About this property

• Charming, comfortable 3 bedroom home
• Situated on a beautiful, clean, quiet, canoe lake
• Private dock
• Private, partially treed and partially sunny lakefront property
• Free WiFi, unlimited usage , suitable for remote work / working from home

This year-round home sits on the north shore of Deer Lake and enjoys 90 metres / 296 feet of private, south facing pristine waterfront.

Deer Lake is located in the ruggedly beautiful Haliburton Highlands, minutes from Algonquin Park. There is no marina on this lake.

Approximately one half (46%) of the land abutting Deer Lake is unceded, crown land. It is a clean, quiet canoe lake.

Star gaze at a spectacular night sky that is free of light pollution year round. Fall asleep listening to the call of loons on the lake in the summer.

This all-season home is clean, well-maintained and newly re-decorated with new furniture, freshly painted walls, new floors and new window coverings. The dishes, cutlery, pots and pans in the kitchen are new as well.

The eat-in kitchen is bright and sunny. The living room windows are nearly floor to ceiling and face east and south over the lake. Virtually all one can see is a beautiful view of the lake and the unoccupied land on the opposite shore.

The house is solidly built with a field stone foundation and stone porch overlooking the lake. A furnace provides adjustable heat for warm and comfortable winter visits.

The half-acre grounds are treed except for a generous sunny grassed area around the house. There are no other visible cottages or neighbours, although adjacent, year-round neighbours are close by.

The dock ends with a conversational sitting area in the sun.

Many people choose this location expressly for the privacy and quiet afforded. We ask that guests please be respectful and do not make excessive noise.

Just what an ex-pat needs

Cottage country, in the fall. Perfect. This was a perfect property for myself and a friend to reconnect, cook food, go for walks, and a paddle in the beautiful quiet lake. I admit to packing more cold weather clothes than we actually needed, that's how fair the weather ended up. The cottage was well equiped for our days and nights together and I wish we had even more time - it was quiet, clean, had many more thoughtful amenities than any other I've experienced. We'll be back!

great place to get away from it all

We really liked the location of the property - it's private and peaceful as described in the listing. Roz is super helpful and provides A LOT of detailed information! The place itself is simply furnished, but it's got everything you need for a get-away (we particularly liked the supplies in the pantry behind the kitchen). All in all, a great place to escape from it all!

Annual Gathering for 3 Couples

Clean, Neat and Quiet cottage with all necessary supplies. The only recommendation is if there are two more canoes be much better for us as we have 3 couples (6 adults) but only one canoe

Deer lake is great!

Nice cottage with great view of Deer Lake. Very comfortable, private, clean place without being to fancy. Very quiet lake with lovely water and south view. Could have a better area for hanging out if you had more that a few people but came with all you need for a good stay.
