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!

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!

Summary: Beautiful, spacious cottage. All the matresses were very comfortable with cozy duvets. Lake water level was very low which made dock visits at night out of question with steep dock incline, but that is out of owners control. Will definitely stay again.
