Waterfront Cottage to Rent in Haliburton

Welcome to Long Lake Retreat — a luxury four-bedroom, 3.5-bath waterfront escape on beautiful Long Lake in Haliburton. This newer custom-built cottage blends high-end design with true cottage comfort, creating the kind of stay that feels special from the moment you arrive. With floor-to-ceiling windows, warm reclaimed-wood accents, beautiful lake views, and thoughtfully designed gathering spaces, this is a property made for relaxing, reconnecting, and enjoying the very best of cottage life.

​

The main floor is bright, open, and designed for easy living. The kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow together beautifully, making it ideal for families and groups to gather without feeling crowded. Large sliding glass doors and expansive windows flood the space with natural light and open onto the oversized lake-facing deck, where guests can enjoy morning coffee, outdoor dining, sunset drinks, and peaceful evenings by the water. Inside, a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with a wood-burning insert anchors the living room and adds warmth and character to the space.

​

The kitchen is both stylish and functional, offering everything needed for real meals and relaxed hosting. Whether you are preparing a quick breakfast before heading out on the lake or sitting down for dinner with family and friends, the space is built to make time together feel effortless. Central air conditioning and strong Wi-Fi add comfort and convenience year-round, whether you are unplugging completely or mixing in a bit of remote work.

​

The sleeping layout offers privacy while still keeping everyone comfortably connected. Every bed is fitted with a Douglas mattress and finished with high-quality linens for a restful stay.

On the main level, one bedroom features a king bed and sits close to a full bathroom and the laundry area, making it a practical option for longer stays or families. Also on the main floor, tucked privately behind a hidden door, is the primary suite — a true retreat with a king bed, walk-in closet, floor-to-ceiling lake views, and direct walkout access to the deck. The ensuite bathroom has a spa-like feel, complete with a walk-in shower, heated floors, and dual sinks with heated mirrors and built-in lighting.

​

Upstairs, a second lounge provides another inviting place to relax, with beautiful lake views, an oversized sectional, a large Smart TV, and a wet bar with sink and wine fridge/bar fridge. It is the perfect place for movie nights, quiet mornings, or giving the group a second area to spread out. This level also includes a third bedroom with a king bed and walk-in closet, along with a full bathroom that offers dual access from both the bedroom and entertainment area. This bathroom features a shower/tub combination and a heated mirror with built-in lighting.

​

The lower level is true ground level, so it feels bright, open, and connected to the outdoors rather than closed off like a basement. This space is set up for relaxed fun, with a recreation area, ping pong table, and a great collection of board games and books for slower days at the cottage. Bedroom four is also located on this level and includes a twin XL over queen bunk, walk-in closet, and sliding-door walkout access. A convenient 2-piece powder room completes the lower floor.

​

Outside is where Long Lake Retreat truly shines. The large hot tub faces the lake, creating the perfect place to unwind after a day on the water. The firepit is positioned for long evenings under the stars, and the private dock offers deep water off the end, making it especially great for swimming. Long Lake is part of a scenic two-lake chain, ideal for boating, paddling, fishing, and exploring. Two stand-up paddleboards are included so guests can get out on the water and enjoy the lake at their own pace.

​

Best of all, the cottage is just a short 15-minute drive to Haliburton for groceries, bakeries, cafés, restaurants, shops, and anything else you may need during your stay.

​

Long Lake Retreat is best suited for guests looking for a peaceful, high-quality getaway. We love hosting families and mature groups who will appreciate the comfort, design, and care that make this property so special.
