About this property

Eagle's Nest on Raven Lake | Panoramic View | Hot Tub & Sauna | Lakefront Escape

  • STR24-00003

    WHERE THE ROAD ENDS, THE ESCAPE BEGINS

    Rise above Raven Lake, where granite meets pine and the forest gives way to endless water. Let the day drift by on the lake. Then sink into the hot tub, surrender to the sauna and watch the stars reclaim the sky.

    Three levels of lakefront living offer space to gather, retreat and make the lake your own.

    Here, there's room to be together when you want it, and plenty of room to disappear when you need solitude.

    THE JOURNEY — FOREST ROAD

    At the end of a 2 km private forest road, high above Raven Lake, Eagle’s Nest is a four-season retreat framed by granite, pines and wilderness. The lake stretches below, Crown Land lies beyond the trees, and evenings bring a sky full of stars and the warm glow of the hot tub.

    The journey is part of the experience. With every turn through the forest, the pace of everyday life falls away. Then the trees open, the lake comes into view, and you know you’ve arrived.

    COTTAGE

    Designed for up to six guests, Eagle’s Nest offers three levels of living space, with all three bedrooms on the upper floor.

    The primary bedroom is an open-concept loft overlooking the staircase. The two additional bedrooms have partial-height walls that do not extend to the ceiling, allowing the central air system to circulate between rooms.

    The bedroom with two twin beds also features a smart TV and shelves of books and games.

    The layout suits a quiet escape for two or a getaway with family and close friends.

    LIFE BY THE LAKE

    Start the morning with coffee on the deck as mist lifts from Raven Lake. Spend the afternoon swimming, paddling along the shoreline or exploring the surrounding forest and Crown Land.

    Back at the cottage, gather around the fire, challenge someone to a game of billiards or find a quiet corner with a book.

    Adventure when you want it. Stillness when you don’t. Here, the day belongs to you.

    WHEN THE WEATHER TURNS

    Rain on the windows. A book, a board game or a film on the oversized sofa. Outside, Raven Lake changes with the weather; inside, there’s room to settle in and let the hours pass.

    Gather together or retreat to your own corner without feeling far apart.

    Some of the best cottage days are the ones spent doing very little.

    AFTER DARK

    As daylight fades over Raven Lake, Eagle’s Nest takes on a different character. Warm light spills from the cottage, and the softly illuminated walkway leads toward the lakefront.

    Step into the hot tub, unwind beneath the open sky and watch the stars emerge, far from the glare of city lights.

    Or head back inside and let the evening unfold at its own pace.

    No rush. No schedule. Just the quiet of the forest and a little more time to yourself.

    FOUR SEASONS, ONE ESCAPE

    Summer brings long days on the water. Swim, paddle, fish, explore the shoreline or settle onto the deck and take in the view.

    Autumn brings crisp mornings, mist rising from the lake and colour spreading through the surrounding forest. As the evenings grow cooler, return to the warmth of the sauna and hot tub.

    Winter transforms the lake and forest into a quieter wilderness. Depending on conditions, enjoy ice fishing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling or skating before returning to the warmth of the cottage.

    Spring brings fresh growth, quieter mornings and the forest awakening for another season on Raven Lake.

    Every season has its own character. The setting remains familiar, but the view is never quite the same.

    CLOSE ENOUGH TO EXPLORE. FAR ENOUGH TO ESCAPE.

    Eagle’s Nest feels removed from everyday life, yet the essentials are within reach.

    The village of Dorset is approximately 15–20 minutes away by car, with groceries, restaurants, coffee and other supplies.

    Explore the surrounding Highlands through hiking, golf, scenic lookouts and seasonal outdoor activities. Algonquin Provincial Park is also within driving distance for a day exploring one of Ontario’s best-known wilderness destinations.

    Spend your stay enjoying the cottage and lake, or venture out to discover the surrounding area.

    YOUR TIME, YOUR WAY

    We prepare the cottage for your arrival and remain available if you need us. Once you’ve settled in, the lake, the forest and the time ahead are yours.

    Come for the lake, stay for the stillness—and leave thinking about your next visit before you’ve even left.

    ACCESS

    Your private keyless entry code will be provided on the day of check-in. During your stay, you’ll have exclusive use of the cottage, waterfront and amenities.

    NEIGHBOUR ACCESS

    An established lakefront pathway may occasionally be used by a neighbour to access their property

    LAKESIDE COMMUNITY

    Eagle’s Nest is part of a small lakeside community of approximately a dozen cottages scattered around a secluded bay.

    Many owners live elsewhere, so the bay is often wonderfully quiet. At times, you may hear the natural sounds of lakeside life as neighbours and families enjoy their cottages and the water.

    BEFORE BOOKING:
    PRIVATE FOREST ROAD

    Eagle’s Nest is located approximately 2 km along a private forest road with curves and hills. The road is maintained year-round, but conditions can vary. Please drive slowly and carefully; the recommended speed is 20 km/h.

    WINTER TRAVEL

    Winter snowfall can be significant, and road conditions can change quickly. The private road is plowed, sanded and maintained throughout the winter, but winter driving conditions should always be taken into account. During winter months, a 4x4/AWD vehicle equipped with proper winter tires is strongly recommended. Please check the forecast and road conditions before travelling.

    GENERATOR & WI-FI

    A whole-home backup generator helps keep the cottage running during unexpected power interruptions. Starlink provides high-speed internet, allowing you to stay connected when you need to—or disconnect and enjoy the surroundings.

    QUIET HOURS

    To preserve the peaceful atmosphere of Raven Lake, quiet hours begin at 11:00 p.m. Please be considerate of neighbouring cottages and keep noise to a minimum during these hours.

    GUESTS

    Only registered guests are permitted on the property unless additional visitors are approved in advance.

    PETS

    Pets are welcome with prior approval. Please contact us before booking to discuss bringing your pet.

    SMOKING & VAPING

    Smoking and vaping are not permitted inside the cottage. Please use the designated outdoor areas and dispose of cigarette butts in the pails provided.

    GARBAGE & RECYCLING

    As Eagle’s Nest is located along a private forest road without curbside collection, guests are responsible for taking household garbage and recycling to a designated drop-off location after their stay. Instructions are provided before checkout.

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!

Terrific cottage on a quiet part of the lake. We stayed with our three kids ranging from 9-15 and all thoroughly enjoyed it. Paddle boards, canoes and kayaks (two each) meant that there were plenty of options and no bickering. The host was extremely responsive and the whole process was smooth and easy.

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.
