Much like the Eagle's must feel in their nest, our log home is perched on a hillside, offering views through the tree tops. Our one of a kind chalet is within 300 feet of Sir Sam's Ski and Ride (which offers a family friendly environment for downhill skiing, snow shoeing, and downhill mountain biking).

For the beautiful dogs days of summer, Sir Sam's offers some great downhill mountain biking, and hiking, as well as numerous backroad biking routes and hiking trails nearby. In the summer, a short walk will take you to the boat launch and public beach on Eagle Lake, and the quaint Eagle Lake Market (and LCBO outlet) which offers everything from snacks and baked goods to full take-home dinners.

Winter enthusiasts will love the proximity to some great OFSC Trails, as well as downhill and cross country skiing, dogsledding and snowshoeing. Sir Sam's also has an FIS level snow-cross course that is open to the public (except during special events), and can give you a first hand view of what our Olympic Athletes experience during a race!

The property itself boasts a lovely level lot at the back, with excellent land for exploring with the kids. There is an outdoor firepit for quiet evenings at home, as well as a very unique fireplace (not currently in use) that serves as the anchor point for gathering between the living room and kitchen.

The house is three bedrooms, an office, two and a half baths, and a theatre room. The oversized Master Bedroom looking through the trees has a three piece ensuite, a large closet and a King sized bed. The other bedrooms on the third floor comfortably sleep more people (a room with a double bed, one with a single over double bunk bed, and a queen, there is also a small child cot cot available). The main level two piece bathroom serves as extra "comfort" when the upstairs four piece bathroom is in use.

The property is fifteen kilometers from the Town of Haliburton, with it's beautiful waterfront, great small town shopping, and many Museums, Art Galleries, outdoor venues and scenic vistas. Check out the Skyline Park, or Head Lake Trail for a truly unique and amazing glimpse into this extraordinary area.

Further afield are some great spots such as the Haliburton Forest Wildlife Preserve that offer year round activities for all ages, and the Leslie Frost Center, as well as the Hawk Lake Log Chute.

We welcome you to experience this amazing area, and enjoy all of the adventure that Haliburton has to offer!
