The Cottage Big Straggle Lake offers year-round fishing, great swimming, and we have a rowboat and two pedal boats that you may use to explore the lake, several islands, and even a hidden passageway to Little Straggle Lake. Our dock is large enough for sunning yourself on hot days or just hanging out with friends on the chairs and picnic table. There is a fire pit overlooking the lake with plenty of seating to host your party (and firewood at the ready), and a grassy area beside the cottage on which lawn games can be enjoyed. We have a full size kitchen with a double sink, microwave, stove/ oven, full-sized fridge, and BBQ for you to enjoy. At your disposal are many other personal appliances such as a coffee maker, toaster, Actifry (alternative to deep-fryer), George Foreman grill, and blender. There is plenty of storage space for whatever you bring up as well. The living room has a widescreen TV, Satellite television, DVD player, and VCR. There is a small TV, DVD player, and VCR in the first bedroom (the one with four bunk beds). We have lots of VHS tapes and a few DVDs to watch, books to read, and games to play, should you find yourself stuck inside on a rainy day or need something to do in the evening. In the living room, there is also a wood-burning stove to which you may curl up to after you build yourself a fire in the evening.
The following are some tips for enjoying our cottage:
Linens & Towels - Please bring your own linens (or sleeping bags) & towels. Supplied for you at the cottage are pillows, comforters, duvets & duvet covers, extra blankets, and pillow & mattress protectors.
Essentials - You will need to bring your own essentials (soap, shampoo & conditioner, bug spray, sunscreen, etc?), but don't worry...the toilet paper is on us!
Internet - We now have free unlimited high speed wifi.
Phone Service - There is no 'landline' phone service at the cottage. There is minimal cellular service in Harcourt Park, but we have installed a cellular phone booster in the living room that can allow you to access your own cellular carriers' signal for voice, text, and data communications. As a backup in an emergency situation, there is a payphone only 300 meters away, at the nearest private road intersection.
Water - Drinking water is available from the community well at the Harcourt Park Community Centre (3 min drive down the road). This well is maintained by Harcourt Park and is tested regularly to ensure that it is safe for drinking. Supplied for you are 4 large containers for storing drinking water at the cottage.
Boats - We have 5 boats for you to enjoy (2 kayaks, 2 peddle boats, and one row boat). There are no outside boats allowed in Harcourt Park to prevent the introduction of non-native and invasive species. You may bring your own small non-powered personal watercraft (kayak, canoe, etc...) as they are easy to clean before they enter the lake, but powered personal watercrafts (jet skis) are not allowed.

| We just returned from our first time staying at Hazenberg Hideaway and had a wonderful week. The cottage has beautiful views of the lake and the dock has lots of sunshine. The water is great for swimming and kayaking. The cottage has all the necessities..well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds and lots of movies and puzzles for rainy days.
Darryl was very helpful and promptly answered our questions. We plan to return next year!

| This was our second stay at Hazenberg Hideaway and we love this cottage! My three kids spend hours swimming, snorkelling and kayaking off the dock and during rainy days, we played board games and enjoyed the classic movies available to view. Bingo nights on Wednesdays at the community centre are a highlight, as is boating to the big island to hike and swim off the rocks. We will be back!

| The cottage was more than enough space for our family of 5, including 3 teens. The kids spent lots of time out on the water swimming (the raft is great!), out in the peddle boats and just being down at the dock. The views are wonderful and more than enough seating at the dock or on the deck for everyone's needs. Within the cottage, plenty of games for quiet evenings or the 1 rainy day we had. Kitchen was stocked with equipment to cook. There really was not anything we did not need or wish we had, beyond more time for 'lake life"! We left feeling we had really enjoyed ourselves and know we made great memories together on Big Straggle as a family!

| This was our second trip to this cottage and it most certainly will not be our last. With a huge back deck that overlooks the firepit area and the lake, you could enjoy an entire day without getting out of your Muskoka chair. The double-sided dock (different from the photos) is amazing for fishing and getting into and out of the several boats that are available. We absolutely love jumping into a kayak or the peddle boats and setting out onto the gorgeous lake. The fire pit has lots of room for seating and there are PLENTY of chairs for everyone. LOTS of firewood also provided.
Inside the cottage, the fireplace was wonderful on the rainy day we had. There is no shortage of entertainment with board games, movies, and video games. The water pressure in the shower is better than most cottages I've been too which is always a concern of mine since I've got long hair. For meal prep, the kitchen is fully stocked and has a wonderful island and lots of space to work.
Just book it! But not during the week I want :)

| This was my third time at this cottage. My family absolutely loves it there and will go every year we can. They have just about everything you can think of and need. The lake is fun for kayaking and peddle boating. Life jackets are provided as well. Classic Nintendo is great for rainy days or evenings after dark. DVD and VCR, board games. Everything. Darryl is always attentive and easy to deal with for booking. Chipmunks are fun to feed too. Cottage is very clean, cozy and well taken care of. Highly recommend this property.
