Summit Cottage on Kawagama Lake, Jul/Aug: weekly booking only (Sat. - Sat.)

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice spot. Cabin is well stock with supplies for cooking. The bbq is top notch with the ability to cook any way you want too including an oven so no worries if power goes out like it can in cottage country!"

Sir Sam's Inn & Waterspa - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"I booked this hotel because it was only minutes away from a work engagement to be completed the following morning. I arrived at the hotel after the normal check-in hours and found my room keys and a welcome letter in my name on the desk. The room has a wood-burning fireplace, which fits with the charming inn vibes of the hotels and property. The hotel overlooks a lake and it was beautifully quiet and serene the following morning. I skipped breakfast and went and sat on a chair by the water and ready a book and just enjoyed a quiet break from my work trip. I did have one issue with my room - the water stopped working while I was in the shower (of course! LOL) and slowed to a trickle. I forgot to notify the desk staff, probably it was a wider issue than my room so probably they knew already."

Beautiful Waterfront Cottage on Kennisis Lake

Panoramic Views of the Pristine Lake

10/10 Excellent

"The host was very responsive! The cottage was stocked to the max with condiments, basics like sugar, oats and flour. Everything worked. No wifi.Beds were comfy. The lake is beautiful. Caught fish right off the dock! Saw 2 pileated woodpeckers next door and there's a loon family on the lake. Fairy lites to guide the path to the dock at night. The weather was cold, windy and wet most of the time while we were there, but we could make a fire in the fireplace and in the outdoor firepit to be cozy and the location close to #35 made outings accessible. "

Pineview Retreat Cottage Rental - Haliburton

10/10 Excellent

"The property was well stocked and we were made to feel most welcome, with wine, s'mores makings, all of the staples you'd need. The owners, who have a place next door are very friendly and came over and started our fires, invited us to use all of the water toys (and there are lots), and made sure we had everything we needed. While the boating can be busy in front of the cottage, we spent a couple of hours at a great little sandbar directly across, and kayaked through to the larger lake."

Deer Hill Cottage on 5 Lake Chain

8/10 Good

"We stayed over labor day weekend 2025. The house was in rough shape (the VRBO photos blur out all the right places) but it was big enough for our family group and was pet friendly. The lock required an app download on your phone which never ended up working for us. I saw other reviews in 2023 mentioning there was not enough place settings but the owner added many more. There are still no dressers or benches or anywhere to unpack clothes. There is also no laundry for guest use which was also a pain (if there is no laundry, there should be more than one towel per person for a week's stay). The bedroom layout is the king bed is upstairs, and the two queen rooms are downstairs. The second bathroom is in one of the queen bedrooms. The day bed is off the dining room and has glass french doors with no curtains. The table now seats 8. There was a gas grill that worked great. Also to note, there are cameras with microphones on the front of the house right next to the picnic table and and back of the house (by the grill) which was NOT disclosed in the listing, (and creepy in my opinion.) When we checked in, we were informed that we were responsible for taking the trash to the landfill (no trash could be left at the house during checkout) which was also not in the listing and not convenient. Overall though the house worked well for us. Great views of the lake! If we were there during warmer days we would have taken advantage of the giant dock at the lake. "
