Entire Lakefront Cottage + Boathouse Cozy & Peaceful with Stunning Views

Lakefront Cottage - Discover the Ultimate Summer Retreat

☀️ Summer Highlights
• Lakefront cottage with spectacular sunset views
• Boathouse hangout + breezy summer sleeping space
• Scenic lake great for fishing, swimming, kayaking & paddleboarding
• Kayaks & paddleboards included
• Cozy indoor dining area for laid back meals after a day on the water
• Minutes to historic downtown Port Perry
• Easy day trips to local wineries, breweries & live music

The Bickle Cottage is made for classic summer lake living. Mornings are quiet and calm, perfect for fishing or paddling out on the kayaks and paddleboards. Days move easily between swimming, boating activity on the lake, and relaxing by the water.

One of our favourite features is the boathouse, a fun extra space to hang out, play games, or sleep on breezy summer nights. Inside the cottage, the dining area naturally becomes the gathering spot, whether it’s shared meals, cards, games or planning the next day’s adventure.

You’re close to downtown Port Perry for ice cream runs, shopping, patios and casual dining, with plenty of nearby wineries, breweries, and live music for day trips. It’s comfortable, welcoming, and designed for making the kind of summer memories that keep you talking long after you’ve gone home.

Immerse Yourself in Nature
Our breathtaking lakefront location sets the stage for year-round fun and relaxation. In the winter months, the lake transforms into a playground for ice fishing enthusiasts and snowmobilers, with scenic skidoo trails weaving through the surrounding landscape. Cozy up after a day of exploration with hot cocoa by the campfire or relax indoors with the warmth of a crackling fireplace.

A Haven for Creativity and Connection
Discover your passion or reconnect with old hobbies during a seasonal retreat! Whether you're a quilter, scrapbooker, or simply someone in need of a creative recharge, this is the spot. Relaxing, cozy, perfect for unwinding and nurturing your artistic side.

Looking to host your own retreat?
Our cottage is the ideal venue to bring your vision to life. With its cozy ambiance, serene lakeside setting, and versatile spaces, it's perfect for workshops, wellness retreats, or creative gatherings. We’ll work with you to ensure your retreat is as special as the memories you’ll create.

Explore the Local Charm
Just a short drive away, the heritage town of Port Perry invites you to explore its unique shops, local cuisine, and enjoy cultural experiences like theater performances at the historic Town Hall. For an extra dash of excitement, the Great Blue Heron Casino is conveniently located across the lake for an evening of gaming and entertainment.

Lifelong Memories
Whether you're seeking adventure or solace, our waterfront cottage is designed to envelop you in warmth, happiness, and comfort. From picturesque winter landscapes to evenings of laughter and storytelling by the fire, every moment is an opportunity to create unforgettable memories with loved ones.

Reserve your spot today and experience the magic of Lake Scugog this winter. We look forward to welcoming you!

A perfect weekend, grateful!

The Bickle cottage was lovely in every respect. It was both homey and classy. Our family and friends were perfectly accommodated in the bedrooms, large common areas and waterfront. We really enjoyed our campfires, exploring the lake, generous common areas for discussion, games and music. We would love to make this our annual cottage vacation place!

Awesome cottage

Our stay was was great. The cottage was cozy but with a nice comfortable modern feel. The kitchen was amazing. The views of the lake from the deck were beautiful but even if you wanted to stay inside you could get a great view of the sunset. Bedrooms were all clean with nice beds. Loved how they offered canoes and kyaks aswell. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy a waterfront property

Perfect Winter Weekend

It was my husband’s 50th birthday and I surprised him with a weekend getaway with friends & family. The Bickle sisters were very hospitable and I was able to do an early check in to set up everything before coming back to the cottage with my husband. The location was perfect bc it was 1 hour outside of the gta. The cottage was very clean and love the decor in the home. You can really feel the amount of love that’s put into their cottage. It was great that we were able to have a fire outside in the month of January and during the day walked outside on the frozen lake. I’m sure we will be back again. Cristina & Francois

Fantastic Family Vacay at Bickle Cottage

Our family of 8, plus two dogs, had an absolutely fantastic time, and made some wonderful memories, over our week long stay. This cottage has been thoughtfully and tastefully renovated and provides all of the modern conveniences while still keeping the wonderful character and charm of the original cottage. The kitchen is bright, modern and well appointed. The family/dining room area is open, airy and spacious with a spectacular view of the lake. Beds were super comfy. Greatly appreciated the washer/dryer. Lovely sitting area on the back porch and at the front of the cottage there is plenty of seating and was quite lovely as well. We would highly recommend this cottage and would love to return one day.

Checks all the boxes

Way to many pluses to list. Ill try anyway. Beautiful cottage interior. Very comfortable. Fans in the room (big plus). Great kitchen island. Seating for family meals around diningroom table or sitting out front enjoying the sun. Good yard with space to enjoy a fire. The only thing that woukd be better is a bit more yard space and entry into the water thats a bit easier. It had everything we needed.

Fabulous Family Vacation

The Bickle Cottage was the perfect size for our family vacation including 6 adults & 2 children. The cottage was clean & well equipped - beds were made up and there were soft, clean sheets on the beds and plenty of bath towels. We brought our own beach towels to use outside. Kitchen had most cooking utensils and some basic spices, food wrap/foil, and small appliances we needed to prepare meals. The cottage is hooked up to a septic & has well water so be aware that water conservation is necessary. We bought a couple of large water jugs to go on the water tower dispenser to use for drinking & coffee/tea. We loved that it was right on the lake and we had our own dock to park & tether our small boat to. The lake was shallow but be prepared for a mucky, weedy walk into the water (bring water shoes!). Our 2 grandkids loved fishing off the dock and we're excited to catch little sunfish! Cottage owners, Karen & Laura, were prompt when replying to any questions before and during our one week stay. Overall, we had a wonderful family vacation!
