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!

Fantastic rental for a group of ladies! The kitchen is well equipped, the beds are comfy and the layout is perfect for a group of 10. We used the hot tub and fire place, and enjoyed walks down the beach and at the campground. Would definitely come back again!The property is as listed and the hosts are great!

6 ladies spent a rejuvenating week end at Skipping Stone Lodge. The property is as advertised.2 bedrooms in the lower level, 2 on the main floor with a master suite and bath upstairs. The beds were comfortable, the linens were lovely. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, glassware, pots and pans, cutlery and utensils. Plenty of bowls and extras like plastic wrap, foil and bags. Unfortunately the weather was not great so we did not venture outside to check out the hot tub and firepit. We would certainly stay here again!

It was a wonderful place for our family to gather for Thanksgiving. The space was perfect for the 10 of us, lots of room for everyone. The house is very well stocked with everything we needed, and the hot tub and ping pong table were a bonus when the weather turned nasty. We also enjoyed all the mowed trails available for walking and biking, a very nice area.
