Welcome to Skelwood Kabin! A beautiful newly built log cottage located in Haliburton, Ontario. The 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom cottage is tucked deep in the forest overlooking a quiet lake and is situated on 1.6 acres with 200ft of shoreline. This gorgeous private forest setting, just over 2 hours from the GTA is perfect for a family getaway!
Skelwood Kabin is located on a beautiful quiet lake (no motorboats allowed) in a very private forest setting. This is a place for relaxation, no parties. If you are a loud group this place isn't for you.
This brand new beautiful log cottage features an open living space with high vaulted ceilings and a full wall of windows over looking the forest. Our large rustic stone fireplace hosts a 55 inch TV and a gas fireplace to keep you warm in the cooler months.
We have a newly installed fully automatic GENERATOR that will power the entire cottage during any storms/power outages.
We have great STARLINK internet, Netflix and Disney plus.
The gorgeous kitchen comes fully equipped with everything you need to cook a delicious meal. Coffee, tea, olive oil and basic spices are complimentary.
*In house chef services available upon request! Our chef is a huge hit with our guests!
Our 4 bedrooms sleep 8 comfortably. All bed linens and bath towels are provided with compliments.
Bedroom 1: 1 King (main floor)
Bedroom 2: 1 King (upstairs)
Bedroom 3: 2 Queens (upstairs)
Bedroom 4: 1 King (downstairs)
There are 2 full bathrooms, and 1 half bath. There is also an outdoor shower located in the lower patio area (closed during winter). Shampoo, conditioner and body wash are complimentary.
We have a large beautiful covered porch that can be enjoyed all day, all night, rain or shine! Bottom deck is fully covered keeping you dry during the rainy days.
Walk down the path to our beautiful quiet lake. Enjoy the sun from noon until sunset on our 14x20 floating dock. There is great fishing right from the dock! We have for you to use 2 single kayaks and 2 canoes. 8 adult life jackets are provided, and 1 child life jacket.
*It is shallow around our dock (ranges from 3ft-5ft), no diving allowed. The swimming is fantastic! Gets really deep within a few feet from the dock.
Enjoy the sauna and hot tub, then cool off using the outdoor shower while watching the sunset (outdoor shower is off during the winter). Take a nap in our hammock and sway with the breeze. Step down to the fire pit area, listen to the fire crackle and the loons sing while gazing at the stars.
*WINTER*
You MUST have AWD/4x4 with good winter tires to access cottage in the winter.
The lake freezes over in late January (depends on temp) which makes for beautiful walks/snowshoeing (We cannot guarantee any ice is safe to walk on, at any time. Do so at your own risk)
Bring a blanket and your mulled wine to the outdoor fire pit. Cozy up to our indoor gas fireplace with a cup of hot cocoa and play your favourite board games!
There are many amazing restaurants that are open year round that are close by!
We look forward to hosting you! :)
