The View

PROFILE

Perched atop a cliff with sweeping views of Little Kennisis Lake, this four-season lakehouse nests in solitary majesty on a lot lush with trees. With more than 2500 square feet of living space over three floors, and five separate outdoor seating areas (one is at the lakefront and another up top, screened-in for bug season), you can enjoy the best of Haliburton’s scenery at any time of the year.

While offering all the modern conveniences without losing a bit of the lake country charm comes the promise of full time fun and good old fashioned R&R. Having struck a perfect balance between the bright, welcoming, open-concept addition and original pan abode cottage coziness, this house sleeps six in luxury with an additional two easily accommodated on the convertible sofa. With both private and social spaces aplenty to suit every personality or mood, this sprawling lakehouse makes for the perfect friend or family retreat or getaway. And there’s easy access parking with room for multiple vehicles.

The spacious great room boasts a large stone fireplace with floor to cathedral ceiling windows for an uninterrupted and breathtaking view, even during rain, fog, or snow. In winter, you can cozy up in the evenings in front of the fire, with a panoramic view of the lake, or stay cool on those blistering hot summer nights thanks to the lake breezes, overhead fans and air conditioning.

Stunning local granite counters and backsplash surround the well-stocked ‘chef’s kitchen’ with generous storage space. The dining area’s handcrafted Mennonite harvest table with bench seats 8 comfortably with three additional bar stool seats at the nearby counter. Behind French doors is the T.V room or den (with Netflix), which also boasts a bar and a sink.

Here is the consummate cottage experience on a premier lake at the heart of Ontario’s vacation paradise. Crystal clear and weed-free Kennisis Lake offers miles of boating pleasure, uninhabited islands to explore, great swimming and fishing, and has a marina and small store for last minute supplies and all your watercraft needs.
