Sometimes paradise is in our own backyard.

That’s what we discovered when we happened upon the award-winning Beachwood Resort, just 20 minutes north of Peterborough, Ontario, in the heart of the Kawartha Lakes.

It didn’t take long to ease into this friendly resort, which offers something for everyone. Options range from getaways designed for two or more with extraordinary dining experiences at Frederick’s, their on-site lakeside restaurant, featuring four-course dinners paired with wine or beer, to fishing and golf packages for Dad and cooking classes for groups of four or more.

Accommodation choices are equally impressive. Thirty units vary in size from quaint rooms for a romantic twosome in the Main Lodge to large lakeside cottages that sleep 12. In fact, the resort, which is situated on the shores of Lower Buckhorn Lake, can accommodate and feed up to 120 guests, making it a perfect venue for weddings, special anniversaries, sports teams and business meetings.

Between meals, playtime and restful nights, guests are encouraged to walk in the forest, relax by the lake, roast marshmallows, and take a dip in the heated pool. It’s all here at the Beachwood Resort, with plenty of room to roam and explore.
