Location
For those of you who are into smaller lakes, Cardiff Lake is an intimate lake in the Haliburton Highlands - the lake is spring-fed and landlocked. This cottage is conveniently situated on a country road off Hwy 648 just outside of Wilberforce where there is a good size food store (Foodland), restaurant, service station, banking, LCBO and convenience store for all your cottaging needs.
Bancroft is approximately 20 kilometres away and Haliburton is approximately 30 kilometres away from our cottage.
There is a large deck with a propane barbecue and patio furniture.
The property boasts a large grassy area with an outdoor fire pit and a small sandy beach and extra large dock with diving board, which is big enough for seating. The shoreline is a gradual entry into the water which has a sandy bottom. Perfect for families with small children.
If you like to fish, our lake is stocked with bass & rainbow trout and there are many lakes in the area with good fishing.
Our house rules: no smoking, no parties or events, pets permitted with additional pet fee.
No smoking inside the cottage.
