A very nice modern cottage in a quiet area. Pool was nice on hot days and hot tube was a bonus at night. Driveway was a little steep but overall we enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful Wonderland Lake House
We were able to book this Beautiful Cottage so quickly because the owners are very responsive. Everything was extra clean very comfortable especially the sofa it was hard not to snooze 💤 . The grounds were lovely deer came each day for a visit. The morning sun early morning and then in the back gardens until sundown. Close to Haliburton buzzing centre and then in the highlands in less than 20 minutes. The cottage has Everthing, well stocked and all new “stuff”. Comfy beds and great bathrooms. Thank you for a great stay and experience.

Wonderful Cottage Getaway
Communication from the host from booking to check-out was superb, and they were quick to respond during our stay. The property was lovely, with an above ground pool and hot tub, and cottage stocked with games and everything you need for making meals during your stay. The area is quiet and private, and while it’s not directly on the water, there is lots to do within a short drive. Overall a great stay!

amazing escape from the city
It is a picturesque cottage with everything perfectly maintained. There was a great view of the lake and excellent lighting; and a forest behind the cottage. Foosball and air hockey tables in basement were great fun as was the hot tub which is on a large deck. Barbecue is conveniently near to sliding doors of cottage on a balcony. Bedrooms are spacious. Secluded, but only a brief drive to top grocery store and conveniences.

Great little getaway
We booked a last minute getaway to Serge’s cottage and were very happy we did. The property had space for our toddler and dogs to explore and the views were lovely. The place was very clean and Serge was very responsive and helpful.

Wonderful Wonderland
Lovely spacious home close to downtown Haliburton. Serge was lovely to communicate with. The home was clean, bright and comfy. Beautiful view of the lake from the spacious deck. We were there in the winter, but would love to spend time in the summer relaxing on the front deck.

House was as advertised. It was clean, spacious and well-appointed. We liked the fact that it was close to town and to nearby ski destinations. Our host, Serge, was very responsive to any of our needs. We would certainly come back and stay here again.

Reunion getaway
A beautiful, quiet spot tucked into the Canadian Shield. The house was equipped with everything you needed and accomodated my small children (highchair, baby gate, small outdoor chairs, etc) and was safe for my baby to explore. My 3-yr-old had a wonderful time exploring, especially the various boulders on the property. A short drive away you find all the amenities you need as well as an impressive sculpture trail that was a highlight of our trip. The hot tub was lovely and back patio was a great place to spend time. The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms were quiet for little ones. Serge was very responsive and helpful. Check-out tasks were a breeze. Would love to come back again and stay longer!

Fantastic family getaway
We booked this as a halfway point between extended family and it was such a great getaway. Pool was nice to have on hotter days, beach in Minden was a nice water access point not too far away. Serge was a quick message away and very responsive.

Great winter getaway
Serge’s place was perfect for our family of 4 adults and 4 little kids. We were learning to ski at Sir Sam’s nearby. The big open family room/kitchen is a beautiful place to hang out and very functional. We were happy to see there was a baby gate and some games.

Christmas Getaway
Our family was looking for a space to celebrate Christmas together. The Wonderland Cottage has high vaulted ceilings with tons of natural light and all these little elements that when tied together bring for a special experience. Our family stayed during the snow squall/blizzard and the host was really accommodating. He really went out of his way to make sure that we had a trouble-free experience.
