Cottage holiday rentals in Minden Hills

This is a beautiful place to stay, right on the lake with an amazing view, and a friendly beaver right next door! Our highlights were the hot tub, the fire pit and kayaking on the lake. This spot would be amazing in the Summer. The house is clean and well set up, the 2 downstairs bedrooms are small but just fine for sleeping. There is plenty of room in the rest of the house.

Great cozy cottage with a private lake entrance. Miles was a great host. Hot tub & sauna were very enjoyable and overall the place was great.

Thank you so much for the wonderful stay at Jeffrey Lake Cabin – we absolutely loved it! The place is truly special, and we really appreciated all the thoughtful touches. Everything was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. Thanks again for being such a great host. We’ll definitely be keeping this spot in mind for next year! Sooraj

Wait.. there is no option for 6 stars!?! Wow, where to begin!?! From check-in to check-out, our group had a fantastic time. Our host was super friendly and easy to connect with at all times. Our group had 8; 6 adults, a teen & a child. Everyone was entertained at all times from the karaoke machine, the games, the hot tub, the firepit, the kayaks & canoes, the swimming, and the stairway to haven, which was truly breathtaking taking!!! The town of Halliburton was a short 10 minutes away where we enjoyed some shopping, lunch & coffee. We were celebrating my parents 50th wedding anniversary; 78 & 73 years young and they rocked that staircase several times! We frequent Air B N Bs often and this is by far my new favourite. There is already talk of a return visit in the future. Highland Bliss is gourgeous, loaded with all the amenities, is spotless, super comfortable and my family is so thankful to Marcia for allowing us to visit her beautiful space and create lasting memories!

We had an amazing weekend getaway with 10 of our closest friends! The place was exactly as described — clean, spacious, and perfect for a group. The kitchen was well-equipped, the common areas were great for hanging out, and we really appreciated the little touches that made it feel welcoming. The host was responsive and made check-in super easy. Would definitely recommend this spot for anyone looking for a fun and relaxing group stay!

Wonderful place to stay! very clean and exactly as depicted in description and photos! Tip: if you come in the spring, bring bug repellent!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage in the woods! It was clean, spacious, and incredibly peaceful — the perfect nature escape. The hot tub was amazing, and the game room was such a fun bonus. We also loved how cozy and comfortable the beds were, and the living room and big kitchen made it easy to relax and enjoy meals together. Just a heads-up: there are quite a few mosquitos, so be sure to bring some bug spray. Other than that, everything was perfect. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a quiet getaway surrounded by nature!

My friends and I had a wonderful weekend at this cottage. The lakefront property is beautiful, clean, and our favourite part was watching the gorgeous sunsets that could been seen from the terrace as well as from inside. Jesse was easy to reach and made sure that everything ran smoothly and that we were having a good stay.

Jessica was wonderful, and her place is absolutely charming—cozy, cute, and beautifully surrounded by nature. Grateful for the experience and would happily book again!

We had a great stay at Jonathan’s place! Everything was just as described, Jonathan was quick to respond all of our questions. The kitchen amenities were top notch, it had everything we needed to prepare all of our meals. We also really enjoyed the new bbq grill. The location was easy to find. The house has an amazing view of the lake, which is great for swimming and kayaking. I’d definitely recommend Jonathan’s place!

Beautiful place! Can’t wait to return. The fishing is fantastic here! Thank you so much Stephanie you are a fantastic host !!!

We happened to come during mayfly season, so there were tons of them outside and we couldn’t have a campfire at night, which was a bit disappointing. But the host was super kind and helpful, and the place had everything we needed. During the day, we still got to go boating and had a nice BBQ, and spent three amazing nights indoors. Thanks again for the lovely stay!

This cottage was amazing. The place was entirely as described and the prior reviews were spot on. Roxana was very helpful, gave tons of recommendations and was very kind and responsive. Kitchen was well stocked, the beds were super comfortable, the AC was perfect and I literally can’t think of a single critique. A really nice touch with the s’mores station that my kid basically ate all of. We will definitely be back!!

We had such a wonderful time staying at Rowan Cottage! It was my husband and I with our little Boston Terrier and everything was perfect! The place was spotless when we got there and the instructions to check in were very easy to navigate. The place felt brand new. It was just the right amount of space for us. It is a fairly private area and the waters were very peaceful, not a lot of traffic on the water at all! The views from the cottage were amazing - perfect for the morning coffee! Appliances were great, and the washroom was so clean. There were awesome board games and vinyl records to jam to. As well as a Bluetooth speaker to connect. We were never bored! For anyone looking to visit, there are a fair bit of mosquitos so remember bug spray! Overall an amazing experience and highly recommend!

We booked this cottage on a whim with virtually no notice to the owner who was flexible with our check-in making it worth our 1 night stay. The cottage is so spacious with lots of room to lounge, eat and sleep. It was clean and comfortable. The waterfront is the real MVP here - pristine water, pure sand, great doc and decks.

This was our fourth stay and it felt like home. Always love coming back and even though the weather wasn’t great, there was plenty to do with the sauna, records, VHS tapes and games.

Our stay at Dmitry’s place was nothing short of incredible. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect & the experience felt truly blissful. The property was exactly as described and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. It was the perfect escape, and we felt right at home. What really stood out was Dmitry’s exceptional hospitality. He was not only a fantastic host, but also incredibly thoughtful and attentive. He made himself available at all times, ensuring we had everything we needed. During our stay, we were hit by a snowstorm, and Dmitry truly went above and beyond. He took swift action to ensure our safety. He had the snow removal done efficiently and made sure we were able to get around without any issues. We had an unforgettable experience, and we highly recommend staying at his place whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat or need a host who’s truly there for you when things go awry. Thank you, Dmitry!

A cozy, large cottage in an absolutely beautiful location! Christopher was very quick to respond and answer our questions. Definitely recommend staying here!!

Great spot. We stayed in the middle of winter. The place was amazing, Rayna was very responsive and we had a great time. A great place to stay for sure!! Fire place was well stocked and the hottub heated up for us. The place had everything we needed for a long weekend.

Third time - still a charm! Our favourite airbnb - wonderful house with wonderful hosts. This time we visited in the autumn to enjoy the changing leaves and cooler temperatures. We loved our stay! As always, the house was super clean with all the comforts of home, great king bed in the main bedroom always made up beautifully when we arrive. We highly recommend this rental to anyone looking to relax in peace and quiet, but have the convenience of a town with all the amenities - restaurants, ice cream, LCBO, etc, just 10 minutes down the road. For those with pets - this is a very safe yard for dogs, well away from any main road and lots of room to run around on the grass and swim in the river in the summer. We are already looking forward to our next visit! Thank you!

Our stay at Darren's place was perfect. The sandy beach and plentiful ammenities for the kids was exactly what we needed. There were a few hiccups but the host is very responsive and helpful. I would recommend this spot for any family looking for a great getaway without having to bring too much with them. Thanks for everything Darren, we would love to come back again!

Beautiful cottage with a spectacular view of the lake! Very quiet and peaceful for rest and relaxation. The fireplace made the cottage even more cozy on some very cold winter days during our stay. The bed was very comfortable and the entire cottage was well set up for a relaxing atmosphere. Everything was easy to find and anything you could possibly need was there. We loved that amenities like grocery stores and restaurants were close by and easily accessible.

Fantastic hosts and stay at Algonquin Delight! Well equipped with great cottage gear for a very comfortable stay! Power went out following a big storm and the hosts were very responsive! This was very much appreciated. Power came back shortly after. There were great options for board games and big windows for plenty of light to pass the time without power during the storm! Thanks for a great stay!

We had the absolute pleasure of staying at Priolo on the Bay – Moody Escape, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Andy is a truly exceptional host. Every detail was thoughtfully curated to create a luxurious yet cozy escape. The cottage itself is immaculate – modern, stylish, and unbelievably comfortable. It strikes the perfect balance between high-end living and rustic charm. Tucked away in the heart of nature, it still offers every convenience imaginable: from fully stocked cutlery and snacks to campfire treats, firewood for both the sauna and outdoor firepit, a gas oven, extra lighters—you name it, it was there.The interiors are spotless and beautifully designed, making the entire space feel like a warm, peaceful retreat. Sitting by the fire, unwinding in the sauna, or just enjoying the serene forest surroundings—it all felt like a dream.This is the kind of place that makes you not want to leave!
