About this property

4 season log cottage on Kennisis Lake

Bliss cottage, aptly named, is truly a cottage country dream house. This all season, 3 bedroom designer log home with a bunkie has everything you need for an idyllic family vacation. Situated on a well treed property on prestigious Little Kennisis Lake, you’ll definitely know you’ve left the hustle and bustle of the city when you arrive. Combine rustic elegance and charm with all the conveniences of home, and then some. Comfort is key. A welcoming stone propane fireplace, a screened room, a hot tub available all summer, two fire pits, a lookout deck, ample outdoor games and furniture, and south-facing for all day sun!

Post and beam with a cathedral pine ceiling in the Great Room. Even the loft bedroom has an amazing view of the lake! There’s overhead fans throughout for those sizzling summer nights. Or cozy up before the fireplace in the cooler weather.

Nestled in a quiet bay with a wide selection of watercraft and games for kids and adults alike, there’s lots of opportunity for R&R.
Kennisis Lake is at the heart of Ontario’s premier holiday destination and boasts miles of boating pleasure, with uninhabited islands to explore, stunning vistas and crystal clear water for swimming.

There’s a marina on the lake for those last minute supplies and all your watercraft needs, and we’re just minutes from the 100,000 acre Haliburton Forest and Wildlife Reserve with its groomed hiking and biking and snowmobile trails and world-famous Wolf Observatory; yet only 30 minutes from shopping, golf courses and entertainment, and just 3 hours north of Toronto.

About the host

Hosted by Lea Harper

Host profile image
As a long-time lake resident,and a registered travel agent with TICO, I established Kennisis Cottage Rentals in 2006 to meet the increasing demand for lakefront holiday accommodations and she brings to the table years of cottaging experience. An extensive roster of loyal clients attests to the value of this personal touch and level of commitment. Once experiencing the enduring magic of cottage country, our valued guests return year after year.

My romance with cottage life began when my parents bought a summer residence on Kennisis Lake in 1956. A proud cottage owner, property manager, and professional provider of lakefront accommodations, I have made responsible renting her top priority. This care and commitment translates to hundreds of valued return guests annually. I take particular delight in sharing her knowledge and experience with new vacationers discovering the joys of cottaging for the first time.
