Loon Talk Cottage on Clear Lake

Sleeps 10 With Bunkie, Beach, Unlimited WiFi, Satellite TV, Flat Property, Breathtaking View, Clean And Cozy, Fabulous Outdoor Shower, Pet Friendly

Loon Talk Cottage on Clear Lake is a little piece of paradise on the Trent Severn Waterway in the Kawartha Lakes Region. It is very accessible – Toronto (1.5 hour), Peterborough (20 min north) and the town of Lakefield (10 min north). It is well located with a private beach, southern exposure, and on a flat piece of property that is great for children of all ages. It is private and has a large front yard for playing volleyball, badminton, croquet, catch, bocce ball, and more. There is a fire pit near the shoreline with a large cauldron for your use – great for lobster or corn. The expansive 137.5′ of shoreline offers excellent swimming or you can dive off the 36′ dock. Two kayaks, a canoe and 2 stand up paddleboards are also available for your use. Every Wednesday and Sunday, sail boats are sailing and racing out on the lake for your viewing enjoyment.

Clear Lake is excellent for bass, pickerel, perch, muskie and carp fishing. Many large fish have been caught right off the dock.

Couldn't Have Been Happier

Hi Ken, We really enjoyed our stay. We chose to stay at Loon Talk Cottage for a family getaway and couldn’t have been happier with the cottage. The waterfront location, great view, fire pit, boat and nearby amenities provided entertainment for the whole family. We especially enjoyed exploring the lake and boating to the lakefront restaurant. I would definitely stay at Loon Talk Cottage again and recommend it to others. - Review by J. Knaus - Source: Kawartha Cottage Vacations

The Best

This was definitely the best cottage we have rented! Easy to get too, very clean and has everything you need. The outdoor shower is amazing! The fire pit is well located by the lake and the beautiful adirondack chairs are very comfortable. Even if it rains it’s a great place to be. The large front windows provide a wonderful view, with a great open feeling. I hope you will enjoy your stay as much as we did. Review by Nancy from Port Hope. - Source: Kawartha Cottage Vacations
