- Cottage rentals on two of Haliburton Ontario’s finest lakes
One of Ontario’s most attractive housekeeping cottage rental resorts is located on beautiful Mountain Lake in the Haliburton Highlands. With a driving time of only 2-1/2 hours from Toronto, we are a great weekend getaway retreat for couples and families. When it comes to Ontario cottage rentals, we offer immaculate facilities in a lakefront setting, which are second to none. Situated within the rugged landscape of the Haliburton Highlands, you can enjoy a wide range of nature based outdoor activities or visit local artists and shops, which have made Haliburton an artistic haven.
Exceptional Cottage Rental Value
Our cottages for rent range from studios to three-bedroom size. All are tastefully decorated, well maintained and come with fully equipped kitchens and TV/video facilities. Most have fireplaces and some have two-person corner Jacuzzi baths. Our three bedroom cottages have spacious decks off the living area while the studio and two-bedroom cottages have covered porches overlooking the lake. With only eight cottages on the 5-acre property, our setting is intimate and quiet. The grounds of the Resort are lovely with gardens and winding pathways throughout.
Variety of On-site Activities in an Intimate Setting
Your hosts are Carol and Bruce McClennan who are most interested in helping you enjoy the diversity that a Haliburton cottage vacation can offer. On-site are canoes, kayaks and paddleboats, all available for the complementary use of our guests. The fishing is great whether it is off our fishing dock or from one of our fishing boat rentals in summer or through the ice from our ice hut in the winter. Our in-ground heated swimming pool is open from May 24th weekend to well into September. There is also direct water access to the Minden Whitewater Preserve, one of the premier whitewater kayaking venues in Canada. In the winter, our floodlit ice skating rink is very popular with couples, families and friends getting together for a winter weekend. Cross-country ski trails adjacent to our property are groomed, trackset and maintained by Haliburton Nordic Trails. We also welcome snowmobilers who have access from Mountain Lake to the 600 km of snowmobile trails maintained by the Haliburton County Snowmobile Association.
All the Ingredients for a Romantic Getaway
A highlight of your Ontario cottage holiday might also be the gourmet dinner and Spa service, which we deliver to the privacy of your cottage. Whether it is a couple’s retreat or a ladies weekend, our Spa service can meet your needs for relaxation therapy or aesthetic treatment. Our gourmet dinner service combines the best of an intimate cottage vacation with fine dining offered by larger resorts. Whether it is a romantic couple’s candlelit evening in front of the fire or a family reunion, we can provide the dinner to remember.
