Hit Pause. Unplug. Settle into a rhythm paddling, hear the fire crackle or the wind howl, notice the fifty shades of green, inhale the view. Nature's own surround sound and retinal display require no re-defining. In the clutter of busy, nurture the craving to connect. Share laughter around a fire, share the ritual of morning dip, cast a line and share the anticipation. It's always been about this natural connection.... to the place, to the people, to the rhythms of Algonquin Park.
Algonquin Park is our playground and there is so much to do! Our adventures are about getting outside, being active and experiencing the unparalleled wow factor of Algonquin Park. The Outdoors is in our DNA. We make sure you are set up and comfortable for backcountry skiing, canoeing, torchlit skating or stew and brewing! We operate year-round so there are lots of adventure options and trips, including cabin-based adventures, to satisfy a range of activity levels.
Our off-the-grid accommodations allow for an experience that blurs the line between sense of place, space and adventure. Our Algonquin Log Cabin oozes rustic charm honouring the surrounding beauty of its wilderness home. Our Algonquin Island Retreat centers you in exquisite solitude tracking 360 lake views, the rising and setting of the sun, light and shadow - echoing the inspiration of Tom Thomson's art. Our floating sauna and special event floathouse connect you to the splash of the water, the call of the loon and the dancing night sky. Our Cabins breathe adventure and offer a range of options for you to experience.
It's always an honour for us to host a special event, be it a family reunion, wedding, or team building adventure. Let us help you bring to life your vision with our flexibility and excellence in programming.
Off-the-grid hospitality allows us to highlight our connection to Algonquin Park while showcasing our commitment to hitting all the notes of an exceptional level of service. Hand-picked oyster mushrooms sauteed over the Rumford fire, a lake-side wine and cheese, and a splash of the good stuff with an evening coffee - all heighten the senses. Such touches come naturally to our guides who seamlessly blend the best practices of naturalists, chefs, and consummate hosts.

“This trip totally exceeded my expectations! I travelled by myself and was joined by 8 other travellers and our guide Hannah, who was excellent by the way… knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and hard working.
Other than myself, I believe only 1 other person was familiar with camping and paddling a canoe, yet everyone managed just fine with the amount of paddling, portaging etc. I’m still shocked at the quality of food that we were able to have on an interior camping trip – well done VQ. After 2 nights of camping the lodge was a welcoming sight. Very spacious, well equipped and stunning. The beds were comfortable, the sauna was great, the sun deck was nice, the screened in porch was inviting, and the food was out of this world. All the staff at the lodge were amazing as well and contributed to a great experience. I would totally recommend this place to anyone” Mark
Absolutely one of the best winter experiences me and my husband have been on! A rustic charming log cabin in the middle of nowhere, with the chance to detach from the world as we know it and step back in time a little. It has a huge fireplace which makes the place cosy and warm, charming decor, a great living and dining area, beautiful location, and a group of people who will make it a memorable stay. There is a wood-fired sauna to relax at the end of a long day.
Our guides Mauricio and Laramie, and cook Sage, absolutely made it feel like a family. They were so friendly, knowledgable and super encouraging on some of the challenges the activities may present! The food was exceptional, all fresh, home-made and filling, we were never hungry, and there was always a freshly baked snack and hot chocolate or tea/coffee on hand to warm up! Everything was well organised from the pickup in Toronto, to the activities, to the bus back! First day was snow-shoeing, a beautiful 2hrs getting to know the area, and the downhil stretch was the most fun I’ve had in the snow since I was a kid!! The 2nd day was cross country skiing – having never skied before we were nervous but Mauricio taught us well and kept the moral up, even when it got hard! But it was such an acheivement and we loved every minute. The afternoon you have the option to do more of either activity and we took a short hike across the lake to an IGLOO/Ice hut – so cool! A few of the kids went down the luge! The evenings were always so wonderful, there were games, campfire stories, broomball if you fancy/its not too cold! The final day was the dog-sledding provided by an external company, however, it was super awesome! Mushing is hard work but super fun! All in all I couldn’t recommend this enough and we will be back, perhaps with friends or for the canoeing trip/summer stay! Whether you’re Canadian looking to see the best your country can offer, and experience something different, or if you’re a tourist wanting to experience a true Canadian winter weekend – it’s an absolute must! Thank you all, and thank you John, for creating a dream adventure for all to experience! Christina
My family has always lived in the city, and although we are Canadians, we have never experienced the great outdoors for which our country is so famous. A family canoe
The power of the canoe “What sets a canoeing expedition apart is that it purifies you more rapidly and inescapably than any other travel. Travel a thousand miles by train
March is winding up and winter has flown by. Too fast for those of who love the snow ! Our fantastic winter team helped make this one of our best

The East wind is howling today with whitecaps on Kawawaymog Lake and waves crashing on the dock . The surrounding hills are filled with colour , especially the red maples
Algonquin Park is at its best for the July long weekend. Hot days are great for swimming, lot’s of chances to photograph moose chewing on water lilies, and magical evenings
