Discover a charming 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom cabin nestled on the shores of Eagle Lake in Haliburton, Ontario. This rustic-chic vacation rental is situated on the historic grounds of a 19th-century cooperage, now known as The Cooperage. The century-old stone walls enclose this luxury retreat, where modern architecture meets the preservation of local history.
Enjoy 700 feet of private, sandy lakefront with southern exposure, providing a picturesque setting for various activities. Explore the scenic surroundings on foot, with snowshoes, or by water using kayaks, canoes, stand-up paddleboards, or floaties. The cabin offers a cozy ambiance, complete with a crackling fire and a communal feast option at the harvest dining table.
As you venture beyond The Cooperage, bask in the sunlight filtering through the trees onto Eagle Lake's gently sloping sandy-silt beach, ideal for families with small children. Glide across the calm waters in a canoe, kayak, or stand-up paddleboard. Take a leisurely stroll around the property to uncover historical relics like the cooperage's boiler room walls and nearby metal artifacts. The hot pond, once used for thawing timber, adds to the property's unique charm.
Inside The Cooperage, discover five bedrooms, four baths, and spacious, designer common areas designed for joyous gatherings with loved ones. The lake-view great room boasts 20-foot cathedral ceilings, large windows, and a wood-burning stone fireplace, creating a warm focal point for intimate conversations. The custom, fully-stocked, farmhouse-style kitchen with a center island invites socializing and culinary delights, from pancake breakfasts to evening feasts around the harvest dining table.
After meals, choose your preferred post-dinner activity: engage in conversations on the deck or by the lakefront fire pit, unwind in the sunroom with available WiFi, or indulge in the hot tub. Meanwhile, kids can retreat to the game room for ping-pong or Wii gaming, or enjoy a movie in the big screen media room. The Cooperage promises a unique blend of luxury, history, and recreational opportunities for a memorable vacation in Haliburton.
The Cooperage is conveniently located minutes from Sir Sam's Ski & Bike, Winterdance Dogsleds, Haliburton Forest & Wildlife Reserve and is just a short drive from Haliburton Village, where you'll find charming shops, restaurants, and local attractions.
