With 7 bedrooms, each accompanied by its own ensuite bathroom (excluding the powder room) and featuring in-floor heating, this cottage offers the utmost comfort and privacy. Situated on an expansive plot of land, you’ll enjoy the serenity and seclusion it provides.

Every modern luxury has been thoughtfully incorporated into this retreat, including Air
Conditioning, high-speed unlimited WIFI internet, top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, and two large flat-screen TVs with a PS4 gaming system.

The property is further enhanced by 90 acres of rolling hills and wooded landscapes.

During the summer months, indulge in swimming and various water activities such as kayaking, canoeing, stand-up paddleboarding, and sailing (powerboat rentals are available at the local marina for waterskiing enthusiasts). In winter, this enchanting destination transforms into a wonderland, offering ice skating, cross-country skiing, and phenomenal snowmobiling along the extensive 400 km Haliburton trails. Additionally, downhill skiing can be enjoyed at the nearby Sir Sam’s Ski resort, just a 30-minute drive away (including gourmet dining if you want a break from cooking.)

Impeccable attention to detail is evident throughout the cottage. Delight in gathering around the custom Walnut dining table, which comfortably seats 12.

Incredible Place!! The best Ontario has to offer!
WOW! What a great experience. I have stayed in places all over Ontario and around the world, and while not the least expensive place, this was incredibly good value! Exceptional log house, beautifully appointed (it is obvious they used an interior decorator to furnish the place). The entire house was spotless, clean, impeccable! The 6 bathrooms were all finished in Italian ceramic tiles with glass showers beautifully installed. All rooms were very specious surrounded by natural wood and the bedrooms included all linens, towels and bedding which was a nice touch. Great attention to detail like freshly sharpened kitchen caring knives, two automatic dishwashers so we never ran out of clean glasses (imported French ceramics) puzzles and dozens of board games for those rainy days. We had such a great experience with my wife all our children plus their friends with lots of space to spare. It is hard to make everyone happy when you have a large age difference, but the cottage struck a perfect balance – we were even able to work remotely for a few days with the internet without any issue. The property is extremely quiet and private with a massive 600 foot waterfront and a huge acreage for exploring. We will definitely be back. The place is a bargain compared with smaller less well appointed cottages in Haliburton. This place is a find!

The Best
Had the most amazing family week at this cottage. So quiet, so lovely, and the views are absolutely breathtaking. You would be foolish not to rent this place!

Beautiful, family friendly cottage in gorgeous Haliburton
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2-week family vacation at this spacious, new cottage. Beautiful, open-concept kitchen-dining-living area with an additional 2 seating areas on the lower and upper floors provided lots of space for a larger group to hang out inside the cottage. Located on a private 90 acres with an expansive waterfront, we enjoyed our watersports on the lake and sitting on the dock. If you are looking for a relaxing getaway with all of the amenities, this is the perfect spot. The cottage owners, Barb and Eric, were friendly, helpful and organized. We look forward to returning.

Amazing place, bathrooms not finished
This was a remarkable place for a multi-generational family retreat. Very clean. We only wish that the owner told us ahead of check-in day that 2 of the ensuite bathrooms weren’t finished. One only had a toilet (no sink) and the other didn’t have a shower. It wasn’t a big deal in the end and there were plenty of other bathrooms and a shower on each floor but it was a disconnect with our expectations. Check-in was an hour long tour with the owner (promised as 15 minutes) going over a 4 page checklist including how to use the fridge and microwave. We would have preferred a self-serve set of instructions for reference.

Exceptional property
My large extended family has been renting cottages for over a decade and this was by far our favourite property. The cottage is beautiful with plenty of room for a family of 14. The bedrooms are all large, beds very comfortable, kitchen extremely well equipped with plenty of cupboard and counter space and the great room is lovely with exceptional views of the lake. The dock is large and the water is clear and ideal for swimming. Lots of games and water toys made for a very fun week! We were sad to leave but look forward to next summer on Haliburton Lake. Thank you, Eric and Barb, for making this such a wonderful experience for all of us.
