Private Secluded Cabin, Private Dock, Beach and Water Access, Stunning Lake View
Welcome to our cozy cottage rental at Sakinaw Lake, where glamping meets pure luxury in an unforgettable retreat. This secluded haven is designed to immerse you in nature without compromising on modern comforts, ensuring every moment of your stay feels both indulgent and rejuvenating.
Imagine arriving on a sunny Saturday afternoon and experiencing a seamless check‑in process: our secure keypad lock allows you to access your private getaway, so you can begin your adventure stress‑free. Your week‑long escape unfolds as you settle into a fully appointed space, where every detail—from the carefully chosen furnishings to the inviting decor—is tailored for comfort and convenience.
Our outdoor luxury glamping kitchen is a chef’s dream. Featuring granite countertops, a full‑size refrigerator, a double sink, bbq, and a dishwasher, this space makes cooking a joy whether you’re preparing a quick snack or a gourmet meal. Enjoy the experience of preparing meals amid nature, and then dine al fresco in one of our multiple outdoor sitting areas. Gather around the gas firepit on cool evenings as the starry sky unfolds overhead, or retreat into our screened gazebo for intimate family game nights or lively conversation.
For your daily routine, we’ve got you covered: a fully running washroom is located just five steps away, complete with an outdoor shower that offers an awe‑inspiring view of the lake and surrounding forest—a refreshing way to start or end your day. We supply all linens and bathroom towels, ensuring you have one less thing to worry about while you focus on enjoying your stay.
Stay connected with reliable, high‑speed fiber‑optic Wi‑Fi available throughout the cottage area, so you can easily share your moments of bliss or catch up on work if needed. Yet, despite this modern amenity, our property remains a true retreat from the hustle and bustle. Set on your own private sprawling 3‑acre plot of pristine forest, the property offers complete seclusion. Here, the only sounds that accompany you are the natural calls of owls in the night, woodpecker searching for dinner, and the gentle haunting echoes of loons over the water—an invitation to truly disconnect and unwind.
A short four‑minute stroll down the driveway reveals an idyllic sandy beach and your very own private dock. Whether you’re looking to bask in the warm sun, take a refreshing dip in the crystal‑clear waters of Sakinaw Lake, or simply relax on the dock while reading a book, this direct access to the water is a highlight of your stay. For those with a taste for water sports or leisurely aquatic adventures, guests are welcome to bring paddle boards, inflatable floaties, kayaks, or even a speedboat. Our community has its own private boat launch, making it easy for you to explore the lake at your own pace. With convenient dirt road access to explore the broader Sunshine Coast region, your adventure possibilities are endless—from scenic drives to local culinary delights and hidden natural treasures.
Our cottage comfortably accommodates up to 4 adults—or a combination of 2 adults and 3 children—making it an ideal setting for a family vacation, a romantic getaway, or a small group retreat. Please note that while we love our furry friends, we do not allow animals.
Every aspect of your stay has been thoughtfully designed to create a harmonious balance between luxury and nature. From the moment you step into our private, elegantly appointed cottage to the final moments as you depart the following Saturday at 11 AM, you’ll experience a level of hospitality that transforms a simple getaway into an extraordinary escape.
Whether you’re here to explore the local surroundings, engage in outdoor activities like kayaking and fishing from your private dock, or simply to soak up the tranquility of an untouched forest setting, our warm hospitality and meticulous attention to detail promise a memorable experience. Our rental isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a destination designed to inspire relaxation, adventure, and a deep connection with nature.
Book your seven‑night stay now and allow us to help turn your glamping dreams into a reality at Sakinaw Lake.

About the host
Hosted by Kristie Ragan
We’ve been fortunate to call this beautiful lake our family getaway for the past 45 years—and for the last 18 years, it’s been Mom and Dad’s full-time home. Just up the hill from their house, on a completely separate and private piece of land, sits our guest cabin—now available for others to enjoy. Nestled above the crystal-clear lake—naturally warmed by hot springs—this one-of-a-kind retreat offers breathtaking views and easy access to the water’s edge and private dock.
This isn’t your average cabin rental. Our cozy, thoughtfully designed space is more of a glamping experience—small in size, but rich in atmosphere and comfort. The outdoor living space is expansive, featuring multiple sitting areas, peaceful gazebos, a hammock for lazy afternoons, and a fire pit perfect for stargazing and s’mores. One of the true highlights is our fully equipped outdoor covered kitchen, complete with granite countertops, a double sink, dishwasher, cooktop, microwave, and barbeque—everything you need to cook and dine alfresco in style.
Guests enjoy exclusive access to 3 private acres, making it feel like your own personal retreat. The land is alive with wildlife—deer, owls, frogs, squirrels—and the occasional water plane gliding across the lake adds a magical touch. Inside, you’ll find an electric fireplace for cozy evenings and reliable Wi-Fi for when you want to stay connected.
Over the past four years, we’ve welcomed amazing guests who have left heartwarming reviews and lasting memories. While recent government changes have shifted how we rent, our passion for sharing this special place remains unchanged. We’re thrilled to now offer our lakeside retreat on Vrbo and look forward to hosting travelers who appreciate nature, tranquility, and a one-of-a-kind escape.

Why they chose this property
Our cabin sits above a crystal-clear, hot spring-fed lake, tucked into its own peaceful corner of the world. Surrounded by forest, with sweeping views of the water and sky, it’s a place where time slows down. In the mornings, you might wake to the sound of loons calling while you sip coffee on the deck. Evenings bring brilliant sunsets, stargazing on the lounges with cozy fireside chats. Guests often tell us they find it magical, restorative, and even healing.
The neighborhood is quiet and lightly developed, made up of a few long-time lake families who deeply respect the land and water. It’s peaceful and private, yet close enough to local shops, markets, and nature trails if you feel like exploring. Most of the time, though, guests stay put—swimming, kayaking, reading in the hammock, or watching deer, bumblebee’s and frogs pass by.
One of our favorite things? The stillness. Whether it’s watching water planes land on the lake or hearing nothing but birds and wind in the trees, this place brings a deep sense of calm. It’s where families reconnect, couples unwind, and solo traveler’s find space to breathe.

What makes this property unique
What makes our place truly special is the experience it offers. This isn’t just a cabin rental—it’s a private, 3-acre retreat. The space blends comfort, nature, and thoughtful design to create a glamping-style escape that guests often describe as “magical,” “healing,” and “perfect.”
Our cozy cabin sits on a completely separate piece of land above the lake, offering total privacy and sweeping views. Outside, you’ll find expansive decking, a propane fire pit, a hammock, screened gazebos, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with granite countertops, a double sink, cooktop, microwave, BBQ, and even a dishwasher. It’s a place made to live outdoors in comfort and style.
Inside, the cabin is compact but inviting, with Wi-Fi, an electric fireplace, and everything you need to unwind after a day on the lake. Guests love the details—from mosquito netting in the gazebos to the layout that makes morning coffee or sunset wine unforgettable.
This place has been in our family for 45 years—and that care shows. Whether you’re swimming off the private dock, watching stars from the deck, or just listening to loons echo across the water, it’s a stay that leaves a mark. Many of our guests return year after year—and we love welcoming them back.
