Luxury Home On 100+ Acre Sandy Beachfront Lake!

AJRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Jesse is an amazing host. He was constantly checking in with us about our comfort. The house was squeaky clean. The highlight is the kayaks and paddle-boats. Kids had a lot of fun. House is pretty big with lots of area in the living rooms to sit and chit-chat. All in all a perfect getaway for big families.

Cheerful 3 bedrooms townhouse

SabrinaRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Great airbnb - would recommend! Stayed for 8 months and was good for our family with two small kids! Three large bedrooms (one in basement) and one office upstairs, all amenities were provided - plenty of kitchen utensils, plates, lots of baby things (high chair, brezza maker, safety gates), and well stocked. The location is nice - close to a huge park and community center with library and swimming pool (across one major road only!) and nice trail right behind. Close to Costco (7-8 mins) and lots of good restaurants within 10-15 mins drive :) ravine lot at the back so lots of privacy! Host, Eva, was super responsive and replied quickly, whenever there was any issues she replied asap, and was clear in all her instructions! Beautiful spacious airbnb , three floors and one basement , would recommend for any family !

Muskoka Cabana - Sandy beach cottage in Muskoka

VasilikiRating, 5 stars6 months ago
We really enjoyed our stay at Muskoka Cabana. The location is stunning, right at the water's edge with beautiful, peaceful views of the lake. The outside deck is amazing and really spacious. We did feel that the access was a bit tricky, but I guess the location compensated for that. The cabana itself is really tastefully done, with beautiful homey touches and the kitchen was well equipped. Overall, this was a great stay.

Had a great stay at Eva's place. Eva was very responsive in answering us and also very clear with instructions. The house was kept neat and tidy and location was calm and peaceful. When propane has was out, she was kind enough to get a new one as a replacement. Highly recommend for anyone/family for a weekend getaway. Thanks you Eva for letting us stay at your place.

Jen's place was a perfect venue for a get together with some old friends. We enjoyed the camp fire, sat on the dock, and took a walk on the nice trail that's just a short walk away. The cottage had everything we needed. Thanks for a great weekend!

Relaxing Cottage Getaway, on Beautiful Fraser Lake

ChelseaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Rebecca’s place felt like home away from home as soon as you stepped inside. It had lots of seating and was very comfortable. Even though the lake was still frozen over the grounds were so nice we were able to spend lots of time outside with the dogs. It’s hard to find this level of accommodation that also accepts pets. There were dog beds and gates set up that made having our dogs there easy and safe but no sign of other pets having been there like smell or hair making it ideal for those who aren’t with pets as well. Hot tub was well maintained and gorgeous views! All amenities needed and beautiful bathrooms. Felt like a 5 star hotel with cottage amenities with the layout, items provided and decor. Would 10/10 stay again! Looking forward to heading back when the weather is nice for some time on the lake and in the walkable shoreline! Thanks again Rebecca!

Your guide to Buckhorn

Welcome to Buckhorn

This small community on Buckhorn Lake is a great base for exploring eastern Ontario’s Kawarthas region. A 30-minute drive north of Peterborough, the area’s commercial hub, Buckhorn is located along the Trent-Severn Waterway — a historic canal, built between the 1830s and the 1880s, which connects Georgian Bay to Lake Ontario. With more than 40 locks, the waterway is a well-used route for recreational boaters. In Buckhorn, one of Canada’s largest retail art galleries occupies a multilevel space overlooking the lake, and the country’s largest collection of Indigenous rock carvings is also in the region. Cool off on a warm summer day at the town’s Sandy Lake Beach, or head for other nearby lakes to paddle or swim. North of Buckhorn, escape into the wilderness at southern Ontario’s second-largest provincial park, Kawartha Highlands Signature Site, which has an extensive network of canoe routes, from day-trip paddles to multi-day wilderness adventures. Wherever you venture around the lakes, stop for a butter tart, Ontario’s signature pastry.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Buckhorn

Spring is maple syrup season around Buckhorn and across eastern Ontario, when you can see how the trees are tapped, join in maple festivals, and eat piles of pancakes topped with local syrup. March — when there’s normally still snow on the ground — is generally when the maple festivities take place. In summer and fall, it’s all about hiking, canoeing, cycling, swimming, and scouting for fresh produce at local farm markets. Leaf-peeping, pumpkin festivals, and the annual Kawartha Autumn Studio Tour are bonuses of a September or October visit. In winter, many of the region’s hiking routes become cross-country ski or snowshoe trails, and local outfitters can teach you to ice-fish. Expect snow and freezing temperatures from December through March.


Top things to do in Buckhorn

Petroglyphs Provincial Park

Canada’s largest known collection of Indigenous petroglyphs is located in this provincial park, 35 minutes east of Buckhorn. In the visitor center at Petroglyphs Provincial Park, you can get an introduction to the site and its history, before following a short trail through the forest to “The Teaching Rocks,” where hundreds of carvings depict people, birds, snakes, and other images. The petroglyphs are a sacred site for local Indigenous communities, so follow the guidance of park interpreters to visit respectfully.

Curve Lake First Nation

In this First Nations community, about 20 minutes south of Buckhorn via Highways 23 and 22, stop into the Curve Lake First Nation Cultural Centre to learn about the history and present-day culture of this Indigenous nation. Visitors are also welcome at the annual Curve Lake First Nation Powwow, normally held in late September, and at local celebrations for National Indigenous Peoples Day in June.

Kawarthas Northumberland Butter Tart Tour

A signature sweet of this Ontario region is the butter tart, a personal-sized pie filled with an oozing mix of butter, sugar, and eggs. More than 50 bakeries, cafés, and other sweet shops throughout the Kawarthas have organized this Butter Tart Tour, a self-guided drive from tart to tart, with an online map to direct your sampling. Bring plenty of napkins.
