About this cottage rental
Welcome to Jacob’s Lakehouse - a waterfront cottage on Upper Buckhorn Lake, about two hours from Toronto and five minutes from Buckhorn.
Enjoy sunset views, two decks, a wood-burning fireplace and a games room, with space for family meals and time together. Spend summer days exploring the lake, take in autumn colours from the waterfront, or settle in for a quiet winter weekend of fireside evenings and friendly competition downstairs.
🏡 THE COTTAGE
The open-concept kitchen, dining and living area keeps everyone connected, whether you’re preparing dinner, playing a board game or relaxing by the fireplace. Warm wood finishes and lake views give the space its welcoming cottage feel.
The kitchen includes a dishwasher, and Wi-Fi is available throughout your stay. For quieter downtime, the sunroom offers lake views, a reading library and a selection of board games.
Downstairs, the recreation room includes:
• Pool table
• Ping-pong
• Dartboard
• Karaoke
• Smart TV
🛏️ BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS
Three bedrooms accommodate up to seven guests:
• Bedroom 1: One queen bed
• Bedroom 2: One double bed
• Bedroom 3: One single-over-double bunk bed
Two pullout couches in shared living areas provide additional sleeping space, bringing maximum occupancy to ten.
Linens and towels are provided.
The cottage has one full indoor bathroom and one powder room. An outdoor shower overlooking the lake is available seasonally.
🌅 WATERFRONT & OUTDOOR SPACE
Take in northwest lake views and sunsets from the two decks, relax in the hammock swing, or gather around the waterfront firepit when weather permits.

During the warmer months, guests can enjoy:
• Two kayaks
• A stand-up paddleboard
• A three-person canoe
• A two-person pedal boat
• A large floating water mat
Life jackets are provided in a variety of sizes.
🎣 FISHING
Bring your fishing gear! Upper Buckhorn Lake offers fishing for bass, walleye, muskie and panfish. Cast from the dock or explore the lake, following applicable fishing seasons, licensing requirements and regulations.

We look forward to welcoming you to Upper Buckhorn Lake.

Jacob our host was wonderful to communicate with. The "vibe" in regard to our booking experience and stay was one of rustic relaxation....a true cottage in a beautiful location! We appreciated that everything was clean, fresh and warm upon our winter arrival. The kitchen was so well equipped that the kids and I were able to bake after playing in the snow. There was no shortage of tissues or toilet paper and anything we needed like soaps, dishwasher tabs or tinfoil was available. The linen closet had plentiful towels, blankets and even extra pillows. I would caution families with mobility issues or young members that there are MANY steep stairs to navigate on the property but the views from the different levels are lovely.My only regret is that I wasn't able to spend time and explore in the warmer weather. I believe the sunroom would have been my favorite space...its like an oasis from the rest of the house. It's bright, airy and perfect for enjoying a coffee and a good book.I would highly recommend this property to those searching for a traditional cottage getaway with great views in a community setting.
