Beautiful Waterfront Cottage on Kennisis Lake

A truly stunning waterfront cottage on Kennisis Lake located in the Algonquin Highlands in the heart of Haliburton. Spectacular views of the region's most desirable Kennisis Lake, with 115ft of shoreline within gorgeous natural surroundings, combined with beautiful accommodation.

It is the perfect couples retreat or family vacation destination! If you are looking for privacy and relaxation, look no further! Excitement and adventure are just moments away!

This Kennisis Lake waterfront cottage features large bedrooms, a living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a dining room, a fully equipped kitchen, a guest area, a laundry area, a work-from-home area, and a one-and-a-half bathroom. The cottage has high-end hardwood floors throughout.

A large 48x12ft deck, with a perfect lake view, is yet another delight and can be enjoyed in the sun or shade all day long. On the deck, there is an outdoor sectional sofa, a large acacia wood table with comfortable seating for 8, and a premium gas barbeque.

The lower sun deck, equipped with a propane fire pit table, offers amazing views of the lake and it is an excellent place for a morning coffee. It is considered an ideal waterfront gathering spot!
For your enjoyment, there is also a fire pit with Muskoka chairs and a lovely lake view.

The 20x12ft floating dock is the best spot for relaxing, swimming, and playing water sports. There is a canoe, 2 kayaks, a stand-up paddleboard (SUP) and 2 persons inflatable kayak for you to use as well as life jackets varying in size. Lounge, tan, or watch the kids jump off the dock!

We have a boat that can be rented as well if you are interested! It is a Rinker Captiva 186, 19ft bowrider for up to 8 people, with a 190HP V6 inboard engine. If you are interested in renting the boat during your stay, please let us know and we can provide you with more details.
If you are coming with your own vessel the public launching pad is located 300m from the cottage down the road at the nearby bridge.

The cottage is just minutes from the 100,000 acres Haliburton Forest and Wildlife Reserve with its groomed hiking and biking trails and world-famous Wolf Observatory. Nestled amongst towering Pine and Birch Trees, our cottage on Kennisis Lake is a pristine gem in the heart of Ontario's vacation paradise.

Our slice of heaven is situated on little Kennisis Lake with calmer waters and immediate water access to Kennisis Lake. The two lakes together are more than 15km long with lots of room for adventure and crystal-clear water for swimming, diving, relaxing, canoeing and kayaking – you name it!

The kitchen comes fully equipped with all of the small & large stainless steel appliances & utensils needed to create a delicious meal to share with family and friends. A toaster, coffee maker, espresso machine, waffle maker, and blender are available for guests. There are ample dishes, cups, glasses and small utensils. Basic spices, tea & espresso coffee are provided. The kitchen has a beautiful large island which is the best spot to enjoy some warm waffles and coffee or tea in the morning!

The cozy living room is furnished with a comfy leather sectional, 50” smart TV(with Internet cable box with many channels and movies, Netflix, Prime Video, etc), and board games. Our Wi-Fi is with Bell (fibre up to 1Gbps download and 100Mbps upload) and is excellent for those wishing to WFC..."work from the cottage". Just off of the living room, we have a large dining room that seats 8 people. This cottage is an entertainer's dream!
