Custom Log Lakefront Cottage on Twelve Mile Lake | Haliburton Highlands | Sleeps 12

This custom-built log cottage on Twelve Mile Lake offers a rare combination of privacy, craftsmanship, and expansive lake views in the heart of the Haliburton Highlands. Situated on a private point with over 1,100 feet of shoreline, this property is ideal for families and groups seeking a classic Haliburton cottage experience with space to spread out.

The Cottage

At the heart of the cottage is the original stone chimney from the historic cottage that once stood on this site, thoughtfully preserved and built around during construction. This unique feature anchors the open-concept main living area, which includes the kitchen, dining room, and living room. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame spectacular views of Twelve Mile Lake and fill the space with natural light.

The upper level features a private primary bedroom with a queen bed, 4-piece ensuite, and private balcony overlooking the lake. Adjacent is a loft area with a foosball table and a quiet lounging space that overlooks the main living area—perfect for reading, games, or simply enjoying the view.

The main floor includes three additional bedrooms, all with queen beds, one of which also features a single-over-double bunk bed. A 4-piece bathroom and 2-piece powder room complete the main level.

The Bunkie

A separate Bunkie offers a comfortable and private retreat, ideal for grandparents or guests looking for additional privacy. The Bunkie includes:

Queen bed

TV

4-piece bathroom

Outdoor Living

A large deck runs along the front and side of the cottage, offering multiple outdoor seating areas, including a dining table and conversation set. It’s an ideal space for meals, morning coffee, or evening relaxation overlooking the lake.

Waterfront & Location

The cottage sits on a private point with over 1,100 feet of shoreline, providing exceptional privacy. The shoreline is primarily rocky, with a natural rock shelf for shallow entry, and clean, clear, weed-free deep water swimming off the dock.

Located on Twelve Mile Lake, part of a large connected lake system, guests can enjoy excellent boating and fishing throughout the chain. A marina with snack bar and ice cream is located at the south end of the lake—an easy and popular destination by boat.

A Classic Haliburton Highlands Cottage Experience
