Hazenberg Hideaway

Experience cottage life at its finest. Our cottage, located on Big Straggle Lake in Harcourt Park, is a cozy and spacious cottage on a beautiful lake in the Haliburton Highlands.

The Hazenberg Hideaway is your opportunity to experience Big Straggle Lake’s year-round fishing, great swimming, and general exploration in one of our five boats. At your disposal, are a rowboat, two kayaks, and two pedal boats (one 2-person and one 5-person) that you may use to explore the lake, several islands, and even a hidden passageway to Little Straggle Lake. Our docks are large enough for sunning yourself on hot days or just hanging out with friends on the Muskoka chairs. There is a fire pit overlooking the lake with plenty of seating to host your group (and there should be a moderate amount of firewood at the ready), and a grassy area beside the cottage on which lawn games can be enjoyed, or time spent at the picnic table. We have a full size kitchen with a double sink, microwave, stove/oven, full-sized fridge, and BBQ (with extra propane tanks) for you to use. At your disposal are also many other personal appliances such as a coffee maker, toaster, Actifry (alternative to deep-fryer), George Foreman grill, electric kettle, and blender. There is plenty of storage space for whatever you bring up as well. The living room has a 50’ HD widescreen plasma TV, DVD player, and VCR. There is a small TV, DVD player, and VCR in the kids’ bunkbed room as well. We have satellite TV, lots of VHS tapes, and a few DVDs to watch; books to read; games to play; and even a classic Nintendo Entertainment System, should you find yourself stuck inside on a rainy day, or need something to do in the evening. In the living room, there is a wood-burning stove to which you may curl up, after you build yourself a fire in the evening. And yes, we have unlimited high-speed wi-fi.

Whether you choose to relax on the dock, go for a swim, enjoy the view of the lake from the deck, go for a hike, or enjoy some of the family friendly events run at the Harcourt Park community Centre, we are confident that you will enjoy your time here.

This is a non-smoking, no pets property.
