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.
During your stay at this cottage, you're just a quick walk from Golden Lake. The cottage includes amenities such as a kitchen and a fireplace.
  • The cottage offers a kitchen, a washing machine, and a fireplace
  • WiFi for a fee
  • 0.1 mi (0.1 km) from Golden Lake and 8.3 mi (13.4 km) from Homestead at Wolf Ridge

Beautiful property, great for families
We stayed as a family of four with two young children at the end of summer. The property is beautiful and the water very shallow quite a ways out so it was perfect for our 1.5 and 2.5 year olds. They had a blast playing in the water, riding around in the kayak and playing with some beach toys provided. The cottage got both very hot and cold while we were there with the fluctuating temps that week. The fans in every room work wonders and there is heating if needed. Adequate and comfortable linens provided. Some toiletries if needed. Really nice to have a washer and dryer on site if you need to wash and dry towels or clothing you brought up. All the comforts of home including a dishwasher, coffee machine etc. TVs also in every room which was convenient. As others have mentioned, it seemed as though there were not a lot of mosquitoes but the ones that got us were the itchiest we have ever experienced. Property was secluded / private enough though you could see some neighbouring cottages/guests a ways away. Hosts were prompt with responses to any correspondence. I think the biggest take away was that we had a very comfortable stay as a family of four with small children.

peaceful cottage experience.
To any one looking for a peaceful cottage experience as we were, Loon Lodge on Golden Lake is ideal. There was a cool ambiance of a log cabin with all the modern amenities one could possibly need. The beach is sandy, the water crystal clear. We would definitely return and recommend it to friends. The fire pit seemed a little dangerous. It is so large one must step into the pit to add wood to fire. Although the water was reportedly safe to drink the smell was so off putting we strongly recommended quest bring drinking water.

We had a wonderful stay. The cottage was well equipped and the beach front was perfect. We went kayaking and enjoyed the beautiful sunsets each night. We loved watching all the water fowl and got some amazing photos of them. Our stay was perfect. I'd go back. Loved it there.

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!

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.
