Waterfront Cottage | Private Dock, Canoes & SUPs

Escape to total privacy on Buckhorn Lake, under 2 hours from the GTA. The Lazy Bear is a secluded, family-first retreat featuring 90ft of private shoreline with rare, shallow-step entry—perfect for kids.

Relax in our bug-free sunroom, explore the lake with provided paddleboards and a 4-person canoe, or cozy up by the wood-burning fireplace. With central AC, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a 7-minute drive to groceries, it’s the perfect blend of rugged beauty and modern convenience.

This isn't a typical investment rental—it’s our personal family sanctuary, tucked far back from the road for a more secluded stay. The lakeside is level and easy to navigate, making the walk from the cottage to the water safe and accessible for all ages.

THE COTTAGE & SUNROOM

SLEEPING: Two bright bedrooms with queen beds for adults and a dedicated "kids’ zone" with a double-over-double bunk bed.

KITCHEN & DINING: We pride ourselves on a truly well-stocked kitchen. Whether you are brewing morning coffee or preparing a full family dinner, you’ll find all the cookware, gadgets, and essentials you need to feel right at home.

THE SUNROOM: Our favourite spot in the house. An enclosed, bug-free sanctuary where you can enjoy the lake breeze and panoramic views without the mosquitoes.

COMFORT: Fully updated with central AC for humid summer nights and a cozy wood-burning fireplace for crisp lakeside evenings.

FAMILY-FIRST AMENITIES

As parents ourselves, we know the "gear struggle." We’ve stocked the lakehouse to help you pack lighter:

- High chair and baby bathtub
- Children’s cutlery and plates
- Adult and child-sized life jackets
- Smart TV and board games for rainy afternoons

GUEST FAVOURITES & CONVENIENCE

WATERFRONT: Large private dock, lakeside fire pit, 4-person canoe, and 2 stand-up paddleboards.

CONNECTIVITY: High-speed Wi-Fi for remote work and a dedicated washer/dryer for longer stays.

PROXIMITY: While you'll feel miles away from everything, groceries and the LCBO are just a 7-minute drive away.

WINTER ACCESS All wheel drive and winter tires are strictly required from December to March. The downhill driveway is steep and can be difficult to navigate in snow without proper equipment.

SEASONAL DOCK The dock is typically available from the May Long Weekend through Thanksgiving. Exact dates are weather-dependent.

PET POLICY Dogs welcome upon request. Please keep pets leashed outdoors, minimize barking, and clean up after them.

COMMUNITY & NOISE We are in a quiet residential area. Please observe quiet hours after 11:00 PM and be respectful of our neighbours.

SHORELINE & SWIMMING The entry area is sandy-bottomed and kept clear for swimming. Please expect some weeds in the deeper water off the end of the dock.
