Outdoor adventures from dawn till dusk

At OAFrame, every moment spent outdoors is an opportunity for joy and relaxation.

Our massive docking system provides easy access to the deep, clean water perfect for swimming, fishing, and boating. Enjoy the rocky shoreline, or head to the dry boathouse, which doubles as a fun games room. Witness incredible sunsets and long lake views, often accompanied by a gentle breeze that keeps the bugs away. We also provide lawn games, canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards for endless entertainment on the water.

Cedar Barrel Sauna

Immerse yourself in ultimate relaxation with our premium cedar barrel sauna. The aromatic wood and efficient barrel shape wrap you in deep, therapeutic warmth that melts away stress and soothes muscles. It is the perfect screen-free sanctuary to unplug, detoxify, and elevate your lakeside cottage getaway.

Relax and unwind in nature's embrace

Find your perfect spot to de-stress and soak in the Haliburton landscape. Our sunset point, facing northwest, guarantees all-day sun and epic sunsets—a truly magical experience. Gather around one of our two fire pits: one by the tranquil lake, ideal for stargazing, and another closer to the cottage for cozy evenings. The expansive 800 square foot deck is perfect for lounging, dining, and entertaining. We also provide both propane and charcoal BBQs for your culinary enjoyment, making outdoor meals a breeze.
