Heather Lodge is all about a history since 1942, originally known as the Ellen Cliff Lodge when it first opened in the Haliburton Highlands in (we believe) 1942 (although we have been told it could possibly be older). For over 60 years, Heather lodge has offered couples of all ages a rejuvenating escape from the stresses of life. Over the years, the beauty of the Haliburton Highlands has not changed. The breathtaking views of scenic Twelve Mile Lake remain the same. Like any history, there is some gaps that we are trying to fill, but we have met many of its previous owners and have information that the lodge was also called Valley High as well at one time. The most recent owners were Bert and Conny Van Doggenaar. This couple from the Neatherlands have invested in the property they fell in love with, and renovated from top to bottom while still maintaining many highlights of the original. This includes the wall panelling and floor in the dining room. The feel of the lodge is much the same, which offers a warm experience to our guests. This provides Innkeepers that reside in a property situated on five acres of manicured grounds the opportunity to cater to couples for romantic escapes.
