Featured as Best Getaway #1 in Northern Ontario Travel’s guide to the best snowshoeing in Ontario.
Our Algonquin snowshoe chalet is a 2-bedroom suite with a kitchen and wood-burning fireplace, with the Forgotten Trail right outside the door.
Up here, winter is the real thing. Deep snow, frozen lakes, and woods so quiet you hear your own breath.
Step off the porch and the snow is already telling stories: a fox along the shoreline, a snowshoe hare's long jumps, maybe the long straight line of a wolf across the lake. Down south, snowshoeing is a walk. Up here, it's a story you get to read.
And it's an easy drive. Four-lane highway nearly the whole way, about the same time as heading to other locations further south. You just end up somewhere quieter.
No lockbox. No laminated instructions taped to the fridge.
Arrive and a seasoned guide is there to meet you. Step inside to a fire already going. Learn how to make the most of your 2 or 3 nights, trace a route on the trail map, and get your first look at the floating sauna. On day two, expect a knock at the door: a quick check-in, and a tip on where the snow is best.
The rest is yours. Snowshoe from the door. Sauna at dusk. Dinner when you're hungry. Two bedrooms, a fireplace and a full kitchen, at the edge of Algonquin Park.
What's waiting for you: a private 2-bedroom suite (sleeps 4, 5 with the trundle) · fireplace · full kitchen · 2 sets of snowshoes · floating sauna, steps from shore · trail maps and local tips from our team.

“There could be no greater reminder of the beauty of Canada than to experience it during winter at Algonquin Park. What a fabulous 3 days our family of four had snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and skating under the stars while staying in a beautiful cabin right near the entrance to Algonquin Park.”

“We stayed in the Magnetawan suite. The accommodations were great – very spacious. Very clean and functional. All of the necessary kitchen amenities were available. The wood burning stove did a great job. Highly recommended. We will be back next year”
