Beautiful lake front!

Great location with perfect shallow waters for kids to play and swim. Cottage had everything you would need for a perfect stay. Only suggestions I would make is maybe some hooks to hang towels and side tables in bedrooms and living room. We had a fantastic stay overall. Thanks!

Good value for your money

by Robert Benz
This cottage gives you complete privacy in a quiet area, yet only about a 15 minute drive to either Haliburton village or Minden where you can do your shopping or eating out. The lakefront with a nice dock is right at your doorstep from where you can watch the most beautiful sunsets. All in all we had a great time and as a bonus the weather god was on our side...

The cottage and bunkie are very clean and comfortable. The owner response very fast when we need help. We have everything we need in the house. Very considerate. We love the paddleboard and paddle boat in the cottage. Amazing view of the lake all day!

Cosy comfort

The perfect size, well laid out, very well equipped and extremely comfortable! We had a great time in the snow, watching DVDs and snowboarding at Sir Sam’s.

Amazing Sunsets and Fall Colours

by Elizabeth Pearse
This was our second time renting Drift Away as we find it a perfect location for visiting our favourite Haliburton attractions. You're close to West Guilford and the Log Cabin Country Store, Carnarvon for Boshkung Brewing and The Pepper Mill Restaurant, Minden for grocery shopping and many hiking trails of the Haliburton Highlands. This cottage is well equipped, the beds are comfortable - which is often not the case in cottage rentals, and the sunset views over the lake are spectacular. We were only slightly disappointed when we found on arrival that the gas fireplace wasn't working. I'm sure the owner will have this fixed but maybe check before you book if it is something you're looking forward to. As we were there on the Thanksgiving weekend and temperatures had dropped, it would have been nice to have. The beauty of the lake and fall colours made up for it. We would rent here again for sure!

Exceeded Expectations

We’ve been visiting Haliburton in summertime for years and found this rental cottage exceeded our expectations. The cottage and bunkie looked to be newly renovated and both very clean and comfortable. We loved the included SUP boards and amazing sunset views! The location is so convenient to many off our favourites like The Pepper Mill restaurant, The Log Cabin Country Store and Kawartha Dairy. My only suggestion would be a washing machine - handy for longer stays, but not a deal breaker. Thank you for sharing your wonderful cottage.
