Stillwater Lakehouse on Portage Lake

Summary:
Escape to nature, bring friends, bring family – there is room for everyone at Stillwater Lakehouse! Perched on 160 ft of shoreline on South Portage Lake, we are ideally located for enjoying everything Haliburton has to offer: kayaking, canoeing, swimming, lounging on the dock, hiking area trails, touring nearby breweries, visiting the wolf sanctuary, or snowmobiling, dog sledding, x-country skiing on picturesque trails or downhill skiing at Sir Sam’s.

The Space:
The house sleeps 12, offers space and comforts which will ensure everyone has an enjoyable stay. With huge windows, cathedral ceiling and gorgeous lake views from each of the 3 levels, 2 king size beds, 2 queen size beds, and a bedroom with bunk beds, along with 3 separate sitting areas – allowing as much being together or apart as is preferred, everyone is sure to enjoy their stay. With plenty of board games, and a ping pong table on the lower level, there is something for everyone to do! The well-equipped open concept kitchen is an inviting spot for everyone, whether participating in the cooking or BBQ, or simply there for company and sampling. The harvest table, which seats 12, is a perfect spot for meals for the whole group, making memories and relishing in the day’s experiences. Morning coffee on the deck is made easy with drip coffee maker. In the evenings, cozy up in front of the fireplace or wood stove, or grab a blanket and head out to the deck chairs to gaze at the stars. South Portage Lake is a quiet private non-boating lake (electric motorboats are allowed). The shoreline offers both a gently sloping area, as well as deep water off the dock, the water is clear and there are no weeds whatsoever. This is an ideal spot for swimming or paddling in the kayaks and canoes available for use. The breathtaking sunsets tend to draw the whole crowd down to the dock. The fire pit is a great destination for all ages, whether making s'mores or simply enjoying the quiet of the night by the fire under the big sky. Your time at Stillwater Lakehouse can be as relaxing or as active as you choose to make it. While some will rise early to enjoy a morning paddle or a coffee on the dock when there is still a mist on the lake, others will opt to sleep in and enjoy the creature comforts in this spectacular setting. We advise winter renters to have 4 wheel drive as the Stillwater Lakehouse driveway is sloped and tends to ice over. It is recommended you park at the top of the driveway near the road to prevent getting stuck. During the summer, 4 wheel drive is also advisable when the road is slick from rain. The location of Stillwater Lakehouse is convenient with Haliburton village only 10 minutes away, offering 2 grocery stores, 2 drugstores, LCBO and a Beer Store, as well as coffee shops and restaurants.
