"If you are looking for privacy and stunning views while still having all the amenities and more this is the place for your summer and winter getaway. For winter renters it is highly recommended that you have a 4 wheel drive vehicle and if you don't have one, it is highly suggested that you leave your vehicle at the top of the driveway."

Just wanted to say that the cottage is unbelievable and we had a really great time.
We are back home now and back to our routine but missing the Jones cottage already! We had a great time – the cottage was perfect for our family get-together. We were still cleaning up when Julie arrived – she seemed to think that the cottage was in fine shape so we are quite certain that we will not owe you for anything. Please let us know if we do. Thanks.
My husband made a call to the hospital in Haliburton – not sure if this was long distance or not. My Mother-in-Law took a fall as soon as we arrived at the cottage and ended up with a bloody nose. My husband took her to the hospital just to be sure that nothing was broken. Not a great start to our holiday, however, she was fine in the end and enjoyed the rest of the week – sore nose and all. The only other telephone calls we made were to Haliburton Forest & Wolf Center. My daughter and I did the Canopy Tour – was fantastic!!
We enjoyed the fishing – there is a hot spot directly across from the cottage – pedal boat distance – great fun! Over at Drag Lake the residents like to catch as many Rock Bass as possible and throw them away at the dump. Our youngest daughter caught a few and stuck them in the freezer of the beer fridge out of habit – I think they are still there – sorry about this – we were so busy cleaning everything else we forgot to remove them from the freezer.
Thank you – we enjoyed everything about the cottage and the area.
