Create Unforgettable Memories at This Idyllic Vacation Retreat. Big Bald Lake is nestled on the northern point of Pigeon Lake, just 5 minutes west of Buckhorn and 20 minutes from Bobcaygeon or Lakefield. This 4-bedroom cottage rental awaits your arrival.

Step inside and be greeted by an inviting open-concept living room, kitchen, and dining area, all under a vaulted ceiling with expansive windows that frame stunning lake views. A cedar-screened porch connects the main living space to a two-tiered deck, complete with a bar area – perfect for enjoying drinks with friends and family while soaking in the beautiful scenery.

The cottage also boasts a finished lower-level rec room that can easily be transformed into additional sleeping quarters. This exquisite property offers more than just remarkable lake views; it provides a serene forest setting and exceptional privacy. The pie-shaped lot widens to an impressive 300 feet of lake frontage, with options to swim from the dock or in the sandy shallows – ideal for the little ones. The water is a sand / packed silt walk-in bottom and slopes to approximately 4-5 feet deep at the end of the dock where water fun can be had for approximately 10 feet before transitioning to aquatic vegetation.

The gentle slope from the house to the lake reveals expansive open areas perfect for a variety of lawn games, a charming treehouse, and plenty of space for children to run, play, and explore.

This exquisite cottage was formerly a year-round home for the owners, ensuring comfort and functionality for all your needs.

This is where tranquility meets adventure, and cherished memories are waiting to be made. Book today!
