About this property

Private Wilderness Retreat | Hot Tub | Firepit | South Algonquin/sleeps 10

  • Where Family Memories Begin...

    There are places you visit... and there are places that become part of your family's story.

    Welcome to your private South Algonquin retreat, where towering pines, crackling campfires, star-filled skies, and the simple joy of being together create memories that last a lifetime.

    Whether you're planning a family vacation, gathering with lifelong friends, celebrating a special occasion, or simply escaping the pace of everyday life, this one-of-a-kind property was designed to bring people together.

    Spend your days exploring nearby Algonquin Provincial Park, hiking scenic trails, fishing, swimming at beautiful local beaches, or horseback riding through Ontario's breathtaking wilderness. Then return to your own private retreat where the best moments are still waiting.

    Sink into the 7-person hot tub beneath thousands of stars. Gather around the oversized firepit for stories, laughter, and roasted marshmallows. Fire up the projector for an unforgettable outdoor movie night. Grill an incredible meal, challenge the kids to cornhole or washer toss, or simply relax and listen to the sounds of the forest.

    The fully equipped cookhouse is where everyone naturally gathers—sharing meals, celebrating milestones, and lingering around the table long after dinner is over.

    The main cottage features three cozy bedrooms, while the separate bunkie provides additional sleeping space, comfortably accommodating up to 10 guests. Two indoor showers and two private outdoor hot-and-cold showers mean everyone can freshen up with ease after a day of adventure.

    What guests love most isn't just the hot tub, the cookhouse, or the firepit—it's how this place makes them feel. Peaceful. Relaxed. Connected. Many tell us the property is even more beautiful than the photos and leave already planning their next visit.

    If you're searching for another cottage, keep looking.

    If you're searching for a place where children laugh until the stars come out, where conversations last longer than the campfire, and where the people you love reconnect in a way that's hard to find in everyday life...

    Welcome home.

The property was fabulous! The listing does not do it justice. The house is clean, cozy and well-equipped. We made good use of the outdoor cookhouse and firepit. Its a bigvyard and a nice, private property. The extra shower building is handy for large groups. Colleen responded quickly when we had questions. The hot tub needed a repair that the owners are going to take care of, but we were still able to use it. The bunkie is cute too! We would come back!

The property is absolutely gorgeous and well maintained, with so many different places to host dinners and chats both inside and out that you'll never struggle to find the perfect spot!But the hosts were easily the stars of the show! Colleen and her husband were so incredibly accommodating and always responded quickly to the many questions we had for them.With plans for upgrades already it's hard not to imagine their property becoming a hot spot for both couples and groups alike!

We throughly enjoyed our stay... sometimes you get where your going and something that was in the pictures doesn't work, not here! Everything worked from the hot tub to the bbq and everything in between. Lots of yard games for the kids, beautiful garden, oh and my favorite is the outdoor shower under the stars. Definitely not disappointed and we'll be sure to visit again in the future.

1 Week Stay

The hosts were fantastic, offering to meet me and describe the area and amenities, or to leave the keys in a secure lockbox and let me explore on my own. The property is well setup with the main house, a bunkie, a wood shed, a covered BBQ/game area, as well as a large firepit and a garden with seating for conversation. The owners have plans for additional recreational activities in the near future, including badminton nets. The property is well forested, and you can barely tell that you have neighbors.

Magnifique endroit. Très paisible. C’est très propre. Il y à beaucoup de jeux pour se divertir. La cuisine extérieur contient 2 BBQ, 1 fumoir, une cuisinière et réfrigérateur. Nous avons réservé 3 nuits et nous sommes très heureux de cette belle découverte. Il y a de nombreux lacs à proximité. Colleen notre hôte est vraiment très gentille. Elle nous fait des suggestions d’activités à proximité et réponds rapidement à nos demandes.
