Loon Lodge - Golden Lake (Cottage & Bunkie -Sleeps 8 )

Amongst the towering pines and white birch trees, located on the beautiful south shore of Golden Lake Ontario, your lakefront log cottage and expansive private sandy beach awaits.
Golden Lake is famous for its soft, golden, sparkling, sandy bottom. Loon Lodge, located on Skelly’s Bay, is the perfect place for families and children to enjoy water activities due to its protective, natural cove and shallow waters.
This bright, newly renovated and highly updated, sunny cottage and bunkhouse (aka “the Bunkie”) with front row views of Golden Lake will take your breath away. The high vaulted ceilings and the spacious living areas comfortably accommodate 4 guests in the main cottage and 4 guests in the Bunkie.
Do you enjoy the call of the loon? If so, then step out onto your private deck that flanks the entire length of the cottage to enjoy a cup of coffee in the serenity of a quiet morning or the tranquility of a spectacular sunset at twilight. Just outside your door is Golden Lake and the beautiful unspoiled golden sandy beach that lines the entire cove.
Be sure to watch for a family of loons, and soaring seagulls as you stroll the beaches edge. You may even be as lucky to spot our elusive mink!
This newly updated and well- appointed cottage features a master bedroom with a queen size bed. The 2nd bedroom features a full-size bed. Both bedrooms have flat screen televisions with remote controls and new remote controlled ceiling fans with multiple settings for your comfort. The full-size bathroom with shower is adjacent to both bedrooms. The new furnishings create a log cottage feel and are completed with woodsy accents. Additionally, there is a fully furnished kitchen featuring granite countertops and a wine counter with hand-carved stools. The cottage has a dining area with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the lake and a large living area with a propane fireplace and comfortable furniture.
Vacationing with the family? Loon Lodge features a renovated, heated Bunkie (additional weekly rental fee) with a screened in porch. The expansive sandy beach offers plenty of room for children to build sand castles while the adults relax on the beach. There is a fire pit for evening campfires, and ample room to pull up multiple boats. Loon Lodge provides one rowboat with oars and a kayak with paddles for your boating enjoyment. Feel free to bring a boat or two along with you as well!
If fishing is your passion, then look no further. Golden Lake is noted for its plentiful bass and sizeable pickerel. Clean and prepare your fresh catch at the fish cleaning station complete with counter and utility sink, located just adjacent to the front entry, in the mudroom. We call it the “bowling alley”, you’ll see why!
Whatever your pleasure, we’ve got it covered! Loon Lodge offers the perfect vacation at the lake while being close to all the Ottawa Valley has to offer, just a short distance away.

Please, come experience this treasure for yourself. Relax; enjoy a glass of wine on your private deck, at the lake or on the beach. We are sure you will return time and time again, and will find that everything at this beach haven remains timeless.

A great week at Golden Lake
We had a very enjoyable week at Loon Lodge. The property is ideally situated on a nice sandy beach with beautiful sunsets. The cottage is well equipped and nicely set back from the water. Lots of kayaking, cycling, and hiking nearby. I highly recommend this cottage.

Golden Lake
The Lake is great for kayaking. There is a nice sandy beach and the water remains shallow for a long distance out. The property is located about one mile down a narrow unpaved road so be careful in a low clearance car.

Beachside Gem
This completely refurbished and tastefully-appointed home has retained all of the charm of its origins on Golden Lake. The two-bedroom main cottage and four-bed bunkie made it possible for our families to gather around the large dining table for family meals with a spectacular view and the sound of waves lapping the shoreline. The outdoor touches were also complete, with deck and lounge chairs, a wide deck for outdoor dining, and watercraft for paddling. This cottage covers it all with many added touches such as water games, sand toys, noodles, games and puzzles. It is obvious that this home is beloved by its personable hosts, and we felt lucky to share in the magic of Loon Lodge. (Yep…we saw the loons each day!)

Beautiful and tranquil
Beautiful property that is well maintained. The hosts are super responsive to all inquiries and a local property manager ensured that the place was up to standards. The kitchen has everything you need to make meals and the barbecue is really nice. There is a nice deck to sit on and enjoy the nature. Loons visited almost every day. We chose to wear water shoes as there are a few fresh water mussels in the water but there are not many so you could avoid them. The water is shallow with a really nice sandy bottom. There are ceiling fans throughout the cottage and they do a good job at circulating the air (although it wasn't super hot while we were there). The only con is that the second bedroom is small - we just left our suitcases in the master bedroom. We can't wait to return!! Thanks so much!

I rented the Loon Lodge for myself and three daughters between the ages of 16 and 20. The process was effortless and all response to questions was fast and excellent. The property was clean and well-supplied. I regularly rent cottages and this one is at the top of my list.

A lovely space
We had a lovely week here. The cottage was well supplied with everything we could possibly need. It was very clean and was exactly as described. The lake was lovely, warm and shallow quite a ways out. Great for kids. We had a loon family visiting every day and not too many motor boats so quite quiet.

Amazing place for families
We had a wonderful time at Loon Lodge last week. The water was shallow in the bay (adult waist deep even 20 m away from shore). The sandy beach was a hit with all the kids. I would recommend water shoes for little ones as there are some sharp mussels at the bottom of the lake. We rented a SUP at Barry's Bay outfitters, and along with the kayak provided, the kids were entertained for hours while adults enjoyed the serenity of cottage living. (Be sure to bring lifejackets for the kids) The house was well stocked with everything we needed from kitchen tools to cleaning supplies. There was a Keurig & brew coffee machine. We had good cell reception (Rogers LTE). The owner's parents were helpful and kind. Everything about this cottage was great for our family. We are looking into booking for next summer already! Thank you, Karen & family.

Loon Lodge is the perfect family vacation destination
We rented the cottage and bunkie so we would have space for our family of 6 which included 2 adults, 2 adult children and elderly grandparents. Loon Lodge was perfect in every way. The buildings and property are beautiful. The living space is modern and clean. The lake is clean and the beach is shallow and sandy. The generous deck provided lots of shade and outdoor space for the grandparents who have mobility issues. The loon family greeted us every morning and evening in front of the lodge, which is very appropriately named!! We loved kayaking and really appreciated the use of the boats. Hardly any mosquitoes which is unheard of in cottage country this summer. Would highly recommend and hope we will return to this beautiful summer haven.

Great family vacation
Our group had a wonderful time at Loon Lodge. The cottage and bunkie are absolutely beautifully done with spectacular views. It was the perfect mix of cottage feel and home comfort. The pictures don't do this place justice! We were all very impressed with the care that went into this property. The beach is huge and perfect for kids, as the water is very warm and shallow. I could sit back and relax without having to worry about the kids safety while playing in the water. We couldn't believe how far you could walk out! The owner and property managers were wonderful and kind, really making us feel welcome and comfortable. I would definitely come back to Loon Lodge in summers to come.

Loon Lodge
This cottage/bunkie has everything a family or couple is looking for from spacious interior to gorgeous beach. Everything is like new. Kitchen was super and dining table was big enough to fit everyone. Tv’s and fans in all the bedrooms and living room were a nice touch. Beds are comfortable. Bathroom is everything you need. Our favourite thing at the cottage was the expansive golden beach! You could walk for awhile before it gets to deep which was amazing for the children. Hands down best beach I’ve seen at a cottage in Ontario!! If you’re looking for an updated cottage on an amazing beach look no further. Also, the lake is great for fishing! The only thing that could be added to this place is wifi/internet mainly for the children/teens. We stayed at Loon Lodge the first week of July and expected to get swarmed by mosquitos but to our surprise there was barely any. Even at night it didn’t get bad which was surprising since we’ve stayed in the Muskoka and Haliburton area in July and at times it was unbearable. We hope to come back next year..
