Our Victorian home has been an important part of Minden for over a century and a half. The main house was constructed of stacked timber in 1866. An addition was built in 1885 by 3rd owner, Englishman Michael Brown (top left in this 1892 photo) who served the township as treasurer, school trustee, postmaster and justice of the peace, occupying the house for 45 years.

Our stay at the Minden House Cottages was everything we hoped for. It was close to the river, clean, comfortable and a wonderful little get-away from the city. The house was beautifully decorated and sparkling clean and the hosts thought of so many little touches around the house to make our stay to perfection. The cottages are quick walk to a brewery and restaurants, LCBO, ice cream and many other things to do in the area. Our group had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend these cute little cottages to anyone looking to stay in Minden!

This is a great place for a break and a getaway from the city. Just off Hwy 35 and on the banks of the Gull River, these cottages are perfect for a vacation. They are well equipped and have all the amenities you need. The hosts Gord and Leslie are very friendly and ensure that your stay is pleasant and restful. The cottages are steps from the town centre and I'm sure that in better times the place is buzzing with activities at the restaurants and bars. We hope to come back here when the world is normal again.

Our family had a great stay at Minden House cottages. We stay in 'marigold' and it was perfect for our family our 5, including our dog. The river was conveniently across the street for swimming and floating. Gord and Lesley were wonderful hosts and very accommodating. They were easily available when we had any questions. We had access to a canoe, floating tubes and our own bbq.
The cottage was fully functional and sparkling clean. We would definitely stay again!! =)

We were lucky enough to stay at the Minden House cottages for a bit of an extended stay in April and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, well equipped, and convenient accommodation. Gordon and Lesley are friendly and attentive hosts (they have a beautiful pup as well) and anyone would be most happy and comfortable staying with them. We will most certainly recommend Minden House Cottages to anyone looking for a perfect get away or a place for overflow of guests to stay while in Minden. Thanks Gordon and Lesley!!

We stayed in the little Pines cottage for the long weekend, and absolutely loved it! Lesley and Gord are lovely hosts, and very helpful. Lesley gave us tons of information on what was going on in, and around, Minden. We had an issue with the coffee maker not working, but within 5 minutes Gord had brought over a replacement. The cottage itself was very well stocked with everything we could have asked for. It was neat, and very clean. It was perfect for 2 people. We borrowed Lesley and Gord's canoe and went for a canoe trip up the Gull River, so wonderful.

My favourite Bed and Breakfast in the Minden / Haliburton area. Breakfasts are delicious and beautiful presentation by Lesley Elliott. The 3 rooms in the Victorian style house are immaculate, very comfortable and Air Conditioned, thankfully! Five cabins of various sizes, pet friendly, also air conditioned. Highly reccommende!
