Natural Joy! Cosy Canoe Cottage

71km from Minden · 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!

2 nights at Natural Joy! Cosy Canoe Cottage
Paul's cabin is so cozy and situated within such a stunning and remote area.
We loved canoeing around Ragged Lake and looking the beautiful big faces of the Canadian Shield. We also loved just starring out at the lake and looking at the birds, the trees and the stars. My partner and I had such a lovely time and will definitely be visiting again!

Everything about this place was perfect for us! It was easy to find, private and clean.
Our site was right on the water with a fire pit and a picnic table. The outhouse was impeccably cleaned and close to our site. We had access to kayaks and a canoe however, we didn't end up having time to use them.
Hayley was extremely responsive and friendly.
We definitely recommend staying here if you're in the area!

We absolutely loved our stay at the cottage! Despite the wind, it was still an easy canoe ride in and the maps were super helpful. It was well-equipped for cooking and being cozy. Such a beautiful space and 10/10 cd collection. Would definitely stay here again :)

Weekend Trip to Camp Rose Island
Sarah’s arrival instructions were perfect (our GPS definitely said we arrived before we arrived). We ended up being able to drive all the way in to our site in our Corolla, there was only one rock that stuck out a bit but Sarah warned us about it. The site itself was secluded and quiet, a good distance away from the next closest site. The lake was lovely, the land is lovely, Sarah is lovely; all around a lovely experience 💚

My Husband and I went here for our 2nd wedding anniversary. We loved Paul’s cabin! Paul had everything we needed for a weekend getaway. A real artists retreat, the perfect place for us to unwind and connect.
The only thing to keep in mind is that the steps getting up to the cabin are a little steep so if you have any health or mobility issues that is something to be aware of.
1000/10 would definitely recommend, and we for sure will be back.

We had site 3, with excellent access to the water and a site that was just the right size for two tents and a dining shelter, as well as two cars.
We had the place to ourselves, but we did meet the hosts and their family who ensured all was up to standard.
Portable toilet was serviced while we stayed, and was nice and clean.
Very convenient to have 3 kayaks, a canoe, with safety equipment, paddles, and PFDs available.
Site 3 had a sandy, mid-shin beach area that led to the lake which was a typical lake bottom. Water in the bay was a bit iron coloured. We enjoyed swimming and paddling around!
A great stay!! Thanks!

Staying at the Forest Site was a top notch experience! Sarah and Will were excellent hosts. Sarah met our car at the road when we arrived and showed us to our site so there were no issues at all in finding the campsite. The cooking area was so nice to have, especially since there was a fire ban and we couldn’t cook over the fire pit. The supplied tent was very roomy and comfortable and we also had plenty of space to pitch other tents. The Forest Site felt very isolated and private from the other sites. The shared beach area and swim dock were great and located on a beautiful private lake. Highly recommend and I hope to stay here again!

3 nights at Natural Joy! Cosy Canoe Cottage
Paul and Rosa’s cabin is a truly special place. The magic begins with the canoe ride over and continues as you discover the cabin tucked away in the trees. The outdoor and indoor spaces are thoughtfully designed, offering the comforts of home in an off-grid setting. Paul was attentive, communicative, and kind, with clear and helpful instructions. The little touches he suggested made our stay super smooth. We were glad to meet the man behind this beautiful place on our paddle out! I absolutely recommend this cabin for a beautiful retreat, and am so glad that my partner and I discovered it this year!

The perfect space to disconnect from the every day hustle and bustle. We loved the silence and peaceful nature of being here! Will met us with a friendly welcome when we arrived and showed us to our site. We spent 4 nights; canoeing and spending time in the water while at night feeling memorized by a sky full of stars! We loved our stay and would recommend to anyone who truly loves being in nature and off grid camping!

Everything met our expectations at the forest site. 2 min walk to the lake which was nice. Enjoyed the canoes, some fishing and the paddleboard. It rained the whole time but that's out of everyone's control. The provided propane stove was handy. Just be sure to bring your own cutlery, pots, pans, napkins, etc... one person slept up on the bunk, while I set up a cot below. We both slept well. Recommend this to others looking to escape into the woods and not have to worry about bringing a tent.

"Beautiful" feels like an understatement in describing Paul and Rosa's place. From the location to the setup to the ambiance, everything was perfect. If you are sick of cottage rentals with "Live, Laugh, Love" signs hanging on the wall, you may just adore this place. Warning: leaving is difficult.

Weekend Trip to Muskoka Wellness Retreat
Camping right on the lake was awesome. Beautiful, calming view from the site (#2). #3 also has a great view (and the best water access of any of the four sites). The little solar-powered charger was nice to light up the tent whenever needed. All sites filled up for the weekend, so it was slightly noisier than we'd hoped but still nowhere near the noise of your typical campground. The other campers were respectful and friendly so it didn't become a major issue. Jet skis made their presence known most of the weekend, so be prepared for that. Otherwise, enjoy time away from the concrete and traffic, and get out on the water with the (included in your stay) canoe/kayaks!

We stayed at Site 3 at Muskoka Wellness Retreat in Huntsville to celebrate a birthday with friends, and it was such a wonderful experience. The site had plenty of space for multiple tents and a dining tent, which made our stay super comfortable. We especially loved the easy access to the water — sandy bottom, great for swimming, and our dogs had an absolute blast splashing around.
The bathroom was clean, the bugs were manageable, and even though there was a fire ban, we didn’t feel like we missed out on anything. The weather was perfect, and the atmosphere made for a really relaxing and fun weekend.
Our host, Haylee, was responsive, kind, and made sure everything went smoothly. We’d definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful, well-kept campsite in Muskoka. We can’t wait to come back!
