Your winter wonderland awaits you at Haliburton Highlands Cottage Retreat!

Cute cabin, kitchen had everything we needed as well.

Me and friends enjoyed our stay, place is great has all one would want for a cottage getaway, abit of a walk to dock area due to landscape otherwise good

Wonderful cosy stay. Great location. Really enjoyed ourselves. Will be coming back.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Check-in was easy, and the property is very dog friendly, which we really appreciated. However, there were several maintenance issues and listing discrepancies that should be addressed or disclosed. The microwave is very glitchy and beeps constantly, the second-floor screen door is falling apart, several light fixtures are missing covers, the broom is taped together, the barbecue cleaning brush was completely worn out and unusable, there is duct tape on parts of the floor, and the bedding was just a duvet with no cover. There is also a significant temperature difference between the upstairs and downstairs. The sliding doors do not lock and instead rely on a wooden dowel, which didn't feel very secure. When we went to run the dishwasher before leaving, there were no pods provided. The host apologized, but when I asked if there were backups on the property, I never received a response. Guests should also know they are required to take garbage to the dump and pay a fee, which wasn't mentioned in the listing. The biggest discrepancy was the walk to the waterfront. It is much steeper and longer than expected, with makeshift stairs and poison ivy along the route. We drove down each day, which worked well. The waterfront itself was beautiful, although the photos appear outdated as part of the beach is now overgrown. Overall, with some maintenance and a more accurate listing, this would be a much better rental.
