Learn more about this land: Rustic bunkie located on 2 acres, is nestled among the trees beside a small, crystal clear lake. With 700 ft of untouched shoreline, privacy is second to none. From this lake, you can access 3 other lakes by provided canoe/kayak without portage. The site is 35 min. from Algonquin Park and 11 km from MKC, the world-famous white water paddling centre. 10x10 main floor with sleeping loft. Solar power provides lighting & a propane furnace for cool nights. Solar lights outside provide ambient lighting-may be turned off if preferred. The call of the loons & the barred owl will be your lullaby as you drift off to sleep after a day of hiking, paddling, or swimming. There is no running water, you will have to bring your own drinking water. You will need to bring everything you require for cooking, eating and washing dishes. There is no sink, stove, or BBQ on site. As the site is off-grid, there are no appliances. There is a split log bench beside the self-contained fire pit. Please bring your own firewood, matches/lighter, and/or firestarter materials. Small fires only please, as this is a well-treed location. Fires must be extinguished prior to going to bed — there is a bucket by the firepit. If you are wondering if something is there, I suggest you reach out to check with me before arrival. There is a new private outhouse on site. The outhouse is past the bunkie along the path. Solar lights work with the flick of a switch — one switch by the door, one by the bed. You have access to 2 kayaks and 1 canoe, 2 adult lifejackets. These are located on the waterfront between the bunkie and the house @260 Matcheski Road. Please return these as you found them after each use. They are shared with the guests at the house. It is a natural shoreline at the bunkie, with a sandy bottom — pretty good swimming, actually! Absolutely no harsh chemicals/detergents in the water! Please leave the site tidy and as you found it. Take your garbage and recycling. This is a small lakeside community — no loud music, please. Respect the solitude!

Please ensure I know if you are bringing your furry family, as I am hosting a reactive rescue dog this summer - and need to ensure we don't have any accidental meetings. PLEASE NOTE: The bunkie is for 3 guests only. One double bed, one single futon. However, there is room to pitch a tent outside of the bunkie (please select additional guests if you are planning on using both accommodations).

Nice spot to camp. Lots of trees for privacy and right on the water. Property and bunkie were very clean and well maintained. Jessica was a friendly host and quick to respond to emails. Great place to spend a weekend!

I wanted to spend some time in nature on my birthday and decided to stay in the cabin, and I had the best time ever! She was very understanding and welcoming. Even though I didn’t stay there for a long time, but the cabin itself and the nature around it brought so much peace and calmness. The location is also great! Everything is within a 5-10 min drive. I would recommand this cabin who wants to gateway from work and spend time reflecting while surrounded by nature.

Really nice quiet spot close enough to town for supplies ...and ice cream 😉 but felt very private, right on the water. Great swimming, kayaking and chilling. Directions very clear. Lovely little spot!
