About this property

Our little slice of heaven is a four season, 800 sq ft cottage, with three bedrooms and a full size, west-elm sectional sofa bed to sleep any overflow guests.

With floor-to-ceiling windows, this classic viceroy has a beautiful deck overlooking the lake where you can enjoy al-fresco dinners and a morning coffee; and a dock surrounded by 10 ft of water to jump into, plus a small cove that's perfect for little kids to wade and throw rocks into. Its a perfect getaway for all types of travel, from romantic getaways to family vacations.

Winter season guests can enjoy an active ice fishing community on the lake with snowmobile trails all over the community. A ski resort and Haliburton's town centre are both 30 minute drives away.

Guests can enjoy our two adult kayaks, two kids kayaks and a canoe to paddle around the lake.

A marina is a just a 10 minute drive down the road, offering boat gas, food trucks and general store needs, in addition to the Haliburton Forest Reserve and the area's wolf sanctuary. Guests can also enjoy easy access to Abbey Gardens, Medeco summer camp, Sir Sam's Ski Hill, Dimensions retreat, West Guilford and Haliburton's city centre within a 30-45 minute drive.

Kennisis

A lovely 3 bedroom cottage. Sunny and bright. Comfortable beds. Fully equipped kitchen and gas bbq on the sun deck. Sun deck with lovely views. Lots of nearby cottages but they are nearly invisible from the property. Nearest full grocery store about 30 min drive along paved roads. Snack store/milk etc about 20 minutes. Accèss to the water from the cottage is by uneven/natural steps with a handrail. We were allowed use of kayaks canoe and SUP. Adult life jackets were available. The water is deep enough for diving off the dock and is beautifully clear. The bottom is gravel/pebble. It shelves very quickly from the shore. We had a brilliant time.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah + Matt

Hi there!
We're a married couple who have spent our childhood summers in Northern Ontario and now we get to share our love for the area with all of you. As hosts, we are always available if you need us for anything - but also respectful of your space and need to get away from it all. Enjoy our little slice of heaven!
