If you are seeking restitution away from the pressures of everyday living, enjoy glamping without the fuss. Our lakefront yurt & cabin is sure to re-connect you back to nature and explore the ultimate Algonquin experience.

This “wonderfully, amazing, peaceful & secluded natural oasis” is in the heart of one of Ontario's top tourist areas, just minutes away from internationally renowned Algonquin Provincial Park & Arrowhead Provincial Park & precisely 12 minutes from Muskoka's cultured town of Huntsville. We provide a complimentary day pass to both local provincial parks :)

Pets with up-to-date vet shots are welcome at no extra charge :)

The thought of sitting around a campfire under a clear sky, gazing up at the stars and listening to the sounds of the night can pacify your minds and rejuvenate your soul!

During late Spring, Summer and Fall the adjacent cabin compliments the yurt in giving you an additional screened-in porch overlooking the dock. They are both located within meters of each other and you will be assured full privacy on the 11 acres of private property.

Each booking comes complete with a full supply of wood for both the firepit and the woodstove.

Check out this website pictures of our unique outdoor washroom which our guests fondly call Muskoka's finest privy It even features art work! OUR LATEST UPGRADE: Seasonally, Spring into Fall, we provide a propane heated outdoor shower!

Our guests are impressed with the vast 85 acre spring fed lake and waterfall just a few meters from the yurt. The lake is virtually undeveloped surrounded with crown land and private ownership with only one other small cottage on the entire lake.

When you arrive to this 100% Canadian made yurt /cabin will be clean & setup with basic pots and pans to cook on either the propane bbq c/w side burner or wood stove.

For a perfect night's sleep, we provide a cozy deluxe queen size bed. Guests would only need to bring their own personal queen size sheet set (or sleeping bag), pillows, blankets, and towels.

This off grid package also includes: unique outdoor privy, open fire pit, private dock, waterfall, stream, Muskoka chairs, ample selection of games & reading material (for quieter moments), and a solar power pack to operate small appliances such as your cells..

Seasonally, we supply a complimentary canoe from Spring into early Fall and 2 pairs of high-tech snowshoes during the snow months. NEW: We've now added two kayaks to explore Benson Lake - guests would need to bring their own lifejackets.

You can safely dive off the T shaped dock (c/w canoe). Its 40 ft in length with a recently added 8 ft x16 ft. pontoon deck section. The dock is conveniently located only 300 ft away from the Yurt and only 40 ft. from the cabin.

During the cooler seasons, you will be kept snuggly warm even during the coldest of wintery nights inside Yurt's wool lined interior and our new high-functioning wood stove. Its large 17' diameter and 4' skylight makes it the perfect size for a couples getaway!

Yurts have developed into great popularity over the past decade, where campers/cottagers can experience a high end upgrade to traditional camping without the work, lately referenced as “glamping”. The sounds of nature is purely therapeutic : )

Muskoka is just a 2 1/4 hour drive north of Toronto. We are located just minutes from historical Huntsville and 30 minutes from the gateway to Algonquin Park, right in the heart of Muskoka District with its vast 2500 square miles of stunning pine and maple forests, 1600 lakes, waterfalls, cliffs and breathtaking scenery!

Here are just a few of our many 5 star REVIEWS!

GREAT time of the grid! We came here for peace, relaxation, and the great outdoors. This property met those requirements and more. The yurt was well-equipped, cozy (thanks to the woodstove) and secluded enough that you felt away from everything, yet because it was only a short hike and 10 minute drive into town it was still convenient for us to get around and explore Huntsville. Thank you to our wonderful hosts Doug and Orla, we will definitely be back and recommend it to others! All the best, Lauren

We had a wonderful time. The winter experience was truly a memorable one. It's definitely something that we can cross off our list now. We took advantage of the Arrowhead pass and explored the park. We particularly enjoyed skating through the forest. Meeting Doug and Orla was a complete pleasure as well. They were so sweet and welcoming, it made the experience more special.
We were pleased with the two nights and the urge of accomplishing something new was satisfied. Doug was generous enough to extend the third night to the next time we visit at which we were pleasantly surprised by. On our way home Emily and I discussed coming back. Hopefully in October to take advantage of the leaves changing.Thank you for everything and look forward to booking more adventures with you, Carla

Hi Doug and Orla: Stephanie and I had an absolutely amazing time at the yurt. We could not have imagined a better location and trip over all. As far as feedback I can honestly say I would not change a single thing. From the very first contact to the moment we drove away was perfect. Meeting Doug to show us the place was very nice and of course the property speaks for itself. We have many pictures and memories that will last a lifetime. Over the next few weeks we are going to plan a time to visit again, this time in the warmer days of summer and hope to make this a yearly trip. Thanks again for everything. All the best, Randy and Stephanie

    Wow!!!! This property is simply amazing and doug orla are very welcoming and friendly. This off the grid yurt is beautiful and with the waterfall right beside it makes it that much more peaceful and relaxing! The lake is very quiet with only a couple other properties on it! We were very lucky to have an overnight snow fall making this property even more wonderful in the morning when we woke up! We will definitely be back hopefully in the fall! Thank you doug and orla for sharing your beautiful oasis with us:)

    The perfect place to make the most of a wet and cold long weekend! Excellent location for exploring the surrounding towns while also getting away from everything at a very private retreat. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others!

    The property was wonderful. Being the only people on a small lake is not something you normally get. The yurt was very comfortable. Seeing the stars at night through the skylight was cool. The kitchen cabin was the best while it was raining. Thanks for a great stay.

    From start to finish, Doug and Orla were wonderful, intro to the yurt was quick and painless. Our entire stay was so peaceful, we were only there for two nights but we were so relaxed it felt like a week. Calm waters, no others around, our dogs couldn't be more happy and they slept the entire Sunday afternoon bc they were so tired. Going back in a few months to do more and we want to go in the winter for the snowshoeing. Thank you for a great trip

    My dog and I had a great time at the Yurt. It's very isolated, quiet, and peaceful. Easy access to nearby hiking areas. Doug and Orla were so friendly. A beautiful place and we hope to come back some time!
