Bit O Paradise on Bitter Lake

PROFILE

This beautiful new, private lakefront cottage with 5 bedrooms, a fully finished basement and 3 baths, sleeps 8. Nestled in a cove on peaceful Bitter Lake in the Haliburton Highlands at the heart of Ontario’s vacation paradise, this elegant retreat epitomizes the enduring charms of cottage life with all the modern conveniences, affording you full time fun and relaxation.

The vaulted pine ceilings in the Great Room and elevated 9 foot ceilings everywhere else (even downstairs), impart a fresh and airy spaciousness and the elegant Viceroy windows let in plenty of light. Gorgeous teak hardwood flooring throughout with porcelain tiles in the kitchen and hall. Lower level boasts a kitchenette, large screen TV with Blu-ray DVD player and a ping pong table.

Towering hemlock and fragrant pine frame the property. Relax in the height of comfort with air conditioning, geo-thermal water furnace, and an airtight Napoleon fireplace. A walk-out deck overlooks a wooded landscape with sculpted stone steps to the water — 142 feet of pristine lakefront. Soak up the great outdoors with south-east exposure providing all day sun on the dock.

Spring fed, Bitter Lake is exceptionally pure. Clear and weed-free for swimming. Situated south of Algonquin Park and just 3 hrs. NE of Toronto, the cottage is only 10 minutes from Kennisis Lake Marina and the 65,000 acre Haliburton Forest and Wildlife Reserve with its world-renowned Wolf Observatory, groomed trails for biking and hiking and snowmobiling.

We’re deep in the woods, but just twenty minutes from shopping, restaurants and live entertainment.
