Why they chose this property
Nestled in the Haliburton Highlands, this bright and airy, rustic-luxury styled waterfront cottage on Kennisis Lake offers breathtaking sunrise views, pristine waters, and direct access to Haliburton Forest. Guests love the secluded feel, endless outdoor activities, and private elevated decks perfect for stargazing. Just minutes from Kennisis Lake Marina and hiking trails, this is the ideal spot for a peaceful, nature-filled getaway.
This property is very private and peaceful with the most spectacular commanding views. It is very well treed and so that you don't need to see our neighbours and feel like you have a 1/3 acre cottage resort all to yourself. This means that you can have that feeling of finally being away from it all and will have the privacy and serene surroundings to feel that you can exhale all your stresses away and relax into your well-deserved peaceful cottage holiday. (This is so important, many other cottages are built right next to their neighbours and you don't have that visual privacy that we are so fortunate to enjoy at our Kennisis Lake cottage)
- The sunrise looking out from the cabin over the lake is breathtaking...really. Photos do not do it justice. TIP: Best viewing is from the upper deck AND The upper floor bedroom… worth waking up early for.
- Also the upper deck is the perfect place to sit out on a quiet starry night to enjoy a glass of wine, endless view of the twinkling sky, and great conversation with loved ones.
- Two large wraparound cottage decks mean you can enjoy sun or shade all day long with a commanding and breathtaking view overlooking the lake as far as the eye can see
- Fire pit patio with oversized bright red Muskoka chairs and romantic bistro string lighting overhead. Here you will have a jaw-dropping view of the nighttime stars. Firewood with our compliments is there for you to enjoy
- Your own Hammock Village tucked away beneath the trees for reading, conversation, blissful afternoon naps
