In the winter months, the cottage is extremely private as the cottages surrounding the Haven are seasonal and our neighbors do leave for the winter season.br- We have installed a brand new UV Filtration System, so no need to worry about bringing water with you! The tap water is safe to drink and cook with. If you prefer bottled water, is it available at any of the convenience stores close-by in Kinmount.br- Firewood is not included so please remember to pick up some firewood for your stay! There is firewood available for purchase at the the Shop n' Save in Kinmount on the way to the cottage. br- In the summer months, please make sure to bring along bug spray as the mosquitos and critters like to enjoy the cottage too!br- There is WIFI and a Smart TV at the cottage. Our Starlink internet connection is high speed and provides the perfect opportunity to work from the cottage.br- Firepit: please keep in mind that fires are permitted at night between the hours of 7pm and 7am.

The cottage is not fenced in, so please take care and keep an eye on your pets! br- Hills Haven is family and child friendly, but please keep a close eye on your kiddies around the river and hot tub! If you are bringing small children please be advised that you will need to bring your own travel crib.br- Please note that the water can only be accessed from the floating dock - there is no beach area or entry/exit point for pets to swim in the river. They are more than welcome to swim but would need to jump in off the dock and be lifted back out of the water.brbrWINTER STAYS:br- The cottage is located in an area with lots of wildlife and friends. It is recommended to not leave any food on the counters overnight as this can attract critters. You will notice sound devices plugged in throughout the cottage to deter critters - the sound should not be detectable for yourself or your pets. It is recommended to leave these plugged in for the majority of your stay.brbrThere is a driveway with enough parking for 4 cars. During winter months, the roads leading up to the driveway and the driveway will be plowed - however, we highly recommend winter tires as the road leading to the cottage is long and does have many hills.brbrGuests are welcome to park their boats, ATVs, and snowmobiles at the property. For more info on closeby boat launches and snowmobile trails, please visit the town of Minden website.br- Stays in the colder months are less frequent, so we have provided the correct chemical to keep the hot tub squeaky clean for you. Our cleaners always balance the hot tub, however in the event that no one has been at the cottage for a few days, we recommend adding the chemical to the hot tub at the beginning of your stay and after each use. You will receive a mobile guide before your stay with easy-to-follow instructions and we are available if you have any questions! br- During winter months, the river is off limits. Do not try to walk on the ice as the river is flowing and it is not safe to do so. Simply enjoy the view!brbrWe have included a guest welcome guide at the cottage that will outline everything you need to know about the Haven including nearby locations recommendations, parks and trails, and dining. This guide is available at the cottage as well as by email beforehand if you wish to view it beforehand to help you plan your stay!brbrShould you need anything during your stay or have any questions, please feel free to message us at anytime! We are committed to making sure you have a 5 star stay and are just a message away!brbrWe can't wait to host you and show you all that this riverfront paradise has to offer!

The Upper Deck: a private off-grid cabin looking out over picturesque Gull Lake

Minden, Ontario, Canada

With stunning views from the highest point on the lake, a wrap-around deck, wood-fired sauna with outdoor shower and 4+ acres of privacy, the Upper Deck is the perfect off-grid getaway for those who are looking slow down, relax, and unwind. If you're looking for a modern drywall-and-tile Muskoka party house, this isn't it. This is a place where you come to watch the smooth waters of the lake and listen to the sounds of the forest. If you're lucky, you'll see our local wildlife, which includes deer, foxes, porcupines, owls, eagles and more!brbrThe master bedroom upstairs has a queen bed, half-bath, and breathtaking views of the lake from a built-in desk (if you absolutely have to answer that one email, but we really recommend you don't). Downstairs is a full bath (shower only, no tub), but we highly recommend using the private and screened outdoor shower by the sauna (only occasionally will you get an audience of squirrels).brbrIf you're inclined to share this beautiful hideaway with your friends, adjacent to the main cabin are a pair of bunkies with their own shared deck. Each bunkie contains a built-in queen bed and sitting area with a loveseat, and has large windows that you can open to catch the night-time breeze up the cliff from the lake. For those times when you've got last-minute additions to your group, there is a queen-size pull-out couch in the main cabin.brbrThe highlight of this property isn't what's inside, though, it's what's outside. Nearly 1,000sq ft of deck wrap around three sides of the main cabin and give panoramic views down the length of Gull Lake, one of the largest lakes in the area. A picnic table, sun umbrella and outdoor seating (including two hand-finished wooden Muskoka chairs) mean you'll want to spend every spare minute you've got soaking up the sun and enjoying a cold drink (Coleman cooler provided, we recommend picking up ice and ice cream at Kawartha Dairy).brbrFor those days when the weather won't co-operate, there is a gorgeous screened-in porch with a day bed (which is amazing for afternoon naps even on sunny days). When the weather is a bit cooler, hidden under the deck is a cedar-panelled wood-fired sauna (firewood provided), and the previously-mentioned outdoor shower.brbrThe Upper Deck is off-grid and powered by solar. There is a backup generator in the event the sun suddenly takes an extended vacation, but you've got enough battery power for general living. High-draw and high-use appliances (hotplates, heaters, air-conditioners or big stereos) may draw down the batteries quickly and leave you in the dark. Our experience has been that if you're just using normal amounts of power (this includes high-draw items that are only used occasionally, like an electric kettle or an air fryer), the system will run indefinitely. Phone chargers, laptops, TVs, etc aren't going to cause a problem, even if it's been cloudy for a few days.brbrHeat is propane or wood. Both are provided, more details will be given once your booking is confirmed. We cut and split our own wood from the property, please do not bring in firewood from off-site (this can transport invasive species and diseases to our beautiful forest). We provide sparkless fire logs for the fireplace on the deck since there's no hearth to catch sparks from real wood.brbrThe property includes private waterfront on Gull River, with easy access to Gull Lake. The waterfront is about a 5min walk down a walking trail, a map will be provided once booking is confirmed. Please bring your own life jackets and water toys. For those of you bringing boats, there are several launches on the lake, or you can launch at Rotary Park in Minden and boat down the river to the lake. There are no dock facilities at the Upper Deck, however we have a place on the lake nearby (a 10 minute walk to the cabin) and we can generally arrange moorings for most types of boats. The lake has excellent fishing and is great for water sports or simply cruising around.brbrWe want you to enjoy your time at the Upper Deck as much as we do when we stay there, please treat it with love and respect and come back often. If you have any questions, special requests, or compliments, send us a message!brbrOur prices include everything. The only additional fees are the unavoidable ones that VRBO charges, nothing from us.
