About this property
THE COZY CABIN: A cheerful getaway in the scenic Almaguin Highlands.
Slow down time and rejuvenate your life at Deer Lake Wilderness Retreat. With just four sites spread out across 10 acres, each one has its own private outdoor space making it a perfect place to disconnect from the daily grind and reconnect with each other.
GETTING BACK TO THE BASICS
When you arrive at the Cozy Cabin, the first thing you’ll notice is the woodland views surrounding you on all sides beckoning you in. Soak up the ambiance of the living room, play a round of cards by firelight, make a tasty meal in the quaint kitchenette, then escape to the loft where you’ll find a luxurious queen sized bed and a reading corner with a comfy bean bag chair.
ENJOY NATURE’S EMBRACE
Discover the rejuvenation that comes from forest bathing—immersing yourself in the sounds and smells of nature. Explore our forest or the many other hiking trails in the Almaguin Highlands, and from May to October your stay comes with a FREE PROVINCIAL PARK PASS to nearby Mikisew which has clean quiet beaches, great hiking trails, and a frisbee golf course. End your day mesmerized by "nature’s TV" as the flames from your campfire dance under the starry night sky.
AN OUTDOOR PLAYLAND
Nestled in the hills and lakes of cottage country, the Almaguin Highlands is a four season outdoor playland. In the warmer weather enjoy water sports, hiking, biking, horseback riding, ATVing, or take a road trip to visit our quaint villages and artisan galleries. Winter brings snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling at our doorstep and dog sledding just 30 minutes away.
MAGIC AND MAIN STREET
We are a 20-minute drive from South River where you’ll find the Crystal Caves, the biggest mineral exhibit in Canada and the most magical crystal shop you will ever set foot inside guaranteed. Then head 10 minutes down the road to Sundridge where you’ll find a quaint main street featuring a cozy cafe, shops and restaurants.
GLAMOROUS CAMPING AT ITS FINEST
The Cozy Cabin is partially off-grid—it has electricity but no running water—and every effort is made to make it a comfortable experience for you. The kitchenette comes fully stocked for cooking including water, an air-fryer/toaster-oven, convection burner, fridge and BBQ. The brand new indoor loo features a camping toilet and there is a comfortable outhouse down the lane. There is a shared hot water shower and we have excellent cell phone reception.
PERFECT FOR MORE THAN ONE COUPLE OR FAMILIES
The Cozy Cabin is the ideal getaway for a couple, but can also sleep four when you use the pull out sofa bed in the living room.
PETS WELCOME
Share your glamping adventure with your fur baby for a $50 pet fee. In summer take your pooch to Mikisew Provincial Park, there you’ll find a dog beach where they can romp around and cool off.
$99 SUNDAYS
If you book the Cozy Cabin on a Friday and Saturday night, ask me how to add Sunday night for just $99.

About the host
Hosted by Sara Moore

With the purchase of Deer Lake Lodge in June 2021 I entered an exciting new chapter when I became a glampground proprietor (a.k.a. professional putterer).
I've rebranded it as Deer Lake Wilderness Retreat, and my vision is to create a community where my guests can relax in nature, reflect on life, and restore themselves. Phase A is complete with the establishment of a three site glampground, and phase B will be to introduce workshops with a focus on wellness.
Happy Glamping,
Sara
