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!

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!

| Having stayed at many cottages over the years. I must say that this one is particularly unique and so beautiful!! From the winding hilly remote drive , you know you're finding something very special at the end of the road. You arrive at this very fairy-tale like exterior wooden log cabin nestled amount the high mature trees. It truly is a site to see. As you enter the doors you are warmly welcomed into the ever-so tasteful rustic meets modern design that flows through the cottage. With upscale bathroom and kitchen amenities - to oversize rustic antlers over the games table - and also an oversize hammock canopy that if you read or take a nap on - you may think this place is all a dream. But it's not! Skelwood is definitely a place to see and visit. Thank you Cassidy for this beautiful oasis you have all designed - we enjoyed every minute.
Ps. The sauna, hot tub ,fire pit and quaint town near by were bonuses as well!

| My family and I built beautiful memories at this cottage - it was exactly what we were looking for. There is so much we enjoyed but here are the top three things.1- The nature and beauty surrounding us was breathtaking. I was in awe every morning at the stillness and beauty of the lake not to mention enjoying the scenery from the outdoor hot tub. 2- the kitchen is fully equipped and we prepared delicious meals as a family. 3- the kids were never bored! There are plenty of board games and books to explore - the kids loved reading on the top floor hammock. It was so unique and special. Bonus is that this cottage is sparkling clean. I honestly could not have asked for a better stay. Thank you Cassidy and team!

| This cottage and property exceeds expectations. The home is beautifully appointed and tastefully decorated with thoughtful touches throughout. The view is stunning and the lake is a tranquil haven. We had glorious weather and spent every day down on the dock either swimming or in the canoe/kayak. While tucked away with plenty of privacy, the cottage is just a 20 minute drive to groceries, pharmacy, hospital etc. Communication with Cassidy was pleasant, easy and timely. We have stayed at many homes and cottages over the years, this by far was our best experience yet. Well worth it and we would highly recommend. Thanks for the lovely stay!

| We just finished a stay at Skelwood Kabin and we know we will be back! The owners have thought of everything, and then some! The cottage is stunning, decor both comforting but also upscale, and impeccably clean. All the comforts of home are provided (linens, towels, toiletries, cooking basics). They even had the most thoughtful welcome gift: wine us, s'mores kit for our kids and even dog treats for our pup!
This is without question the most beautiful cottage we have ever been to, inside and out. The lake is gorgeous, the views from the cottage are amazing and the quiet is unreal. Was the most relaxing place to refuel and reenergize. We will be back for sure!!
