The space
A cozy, newly renovated lakehouse on Kashagawigamog Lake — ideal for quiet winter getaways, fireside evenings, and unplugged time by the water. Just 2 hours from Toronto and minutes from Haliburton, Cedar & Sand Lakehouse offers comfort, privacy, and space to slow down.
Inside, you’ll find a bright, open-concept interior with a wood-burning fireplace, lake views, and thoughtfully curated finishes that feel warm and welcoming in every season. Whether you’re curled up by the fire, cooking unhurried meals, or enjoying snowy lake views from the deck, this is a place to truly unwind.
From the moment you pull into the driveway, you'll feel the calm of the water and the crisp pine air. Inside, you’ll find a completely renovated, open-concept interior — airy, bright, and curated with clean finishes and a timeless cottage feel. Large windows bring the lakefront right to you, while vaulted ceilings and natural light invite you to truly relax.
The main living area blends comfort and style with a TV with Firestick to sign in your favourite apps, a cozy seating area, boardgame set and lake views that never get old. The kitchen is fully equipped for everything from pancake breakfasts to lakeside spreads, and flows seamlessly into the dining area.
Step outside and take in the huge deck overlooking the lake, outfitted with a fire table dining setup, zero gravity chairs, and everything you need for memorable evenings under the stars.
In the summertime, spend the day soaking up the sun on your private dock, paddling the shoreline in a kayak or pedal boat, or floating with a drink in hand on our provided water lily. In the cooler months, gather around the bonfire pit for stories and s’mores, or cozy up at the fire table while dinner is cooking in our fully equipped kitchen.
Cedar & Sand Lakehouse has everything you need for an incredible getaway, no matter the season!
