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).
