About the host
Hosted by L C Jewell
As an experienced host with more than 10 years of specializing in rustic-luxury Haliburton cottage rentals, I take pride in offering seamlessly turn-key family-friendly and pet-friendly getaways on Kennisis Lake and Bitter Lake in Haliburton Highlands. Passionate about creating relaxing retreats for my guests to be able to step into the door to be able to immediately exhale and settle in to enjoying their well deserved getaway from the stresses of their everyday life. I ensure every stay is comfortable, well-equipped, and immersed in the natural beauty of Haliburton Highlands. If you would like recommendations for fun or relaxing adventure near to the cottage I'm more than happy to help with suggestions and provide and contact information you need.
Whether you're seeking a family-friendly Ontario cottage rental or a couples romantic lakeside escape for two, I’m here to help you plan the perfect stay.

Why they chose this property
Tucked away in a tranquil forest setting, this modern Haliburton cottage on Bitter Lake is perfect for couples and families seeking a quiet lakeside retreat. Enjoy paddling on the calm waters, exploring scenic trails, or unwinding in the luxury ensuite with a deep soaker tub. Located 5 minutes from Haliburton Forest (trails, tree-top canopy tours, restaurant, hiking/biking, snowmobiling, wolf howls and more), 5 minutes from Kennisis lake marina (boat rentals, pickleball, icecream, outdoor dining overlooking the lake) and a short drive to charming local shops, it’s the perfect escape for relaxation and adventure.
This property is very private and peaceful. It is very well treed with a long private driveway through the trees and an undeveloped forested lot beside it. This means that you can have that feeling of finally being away from it all and can have the privacy you long for so that you can simply exhale and relax into your peaceful cottage holiday. (This is so important, many other cottages are built right next to their neighbours and you don't have that visual privacy that we are so fortunate to enjoy at our Bitter Lake cottage)
We are in the most convenient location possible to have access to all the fun experiences nearby for enjoyment all year round. Only 5 minutes to the famous Haliburton Forest (Treetop Canopy tours, Wolves viewing and museum, Snow shoe trails and snowmobiling, hiking, mountain biking, restaurant, and more) or Kennisis lake Marina (Restaurant, souvenirs, supplies, boat rentals, and sometime even outdoor concerts!), and minutes to cross country skiing, Haliburton sculpture forest, Sir Sam's Ski Hill and Spa!
