Taking bookings for 2024! Looking for a place to relax by the water and immerse yourself in nature? A beautiful cottage with 3 bedrooms: a main bedroom with a full/ double sized bed, a secondary bedroom with a full/double sized bed and one with a set of twin bunkbeds. Cottage includes luxury items such as dishwasher, washer and dryer, satellite tv, internet and potable filtered water. Large private sand beach with shallow entry, dock with electricity, 3 eating areas and a wood burning fireplace. Weber bbq with 1 tank of propane, outdoor firepit use with firewood, kayak, pedal boat and (2) canoe use all included.
Easily accessible with no hills to climb and only 3 small steps up to get in to the cottage, perfect for retirees and young families. Pull the car right up to the deck to unload.
Great bird watching opportunities. Mergansers, ruby throated hummingbirds, common loon, woodpeckers such as the neighbourhood pileated, herons, osprey, bald eagles and blue jays are seen on an almost daily basis here. Otters, chipmunks, red, black and grey squirrels, deer and porcupines are often viewed right from the cottage deck as well throughout the day.
Spacious living area with leather seating, and 2 recliners, large hand crafted barnboard dining table, handcrafted maple cupboards and a whimsical assortment of decor truly make it a special spot.
Highchair and booster seat provided.
Close to amenities in Buckhorn (Foodland, LCBO, bait and tackle, restaurants, bakery, pizza, shops, Home Hardware), Burleigh Falls, Young's Point and Lakefield, as well as all the larger city amenities only 30 min away in Peterborough.
Amazing fishing on Lower Buckhorn lake. Canoe and kayak use included in rental and dock available for use if you choose to bring your own boat. The dock has running water, overhead lighting and electricity. Private boat launches available in Buckhorn. Fish for muskie, large and smallmouth bass, perch, crappie and delicious pickerel/walleye.
This property is across the road from Wolf Island Provincial Park, a non operating park which ensures a quiet and serene stay and a large park to explore during the day (bring your GPS if you want to go hiking).
Buckhorn is home to one of the largest fine art festivals in Ontario, check the calendar of events online for more information.
The fine print:
While the beach is sand, there are also weeds. The bay is shallow so the water is usually very warm but by July and August there will be weeds and the bay can be weedy.
You will be required to take your own garbage, recycling and organics to the dump, 5 min away, but a one time pass to dispose of your garbage is included with the rental. A $60 fee will apply to any garbage, recycling, organics or food (left in the fridge or cupboard) taken from the damage deposit. No smoking within the cottage. No pets allowed on the property.
The main fridge/freezer in the cottage is compact but a second fridge is a available to use in the shed.
The aluminum boat in photos is not included in the rental, however, boat rentals are available in Buckhorn on the same lake for reasonable rates. Two canoes and a sit on top kayak is included in the rental (paddles, lifejackets also included).
This is a magical spot perfect for water and nature lovers!

| If you're looking for a true cottage in the woods, this is the place! Located in a quiet cove with a sandy beach, warm, clear water and great fire pit - they even provide the wood! Truly, a great and relaxing place. We saw deer tracks on the beach in the morning, as well as herons, massive/impressive crows, hawks, frogs, fish...
Very convenient 15 mins drive to Buckhorn. LCBO, grocery store and a fantastic bakery. Try the donuts!
We had a small hiccup with the internet on our first day. We contacted the owners and they were on the issue immediately. They stayed in contact with us the entire time to ensure the internet was fixed. Amazing!
We only wished there were 2 kayaks but there's a huge canoe so not a deal breaker. :)
Don't hesitate to rent this place. You won't regret it!

| The perfect family getaway! This cottage felt like home as soon as we walked in the door. The huge open living/dining area was unlike any cottage we've stayed in before. To be able to walk out the door and be on our own private beach was a luxury. Our son lived in the lake while I read my book on the beach and my husband kayaked and fished in the surrounding waters. We had everything that we needed and the groceries and restaurants were 10 minutes away. We even spent a day golfing at Six-Foot Bay golf course about 15 minutes away. The washer and dryer are such a huge bonus for not having to pack as much clothing. It was an absolute pleasure to stay in this cottage. I can still hear the loons while we sat on the patio with a glass of wine after our son went to bed. Thank you Tania, for a wonderful vacation!

| This cottage was wonderful... and I mean WONDERFUL. It was so perfect for our small family. The sandy beach and shallow water was perfect for our 3 and 6 year old grandkids. The cottage is so well equipped we didn't want for anything. The dishwasher and washer/dryer were an added bonus. The cottage is very spacious with comfortable furniture and beds. Lots of space if you have a rainy day (but we didn't). The cottage is so centrally located that we were able to get into Buckhorn, Young's Point and Lakefield. The cottage is located in a quiet inlet that's a short boat ride to the local marina for ice cream. The fishing was tremendous .... perch, small mouth bass, pickerel, sunfish ... and wildlife sightings were great .... osprey, blue herons (did you know they nest in trees), geese, ducks, racoons, chipmunks. The owner was quickly accessible by email and so very helpful. The neighbours are super friendly and helpful as well. We will definitely be returning to this cottage next year.

Rooms are spacious, kitchen is great....it's a home away from home ...will definitely be contacting Tania for next year

| The cottage was perfect. It is actually much bigger than the pictures show. usually you are disappointed when you arrive at a rental but this was the opposite we were very pleasantly surprised. The beach area was so safe for my one year old to play in the sand and the water. The living area of the cottage is very large and comfortable. The owner was so helpful and accommodating. Having the washing machine and dishwasher were also great extras. you couldn't ask for a better location. we really didn't want to leave, we could have easily stayed another week or 2
