About this property

Breathtaking views from rustic cottage atop the Edge of Kennisis Lakes!

Affectionately nicknamed 'Castle Aidan', this year-round family cottage offers over 3,500 square feet of living space which comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests.

Take in the breathtaking and unobstructed views of beautiful Little Kennisis Lake from countless vantage points both inside and out.

A well-stocked kitchen offers a fridge, stove, microwave, toaster oven, dishwasher, kettle, and coffee makers (regular, Espresso, and Keurig). You may also find a collection of spices in the cupboard. The water is drinkable as it comes from a drilled artesian well 400 feet underground and undergoes a filtration and reverse osmosis process.

An entertaining games room with basketball, video game arcade, pool table, poker table, darts, and board games along with an outdoor BBQ, indoor wood fireplace and outdoor fire pit (firewood included) are provided for guests' enjoyment and use. In-floor radiant heating in the games room will keep you cozy during the winter.

Other winter experiences to enjoy:
1. Snowmobiling at the Haliburton Forest and Wildlife Reserve (9 minutes away) considered the top 10 snowmobiling trail in North America. Our lot accommodates sled trailers of various sizes.
2. Dog sledding at Winterdance Tours or North Ridge Ranch
3. Wolf Centre at the Haliburton Wolf Centre
4. Skiing or Snowboarding at Sir Sam's
5. Guided Ice Fishing

If you are a foodie, take time to pick up some yummy treats from the West Guildford Shopping Centre. We love the butter tarts and many people enjoy the sausages. The baked goods (seasonal goodies and sprinkled donuts) at the Foodland in town is also wonderful. Finally, the Korean Fried Chicken at K pub Chicken is awesome!

Bell Fibre high-speed internet provides consistent speeds for streaming your favourite apps on Amazon Fire Stick TVs or Zoom calls while you "work from home" at the cottage.

Enjoy a game of badminton in the large open backyard overlooking the lake or walk down a set of stairs to over 130 feet of waterfront with deep clean water off the dock great for swimming, fishing or water sports (paddle board, kayak, and canoe are provided). A public boat launch is located only a few minutes away and the Marina is close by on Kennisis Lake if you wish to rent a watercraft.

The main level of this Cottage is wheelchair friendly with a ramp leading to the front door, Murphy bed, low bathroom sink, and walk-in shower.
