Best
Had the most amazing family week at this cottage. So quiet, so lovely, and the views are absolutely breathtaking. You would be foolish not to rent this place!

Beautiful, family friendly cottage in gorgeous Haliburton
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2-week family vacation at this spacious, new cottage. Beautiful, open-concept kitchen-dining-living area with an additional 2 seating areas on the lower and upper floors provided lots of space for a larger group to hang out inside the cottage. Located on a private 90 acres with an expansive waterfront, we enjoyed our watersports on the lake and sitting on the dock. If you are looking for a relaxing getaway with all of the amenities, this is the perfect spot. The cottage owners, Barb and Eric, were friendly, helpful and organized. We look forward to returning.

Amazing place, bathrooms not finished
This was a remarkable place for a multi-generational family retreat. Very clean. We only wish that the owner told us ahead of check-in day that 2 of the ensuite bathrooms weren’t finished. One only had a toilet (no sink) and the other didn’t have a shower. It wasn’t a big deal in the end and there were plenty of other bathrooms and a shower on each floor but it was a disconnect with our expectations. Check-in was an hour long tour with the owner (promised as 15 minutes) going over a 4 page checklist including how to use the fridge and microwave. We would have preferred a self-serve set of instructions for reference.

Exceptional property
My large extended family has been renting cottages for over a decade and this was by far our favourite property. The cottage is beautiful with plenty of room for a family of 14. The bedrooms are all large, beds very comfortable, kitchen extremely well equipped with plenty of cupboard and counter space and the great room is lovely with exceptional views of the lake. The dock is large and the water is clear and ideal for swimming. Lots of games and water toys made for a very fun week! We were sad to leave but look forward to next summer on Haliburton Lake. Thank you, Eric and Barb, for making this such a wonderful experience for all of us.

About the host

Hosted by Eric Gott

Host profile image
My wife Barb and I have been renting properties shortly after we got married 39 years ago. We are especially proud of the Haliburton cottage. The catalyst for building this exclusive place is as a magnet for our five now fully grown family; four sons and one daughter and recently one granddaughter. We have stocked the place with everything we could possibly think of to keep the entire family happy and engaged. Our plan was to build it and they will come and so far this has been a big success. We are thrilled to make this place available for others to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

Relax in luxury. Enjoy mother everything nature has to offer in a ultra comfortable place surrounded by a magnificent forest. Perfect for families with everything to keep each member entertained and engaged. Superbly stocked kitchen for foodies to get creative with virtually every gadget and gizmo to allow them to get creative. A sun room stocked with dozens of puzzles and over 30 board games for the gamer (plus an X Box and PS4 gaming system). Curl up with a great book next to one of the two fireplaces and immerse yourself in great stories. For the outdoor included, there is a horse shoe pit and fire pit with seating for 7 plus a large field for playing out door sports and best of all access to the pristine water of Haliburton Lake.

What makes this property unique

Luxury lakefront living. Create memories for the entire family. Affordable access to a magnificent cottage surrounded by mother nature.
