| I have spent years renting cottages and this is by far one of the best ! The attention to detail in every nook and cranny of this space, indoors and out, has brought comfort , peace and pleasure during my stay . From the fully loaded kitchen to the dockside that has kayaks and paddleboards where i certainly did a lot of reflection on this peaceful lake . It is very obvious the owner is passionate about her place and to her guests . I mean she has a swing on one of the balconies,, i sat there watching the sunrise each morning ... to these oversized comfy chairs to catch up on some books i neglected and don't get me started on the master bedroom/ensuite... talk about getting spoiled .... to the special treats she left for her guests .. This place is a keeper and I will definitely rent again .. and again

| WHAT A COTTAGE!!! H2H Cottage was incredible, my only regret was not booking for a few extra days.
To start, the view is simply incredible. You get the most epic sunrises. Wake up, make coffee and head outside to the upper deck to watch the sun peek over the trees. Speaking of decks... there is not 1 but 4 deck/dock areas to hang out on! The upper deck has a lovely dining area - great for any meal. There is a lower deck with the cutest hammock swings (tulum vibes) - a great spot to read a book. Make your way down to the the lake and you will find another deck with muskoka chairs. and the main dock area with lots of watersport activities (kayaks and paddleboards). I recommend going out at sunset or sunrise when it's nice and calm.
There are also some cute hammocks along the walk down to the water as well - more spots to read books or take a nap.
I love the decor of the cottage - has a "cottagy" vibe with a mix of modern. The primary bedroom has a stunning view of the lake.... so nice to wake up to. Honestly though my fave was the "spa like" bathtub with jets.... and candles... sooooo relaxing... i played some nice music and just zenned out for an hour!
The cottage overall is quite large, there is an office space for those remote workers, which i loved because i had to do a bit of work while I was there.
The kitchen is stocked with all the basics and more... coffee, sugar, spices, oils, etc.
things to do nearby: haliburton cloud forest!
thanks Laura!!!
