About this property

Skipping Stone Lodge at Buffalo Lake - Year Round fun at the Lake!

Come relax and enjoy our bright and spacious year round lakehouse retreat - Skipping Stone Lodge in Buffalo Sands!

Whether it's summer, winter, spring or fall, it's beautiful time to head for the lake.

Need a place for a summer vacation? Spend your days soaking up the sun, building sand castles and splashing in the lake (less than a 5 minute walk from the house). Kids like to play in the sand? Load up the wagon with buckets and shovels and head for the beach! Got a boat? Bring it along - there are boat launches within a short distance at both Rochon Sands and White Sands (no cost at either launch and and there is a place to park your vehicle/trailer while you are on the water at each). After a day of fun, enjoy a BBQ on the large deck while the sun sets.

Looking for something to do during the winter season? Bring your Skates!
Just steps away from the house, the neighborhood pond is maintained with a skating oval and an area for a friendly game of hockey - including nets! Lace up your skates, brew up some hot chocolate, build a fire in the outdoor fire pit and enjoy the winter with some family time outdoors.

Love to fish? Buffalo Lake is a great lake for fishing in the summer and the winter. The most common fish in the lake are Northern Pike and Burbot.

A perfect getaway from from the city with all the comforts of home. Only 1 hour and 45 minutes from Edmonton and 2 hours and 15 minutes from Calgary. Need supplies?Groceries? Looking to eat out or pick up some take out? The cottage is only 20 minutes from Stettler where you can find anything you may need during your stay.

No matter the season, everyone will find something to keep them busy! Board games at the kitchen table, a friendly game of ping pong in the walkout basement, a Disney+ movie with the family or catch up with your favorite sports team on the big screen with Sportsnet.

Swimming, skating, ice fishing, playing in the sand, roasting marshmallows or building a snowman - we have it all!

Our group of 9 had a great stay! There is plenty of room for everyone to have their own space if they wanted. The ping pong table was a hit. Would definitely stay again if we are in the area.

Amazing home for a family vacation!

Great home for a nice relaxing family vacation! The pond/skating rink in the backyard is gorgeous, and being in such proximity to the lake makes it even better. The highlight surely was the table tennis in the basement - lots of fun with the whole family. Dan and Lesli were great hosts! Extremely responsive and flexible to accommodate our requests. We'll be coming back for sure!

Bright, Sunny and Lovely

This is the second year in a row our family has rented this cottage for a long weekend with another family. In total we have 9 people, 5 teens and four adults. There is lots of room for everyone to spread out and do their own things, as well as large enough spaces for us to come together for meals and games. In particular we appreciate that the cottage is stocked with all the necessities...enough dishes for a large group, all the kitchen gadgets we needed, towels for everyone. We also appreciate that there is lots of storage for the food and items we bring along with us. The huge front room is a lovely place to hang out with loads of light and room for everyone, and the open concept means that if you are on dish duty or cooking you can still be part of the action. The owners were helpful and easy to communicate with. We will be booking soon for next year!
