This is the perfect cottage rental for a relaxing getaway. With a surge of a cabin phenomenon sweeping the imaginations of all city dwellers, there seems to be a renewed spirit of escapism. If you’re in a cozy cabin in the woods, away from the stressors of everyday life, all is good. Here’s my review of Cranberry Cabins.
Cranberry Cabins: An Airbnb in Haliburton
Positioned up a steep hill, the soaring trees tower over this tiny one-story cabin. The sunlight casts a soft glow that beams through the trees from morning to late afternoon. The gentle sound of the wind rustling through the leaves makes this an idyllic spot to relax and recharge.
Cranberry Cabins sits on a 2-acre lot making this completely private. This cottage rental is not waterfront but does offer seasonal views of Cranberry and Eagle Lakes. For lake access, you have to use public access which is a short drive or bike ride away. There is a large fire pit area perfect for those late-night star-gazing bonfires. Also an outdoor dining area for four.
The wildflower garden lines a pea-stone pathway that leads your eye to this rustic log home painted with a soft gray wash with a pop of red for its front door. Watch as bees and butterflies dance around the natural flowers spread throughout the lawn.
Welcome to Cranberry Cabins: a traditional log cabin
As you enter the log home you come into the main space where you will find living, dining and kitchen areas. Its warm and cozy interior offers you everything you might need.
Cranberry Cabins, a 1 room and 1 bedroom cabin is small but feels spacious. The stylized decor in light creams, grays and blues pulls all the spaces together. The best part is, Cranberry Cabins is dog-friendly! Our Vizsla, Henry, felt instantly at home here, as did we.
You will sleep soundly in this one-bedroom cabin in the cozy double bed. If you require more sleeping space the pull-out sofa offers another double bed. There’s also a cute seasonal bunkie offering 2 single beds on the property, perfect for kids who want their own space.
The bath and shower area is very roomy for the size of the cabin. Likely it would have been the second bedroom. The logs have been painted white making them light, bright and fresh.
