One of the most fabulous original cottage experiences in this region! The Lookout is an original log cottage that has had modern amenities very gracefully incorporated to make your private vacation relaxing and nostalgic.
Perched high above the South/East end of Canning Lake on 160 acres of forested land, the star-filled nights are amazing, as are the quiet natural surroundings offering complete privacy at the cottage.
The aged, welcoming presence of the log cabin as you approach it, draws you to want to know its history. Upon entering you are not disappointed with the solid log construction of the area's pioneers who built it.
The open area kitchen table and living room with 30' bracing logs from side to side and a log constructed open loft hallway leading to 2 bedrooms upstairs is pretty cool. The living room is complete with TV/DVD/Stereo entertainment with an adjacent large screened-in porch for lots of relaxation room. The kitchen provides all the basic amenities, the bathroom is a 3 piece with shower stall.
There are two bedrooms with doubled beds the third bedroom with single bunks. All 3 bedrooms are complete with closets/cabinets. Max 5 adults. Outside there is a very spacious grassy area where you will find a fire pit and the Owner supplies wood. It is from here that you want to enjoy sun filled days and by night, star gaze, light a campfire, play the guitar and sing, toast marshmallows or just listen and wonder at the sound of nature in this gently used acreage.
From The Lookout there is approx ½ kilometer road through the tall white spruce trees to a private dock and swimming area that has a gradual walk-in of hard sand and granite. There is a 12' Aluminum rowboat for your use.
Canning Lake is part of Haliburton's signature 5-lake chain for endless hours of boating. There are many varieties of fish including Muskie, S&L Mouth Bass, and Pickerel.
