Escape to the Lazy Bear: Unwind at our peaceful 3-bedroom, all-seasons cottage, designed with family and furry friends in mind. With 95' of shoreline and a private dock, your retreat from the city awaits. Enjoy gentle moments as the kids play on the sandy beach and indulge in leisurely swims. Inside, comfort prevails with central AC for hot days and a cozy wood-burning fireplace for cool evenings. Perfect for families seeking a lakeside getaway.

★ Cottage Comforts ★
Newly updated, our all-season 3-bedroom bungalow sleeps 6 in comfort. Modern amenities include central AC, a forced-air furnace, ceiling fans, and a wood-burning fireplace for those cozy evenings. The bathroom is stocked with essentials, and we provide beach towels in summer.

Each bedroom is a peaceful haven with black-out coverings and plush bedding. The family room, with its leather couches and 50" smart TV, is perfect for movie nights, complemented by various board games for screen-free fun.

★ Lakefront Living ★
Spanning 95' of serene shoreline, our retreat boasts a new private dock and sun-soaked Adirondack chairs. The sandy beach area, perfect for building sandcastles, gently leads to the lake with convenient stairs for easy access, creating an ideal lakeside haven for kids and adults. Embark on aquatic adventures with our four-person canoe and two stand-up paddleboards, and as twilight falls, gather for marshmallow roasts at the lakeside fire pit, encapsulating the perfect day by the water.

★ Sunroom Oasis ★
The sunroom, with its panoramic windows and ceiling fan, provides a bug-free oasis to enjoy lake views, whether sipping morning coffee, diving into a book, or enjoying a meal at the dining table.

★ Gourmet Gatherings ★
Our kitchen is fully equipped with a range of spices, an Air Fryer, filtered water, a coffee maker, and all the essentials for our cottage chefs. Enjoy your meals at the 6-seater dining table or gather around the kitchen island for casual dining. Catering to our youngest guests, we provide a highchair and kid-friendly cups, plates, and cutlery.

★ Extras ★
Every detail, from the propane BBQ and in-house laundry to USB bedside lamps and high-speed internet, ensures your comfort at Lazy Bear Lakehouse. Venture onto Pigeon and Chemong Lakes without the hassle of locks. For those wishing to bring a boat, docking at our property is available upon request, with a public launch conveniently located just minutes away in Buckhorn.

★ Seasonal Considerations ★
Nestled off a private road and down a sloping driveway, our cottage offers seclusion with plowing and maintenance in winter. Please note, due to winter conditions, guests will need all-wheel drive and winter tires for safe access.

Our dock comes out in the winter and reemerges for the May long weekend, weather permitting.

The sunroom remains a cozy escape in the winter, with an infrared heater.

Our new favorite place!
The Lazy Bear Lakehouse is such a beautiful and cozy place; the owners Michelle and Ryan have thought of everything! Such excellent hosts! The location really made for a relaxing and memorable stay with family. An ideal and pleasant getaway from the city. A beautiful place to get away, unplug and enjoy nature; cozying up around a nice fire outdoors was a highlight! We our planning another visit (longer next time), and we will be recommending your lovely place to everyone!! Thank you so much for everything and looking forward to another visit. All the best et à bientôt!

Perfect cottage retreat
This cottage was an absolutely perfect getaway for me and my family. We spent a relaxing week, jumping in the lake, enjoying the views and soaking up the sun & fresh air. Michelle's place is even nicer and more well equiped than in the photos. I would definitely stay here again!

We like the cottage a lot and are considering to rent it again in the future. Three recommendations: Put mosquito repellants on deck and fire pit, fix door to deck, and include a couple of kayak.

Family gathering
We enjoyed our time at the Lazy Bear Lakehouse on Buckhorn Lake very much with our adult children and grand dogs. The cottage is lovely, the setting quiet and serene, although we were there during the week only and in June and suspect it might get busier on weekends and during full summer. We enjoyed the paddle boards provided and brought kayaks as well. We weren't able to enjoy a campfire as there was/is a fire ban, for good reason. I was unable to reply to the host on the thread upon arrival as google stated I'd been redirected too many times - weird - but I was able to email separately and communicate by text, hence the 4 stars for communication and check in but that was not a fault of the hosts. Also google maps directed two of our group down the wrong lane so we drove past the neighbour's cottage before we realized it was down the next lane. The geese had taken up residence on the deck and lawn before we arrived and the host offered to get the maintenance crew back to clean it up but we looked after it. It's nature - sh** happens! Our weather was beautiful and we really enjoyed our stay!
