Private Cliffside Cabin in the Woods

This remote cabin in the woods, is atop a hillside, set back from a cliff, that boasts the most breathtaking birds eye view of the rolling forested hills of the Haliburton Highlands. Guests enjoy the view to the horizon with spectacular sunsets, jaw-dropping fall colours and dark skies great for star gazing, meteor shower watching and for the rare but beautiful sightings for the Aurora Borealis/Northern Lights! They love sitting around the campfire, with wood provided, eating smores! They BBQ yummy grub and enjoy staying cozy in the cabin playing board games.

We also offer canoe and mountain/gravel bike rentals.
