Boating & Fishing. Upper Buckhorn Lake is exceptionally clear. It features rocky Canadian Shield shorelines and they are speckled with many rocky islands. Boating through here is a quintessentially Canadian experience, almost as though you're immersed in a Group of Seven painting. All that variety of rock, islands, and weed beds creates terrific habitats for many kinds of fish, particularly Large and Small mouth Bass, Walleye, Muskie, Bluegill, Perch, Crappy, and Carp. The fishing here is excellent!

| We just arrived home from a week at this beautiful cottage with our family of 10. The photos do not do it justice. The owners were good to deal with and keep their property in excellent condition and very clean. It is a large cottage with lots of room for everyone both inside and out. Although the town of Buckhorn is only a couple of minutes away it, the cottage still maintains the feeling of being away from everything. There were some weeds in the lake and if you have a mobility issue it may be a problem entering and exiting the lake if you want to swim. The view of the lake is spectacular and I can only imagine what autumn must be like there.

| I award this cottage a gold star! It's situated on a quiet, scenic part of the lake. Not too quiet that you couldn't experience the joy of seeing other boaters and water enthusiasts passing by, yet quiet enough that you could happily engage with family & friends without interruption. The lake is fully accessible to many other lakes with or without locks. The cottage was very clean, spacious and well equipped. Maria was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the entire process. She and Jamie are both so lovely and went above & beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. I urge you to reserve this cottage now before it's too late.

| This was a wonderful lake house, perfect for our Christmas vacation and extended family reunion with small kids. We had everything we needed, this is a clean and well maintained home. Beautiful views of the lake. Very quiet and peaceful area. The owner was very responsive, accommodating and flexible with our last minute request to book the place and our late check out due to weather conditions in December. Plenty of indoor and outdoor space to hang out, play, dine. It was a treat for both the adults and children in our group. We would love to go back!

| This place is absolutely incredible. The cottage is located in such a nice quiet part of the lake but not too far from all the places you would need to visit to have a good time. The lake had good activity on it with jet skies and boats, the occasional canoe'r and it wasn't too cold to jump in. We really enjoyed our time star gazing from the beautiful dock and we had enough firewood to keep a good fire going for awhile. The property is really well maintained and it had everything you need inside to entertain yourselves on a rainy day (ping pong table, darts, foosball). I had the opportunity to meet Jaime, who is really friendly and coordinating our whole trip with Maria was flawless. They are both awesome and the best part is that they just want you to have a good time! We will definitely be going back here and thank you again for allowing us to end the summer at your place.
