About the host
Hosted by Cabinscape
CABINSCAPE is a Canadian-owned company offering custom-designed, low-impact tiny cabin rentals for intimate wilderness escapes. Now in our 9th year, we operate over 30 thoughtfully placed properties across Ontario.
What makes this property unique
This Cabinscape is located on Kirkfield Lake, a body of water sustained by 3 underground fresh water springs. This gorgeous lake is clean and crystal clear with a blueness seldom seen anywhere in Ontario.
This geologically unique property (the site of a former limestone quarry) offers ample opportunities to connect with nature. Snowshoe, hike or run the trails on-site that meander through forests and wildflower meadows. Swim, paddleboard, snorkel or get out and cycle the roads and rail trails in the area.
Our property is adjacent to the Trent Severn Waterway system which connects to several larger lakes in the Kawartha Lakes region, making it an excellent basecamp for day-long expeditions on the water.
