Although many Canadians come to the cottage country in the summertime, there is just as much fun to be had in the winter months. Plan a trip with All-Season Cottage Rentals this winter and stay in a private cottage with a lakeside setting and a prime location for winter adventures. Enjoy cozy days in your cabin, scenic winter hikes, exhilarating snowmobiling adventures, epic downhill skiing, and fun seasonal events. To help you make the most of your vacation, we have compiled a list of our favorite places to visit in Ontario’s cottage country during winter, including Haliburton Forest, Sir Sam’s Ski/ Ride, and Haliburton Brewing.
Haliburton Forest
Haliburton Forest is great year-round, but there is a certain magic to winter that can’t be experienced in any other season. Immerse yourself in the breathtaking snow-covered landscapes while snowmobiling, hiking, or snowshoeing. Make sure to stop at the Wolf Centre and say hi to the resident wolf pack!
