Great stay at a lovely cottage
We had a great time at Nadine's cottage for the last week of August. The view from the property is fantastic and we loved watching the light on the water as the sun was setting at the end of the day. The cottage, with 3 bedrooms and 4 beds, met our needs perfectly. The cottage was clean and all the appliances (stove, fridge, microwave) were newish.
We rented paddleboards and a kayak from kawarthaadventures.ca so we could do accompanied long distance swims out past the islands. Even though close to the Lovesick Lake locks, the lake didn't seem to get a lot of boat traffic and was nice and quiet.
The screened in porch was a lovely spot for meals.
Nadine was a great host and made our experience easy. Would definitely rent again.

Review from a family
Nadine the host was very welcoming and helpful, the cottage was very clean.
The lake was good for swimming (there were quite a few weeds but the entranceway was cleared out for easy access)
Fishing was by far one of the best we’ve experienced.
Overall a nice week away, very scenic area.

Wonderful!
We stayed at Nadine's cottage for 2 weeks in August and it was wonderful. Nadine and her family were so helpful and kind. We brought our kayaks and bikes, and there was ample room to store our trailer in the car park. If you enjoy kayaking you can't go wrong with this location - so many beautiful spots to explore! There are also a ton of places to visit in and around Buckhorn Lake - the Rotary Greenway bike trail from Lakefield to Trent was a big hit with our family. Our teenage son and his friend enjoyed fishing off the dock and even caught a couple bass. The paddle boat worked just fine to bring our groceries to the cottage from the car park (there is also a canoe). A couple other bonuses are the big dock (I could have sat on the dock forever watching sunsets) and comfortable beds (which is unusual for a rental cottage!). Highly recommend. We would definitely return!

Excellent kayaking
Loved the location on a very quiet lake. Although weedy for swimming it was nice to paddle to the next lake via a very cool wooden portage/exchange for a swim. Lovely property and excellent place to watch the Osprey everyday.
Nadine made us feel at home and was very accommodating ! Thank you!

Relaxing/Adventure - just what we wanted
This cottage was the perfect combination of adventure and the relaxing vacation our family was looking for. We were very happy with how private the location was (we did not have to THINK about this pandemic for 7 whole days!!) And the view!! You just can't beat it.

Beautiful spot!
Nadine was an amazing host. She was super helpful, flexible and quick to reply to any questions we had. The cottage itself is super cute and comes with an amazing canoe that we took out almost daily. The deck is huge and gets nearly a full day of sun! Even the neighbours are super friendly and thoughtful, offering us suggestions of things to see and places to go in the area.
We loved it here and will definitely be coming back.

Excellent cottage for family
Our family (myself, husband and our three boys aged 12, 10, 6) rented Nadine’s place in mid July, 2020. The set up of the cottage, especially the proximity and view of the lake was perfect for us. The boys could swim and fish anytime they wanted - they caught lots right off the dock! Drinking my morning coffee, reading my book, sitting in the screened in porch was my favourite!
Nadine was a warm, welcoming host who was always available to answer our questions. She made us feel like family.
The only thing I wish we had known ahead of time was that the water isn’t potable. So bring yourself a large container to save from having to buy at a grocery store.
We hope to return someday! Thank you Nadine.

Highlight of our 2020!
Our week's vacation at this lovely cottage was one to remember! Upon arrival, we met with the owner, Nadine, and she takes you over by boat to the cottage (a very short and comfortable boat ride). Nadine was very patient with the many many stuff that we had with us for the week and just made you felt like you've been going to her cottage for years! The cottage itself was clean and had everything we needed - it felt like home. The rooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. Fishing on this lake did not disappoint either. The views from the cottage and the dock were just so relaxing and peaceful. I really could rave on and on about this property. We had such an amazing time!
