Holiday rentals in Shadow Lake

We recently held our annual family birthday weekend at Natalia's place with a multi-generational crew that spanned 1.5 years to 90 years young! This incredible log cabin met all of our needs. The bedroom on the main floor meant an accessible space for our great aunt, the games room in the basement was such a fun space for our teens. The sliding doors to the wide front porch and the giant yard with fire pit, play structures and trampoline gave us lots of space to play. Plenty of fridge and freezer space and bathrooms on every level was really helpful. Natalia was very responsive and kind as a host. Balm Beach is gorgeous and walkable. There are some really cute restaurants and coffee shops close by (shout out Cawaja General Store and Balm Beach Bar & Smokehouse!) No place is perfect - I note the stairs to the basement are rather steep, and a few suggestions were shared with our awesome host, including about kitchen amenities, but this is a pretty spectacular place to stay for a group.

Beautiful home! Great amenities! Great host! Would love to come in summer!

Even though we had a short stay, it was a great unit rent. Spotless and very comfortable.

Second stay for our family and we were not disappointed. Lovely place for some R&R and easy access to town to explore. Thanks again!

We met Patricia upon check-in and she had prepared the place for us in the most welcoming way. The house has such a warm cabin feeling, is super spacious and the surroundings are beautiful. The place has everything families need in terms of spaces, linens, activities, etc… We were lucky enough to enjoy the presence of a deer coming in the garden on our first night and so many other animals. Highly recommend for a quiet stay in nature in a big cottage!

The host is very accommodating and understandable. Will definitely rebook again when we come back for summer!

Very comfortable stay. The place was super clean and had all amenities. We had great time.

Spacious unit with a great view of the water! Located so close to Haliburton and Minden. Located off the main highway so you can enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The condo has everything we needed to enjoy our stay and more. Kitchen and bathroom were very clean. Our host contacted us prior to check to provide check-in instructions - which was greatly appreciated. Parking spot is located very close to the unit. We would stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay. The property was beautiful and felt just like at home. The kitchen was well outfitted and made for excellent cooking opportunities for the emerging chefs in our family. The house is huge and had every amenity that we would have wanted. It is also a short drive to Barrie which made for a nice day trip when we needed one. This is a nice place; we hope to stay again.
