Maple Arbour
~ crosscountry skiing ~ downhill skiing ~ skiing ~ dogsledding ~ luging ~ skating ~ snowmobiling ~ ice fishing ~ snowshoeing ~ snowball fights ... and getting warm beside the woodstove after a day of playing outside.
Nestled in a mature maple forest, our Haliburton classic home projects from the ridge overlooking Head Lake, just a few minutes away from the centre of the town of Haliburton.
Superinsulated, wood heated in winter, spring and fall, forest cooled in summer, Maple Arbour is an example of how existing houses can be reworked to live lightly on the earth.
