Girls Weekend Getaway
Communication with host was excellent. Beautiful property and the hot tub was a great addition. Cottage was smaller than the pictures indicated, especially the livingroom/kitchen table. Luckily the weather was fantastic and we spent more of our time outdoors. The 3rd bedroom was very cramped and the person in the bunk had to climb over the bed to get out. Our luggage had to remain in the livingroom as there was no floor space or dresser available in there. The other 2 bedrooms were roomy and the extra bunkie was also a good size with the queen bed and bunk beds. Overall though we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Minden Getaway
We brought our adult sons and their partners and our infant grandson to The Cozy Cottage Getaway for a week. It was ideal for the grassy area, Bunky, the dock, shallow entry into the lake and water equipment and roads leading away from the cottage for running were very picturesque. There are plenty of chairs and the deck is large with a lovely area dedicated to a covered tent that you can dine in. It was so helpful that all linens were provided. The shower in the bathroom was roomy and had great water pressure. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you would need. The only appliance we brought was our waffle maker. Additionally, it was such a bonus to have laundry in the cottage. The lake was lovely and very pleasant temperature-wise (August). The paddleboards, kayaks and canoes were wonderful additions to our stay. Although the guest book indicated others had good luck fishing in the lake our son's did not.... granted we did not have a fish-finder The fishing boat, we were willing to pay the fee for, did not have a working motor. Additionally, the cottage says "Dog Friendly" and a fee is paid to bring the dog which is perfectly fine, but the owner inquired before our arrival what the breed of the dog was. This would imply that they are dog friendly for certain breeds. We would definitely return to this cottage.

Peaceful and Quiet
A Peaceful and Quiet place to kick back and listen to the sounds of the lake. We were able to kayak around the lake and see the wildlife close-up. The water was warm for swimming and clear to see all the way to the bottom. Thanks Gen for hosting!

Great Stay At Cozy Weekenders
Had an absolutely wonderful time at Cozy Weekenders Cottage. The property is near the end of a quiet road so perfect for those looking for tranquility. At the same time, it is close to the two very charming villages of Minden and Haliburton with no shortage of available hikes nearby, as well as other activities. The cottage itself is well maintained and has a lot of grassy area right on the water with enough water toys for everyone. Perfect for a bonfire and viewing stars. The owner was great with communication and recommendations and was pleasantly accommodating. Would definitely recommend!

Stayed with a few friends for a weekend away. The property is beautiful with a great dock, plenty of toys for the water and plenty of space for 5 adults to stay comfortably. The hot tub was a great bonus and communication with the host (Gen) was very quick and helpful.

A Relaxing Getaway
Such a beautiful cottage nestled on an open waterfront property. Very quiet area gave a sense of peace and tranquility while appreciating nature. The large ceiling to floor windows overlooked the view of the lake and property. The beds were extremely comfortable and the shower was large and clean. The weather was seasonably cold however we stayed toasty warm in the evenings with the large firepit area with plenty of seating. The host was wonderful and very easy to communicate with. Looking forward to coming again!

Hereward's Final Farewell
We were in the area to scatter my late husband's ashes. The cottage was clean and comfortable. The view of the lake through the glass front of the cottage was lovely and peaceful. There is a great shower in the bath and everyone was comfortable in their beds. We really appreciated the large dining table.

Autumn fun
We had a great couple of days to enjoy the fall colours at Genievievcottage. The weather was unseasonably warm so the screened in outdoor eating area was a welcome spot. The dock has wonderful views and was a quiet morning spot for coffee.
