Overview
This is an ideal location for nature lovers and those who want to while away their cottage vacation canoeing, fishing or simply being idle on the river.
The Burnt River is a meandering stretch of water that wends its way through the Haliburton Highlands. A well kept secret, the riverbank is dotted with cottages whose owners value the peace and tranquillity this area is known for. No incessant buzzing of seadoos here as the only waterfcraft you are likely to see are canoes and kayaks and perhaps the occasional pedalboat. Avid canoeists and kayakers will enjoy the day-long trips which can start anywhere from the north end of Lake Kashawigamog through several portages and leading eventually to Canning Lake and the Drag River down to the dam in the town of Kinmount.
The chalet-style cottage is professionally decorated in a bright New England theme. Below the tung-n-groove cathedral ceiling, the walls reflect a rich yellow, periwinkle blue and white décor which ties in well with the comfortable furnishings, framed prints and marine collectables. The splash of scatter rugs on colourful laminated floors throughout the home adds to the coziness factor of this cottage.
The Great Room spans the width of the cottage overlooking the front lawn and providing a broad view of the riverfront. This room is dividing into two sections an entertainment area on one side and a play or lounge area on the other side. The kitchen and dining area are an open concept design where the rooms are together, yet separate, and can comfortably accommodate up to 8 people at the table. A large four-piece bathroom is conveniently located off the main hallway leading to the dining and kitchen areas, as is one of the three bedrooms.
Upstairs, the master bedroom opens up into the loft area which overlooks the living Room while providing a panoramic view of the lot leading to the river. This area is a great spot to curl up with a book or to just sit back and enjoy the scenery through the floor- to- ceiling windows. A small bathroom and a second bedroom with twin beds is tucked away on the back half of the cottage.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
