A Secluded Oasis of Architectural Elegance by the Lakeside

Welcome to The Bear Stand, where nature meets luxury in an exquisite lakeside architectural masterpiece nestled in the heart of the Haliburton Highlands. This expansive retreat spans 99 acres of pristine wilderness, offering a harmonious blend of traditional Canadian cabin charm and cutting-edge contemporary design – a haven for those seeking an unparalleled escape.

This 3400 sq ft four-season cabin accommodates up to 10 guests in style. With 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, the upper floor master bedroom suite is a sanctuary in itself. Revel in the comfort of a king bed, granite chimney, and gas fireplace, all under the natural light streaming through the skylight. The ensuite bathroom is a masterpiece with built-in wardrobes, twin vanities, a freestanding lakeview tub, a rain shower, a screened-in private outdoor soaking tub, and an adjacent sitting terrace. Additional sleeping spaces include an upper guest bedroom with a king bed, a lower guest bedroom with a king bed, and a quad children's upper bunkroom with 4 full-size twin beds – perfect for adults too. The upper den offers entertainment with a large screen TV, surround sound, a minibar, and a leather queen pull-out sofa that sleeps 2. Step onto the outdoor lakeview terrace for a breath of fresh air. The interior features floor-to-ceiling windows, a wood-burning fireplace, and a professional open kitchen equipped with gourmet appliances. The glass-enclosed lakeview dining room, seating 8, provides a picturesque setting for memorable meals.

Explore the beauty of the property with 5 km of private trails, inviting you to wander year-round. In winter, embrace the snowy wonderland with snowshoeing and hiking. Unwind at the two outdoor fire pit areas – one nestled in the forest and the other lakeside. Immerse yourself in the lakeside soft tub or enjoy a forest-view screened-in outdoor soaking tub, cedar sauna, and an outdoor shower. In the summer, indulge in excellent canoeing and kayaking, take a refreshing dip in the lake, or bask in the sun on the dock. Fall months bring picturesque foliage, local art tours, and nights toasting s'mores over the outdoor fire. Additional opportunities for falconry, skiing, cross-country skiing, tobogganing, dogsledding, and snowmobiling in the Haliburton area.

No matter the season, The Bear Stand invites you to escape, explore, and create lasting memories in this extraordinary retreat.
