Happy in the Highlands

Horseshoes bring good luck, just like this cottage stay on Horseshoe Lake in Minden. Our family had summered in the Haliburton Highlands since the mid-50s so, my sister and I knew and loved cottage country and decided to take a break for ourselves up there again. What a treat to land at Mike and Shirley's wonderful classic summer cottage in a perfect waterfront setting; exactly as they had described. Spacious, quiet, clean, well cared for - and they have thought of everything to outfit the place inside and out. We are cooks and the kitchen was great. The location is super for conveniences and/or exploration and adventures. Their waterfront is lovely - you have your choice of sandy beach or your own dock for swimming, kayaking or just planted in a Muskoka chair and listening to the loons. It's all good. Mike and Shirley and their sweet dog Luna are excellent hosts - warm, friendly and responsive to anything you need whether they are in or out of town. They do live next door about half the week, but have their own life at the lake so, never a bother. This cottage stay on Horseshoe is a winner all around. I will definitely book with Mike and Shirley again when I'm up for time up at the lake again.

A great week

We had an excellent stay! The cottage was spacious, clean, and comfortable, and the location was perfect for what we needed with a 1 year old. We won’t hesitate to rent here again in the future!

Great family cottage week

My family and I had a wonderful week on Horseshoe Lake. Mike and Shirley were the ultimate hosts providing a cottage that lacked nothing - kitchen stocked with all the cooking items you would need; comfy beds; beach toys for my daughter and satellite/movies for those rainy days. The beach is large for sand play and offers easy access into the lake for toddlers. Lots of chairs and loungers provided. Water toys for use (kayaks, canoe and paddleboat) to get out on the water and explore the lake. The cottage is on shared property with the owners however Mike and Shirley keep to themselves - available if needed, but allow for privacy. Overall a great week making cottage memories.

Great Cottage Experience!

The cottage was clean and lovely! Very comfortable space, great beds, the beach and dock areas were amazing. The lake is pristine and we swam daily! Mike and Shirley were attentive without being intrusive. Just great! Can’t say enough good things! We’re going back next year!

Great vacation

We stayed at this property for one week in August. The cottge was clean and well maintained and sits right on the water with a sandy beach. This was perfect for our two year old granddaughter. The owners provided kayaks, a paddle boat and a canoe which we thoroughly enjoyed. The owners, Mike and Shirley were great hosts and we plan to rent again next year.

Horseshoe Lake, Minden

It was delightful and spacious. Shirley and Mike were gracious hosts. They were delightful. Everything at the cottage worked except we couldn’t figure out the vacuum cleaner. :) The outdoor fire pit was a highlight. The beach was clean and welcoming. We would like to thank Shirley and Mike for the gifts celebrating our marriage with the Ukrainian good luck bouquet and lovely wine. Hope to see you again next summer. Jack and Donna

This is a lovely three bedroom classic Ontario cottage on beautiful Horseshoe Lake near Minden. Very pleasant and helpful owners live next door. Nice, sandy beach. Especially enjoyed reading on the dock in the morning, listening to the loons. Hope to return next summer.
