Renovated (2020 – 2021)

Enjoy this relaxing summer retreat for families and/or friends nestled in the rocks, on a bay leading out to Lower Buckhorn Lake through a beautiful, scenic rock passageway.  Enjoy the large, private deck with BBQ, picnic table with umbrella and outdoor furniture over looking the gardens, firepit, storage shed, boathouse and bay.

Inside the bungalow you will find clean new bedrooms, mattresses, bathroom with shower, large table for eating/games/cards, comfortable living room and a kitchen with stove, microwave, fridge, toaster, blender, kettle, and pretty much anything you would require to make the master feast or just a quick sandwich!

The cottage is situated on a beautiful, winding road wonderful for taking long walks and Wolf Island Provincial Park is at the end of the street!  Pride of Ownership is Apparent!

TESTIMONIALS

Second year, same great experience. Peaceful, relaxing and not a worry – this is just what you want when you are on vacation. Even managed to catch a couple of fish. Lisa and Tim were great to deal with. Highly recommend this site if you want to unwind. Thank you for everything. — Jan F. (June 2024)

I have to say that this was the most relaxing vacation I have had in a very long time. It was so peaceful, I forgot it could be that quiet – only sounds were a chatting red squirrel, some chickadees and leaves falling. The cottage was beautiful, we wanted for nothing. Lisa and Tim were great to work with and answered all questions a timely manner. I am quite sure that we will be repeating our experience there again. Thank you to all that made this happen. — Jan F.
