We’re Lily, Wesley and Danielle, your hosts at Cabin Glory. We're a family of joyful and curious nature lovers. We started this journey with Cabin Glory on a whim, driven by a deep desire to spend more time experiencing the wild around us. Lily was seeking out a new project, and Danielle was embarking on her handy-woman career. Luckily, Wes and his dad are quite handy already and were ready to tackle the enormous dream of renovating our cabin. We're proud to share this space with you, that we have created with love, sweat, and so, so many mosquito bites. As you rest or adventure here, our wish is that you can connect with yourself, the company you keep, and the earth around you. There's nothing quite like hearing the symphony of rustling leaves as the wind passes by, being carried by the gentle movement of the river, or simply in awe of the magnificent horizon. Welcome to Cabin Glory. We’re so glad you're here! Learn more about this land: Cabin Glory is a place intended for connection. Slow down, take a breath, and find what it is that you’ve been missing.

Natural Joy! Cosy Canoe Cottage

14km from Bancroft · 1 site
The cottage is at the edge of a large wilderness area. We supply an ultra-safe large canoe with paddles and lifejackets. It's an easy and fun 15 minute paddle to reach the cottage. The cottage is an artistic gem on a safe and quiet lake with beavers and loons and numerous bird species -- owls, herons, hawks, ospreys, and many migratory songbirds. In over 20 years of experience on the lake, we've seen no bears. It's a cosy three-room place with a small bedroom (8x12) with an antique double bed; a main room (16 x12) with a single bed; and a kitchen (8X12). Sleeps 3, max. Access to the cottage is up a short set of irregular stone stairs from the lake. This could be an impediment for elderly or frail people. The lake is not a private lake. There are other cottages. But it's a very quiet lake and often there's no one else there. The landscape is very similar to Algonquin Park's. North Kawartha is famous as the birthplace of the canoe. This is a thinly-populated landscape of rugged granite bluffs, thickly-forested hills and valleys, and gorgeous lakes that remain quiet and peaceful even during the hottest summer weeks. This place was made by and for lovers, artists, poets, musicians, dreamers, writers, environmentalists, ecologists, escapists...and their children. Enjoy!

This property was settled by the Irish in the mid 1800’s. Originally inhabited by Algonquin peoples the land was cleared for farming and they erected several building including a large German style hand hewn timber frame barn which still stands and is used today.

It is wild to look around and imagine what life was like before now in a time when the land had no boundry lines and was traversed by indigenous peoples of this area. We have a great respect for those who have walked before us and a deep sense of gratitude for being here today.

Our glampsite at Marmora Retreat is tucked into a peaceful corner of the property. We have three glamping domes on site, that look out over our alpaca field. Enjoy wide open skies, fresh country air, and uninterrupted views of pastureland. Our two Boho-Luxe domes blends elevated comfort with the simplicity of outdoor living — plush beds, thoughtfully designed interiors, spa-inspired washrooms, and private decks made for slow mornings and star-filled evenings. Step outside and you’re immersed in the heart of the farm: a herd of gentle alpacas roaming nearby, horses in the distance, and open space that invites you to wander, pause, and breathe a little deeper. For those drawn to a more classic, rustic glamping experience, our Sky-View Dome offers a simpler, wood-stove–forward stay that feels closer to traditional camping — just with a little more comfort. With panoramic views and a cozy cabin atmosphere, Sky-View invites guests to tend the fire, layer up on cooler evenings, and fully embrace the rhythm of the seasons. It’s ideal for those who appreciate the charm of a hands-on, back-to-nature escape while still enjoying the beauty of the alpaca fields and open countryside. The alpaca field is more than a backdrop — it’s part of the experience. Guests often find themselves lingering by the fence with coffee in hand, watching the herd interact, graze, and curiously observe their human neighbours. It’s grounding, a little magical, and completely unhurried. With wellness amenities like sauna and cold plunge, and acres of quiet countryside between Toronto and Ottawa, the glampsite at Marmora Retreat offers a refined nature escape — where comfort and connection live side by side.
