Haliburton County Cottage Rental Market Update – Spring 2025

By Jess Wilson • April 9, 2025
The cottage rental market in Haliburton County is off to an interesting start this year. While overall demand is holding steady, changes in traveler behavior and new short-term rental (STR) regulations are shaking things up. Strong Demand for Affordable Rentals Budget-friendly cottages are booking well as many renters feel the financial squeeze. However, high-end rentals priced above $5,000 per week are seeing slower uptake. Off-season interest has also remained relatively soft. Despite that, there are signs pointing to a stronger summer:  Domestic travel may rise due to ongoing U.S. tariff tensions and a growing “Buy Canadian” mindset. A weaker U.S. dollar could encourage more American tourists to explore cottage country north of the border.
