Waterfront Cottage | Private Dock, Canoes & SUPs

My wife and I spent a week here with our 2 year old and 6 month old. We had such a great time! The place is beautiful and the kitchen is super well stocked. My 2 year old son was kept busy the whole time by the sandbox and steps into the lake. Thanks Michelle and Ryan for a fantastic stay!

We had a fantastic time on our week long stay! The hosts really help you feel right at home from the moment you check in. It was clean and had many baby friendly amenities which made packing easier. The sandy beach area was a huge hit for our toddler who spent hours playing with the provided beach toys in the sand. The interior of the cottage was great. Comfortable beds, spacious, lots of comfy seating and a fantastic sunroom where we enjoyed sitting, especially during the rain storm we had. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need including a blender, air fryer, instant pot and dishwasher. The weather was too cold for swimming but there was a nice shallow area that would be fun in the summer. Keep in mind the swimming area is only as far as the dock goes out into the lake as there are lots of weeds in the water past the dock. We took short trips to Buckhorn, Bobcaygeoon and Peterborough when we were there. All had some great spots to eat and nice playgrounds for our toddler. I would highly recommend this cottage for a wonderful family stay in the Kawarthas.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful cottage. It had everything we excepted and more. Very well stocked with all the right kitchen items. We also enjoy the fireplace by the lake shore. It was just a terrific location on beautiful Buckhorn Lake.

Had a great weekend away at Lazy Bear Cottage with a group of friends. The cottage is spacious and very well equipped with everything you need. The paddle boards and floating mat were great for enjoying the lake during the day and the sunset views from the private dock were beautiful! Would absolutely stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay here. Starting with the drive up, it was exactly as we had hoped. Checking in was seamless and we were greeted with the cutest basket of goodies on the kitchen island. It is the coziest cottage and has absolutely everything you could need. They even made sure to have the dogs items covered which was amazing! We spent almost the entire time down by the water whether it was paddle boarding, canoeing or the kids jumping off the dock. There were plenty of sand toys which was a nice break when the kids needed a rest from the water. We started our mornings playing one of the many board games and since being home, have added more games to our collection! We made meals together which was convenient as they had absolutely everything you could need to cook a nice meal. We spent the rest of the day at the water and enjoyed fires in the evening as well as fishing off the dock. The cottage is spotless, cozy and truly feels like home. We mentioned several times how at home and how at peace we all felt. We can't wait to come back next year and make it a family tradition at this beautiful cottage. One of our favourite parts is how our kids could walk into the water and swim on their own as it is shallow enough to do so, but deep enough that they could jump off and have a blast. We are grateful for our experience and opportunity to stay here and we look forward to many more stays!

It was great. Thanks so much

We were extremely impressed with the cleanliness of the property inside and out. The thoughtfulness of having everything we needed to make our stay the most comfortable. The beds and linens were fresh, extremely comfortable and pristine. They truly thought of everything to ensure our stay was memorable and enjoyable and they were easy to communicate with. Great fishing from the dock was also a huge plus!

The Lazy Bear Lakehouse is such a beautiful and cozy place; the owners Michelle and Ryan have thought of everything! Such excellent hosts! The location really made for a relaxing and memorable stay with family. An ideal and pleasant getaway from the city. A beautiful place to get away, unplug and enjoy nature; cozying up around a nice fire outdoors was a highlight! We our planning another visit (longer next time), and we will be recommending your lovely place to everyone!! Thank you so much for everything and looking forward to another visit. All the best et à bientôt!

This cottage was an absolutely perfect getaway for me and my family. We spent a relaxing week, jumping in the lake, enjoying the views and soaking up the sun & fresh air. Michelle's place is even nicer and more well equiped than in the photos. I would definitely stay here again!

We like the cottage a lot and are considering to rent it again in the future. Three recommendations: Put mosquito repellants on deck and fire pit, fix door to deck, and include a couple of kayak.
