Little Kennisis Lake offers a great retreat for a perfect family vacation. It is in the Haliburton Highlands and surrounded by the forest of the Haliburton Wildlife Reserve. There is much to do in the area.

This recently renovated cottage has many decks to enjoy the sun or peace and tranquility. The upper deck has recently been constructed to give the master bedroom and the living area/kitchen area complete access to the outside. Three sliding glass doors off the living area provides great ventilation as well as a beautiful view of the lake.

Due to the rustic nature of the lot all decks are completely private. The decking system provides two, ten foot t-shaped floating docks connected to a lower deck at the waters edge. This provides a private yet very picturesque view of the lake. Sunrises here are said to be breathtaking. The water of this lake is clean and weed-less.  There is a small sandy area for entrance (water depth dependent on season) or diving/jumping off the docks is also available and often preferred. It is a combination rock and sandy shoreline.

Inside the cottage boasts a recently renovated kitchen area that is always a great place to congregate, either at the island or at the harvest table that seats 7 easily. All the necessities of home in the quiet of the Highlands.

The cottage has three bedrooms. A master bedroom has a queen size pillow-top mattress with a sliding glass door off the main deck and a two-piece bathroom. A small bedroom has a queen size pillow-top mattress and the third bedroom has a set of bunks with a double bed.

The cottage is located close to hiking, mountain biking, golfing & fishing.
