Stunning Fall Colours, Lake and Forest view, hiking.

Second Heaven Cottage is a family owned and maintained getaway in Harcourt.
Hiking close by or out the kitchen door. Visit the exquisite fall colours of the Algonquin/Haliburton region and fill all your fall senses, then home to the warm comfortable cottage for reflection.

Nestled among trees with a wonderful view of Long Lake 100 yards away. The lake is no motors allowed which makes it rich with nature all year round. A quiet place for families and close friends to get away into the solitude. Long Lake is "top of the chain", in lake health. The richness of nature is exquisite. The environment is one of quiet and solitude. An ideal getaway.

Swimming is ideal. The lake is spring fed with easy beach access. Canoe and pedal boat for guest use to explore the quiet lake.

Summer holiday

It was a great cottage on a very quiet lake. The boys and I had a fun week. I was a little disappointed I could not take my kayaks out in the lake, but understand why they are trying to protect it.

Lovely cottage

Lovely cottage. Deanna was very helpful when intetnet wouldn't work. Very bad roads getting in, and too steep a walk to the dock for 70+ yr olds. Also 2nd bathroom advertised was in the basement.

Beautiful and tranquil spot!

We had a great experience :) The cottage sits on a beautiful lake with lots of wildlife. Everything you need is provided in the cottage for you to enjoy your time with less stress. Deanna is super responsive and helpful if you have any questions as well. I will definitely be recommending this spot for anyone looking for a place to relax and unwind.
