HIGH-SPEED INTERNET, - POTABLE WATER. 4x4 or ALL WHEEL DRIVE for winter bookings - Clean, quiet and comfortable with a view directly facing Bass Lake! Just 2 hours from Toronto, accessible via 401, 407. The scenic drive into the Kwarthas / Peterborough County sets the stage for a relaxing getaway. Our cottage is located just 20 minutes outside of Bobcaygeon, Ontario on Bass Lake Road. The main cottage and cabins have power and electric heat for those chilly nights. This hideaway is great for relaxing with friends and family all year round. Spring, Summer, Winter, Fall - each season offers a very unique experience.

Great for avid ATV'rs and snowmobilers. In close proximity to The Bobcaygeon Twin Mountains Snowmobile Club Snow, ATV & Snowmobile enthusiasts have access to over 159 kilometers of trails!

We had an great time at the cottage. The kids loved fishing off the dock and we all made use of the kayaks and paddle boat. The fridge was a little small for 12 people and the depth of the water for swimming was disappointing. A great place to get away from it all.

R&R at Bass Lake

Exactly what we were looking for ... a wonderful charming cottage with everything we needed. Lots of space for everyone and the bunkies are great for spreading out. We love the fall and did enjoy a little quieter time of year. All had a great time in the water and we did some fishing ... everybody had a great time. Will make this a regular family gathering !!

Go relax

The Bass Lake house was everything and more. Always something to do - from kayaking, canoeing, or relaxing on one of the many loungers. On a rainy day, curling up on the couch and watching Netflix will definitely book it again.

Family cottage

We really enjoyed our stay. Lots of kayaks and canoes were so comfy. Lake is calm and quiet. Comfy beds. Outdoor grills were fun and great. Internet worked great and Netflix and prime all set up. Enjoyed our stay and the outdoor picnic tables were great for our birthday party. Frogs and chipmunks made for lots of entertainment for the boys.

Family Vacation

Mark's place is a lovely peaceful place to stay. A very beautiful and quiet area. Their home is spotless and well supplied with everything. The kayaks and canoes were a wonderful addition for our visit as we utilized them many time during our stay. Loved the bunkies! My grandson throughly enjoyed the opportunity to sleep in the upper bunk of the bunky with his mom. Mark thank you, our stay at your home was a wonderful experience for all of us.

Wonderful week away in Bobcaygeon

Great cottage! Well stocked of the essential kitchen items and outdoor activities including canoes, kayas etc. I really love the setup in the backyard with the water access especially with the little "beach" entrance to it. The bunkies were a nice addition as it is added privacy away from the main cottage if need be(ie taking care of a small child or a movie night without disturbing early sleepers). Mark is a great host - very thorough and responsive to communication. He also seems like he genuinly wants feedback so he can further improve the place, which is refreshing to see. I would absolutely love to come back to the bass Lake retreat. Thanks for hosting us, Mark!

Beautiful Lakeview cottage

The cottage is in a very remote area and has a good amount of room. We were a party of 6 adults, 1 teenager & 1 child. The 2 bunkies were also a good size. The cottage had most everything we needed. I had overlooked toilet paper on the list of what to bring and there was none, so don't forget to bring some! Also, you will be surrounded by many trees and still water so be sure to bring plenty of bug spray! The mosquitoes & horse flies are thick in the evening. There is a screened in deck to sit in during Mosquitofest but put a damper on having campfires - Definitely bring full insect gear. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets, lots of family time & the sound of loons.

Family Getaway

Great location for a family getaway. Cottage was well equipped and clean. The flat top grill was amazing, especially for breakfasts. Did not like the fact that we had to make a trip to town to top off the propane tanks before leaving. I’ve rented many places and this was a first for me. Loved having the bunkies, it was a great experience for the younger generation. The new couch was lovely. I have to admit that it made me nervous, especially with having young ones around. I cringed every time someone sat on it. The lake was beautiful, not too many motorized boats. Ideal location for the kids to practice their paddling skills. Neighbours were friendly and informative with local activities and lake information. Mark was quick to respond to questions and very pleasant to deal with. Would book again in the future.

Great for an extended family getaway

The main cottage and two bunkies worked very well for our extended family gathering of six adults and two kids. Because the living/dining/kitchen area is fairly small it would be a squeeze to be indoors in extended bad weather, but the outdoor decks and lake are fantastic. We had a great stay.

Great family vacation

We had a great stay at this cottage as a family. The seating outside was wonderful to enjoy watching people swim and to enjoy our meals together. The kitchen was well stocked and didn't need to bring anything. Lots of dishes for a a family of 12. Lots sleeping available and comfortable beds. Mark was a very responsive to any questions we had prior to the stay and during the stay. Would highly recommend this accommodation.

We stayed here for a week in early July. There were 5 adults and one kid. We had an awesome time. The cottage is well-appointed and spacious. With the two bunkies, our group had lots of space to relax and enjoy the week. The beds were all super comfy. We enjoyed cooking outside on the grill and spending our days relaxing on the spacious front desk and loungers. Only complaint all week was the bugs! Pack your bug spray... the deer flies were hungry. Overall, we had an amazing time and will definitely be back. Mark was an amazing host - great communication and easy to reach if we needed anything.

Beautiful cottage, lots of room and has everything for kitchen and enjoying the waterfront. Easy to catch small fish and frogs from dock, very shallow but when you swim out there are large flat rocks to stand on and then drops deep on other side. Great with our dog with screened in porch and loops on dock to attach rope.Plenty of space for extended family. - not that we needed it. One bunkie had nice mini couch with tv and lots of dvds to give the teens their own space.Very accessible with ramp from one side of cottage, easy to get onto back deck and grab bars in washroom. Lots of plastic chairs and loungers, noodles… paddles, lifejackets etc. Nice and quiet.. good privacy from the world. Couldn’t have fires because of fire ban but otherwise perfect!

Fun weekend with friends

Property was clean and as showed in the pictures. Mark was friendly and was extremely helpful upon checking to answer any questions I had opening the cottage. The cottage itself is very close to neighbouring cottages, being right on the lake sound carry’s easily. Some of the beds only hold up to 140lbs, meaning if we had any more people up for the weekend, there would have been no more room to sleep. Would be a absolutely fantastic place for a family to stay!

Family getaway

View from the deck/dock is amazing, great quiet place for a vacation. Keep in mind the water is shallow even off the dock which was fine for us with small kids. The kayaks provided were great as the water was calm and great for water activities. The living room furniture is a little on the old side and a little tougher to get out of if you have older family members. It is cottage country so make sure to pack the bug spray. Mark was very responsive and the place had everything you needed for cooking. You can get some great sunset pics from the dock at night

2 thumbs up

My family stayed at Mark’s cottage 26Jun-3July - 2x 70+ yo, 2x 50+ yo, 2x 30+ yo and a 3 & 5 yo. We had a great time kayaking, canoeing and swimming with something for everyone to enjoy. The cottage and bunkies were clean and stocked with everything we could need. We had more than enough sleeping options (we all like our own beds) and enjoyed the privacy of the bunkies. All in all, aside from some rain and deer flies which are all part of the experience it was a perfect week in an amazing location. Thank you Mark for sharing this gem of yours and for your responsiveness and care before and during our stay.

Double Booking Disaster

We arrived to what should have been a blissful week at a cottage. We were greeted by another family who had already moved their stuff in. As you can imagine, this was a disaster. Because we had booked through VRBO, the host told us we would have to leave. Six adults and four children under 11. We spent from 6-9:30 talking to VRBO in a Tim Horton's parking lot. No alternate Places to be found on the busiest week of the summer. No local hotels either. We had to drive back home. It was the worst experience possible. VRBO was no help as there was not one other property available. DO NOT REWARD THIS HOST by booking with him. Please consider somewhere else. To top it all off, I have stage four cancer. Another chance may not come along. This host is terrible.
