A truly stunning four-bedroom, one-and-a-half bathroom, 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!

My 4 friends and I stayed at this cottage for 4 days to celebrate our 10 years of being friends and we had a great time. The cottage was perfect for what we needed and Bob was always very quick at responding to any messages we sent. The Lake is so beautiful and peaceful, would definitely recommend this property!

I spent 4 nights here with my 3 adult children in May 2024. The cottage was as advertised, beautiful location right on the lake. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. Sleeps in 8 people with one full bathroom and one two piece washroom. Open concept of living and dinning rooms is spacious . Balcony had a BBQ, a big dining table and patio furniture. We took 2 canoes out on the water every day. The weather and temperature were not for swimming but the water was clear and clean. We didn’t have hot water for the shower ( only lukewarm). I am sure Bob would have resolved this issue instantly if we had informed him. I suggest you read the instructions since there is some work involved at the end so you can plan for it. At the end of the stay, you have to strip bed sheets, put them in the washing machine, collect your garbage/recycling and either take it with you or drive a short distance ( 10 minutes )to drop it off. I would like to thank Bob who has been lovely to deal with, helpful and prompt with emails and messages. We enjoyed our stay and hope to go back again soon. Thank you, Bob !! Lydia with family.

The property is beautiful, modern and tastefully decorated with all the comforts of home. We enjoyed star gazing on the dock, sitting in front of the wood burning fire place, sunning on the deck chairs and grilling on the bbq. The atmosphere is relaxing and the view of the lake is stunning. The morning paddle in the canoe was amazing...Thank you so much for sharing your lovely place. We will back next year.

Perfect location: Beautifully appointed and spacious cottage on lovely, tranquil Little Kennisis lake. We were treated to stunning sunrises across the water. The cottage has fabulous indoor & outdoor space with comfortable seating. Enjoyed using the kayaks provided. First class communication from the owner. Excellent wifi connectivity! Lots to explore in the area. We would have loved to have stayed longer and definitely hope to return.
