Create wonderful memories at this well-maintained family cottage on stunning Jack Lake only 2 hours northeast of Toronto outside of the town of Apsley inside the Peterborough Game Preserve. The cottage is located in Sharpe’s Bay, a short 15 minute drive into town on a well-maintained road. Come spend days swimming, fishing, boating and laying in the sun! Clear water and deep swimming off the dock with no weeds. Watch breathtaking sunrises from the dock and sit in the sun until late afternoon. 

Enjoy relaxing on the back deck drenched in the sun until dusk. Ideal for children to run, play and lawn games.  

Equally spend time on the front deck with a patio set, BBQ, offering a view of the lake. A set of stairs and a slight sloped walk to the dock gives a wide view of Sharpe’s Bay. Nestled in a small, quiet bay which provides great fishing off the dock. Public boat launch is just minutes away by boat or car.

TESTIMONIALS

We had a great time, swimming, fishing, canoeing, sight seeing. We saw lots of deer, loons, turtles, ducks and a fox. The cottage was very comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. —James C. (Jul/Aug 2023)

We have been coming to Jack Lake for 30+ years and had never stayed anywhere different. We were unsure how we would feel about staying at a new place- but this place was fantastic. Peaceful, beautiful views, and everything we needed. Our family is very happy and plans on booking again next year! —Allie (Jul 2023)

Place was clean and comfortable water was crystal clear neighbours were friendly, weekend was super relaxing and homeowners were very friendly. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable get away or a place to unwind. —Jordan (Jun/Jul 2023)
