Family trip

This cottage ticked all the boxes—convenient to Haliburton and amenities, small, quiet lake, water “toys” for the whole family, lovely dock and fire pit, plenty of sleeping space and a well equipped kitchen.

Good Times with Family at Stillwater Lakehouse

12 in our family attended. Ages 9 to 70 and everyone had a great time. The cottage was well equipped and suitable for our large group. Beds were comfy. Even the weather cooperated. Lots of time was spent in the lake, on water raft, and in canoes and kayak. We enjoyed the campfire pit. Lots of areas to spread out inside to seek out quiet times when needed.

Family Getaway

A well-loved cottage, in transition, with a few upgrades. Suitable for large groups and welcoming of pets. Well equipped cooking facilities. There are a lot of steps and the cottage is built on a hillside. It is not suitable for anyone with knee or back challenges. The bunkie is unsuitable for sleeping. We enjoyed the waterfront.

A lovely cottage but beware it’s 75 steps from car to lake.

A lovely loved in feel to a cottage that comfortably fits a large party. There are far too many steps for anyone with knee or back issues to enjoy the lake and the bunkie is in great need of attention to truly qualify as an additional sleep space. Appropriate for teens through to fit middle aged but no small kids and no seniors. The limitations of the space need to be made clearer in ad.

Portage Lake cottage review

Great open space cottage with lots of room for all of us. Very easy to book. Quite cluttered. Lots of old and battered items everywhere. Very steep driveway that was difficult to navigate once it rained. Lovely property that just needs some TLC. Overall a good stay.
