Perched on a stunning 230-acre property, Hawkweed Cabin overlooks a crystal-clear, spring-fed lake that was once a limestone quarry, offering an otherworldly escape just 1.5 hours from Toronto.
One of five secluded lakeside cabins, Hawkweed offers breathtaking views, on-site hiking trails, and direct water access from your own private dock. Each cabin comes fully equipped with a fire pit, BBQ, picnic table, Muskoka chairs, and complimentary paddleboard—swapped for snowshoes in winter for year-round adventure.
Due to the realities of this site and the safety risks involved, we do not recommend this cabin for families with children under the age of 6. Pups are also only permitted on specific “pet-friendly” sites. See the “Be Aware” section below for more detail.
BE AWARE This site features deep water, steep stairs, cliff edges, and rocky paths. Families with young children should exercise caution and provide close supervision.
Fishing is not permitted on our lake.
WATER Our water is pumped from the lake. Running water is shut off when temperatures dip below freezing. This normally happens mid-October but can vary each year. When running water is shut off, we provide 40L of water for dish washing and drinking. All taps (including shower taps) are turned off. Water is turned back on before the May Long Weekend.
DRIVE IN ACCESS This cabin is a year-round drive-in cabin. The lanes accessing the cabin are plowed throughout the winter. However, we recommend 4WD or AWD drive vehicles with snow tires during the winter as country roads and plowed lanes can be difficult to navigate with low riding or 2WD vehicles.
THINGS TO BRING * Your own food & drink * Your own towels, sheets, pillows, pillow cases and blankets * Firewood * Bug repellent
OFF-GRID BASICS This eco-cabin is completely OFF-GRID. (Don’t let this scare you). Our cabin is modernized and solar powered with electricity and heat. Feel good knowing that you’re choosing a low-carbon, eco-friendly getaway. As an off-grid cabin, energy conservation is key. Drawing too much energy may cause you to lose power, so you’ll need to be mindful of your consumption during your stay. There is a back-up generator when solar power is low.
LEAVE NO TRACE All garbage and recycling must be packed up and taken home on your departure.
