A collection of one, two and three-bedroom private log cabins and cottages that sit perched on a private peninsula in scenic Algonquin Park, Killarney Lodge is a retreat fit for adventure travellers.
Offering personal canoes, fine country dining and the kind of service that could only come from a family-run establishment, the private knotty pine cabins and woodsy cottages are sprinkled throughout extensive grounds. All at once serenely peaceful and a hub for organic adventures, the land is known to attract everything from chipmunks to black bears. An impressive restaurant serves up tasty home-cooked meals, and a small beach acts as the launch-point for kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding and even wild swimming.
This is a wilderness getaway with a twist: one part return to the basics (think pristine lakes and fragrant pine trees) and one part indulgence (think spotless yet rustic lodgings and expert field guides). And a little tip from us – since the lodge is not licensed, those who like the idea of sipping a Merlot or Pinot while the sun sets and the fog descends should bring their own beverages.
Killarney Lodge is hidden in the thick of Algonquin Park in Ontario, right on the shores of the Lake of Two Rivers and Beaver House Bay.
