Welcome to the Bear Den on beautiful Lake Bernard! Enjoy your own piece of paradise at our waterfront cottage just 2.5 hours north of Toronto. Shallow, sandy bottom lake access is great for families. Ideal location, only a 3 minute drive to the town of Sundridge. We hope to offer a 5-star experience for our guests and look forward to hosting you! We have over 40 five star reviews on another platform! If you're looking for a relaxing getaway year round, look no further. Our family friendly cottage has everything you'll need for your stay. Enjoy the bright, open concept living space with picturesque views of Lake Bernard. Our cottage has 3 bedrooms, office nook, fully equipped kitchen, open concept living/ dining area, 1.5 bathrooms and laundry. A large bunkie is also available during the summer by request. We sleep up to 6 adults and/or children from October-June and up to 6 adults plus additional children from July-September due to having the bunkie available in the summer.
During the summer guests can enjoy everything cottage country has to offer. Enjoy your days on the lake fishing, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, floating on the lily pad foam mat or lounging on the dock. Direct shallow entry lake access is ideal for families with children. Lots of swimming space off of the end of the dock (water is 2ft deep). There are weeds to the left of the dock but we have a nice clear runway for a great swimming/playing area directly from our dock. You can walk out approx 40 metres until it drops off to deeper water. In the evening, guest can enjoy lakeside bonfires under the stars.
During the winter cozy up on the couch in front of the warm gas fireplace and enjoy the stunning views of the snow covered lake. Ice fishing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling are popular winter activities on Lake Bernard. Walk directly from the cottage onto the lake for ice fishing & snowshoeing. Plenty of driveway space to park snowmobiles with access to sled on the lake just one minute down the road. Plenty of hiking trails to explore nearby.
Please note we have a train track across the road. The train runs approx. 2 times in a 24 time period.
1 Outdoor motion censored security camera is located on the garage and faces the driveway.

Everything inside and outside was beautifully clean and made it so easy to feel comfortable and at home.
