Wren Lake Cottage in Algonquin Highlands

Welcome to Wren Lake Cottage, our beautiful south facing (sun all day!!) 4 season cottage, 2.5 hours from Toronto, just south of Dorset on Wren Lake in Algonquin Highlands. Get away from the city & enjoy this very private, relaxing oasis. Go for a swim or relax on the dock. Our cottage is sure to meet all your getaway needs and is ideal for families, with children, or a small gathering of friends.

Enjoy our beautiful waterfront view all year round! We have 3 bedrooms in the cottage and a bunkie (queen size Murphy Bed). In the living room, you'll also find two pull out couches to accommodate 4 extra sleepers. Overall, you can comfortably sleep 8 people.

Family Getaway
We enjoyed a lovely getaway on Wren Lake. The cottage was very clean and well appointed with everything we needed. We spent a lot of time outside between lounging on the dock, roasting marshmallows and making great use of the kayaks, canoe and SUPs to explore the lake. The kids (and puppy) also loved playing on the lily pad! Communication with Michelle was quick and easy. 5 stars all around!

Very nice cottage
Great location on a quiet lake but close to Lake of Bays so we could rent a speed boat. Loved that we could bring our dogs. Comfortable beds.
