About this property

The Cozy Cabin: Shabby Chic & Totally Tranquil

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.

GETTING BACK TO THE BASICS
The Cozy Cabin is a cheerful getaway in the heart of the scenic Almaguin Highlands. With just two 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.

A LAKELAND 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. 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.

ONLY IN ALMAGUIN
For those who want something less sporty to do visit the Crystal Caves, Canada's largest private mineral exhibit & the most magical crystal shop you'll ever step foot into guaranteed. Another unique day trip in the Almaguin Highlands is to the Screaming Heads where artist Peter Camani has created an immense, surreal artscape of huge cast-concrete sculptures throughout his 310-acre property. For those animal lovers check out The Antler Farm where you can visit their deer and have your photo taken with them. 

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. The Screaming Heads is just 30 minutes away.

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 incinerating toilet in the Cabin! There is a comfortable outhouse and a shared hot water shower down the lane. This is an excellent opportunity to disconnect from technology, and although we do not have wifi, we do have excellent cell phone reception. PLEASE NOTE that in the April and early May you cannot park right at the cabin, it is a two minute walk from the guest parking lot, a cart for your stuff is provided.

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. PLEASE NOTE: The staircase to the loft is steep so if you have a large dog that likes to sleep with you, you can sleep on the sofa bed or consider booking the Geodome.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Spence

Host profile image
In July 2026, we had the opportunity to become the new owners of Deer Lake Wilderness Retreat, and we couldn’t be more excited about this next chapter.

Our vision is to create a special place where guests can slow down, reconnect with nature, reflect, and recharge. We want Deer Lake to be a place where you can step away from the busyness of everyday life, breathe a little deeper, and enjoy the simple things that make time in nature so special.

As new owners, we have lots of ideas for how we’d love to grow and continue developing this beautiful property while preserving the peaceful, natural experience that makes it unique.

We’re excited to welcome you and hope Deer Lake becomes a place you’ll want to return to again and again.

Happy Glamping,
Lisa & Jeff
