About this cottage rental
Three-bedroom cottage on Lower Buckhorn Lake sleeps 6 comfortably. One bath with stand-up shower. Open concept kitchen and dining area with views out to the lake. Cozy living room with wood fireplace, TV & pull out couch. Enjoy beautiful views of the lake from the large deck or sit around the fire pit & enjoy breath-taking sunsets. Newly built wood burning sauna for guests to relax in. The lake provides excellent fishing, swimming, and boating (1 canoe, 2 kayaks & 14ft Lund boat provided).
June to Sept Saturday to Saturday 7-day bookings only.
Less than 30min from Peterborough and only two hours from Toronto, our cottage is south facing, located in a quiet bay, sheltered from boat traffic on Lower Buckhorn Lake. Watch herons, otters and other wildlife off the dock as you sip your morning coffee or paddle to nearby Wolf Island Provincial Park for views of granite shores and the nature that surrounds. The sandy shoreline is perfect for young children; it is wade-in and very gradually sloped. Depending on the time of year the water can be weedy in parts of the bay however there is good swimming off the island right out front.
If you have a boat or are planning to rent one, you can moor it at the dock. There are several boat launches nearby - ask for details if you are anticipating using one. Feel free to use aluminium boat, kayaks or the canoe provided.
Walk out from the living room to the large deck where you can enjoy relaxing in the hammock. The entire outside area is flat, with lots of space for activities - a variety of outdoor games are provided. Wood for the sauna, fireplace or fire pit may be purchased at the Foodland or Home Hardware in Buckhorn (do NOT take wood from the surrounding bush, if trees are damaged you will forfeit you will be charged an additional fee).
Kitchen is fully equipped with: microwave, toaster, coffee maker, pots, pans, utensils, fridge, and stove.
Though the water is UV filtered from the spring fed well we use a jug for drinking water - one full jug will be provided. If you need additional water there is a refill station at the Home Hardware in Buckhorn.
Leave the cottage in the condition you found it, dispose of all garbage and recycling (instructions and card for disposal at the local dump is provided). Ensure you remove all food from the fridge. If the cottage has been left a mess you will be charged an additional cleaning fee.

Our stay on Lower Buckhorn Lake was very relaxing. It was easy to find. The cottage has a great view of the lake from all the sliding doors.
The kayaks were such a wonderful asset. The lake has a lot of beautiful areas to explore.
The cottage accommodated us & our visitors comfortably. I would suggest a supply of glassware though, there only seemed to be mason jars in the cupboard.
Our hosts were readily available to answer any of our inquiries.

It was a nice place. Weedy off dock so swimming was not nice.
Area is great with a lot of places to visit.
