Escape to the Angelfire Cottage Resort, nestled on the shores of Big Bald Lake in Buckhorn. This hidden gem in Trent Lakes invites you to immerse yourself in the beauty of cottage country. Whether you're looking to rent a cozy unit for a personal retreat or the entire resort for a group celebration, Angelfire Cottage Resort offers an unforgettable experience. Featuring six unique cottages, a sandy beach, communal fire pit, and a lakeside gym, the resort caters to families, friends, and adventurers alike. Guests can enjoy exploring the bay with water toys or take a leap off the nearby jumping rock, a local favourite just across the water.

The cottages at Angelfire are as diverse as the guests who visit. Each has its own personality, ranging from the charming one-bedroom log cabin with rustic privacy to the spacious three-bedroom Osprey Cottage, the resort's only four-season, wheelchair-accessible haven. Families seeking the perfect getaway will love High View and Marsh View, a pair of units that offer privacy and versatility, making them ideal for multigenerational vacations. High View boasts a kitchen with stunning views of the resort, while Marsh View features a cozy sunroom overlooking wetlands for moments of quiet reflection.

For those craving a beachfront experience, Lake View Cottage is a favourite. With its private wetlands views and a spacious deck steps from the sand, it’s a dream come true for nature enthusiasts. Bay View Cottage, the most newly renovated, offers a blend of modern comfort and lakeside charm. Its proximity to the water ensures you're never far from the soothing sounds of the lake.

For a touch of nostalgia, The Log Cabin takes center stage. This traditional one-bedroom retreat, tucked away with its own private driveway and fire pit, echoes a simpler time when families and couples embraced the essence of cottage life. With its century-old charm, The Log Cabin invites you to unplug, reconnect, and savor the timeless joy of a classic summer escape.

Angelfire Cottage Resort isn’t just a destination—it’s a story waiting to be written. From sunrise swims to starlit bonfires, every moment at this lakeside haven is an opportunity to create cherished memories. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a gathering with friends, Angelfire promises the perfect backdrop for your next adventure.
