Beachfront holiday rental in Nipissing District

The night stay was smooth and easygoing, offering reliable service and great comfort throughout. It’s affordable and durable in quality, truly way better in every aspect. Had a great time, to be honest!

We had a great little fall getaway weekend and the cottage was perfect. It was just the 2 of us plus our 2 little dogs, which made for a very quiet, peaceful and relaxing escape. The sun rise and sunset over the lake is picturesque! The cottage had all the amenities we needed to cook our meals and just relax. Kim was wonderful to correspond with and was able to offer us an early check in and checkout to make the most of our weekend. Would definitely recommend a visit to this wonderful cottage on Pickerel Lake!

The view from the balcony pays for the place! So peaceful and the sauna was great. Wish the weather was more cooperative but there’s load to do at this cottage.

We had an absolutely magical stay at this lakeside cottage! The attention to detail in the space was remarkable, with every corner thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation. The kitchen was well-stocked, making it a joy to cook meals, and the wood-burning fireplace added the perfect cozy touch for our winter evenings. The views were breathtaking—each window felt like looking at a postcard, with stunning vistas of the lake and surrounding nature. Laura's hospitality truly stood out; she went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for a memorable stay. The location is unbeatable. Being just a short drive to Algonquin Park allowed us to enjoy some fantastic hikes with our dog and we loved returning to the peaceful setting of the cottage afterward. This cottage is a gem, and we can't wait to return. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a serene getaway or a cozy work-from-home option.

love the peace and quiet, being unplugged, there was great fishing close by. cottage was fully stocked with everything needed and then some.

My husband and I spent a few nights here and it was fantastic. Brad and Erin were friendly and very responsive! The cottage was everything we were looking for. Quant, private, hot tub, on the lake, pet friendly. What more could you ask for? Highly, highly recommend!

Awesome place and Michael was extremely helpful and supportive with the check in and check out time. Great place and surely a once again visit place. Thank you Michael and to your family. ❤️. It was an indeed a wonderful time we had and enough rest and relaxation

We booked the airbnb very last minute and Lixin reached out to us promptly and gave us clear instructions. The cottage is stunning , it actually looks better than the pictures. overall, we had a wonderful weekend over there.

Bowhey’s is such a special place. All the amenities, clean cabins, staff is always busy working on something to make it even more beautiful. Ian is so great and laid back. Saturday night karaoke should not be missed! We will definitely be back.

Ian is a great host very friendly and professional. Amenities are well kept from the swimming pool to the fish cleaning hut, you can buy even premium gas for your boat and enjoy a Saturday evening karaoke. Definitely we will come back again.

My first time experiencing cottage life. Ian and his family are good hosts. My children loved Ian. This resort felt very safe. The people that were there were very kind and friendly. it was not overwhelming, it was just right. You do have to bring your own pillows and linen. My suggestion, bring a fan. keep you cool at night. There is hot water. Karaoke night was a lot of fun. no judgement. Ian has a big variety of music. If you are coming from the GTA, you are looking at about 5 to 6 hours of travel time depending on traffic. We didn't get to do the trails because our kids wanted to swim in the pool all day. However, there are trails around the area. Canoeing was a lot of fun and the paddle boards were a challenge but a lot of fun too. There is fire wood present for you to use if you want to make a bonfire. There is a convenience store down the street. They sell essential groceries, beer, liquor, first aid and hot food. Some of his cabins have a really good view of the lake.

Loved our stay. Ian was fantastic and friendly. Great location with everything we could ask for.

My family and I had a nice cozy experience staying on Ian's yacht. We relished the lake views, the dock, the stars, and the sunset, as well as the opportunity to cast our fishing line directly off the bow.

My 5-year-old daughter and I were on a road trip and we booked this very last minute. it was definitely the highlight of the trip and wish we would have stayed a couple of extra days. the water was beautiful in the evening with the sunset.

Ian's place is as described. His boat is clean, and the resort is well organized. He is one of the few hosts that is actually on-site, to help with anything needed; he is also very accommodating and easy-going. I didn't think there was actually going to be a karaoke night, as it had been described in the other reviews, but there was one. The whole area is conducive to a relaxed state of mind. my son and I enjoyed staying here and will very likely come back for some good fishing. Yes, we caught fish too, which was a plus.

Absolutely amazing. Spectacular location. Clean facilities. Amazing fishing. I can’t express how happy I am with our stay. THANK YOU GUYS.

We stayed at the Stillwater Cottages over the thanksgiving long weekend and the location and tiny house are just perfect. Amazing place if you are looking for some peace and quiet and want to be close to nature. We absolutely loved it! Thanks so much.

Brenda was a fantastic host and the place was absolutely beautiful. It was private and peaceful making it the perfect getaway! Brenda went out of her way to make us feel welcome and the odd thing we forgot, she happily provided. She even set up a surprise for my boyfriend because it was his 30th birthday, which was incredibly sweet! Her responses were always quick and helpful. I would definitely come back and recommend to other people. Thank you for a great weekend :)

Jackie’s cottage is an amazing and authentic way to enjoy the Canadian countryside. We felt very at home. Jackie was super responsive in case we had any questions. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home. Would recommend to all.

I just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Your hospitality, quick responses, and thoughtful recommendations really made a difference — especially the late checkout and local tips, which we truly appreciated. I’ll definitely recommend your place to friends and would be happy to stay again in the future. Thanks again for everything!

Such a peaceful location. We spent the evening on the dock watching the sky and listening to the Barred Owl, Loons, Spring Peepers, and American toad sing. It was magical. The place was immaculate and the ammenties were awesome! Took the kayaks out for a peaceful paddle and saw some beavers! Comfortable beds make for a serene sleep. If you are looking for a magical location for a family retreat, you have found the right one!

It's a very nice space - cozy, clean and right on the water, looks like it's been well cared for and well lived in. Not that fancy - you can relax in the non-pretentious, just a good cottage feels. There is room for many more than we had with us - the kitchen is well equipped and it was relaxing and peaceful. A cute fire pit, a beach and a dock to explore Buck Lake. The large bed is comfy, there are blankets everywhere, so when it's chilly - you're only steps away from warmth. The fireplace was nice at warming the place, but also you felt a great sense of ease as you looked out to the lake from many of the vantage points... overall it was very restful and relaxing. I would recommend this place to families and couples alike.

An absolute 5 Star all around! Friendly, proactive, and respectful hosts. This place is a beautiful spot for a small group of friends or family. Perfect Cottage vibe! I would recommend this place and certainly come back. Thank you:)

Absolutely beautiful cottage and location. The host (Jeff) was great to deal with and quick to respond to text messages. We stayed during the Family Day long weekend and it was continually snowing. With that, Jeff arranged for snow removal so that we had access to the cottage and even went as far to have a group of young lads come and shovel the decks/ walkways around the cottage!
