PROFILE

Footprints in the Sand - Kennisis Lake - Haliburton Highlands OntarioThis classic cottage and choice property delivers on all expectations for a wonderful holiday experience. From the warm and charismatic interior, rich with fine furniture laid out in a comfortable setting, to the expansive decking and the much desired gently sloping property just steps from a beautiful sandy beach; this peaceful retreat ticks off every box on your wish list. Situated on one of the nicest lots on Kennisis Lake, the shoreline is tucked into a calm bay — protected for water activities, yet boasting the cherished grand view of lake. An ideal setting for both young and young at heart!

The cottage is an open concept, upgraded Viceroy (approximately 1,150 sq ft), meticulous and well maintained, indoors and out. All rooms showcase pine and cedar throughout with wide plank wood floors, walls, and ceilings for that time-honoured cottage ambience. The layout features a stunning Great Room with a ceiling-height stone fireplace and a wall of lake-facing windows for a fantastic view. The four bedrooms will nicely accommodate 8. Bedrooms are thematically named and decorated with Bear, Moose & Cubs motifs. The master bedroom includes a desk and is separated from the other bedrooms for additional privacy. The kitchen lends itself to efficiency and features a two oven stove with a handy small oven ideal for quick, smaller meals, such as pizza. The bathroom is a modern four piece. All rooms benefit from a high ceiling for an added openness. Note: excellent internet and cell reception.
The special character of this cottage owes itself in part to the beautiful furnishings in the Great Room, such as the mission-style, quarter sawn oak cabinets and tables. Sink back into the soft leather of an oversized couch and chair while watching a movie, the fireplace, or reading that book you can finally get to. And, bedrooms feature rustic, natural wood furniture with Bunk Beds in two of the rooms.

Possibly the best feature, particularly for the young, is the beautiful beach with unusually fine sand. Lots of play toys are supplied as the owners are blessed with many young grandchildren who love the beach. Hence, the cottage is affectionately named “Footprints in the Sand”. Terrific docking facilities for both sunbathing and diving. Enjoy the paddleboat and kayaks or relax in the “moon bed” on the dock. And, dinner on the dock at dusk is pretty amazing. Rounding the shoreline towards the point is a flat Algonquin-like rock setting to explore and enjoy a small bonfire. The night also lights up with stars and meteors and, if lucky, on rare occasions you can witness the Northern Lights.

Part of a two lake chain, Kennisis Lake has over 14 miles of crystal clear, island-studded waters, ideal for fishing, swimming and exploring; just 3 hours NE of Toronto and minutes from the 80,000 acre Haliburton Forest and Wildlife Reserve with its groomed trails and world famous Wolf Observatory. We’re deep in the woods but only 25 minutes from shopping, golf courses, and entertainment; and Kennisis Lake has a marina and small store for last minute supplies and all your watercraft needs.
