Modern 4 bd, 3 bath Cottage on Boshkung Lake, Haliburton

We found our stay to be relaxing,comfortable ,thoughtfully supplied kitchen,spacious,...truly enjoyed every moment; wish it could have been longer.

The cottage and views are impressive. I won't repeat what are the positives are that others mentioned, but list a few negatives. The listing says firewood is available and I connected with the host prior to confirm. The host confirmed it wasn't available and would try to provide some, which didn't happen. This was a big reason we picked the place, and we had to find wood in the area. There is no sun umbrellas on the two decks on the water, or the two decks at the cottage, which made it a challenge to stay outside. Frankly I've never been at a cottage without these. Lastly, there are two kayaks and one canoe which is great, however there were 2 kayak paddles, one which was ok and other was broken. No canoe paddles available. I did reach out and was told there should be canoe paddles. We looked to no avail.

It was our very first time to Algonquin. We enjoyed outdoor activities at the property on the first day, and stayed indoor for the last two days due to bad weather. We had lots of fun with Kayaking, canoeing, fishing, taking pictures, playing board games, playing Switch. The view of fall on the lake was fantastic. We even gave up visiting provincial parks nearby. It exactly like you enjoy painting pictures when you looked out the windows. The house warmed up quickly and evenly with floor heating and HRV. Very relaxing and comfortable staying. Definitely want to return there next year.

This cottage experience lived up to its pictures and description. Overall, it was a great time and fantastic getaway ! The cottage is really nicely appointed with many amenities, including all spices and cleaning supplies, linens and towels. As well as 4 bedrooms with a den/ sitting area in the bottom level with bunk beds for use. The location is great as well, and is nicely situated on the lake, with the sun deck facing west for a beautiful sunset over the lake. Kayaks and canoes are available for use, and there is a nice sundeck on the water with new swim pad just off shore. We loved the fire pit and the supply of firewood! The only issue was the BBQ, this needs an upgrade, it struggled to get to 300 degrees. Besides this, everything was great. We would definitely come back!

What a stunning view of the lake! Pictures don’t do it justice! We enjoyed the limited time we had to experience the Rock. Host is very responsive, thank you Stephen.

To echo many of the other comments this cottage came as advertised. It has many beautiful finishes, and was very well equipped. We appreciated the two fridges for our family of six. Also appreciated that there were some cloth Grocery bags left in the pantry as we forgot a tote bag to take snacks, drinks and sunscreen and towels down to the lake. Loved the campfire, set up with the Adirondack chairs and stone seating! We didn’t want to leave!

Really fun time for a group of thirtysomethings! We loved the house/architecture and made use of all the rooms. Amazing views from the living room, huge back porch, back porch, and even the master bedroom/shower! Walk down to the water was not too far, but steep, and we loved the docks. Made use of the canoe and kayak.

Beautiful space indoors and out. For us, it was a perfect combo of luxury and privacy. Although we used the stay for a romantic getaway, I can see that it would be perfect for a family. Great fishing (I caught 6 large mouth bass in 20 minutes just off the dock!) and the fire pit was a nice end of night spot. If you are not steady on your feet, then I recommend driving down to the end of the driveway and then walking around to the dock since the forest and stairs can be harder for those with accessibility issues. Indoors, the TV set up worked great and the kitchen is stocked with all the tools, tableware and gadgets you'll ever need. Just bring food. The showers are dreamy! You might lose your partner or guest for an hour since it's such a pleasure. You'll have to be OK with no A/C but our stay had low temps for August, so we did not experience full sun. I prefer windows open anyway. There's also a partially sub-grade level which is cooler and quiet, like a bunker. Great for kids or for hiding away. If it was a bit less expensive, we'd likely book it often but as it is, it is a splurge, though worth the cost as it was relaxing, beautiful, and downright swanky for the woods.

This is a beautiful property, the location on Boshkung Lake is great. The check in process was seamless, and the host responded promptly when any questions were asked. The only reason this is not a 5 star rating is the lack of air conditioning. On warm summer days it can get very hot inside the house. There are fans everywhere which move the air but when the temperatures rise to high 20's or 30's the heat inside the house is very uncomfortable.

We had an amazing time. The property was gorgeous the views were breathtaking. 10 adults stayed here comfortably. Fully furnished house and kitchen. Brought my own pots and pans as I was unsure of what would be there. But nothing was needed. Like the ad says, just bring your food. The dock was beautiful with steps into the water and you can dock a boat there also just caution with the rocks. Definitely recommend this property.
