About this property
Family-friendly cottage right on Drag River
**Booking 7-night stays Saturday to Saturday for summer 2026** A cozy, family-friendly cottage on a well treed lot located right on the Drag River. This unique space offers a quiet getaway surrounded by nature. Inside you'll find 2 bedrooms (Bedroom 1 has 1 queen bed; Bedroom 2 has a bunk bed with double bed on bottom and single bed on top), a recently renovated bathroom, eat-in kitchen and family room with futon. We also have a bunkie with bunk beds and a futon. **Please note - the bunkie is unavailable during the winter months as it is not heated**
Enjoy the sounds of nature on the large deck or sit around the camp fire. Entertain yourself by swimming, fishing, canoeing, tubing down the river right to our dock, sun bathing, walking/hiking or cozying up to watch a movie through Apple TV, Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or our expansive DVD collection. Sit back, relax and enjoy your time here!
Short driving distance to hiking trails, restaurants, Minden Whitewater Water Preserve, Minden River Walk, and the famous Kawartha Dairy.
