Dysart et al Barnum Lake Hotels

"the property is showing its age. We did have a good time however. Staff was very accommodating."

"The house is very comfortable and the kitchen was quite well equipped. One thing lacking though was placemats for the dining table, and we were told to use the pot holders for protecting the table. Also, the 4 slice toaster only worked for 2 slices as it had been damaged on one side, so that wasn't great when there's 6 people.The décor is very tasteful, however there could be a few more pieces of furniture than just the basics. It would also have been nice to have a coffee table in the living room for our drinks and snacks. A coffee table in the lower level games room would also be useful and maybe put a cabinet under the TV to store the games instead of them just being piled on the floor. We really didn't spend much time in that room though as it was too cold to sit down there for any length of time. All in all, we enjoyed our relaxing Haliburton break with family. "

"Fantastic stay at "Away" in Haliburton! Family spent 3 nights in this peaceful, fully equipped home. Thoughtful attention to all details before and during our stay by an attentive, caring host. Asif has clearly thought of every detail that made our time here effortless. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommended. Thank you Asif!"

"Pleasant. "

"The cottage was clean with excellent amenities. We had some safety concerns about the wood deck, stairs and dock, which had some rot setting in. We made sure to be careful in those areas. The setting was lovely and quiet and tre swimming and kayaking was excellent. Overall we were happy with our stay. "
