Sandy Lake Cottage - Family Lakefront Getaway

Two-floor cottage on Sandy Lake near the public beach. Direct water access in a shallow bay - great for small children, or for lounging all day in the water. The water is always warm! Southwestern exposure makes for great sunsets on the deck, the dock, or by the fire pit. Located on a quiet street nestled amongst several family cottages, a great place for you and your extended family, or 2 families to share.

Sandy lake is a shallow, spring-fed lake, and not directly on the Trent-Severn waterway, so there is minimal boat traffic. It is well known for it's exceptionally clear water, and green-blue hue reminiscent of the Carribbean. Two Kayaks, two inflatable SUPs, a Canoe, and a Pedalboat are available. A few standard-sized lifejackets and marine rescue kits are also available. Explore the 5km long lake at your leisure! If you enjoy fishing, you will find largemouth and smallmouth bass, walleye and panfish in the lake.

Central A/C for the main floor and a heat pump upstairs keep the cottage nice and cool on those more scorching summer days, though the shade from the mature trees typically keeps the cottage cool enough. Ceiling fans are located throughout the house and all bedrooms.

The town of Buckhorn is a short 5 minute drive away and provides access to LCBO, restaurants (pizza, chinese, pub & grill), Foodland, and Home Hardware. A longer, 30 minute drive will take you into the iconic Kawartha Lakes town of Bobcaygeon. For bigger outings, movies, or shopping, Peterborough is only a 35 minute drive south.
