Haliburton Cottage

A dated Haliburton lakefront cottage renovated top to bottom to work as a short-term rental: a custom pine kitchen, new bathrooms and a bunk room, a finished lower level, a custom deck and an upgraded waterfront.

The job

A dated, wood-panelled lakefront cottage was stripped down to the studs and rebuilt, ready to host guests as a short-term rental. Every room was redone, from the kitchen to the lower level, and the work carried on outside to the deck and the waterfront.
