Towering Pines, Redstone Lake
- 4 bedrooms (2 queen, 2 double, 1 single, 1 trundle)
- Bath: one 4 pc, one 3 pc
- Water: tested safe to drink
A modern, comfortable, four season home built on the shores of Redstone Lake...one of Haliburton's premier lakes...this rental cottage is on an extremely private lot. The cottage has the ideal layout for 2 families with 2 bedrooms upstairs and two down. It's nestled in the contours of the landscape and surrounded by towering pines, giving a sense of privacy. From your dock you have a lovely view of Blueberry Island, a small rock outcrop with a few weathered trees that seems like it belongs in a Group of Seven painting...an easy canoe or kayak trip. The location features big lake views, afternoon sun and spectacular sunsets all year long. Redstone Lake offers wonderful swimming right off the dock. A deep lake, it also provides excellent Lake Trout fishing all year long. For those who enjoy boating, Redstone as part of a three lake chain, is especially attractive, with lots of space for water skiing or just cruising/exploring. Just across the road, forested lands extend into the Haliburton Forest and Wildlife Reserve (80,000 acres of undeveloped land under certified conservation management) and then beyond into Algonquin Park. Just a few kilometers from the Haliburton Forest base camp, the cottage has easy access to the Haliburton Forest's many wonderful wilderness resources including extensive trails, an observatory/planetarium, the wolf centre, winter dog sledding, snow shoeing, as well as interpretive programs and an active sawmill & forest products woodshop. While many think of warm summers and swimming when conjuring images of cottage life, Towering Pines also offers spectacular winter recreation opportunities. Local snowmobile trails can be picked up where they cross Redstone Lake and the expanse of the lake offers wonderful snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.

It was our second year renting Towering Pines and it keeps getting better. The owners have been renovating the cottage over time and it's a beautiful spot inside to compliment the lake view outside. I look forward to renting it again next summer.

The cottage itself was very clean, modern and comfortable for 6 adults and 1 child. We enjoyed it very much. We were there at the end of June during a heat wave which was great. We had beautiful weather! Nothing beats sitting on the dock by a calm lake with your morning coffee and seeing the wildlife in their natural habitats. The bugs were a little crazy but to be expected. The neighbours dog visited us many times a day and really added to the experience. Also, the kayaks and canoe are amazing additions.
One little thing, it is unfortunate there aren't walking trails to explore...Lastly, the cleaning list is a bit excessive. I understand leaving the cottage clean and tidy but it is a bit much - especially when there are cleaners that come in afterwards.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend it. Thank you!

This was our third year at Towering Pines. Every year, something has been upgraded. The only thing lacking is a dishwasher. We enjoyed every moment and would highly recommend this cottage.

Cottage was perfect for us with 2 bedrooms and a bath upstairs and 2 bedrooms and bath downstairs. Very clean and well appointed with everything we needed. Great lake and dock area provided both sun and shade. Excellent fire pit area.
The fact that there are no stairs from the front porch was a bit of an inconvenience, but we got used to it. The blue cottage to the west of us was a bit closer that I would have liked but they were generally pretty quiet.
All in all, a great week!

This is our second year at Towering Pines, and we certainly want to return next year. The cottage is spotless and has all the amenities that you could ask for. Each year, the owners update something - this year it was the laundry room with a new washer and dryer. The lily pad is always a hit with our grandchildren. We can't wait to return and make more memories!!!

We loved the cottage, the amenities, location, swimming, view. Perfect for our family. Loved that there was a separate family room for watching movies. We will be back!!!

This is a really nice cottage. Southern exposure makes it sunny. The lake is great. We did not have too many people around in June so no issues with noisy powerboats. There are two kayaks and one canoe but the kids really enjoyed the lily pad.
The cottage has only one shower and no dishwasher but it turned out to be ok. Perhaps for larger companies it would be a bit of a squeeze,
All the bloodsucking creatures were relentless in June so take a lot of bug spray.
All in all, we had a great week at the cottage. Highly recommended.
