OUR LAKEFRONT: Our cottage retreat sits on a point with 200' of shoreline and lake views on all sides including peaceful sunrises, big lake vista, & amazing sunsets. The cottage is cooled under a canopy of tall mature trees providing privacy and serenity. Lake views from patio dining, picnic table, bonfire, dock, and boathouse. Stormy Lake boasts of being the highest in the county and hence clean and clear spring-fed waters. We are an easy 2-hour drive from GTA and Ottawa and 15 min. from Haliburton. Our cottage is situated 1 Acre private level lot right on the shoreline steps to the water, and on a gentle slope to clean water entry. All of the amenities of the waterfront are near each other allowing for gathering and feeling together. This is a quiet family-oriented lake with a friendly neighbourhood community. COTTAGE SPACE: *New siding, windows and doors, and stylish furnishings. New linens. Starlink Wi-Fi service. The upstairs includes 3 bedrooms (double, double, 4 twin bunks), a sitting area for reading/ games/movies, and an updated bathroom. Beds have comfortable new mattresses and bedding. The downstairs is an L-shaped open-concept space with a modern updated kitchen, dining, and living room for gathering. The kitchen is very well stocked for family meals. All bedrooms, living room, kitchen, and dining room have beautiful lake views.
PATIO: Adjacent to the dining room is a walk-out to the patio with new outdoor dining for 8 (plus a picnic table) surrounded by lake views. The kitchen includes a fridge, stove/oven, microwave, coffee maker, Tassimo, kettle, blender, toaster oven, plates, cutlery, pots, pans, and more! A BBQ is also available.
DOCK:
We have a large dock system on the water (NE facing, sunrise, and all-day sun) with both deep water entry and a clean rocky shoreline with shallow entry. The dock has room for seating - 5 comfy Muskoka chairs and room for sunbathing. This is the best spot to have your morning coffee! Anchored opposite the dock is a rock-textured floating raft for swimming to and playing/climbing on for hours of water fun for the kids. Clean weed-free water swimming!
BOATHOUSE:
A newly built boathouse with a wrap-around deck (SE facing afternoon sun and sunsets) overlooks a gorgeous big lake vista. The boathouse serves as a games room with conversation seating for late-night board games and long chats, a foosball table and darts, fishing rods, 2 Kayaks - single and tandem, canoe, pedal boat, foosball table, etc. Deepwater entry from the boathouse deck as it sits over the water. A great covered spot for hanging out when the weather is not ideal. We've even had group yoga happen in the boathouse and deck. A floating swim mat is anchored out from the boathouse. Fishing from both the dock and boathouse is fun and easy for the kids (and adults). Clean weed-free waters for swimming! This is the spot to have your appetizers and drinks while taking in the sunset and enjoying laughs and good company!
BONFIRE:
Central to all the waterfront action is a great bonfire gathering area in front of the cottage between the dock and the boathouse, close to the water for s'mores and campfire songs. For the young children, a swing set, and sandbox are on-site to enjoy. Some lawn games: corn hole, croquet, bocci, horseshoes, darts, ring toss, and giant Jenga! All outdoor amenities are in close and viewing proximity from inside the cottage allowing for easy supervision and a feeling of togetherness.
OUR LAKE:
Stormy Lake is a quiet family-oriented community. Crystal clear spring-fed lake. Great swimming from our dock and big rocks to climb and dive from at the boat launch. There are some motorboats on the large section of the lake but generally quiet. Our location is on a quiet section of the lake safe for swimming with a big lake view. We have extremely kind and friendly neighbours - we wish to exercise common courtesy and respect for all cottage residents on the lake. Outdoor quiet time 10 pm.

| My friends and I had an amazing time at Binh's cottage! The cottage itself is wonderful - clean and comfortable, with beautiful views from the bedrooms, and an incredibly well stocked kitchen. The property is forested, with tall pines throughout, making the cottage and docks feel secluded. There are two docks, a well built fire pit with lovely benches around it, a bbq and a number of water craft. Stormy Lake is cool, clean and deep - perfect for paddling around on a canoe, casting a fishing rod or swimming. It's easy to drive to town to buy groceries, visit a farmers market or grab a drink at a brewery, with Haliburton only a 15 minute drive away and Minden a 20 minute drive away. Binh is responsive, accommodating and provides detailed instructions at every step of the rental process. Cannot recommend this rental enough!

| My family and I had the pleasure of staying at Binh's cottage near Haliburton. As first-time cottagers, we didn't know what to expect or prepare, but Binh made everything seamless, from check-in to check-out, even while away on her own vacation! Our family of five thoroughly enjoyed this escape from the city, with my teen even commenting on how much she appreciated the serenity here (no small feat, that's for sure!)
From the moment we arrived, it was evident that this is a lovingly maintained and carefully thought-out home! The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable, living room was cozy, decor was beautiful and the kitchen was very well equipped. Hands down, the view and access to the water, was amazing! Gorgeous view of the sunrise in mornings and when I had to work remotely for a few days, it was a nice surprise to discover that the wi-fi extended to the dock! On rainy days, we thoroughly enjoyed spending time in the boathouse overlooking the water. At night, the fire pit was always a hit as was the large selection of movies to choose from! And if we wanted a change of scenery or needed anything, Haliburton was just a short drive away.
In short, we loved our stay at Stormy Lake and wouldn't hesitate to return or recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a beautiful home away from home!

| This is our second stay and was just as amazing as the first!
We went back because this cottage is just perfect. It's super clean. It's well laid out, making it easy to relax. The views of the lake are so beautiful. The waterfront is private with two areas to swim from. Kayaks and peddle boats make for easy adventures. And the firepit is perfect for evening chats around the fire.
Can't say enough about how great a time we had. Thank you to Binh for being such an amazing host! We will be back next year!

| My wife and I and our blended family that includes 5 children ranging in ages from 7 to 17 arrived at Stormy Lake and fell in love. The private cottage is nestled among beautiful trees and it steps away from the lake where there were plenty of water activities. The interior of the cottage is modern and fairly spacious. Even for our large family. The kitchen is fully equipped making our visit much more convenient. The rooms all had amazing views of the lake through large modern windows. The flooring is unique and authentic.
Our stay was unforgettable.
