Haliburton Highlands Cottage with Lake Access and private dock!

Cozy cottage in Wilberforce on half acre property - so much room for activities! Fully equipped kitchen, large dining table, living room, two bedrooms, and a full washroom with claw foot tub. BBQ on the side porch, bonfire pit in front yard, and private dock across the road on Wilbermere Lake with canoe! A public beach area is also nearby.

Perfect city getaway, only 2.5 hours from Toronto and 3 hours from Ottawa.

Located in Haliburton County and only 25 minutes from Haliburton & Bancroft.

The primary bedroom has a queen-sized bed, the second bedroom has a bunk bed with a double mattress on the bottom, and a twin mattress on the top.

The Cottage is on well water and has a septic tank. The well water is filtered and safe for drinking, but doesn't taste the best. Some drinking water is provided and you can refill jugs in town.

There is a propane BBQ on the porch for your use and all the BBQ tools inside the cottage. The BBQ was upgraded in September, 2023!

The large bonfire pit in the front yard is great for outdoor cooking, and marshmallow roasting. FIREWOOD IS NOT PROVIDED, but can be purchased in Wilberforce at either the Foodland or Agnew's general store. Please check and follow any fire restrictions - the fire station has a sign out front.

A key-less entry pad is on the door for easy check-in and check-out. Times are flexible, just ask if you need special accommodations.

There is a canoe on site for guest use with two paddles and life jackets.

Bring your kayaks or floaties to enjoy the gorgeous lake. There is a boat launch on Wilbermere Lake if you have your own motor boat.

You'll have full access to the cottage, including the private dock on Wilbermere Lake. The only thing off limits is one small closet where I store personal items. An extensive collection of classic board games are on site.

The cottage is on a B-highway with an 70 km/h speed limit. Traffic is intermittent and you can safely cross to the dock or swimming area quite easily. Please note that you'll need to go over a guard rail and down a set of stairs to access the dock. If you have reduced mobility, or small children and prefer to walk into the water, there is a public swimming area very close by. Children will need to be accompanied by an adult at all times.

Pets are not permitted, please leave them home with a friend.

The living room has a small TV with DVD player, along with a few DVDs and HDMI cable to connect your laptop, if desired. There is no cable or satellite TV on site.

Cottage is equipped with 50 Mbps wifi.

This is my home away from home, please treat it with respect and leave it as you found it.

Please note that towels and bedding are not supplied. You'll need to bring your own shower and swimming towels, sheets, blankets/duvets, and pillows. A bath mat, hand towels, kitchen towels and dish cloth are provided. Due to the high iron content of the lake, staining is possible. To avoid any disappointment, do not bring any light coloured towels or swimsuits with you
