PROFILE

Awatere - Kennisis Lake - Haliburton Highlands OntarioWelcome to Awatere cottage. Awatere is a Maori word for flowing water, but it also favours creative expression. One of the many wonders of cottage life is that you can be entirely yourself, re-acquaint with that inner fun-loving, adventurous you, go with the flow and reconnect with nature at its best. Designed and built by the owner, this wonderfully unique cottage with guest cabin lives up its name, offering all the ingredients that make for a great vacation – and don’t forget the famous 3 Rs – rest, relax and rejuvenate. Here you can re-create your finest self in a comfortable environment on a private half acre lot with a fabulous sand beach, a pair of 12 foot kayaks, a large flotation mat and kiddie toys, with a view to die for– all on expansive crystal clear Kennisis Lake, renowned for its beauty and its excellent swimming and boating.

Awatere provides the conveniences of home without losing a bit of its cottage character and rustic charm. 18 foot vaulted ceilings in the dining area, and stunning post and beam ceilings in the cabin, gives the spaces an open, airy quality. And the guest cabin has its own BBQ, wood stove and bathroom, even an outdoor shower. Bothe the main building and cabin have three piece bathrooms, balconies off the bedrooms, lots of outdoor lounge furniture, and there is an outdoor shower on the wrap around deck. The main building has a paved social area with a firepit to enjoy the great outdoors, both day and night. Just a great family cottage!

Welcome to your home away from home, at the heart of Ontario’s premier holiday destination. Kennisis Lake boasts miles of boating pleasure, uninhabited islands to explore, stunning vistas and crystal clear water for swimming. There’s a marina on the lake for those last minute supplies and all your watercraft needs and we’re just minutes from the 100,000 acre Haliburton Forest and Wildlife Reserve with its groomed hiking and biking trails and world-famous Wolf Observatory.
