Come and experience cottage life in our cozy cottage in Haliburton. Our modern and charming 4 season family cottage is located in West Guilford on Pine Lake (part of a 3 lake chain- Pine, Green and Maple Lakes). The cottage is perfect for two families or a romantic couple getaway with easy winter access on well-maintained and plowed road. The main floor has 2 bedrooms (one room has a queen sized bed and a twin bunk bed, the other room has a queen bed and a twin bed), 1 three piece bathroom, an open concept kitchen/ dining/living room with a pull out couch, a t.v. and an electric fireplace. The dining area seats 6 while 3 additional stools provide further eating space at the kitchen island.
The basement studio has a queen bed, a pull out couch, 1 two piece bathroom, electric fireplace and a games area with a t.v.
The cottage sleeps up 10 people comfortably. Gorgeous views of the lake from the dining area, front bedroom and the deck.
On rainy days, there are lots of amenities in our games room to keep you entertained:
-play video game arcades (Asteroids, Pac-Man), air hockey, rod hockey, darts, wii, guitar hero, board games, legos, puzzles, cards, giant Jenga, and dress ups for the little princesses and super heros
-watch Netflix on our LED TV with fire stick
-watch movies from our large collection of DVDs
-browse our book shelves, dive into a good book and discover new adventures
Our waterfront consists of 365 feet of private shoreline with shallow water, perfect for young children to play and swim (water shoes are mandatory). The waterfront can have lily pads around the shore. The property is on a 3.6-acre lot with a gradual sloping lawn to the lake. Enjoy the amazing view of the lake on the large lakefront deck with a propane BBQ (propane provided), patio table with umbrella, ample outdoor furniture, hammock, 2 lounge chaises for lounging day or night, and an outdoor ping pong table. Families with young kids will appreciate the play house structure with swings and slide, sandbox, and a land trampoline. There are lots of lawn space to set up the ring toss game, axe throwing, and a junior Lacross game set.
Soak in the tranquility of the lake on our beautiful limestone sitting area or explore the lake with one of our 5 kayaks (1 child-sized 100 lbs max, 3 adult-sized, 1 four-person kayak that fits 2 adults and 2 small children), 2 peddle boats, 1 canoe, and 1 stand-up paddle board. We have various adult-sized and a couple child-sized PFD's for your use but we recommend to bring your own PFD's for proper fitting. You can dock your boat at our private dock by using the public boat launch on the same lake. The beautiful Pine Lake public beach is a 10 minute paddle or kayak from our dock. The spectacular view of the lake, sunrises and sunsets can be enjoyed sitting on Muskoka chairs from the dock. Unwind in the evening with a bonfire by the lake, roast marshmallows, eat s'mores and enjoy some star-gazing.
Pine Lake is perfect for family swimming with its clean and weed free water. The 3 lake chain is great for fishing (bass, walleye and muskie). Children and those young at heart will enjoy playing on the water floating mat or relaxing and floating on the water tubes.
Only a 2.5 hour drive from the GTA, our cottage is close to lots of shopping and amenities. There are several amazing nearby restaurants that are open year round and some even deliver. 2 minutes to the West Guilford Shopping Centre (groceries, LCBO/Beer store) and K Pub Chicken (the local Korean fried chicken restaurant). 6 minutes to Eagle Lake Country Market Store (groceries, LCBO/Beer store). 10 minutes to Haliburton Village with quaint shops, large food stores (Foodland, Independent Grocer), pharmacies (Shoppers Drug Mart, Rexall), restaurants, live theatre, liquor store, beer store, hardware store, day spas, salons, health care clinics and the hospital. 10 minutes to Carnarvon for more fantastic restaurants ((Pepper Mill Steak & Pasta House, The Mill Pond Restaurant, Boshkung Brewing Co. and Rhubarb Haliburton). 20 minutes to the Town of Minden for the famous Kawartha Dairy Ice Cream shop, more great shops and restaurants (Mulligans Pub and Patio), and the Minden River Run (lazy river experience down the Gull River). 15 minutes to the 80,000 acre Haliburton Forest and Wild Life Reserve with its groomed mountain biking trails, hiking trails, snowmobile trails, treetop trekking, wolf centre and dog-sledding tours. 10 minutes to Sir Sam's ski resort, where you can enjoy mountain biking or hiking through the hills during the summer and downhill skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing in the winter. 2 minutes to Lakeview Golf Course (Haliburton Highlands Golf Club and Pinestone Golf Course also nearby). 4 minutes to Haliburton Highlands Brewery and Abbey Gardens, a community hub for the entire family to explore and learn about living more sustainably. 1 hour to Algonquin Provincial Park.

| We had a pleasant stay despite the chilly weather. But there was still a lot of activities to keep us entertained indoors. We will definitely come back next year to enjoy the outdoor activities.

Owner response: Thank you for your review. It is unfortunate that you had fall like weather during your stay. Mother nature is very unpredictable this summer. This weekend is back to sunny summer temperatures. But we are delighted to know that you had a positive experience with us. Look forward to your future visit! | |

| We had a wonderful stay wt this cottage for the long weekend. Great space for everyone and the basement contains tons of extra activities for chilly or rainy days! We loved all the options for enjoying the water and our kids especially enjoyed the lily pad available to play on. The view was beautiful and location extremely peaceful. The cottage provided everything we needed from dishwasher pods to laundry and we really appreciated all the window coverings to keep the rooms dark for nap times. We had a great stay!
