THE SANDY SHORES COTTAGE on PIGEON LAKE
Modern Comfort Meets Classic Kawartha Charm
Welcome to your private waterfront retreat. The Sandy Shores Cottage is more than just a rental; it is our cherished family escape that we’ve meticulously updated to ensure a warm, inviting environment for our guests. Located on a rare, oversized lot on the shores of Pigeon Lake, this property offers three distinct "zones" of entertainment - just 90 minutes from the GTA and 5 minutes from the heart of Bobcaygeon.
