About this property

Luxury Forest Escape | Hot Tub | Sauna | Private Lakefront | Panoramic Views

  • STR24-00003

    Escape to complete privacy at Eagle's Nest Cottage, a secluded four-season retreat perched on a hillside overlooking Raven Lake. From the moment you turn onto the private forest road, the outside world begins to fade away. Two kilometres later, you'll arrive at Eagle's Nest, surrounded by towering pines, granite cliffs, birdsong, and all the comforts of home... it's just you, the trees, and the quiet

    Sip your morning coffee from one of three wrap-around decks while the morning sun rises over the hillside and mist drifts across Raven Lake.
    Spend your days swimming, fishing or canoeing from your private lakefront or explore the trails and attractions of Algonquin Highlands then return to soak in the six-person hot tub, relax in the sauna, challenge friends to a game of billiards, and end the evening around the fire beneath a sky filled with stars.

    Surrounded by Crown land, Eagle's Nest offers a level of peace and privacy that's increasingly difficult to find. Leave behind traffic, sirens, and city lights, and fall asleep to the sounds of wind rustling through the trees, to loons calling across the lake; the lullaby rhythm of nature.

    Whether you're planning a family vacation, a romantic escape, or a peaceful getaway with friends, Eagle's Nest offers the rare opportunity to disconnect from everyday life without sacrificing modern conveniences.

    Need to stay connected? High-speed Starlink internet makes Eagle's Nest an ideal destination for remote work, allowing you to enjoy the peace of the forest without sacrificing productivity.

    A whole-home backup generator provides additional peace of mind, ensuring the fully equipped kitchen and spa-inspired amenities provide uninterrupted comfort during unexpected power outages throughout the year

    Where the road ends, Relaxation begins

    Welcome to the Eagle's Nest!

Terrific location and beautiful accommodation. I'd recommend taking a note of information to access the building and/or wifi before arrival as the phone reception is pretty poor. All amenities were great. Location awesome for exploring Algonquin.

The Perfect Family Getaway

We had an amazing stay! Our hosts were very welcoming, responsive, and helpful. The cottage and grounds were more than expected. Clean, organized, and had everything we needed. Our family couldn't have asked for a better place to spend the week. The location is perfect, quiet, peaceful, and has opportunities to create your own adventures. We look forward to booking again and creating more memories with the family.

Our family really enjoyed the serene location of The Eagle's Nest combined with the luxurious amenities (hot tub, sauna and pool table) and high speed internet. Located more than a mile from a public road, the private lane was well plowed and, even as a winter ice storm raged outside, we were comfortable, relaxed and enjoyed the beauty of it all from our hot tub vantage point. Chris, our host, has thought of every contingency to make sure the house can withstand winter conditions (including a back-up generator). The kitchen is well stocked for cooking meals in. The layout of the house and all it has to offer helped us make memories to last a lifetime. Groomed cross country ski trails are less than an hour a way but during our stay we were able to use the private lane as our playground for adventures in the snow. We loved our time together in the north woods. Thank you Chris for sharing your beautiful property with us!
Winter wonderland!

Just returned from a Family Day long weekend at this gem! It was everything we hoped - a cozy retreat with scenic views, cabin vibes and premium amenities. Hot tub soaks, sauna steams, pool plays, couch curls, wintery walks, lake skates - there really was something for everyone... which is a tall order when travelling with teenagers and a pup;) We appreciated how well kept the place was and how attentive Chris was to our booking. Our only regret... not experiencing it in the summer! A must.

Scenic location and beautiful property

The cottage is beautiful with great views of the water and fall colours. It is fully equipped with all the nice-to-haves while you're vacationing. The place is clean and well maintained. There's plenty to do on the property itself. Unfortunately, the cottage went into blackout due to a power outage within minutes of us arriving. Everything turned off - heating, water, stove, wifi etc. since all appliances were connected via electricity. Chris was responsive and stayed in touch through it. I will flag that the cottage does not sleep 8. We were a group of 8 and there were beds for only 7. One of us had to sleep on the sofa which was not ideal. Additionally, Chris reached out to us during our stay mentioning that there will be an additional charge of $200 because we were 8 people instead of 6. We shared with him screenshots of our booking that clearly showed 6 adults and 2 children booked. After realizing that we were right, Chris said that he wouldn't charge us extra to "compensate for the power outage". All the back and forth threw us off a little since we were there to spend relaxed time. I wish we would instead be compensated by taking $200 off the bill since the place was good to sleep <8 people. Other than that, we had a nice time and will recommend the place to anyone looking to enjoy the Algonquins during the fall.
