Escape to serenity at Wally Pines, a charming 3-bedroom, 2-washroom cottage tucked along the quiet shores of motor-free Basshaunt Lake in the Haliburton Highlands. Perfect for families, this peaceful retreat offers a safe and relaxed setting with a sandy beach for wading and clear, weed-free deep water swimming off the dock. Kids will delight in catching leopard frogs along the lily pad-lined shoreline, while anglers can cast for trout and bass on this hidden gem of a lake. The cottage is just 1 km from Sir Sam's Ski & Ride, making it a fantastic four-season getaway—skiing in the winter and mountain biking in the summer are right at your doorstep. Enjoy all-day sunshine thanks to the southern exposure, or relax on the spacious lake-view deck with a dining area perfect for family meals. A gentle set of about 40 stairs leads down to the water, where you’ll find several non-motorized watercraft ready to help you explore this tranquil lake. High-speed internet keeps you connected, though you may find it hard to pull yourself away from the peaceful surroundings.
