Cosy cabin glamping in cottage country, beautiful private lake and trails.

Enjoy off-grid "glamping" in our cosy, secure cabins complete with all the scenic delights the famous Muskoka region of Ontario has to offer. (To see our other cabin search Vrbo ID 9857275)
We are nestled in the beautiful, hilly Almaguin Highlands - full of picturesque small lakes and rivers.
Glamp in a cosy cabin surrounded by forest with stunning hiking trails, explore beautiful natural assets of the property including a very unique private lake. A real Ontario wilderness experience!

Park on our main drive, about 50 metres from your private site. Settle into your clean and efficient hand-built cabin in the woods, enjoy lush forest views, while comfortably protected from the elements. In your private clearing, enjoy cooking on the barbeque under a spacious covered kitchen porch. Your site features a campfire pit, an outhouse with a modern composting toilet (both comfortable and discreet), and an outdoor shower.

We provide a portable power station which can charge your electronic devices and power items like a kettle and lighting.

Our Land hides a very unique, private lake surrounded by coniferous/deciduous mixed forest, access is a five-minute walk from your cabin along a beautiful trail with sneak peaks of the lake through the trees. Enjoy swimming, paddling, and lounging on sun-drenched decks and dock. Our hilly walking or biking trails lead to the Seguin Park-To-Park Recreational Trail (a former rail line into Algonquin Park), this trail runs along the far side of our lake and provides 75 k of stunning, safe adventuring.

Our property is just West of Algonquin Provincial Park, just North of Arrowhead Provincial Park, a convenient 20 minute drive from the bustling town of Huntsville, as well as 10-20 minutes from several lovely towns with grocery and gas, beaches, and various attractions:

Great Spot
Had some time to get away and I couldn't be happier with my choice. Everything was exactly as described. Nice seclusion. The host was friendly and offered his services at a moments notice. The private lake is gorgeous. Don't forget to bring your fishing gear! Would recommend and hopefully will return in the future.

Beautiful setting, lovely host
The cabins were clean & equipped. the lake was private & breathtaking, a perfect spot for yoga by the water with some level wood platforms right on the shore. The host thoughtfully offered to charge the power stations after a couple days to ensure we had enough power to get us through.

One relaxing long weekend..
Read the listing, follow the suggestions and it is a great place to stay… peaceful, secluded, you essentially have the lake to yourself. Cabin is greatly equipped. We brought too much. Great shower and toilet. Night temp was +30C we brought a little usb fan - we were cold. Hosts seem like wonderful people, shared dock was really nice. Second cabin neighbours, nice people. Lake was warm, gorgeous breeze… quiet. Bring hammocks, thank me later. Yes, there are a couple of ATVs, not a bother. Bring a couple of thermacells and nothing will bug you. Really nice stay, great set up, great cabin by people who seem to care. Thank you…

Weekend Getaway
Overall we had a great stay! The area is beautiful and the cabin in surrounded by trees. The site is fairly big and it was very clean. The lake access is shared with the other cabin, but there are two docks set up so it would be easy to share the space. It was so quiet and peaceful, I definitely recommend staying here! Some important things to note: you have to carry your stuff from the car through a trail in the woods to get to the cabin. We didn't realize this and we arrived after dark which made it difficult, but we managed. Also due to being in a forest, the mosquitoes were the worst I've ever experienced. Bug spray alone did not help us. So I definitely recommend bringing additional bug repellent products if you stay here.

Cute and Convenient Glamping
Beautiful spot with all the amenities set up and most necessities provided. The lake was very nice for a swimming, kayaking and fishing. The compostable toilet is SOO convenient compared to typical camping. Kiyo was also generous to allow a few extra family members for a small cost. One thing to note is the insane mosquito population, they are starved and are not picky, so make sure to bring GOOD quality repellent. Also note that it's not completley private, there is another cabin close by and the owners residence is a close distance. So if you're looking to completely avoid human existance not the spot, but otherwise a wonderful and beautiful getaway.

Cozy Cabin!
Had such a nice stay! The cabin was clean, area was beautiful and provided a ton of things to do and a lot of room. Outside area with the fire pit and bbq were such a nice touch. The cabin itself was beautifully made and the perfect size for 2 people. The walk to the lake was easy and extremely peaceful once you’re there. If you forget anything, the store is a 10 minute drive away. There’s another cabin close by but it feels very secluded from each other and gives you nice privacy! If you’re going to stay here in the summer though definitely get some goooood bug spray but don’t let the bugs deter you from staying here, it was lovely!

Gorgeous views, and a cute cabin
Really had a wonderful time staying 2 nites, and visited the lake many times, spent the majority of our time down there. Took the canoe out each day, wonderful quiet and private lake, and never saw anyone else on it. ATV trails close by, but did not disrupt or trip. The cabin had a lot of really sweet touches, making it a step up (and more comfortable) that basic camping. Would love to visit again in another season!!
