Timber Wilderness Lodge | Cottage in North Frontenac
4 Bedroom Cottage in North Frontenac
Timber Wilderness Lodge is the ultimate blend of luxury and seclusion, tucked away in the heart of Eastern Ontario, just minutes from the breathtaking Bon Echo Provincial Park. This stunning, custom-built timber log home offers an unforgettable lakeside escape with four spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and incredible amenities including a covered hot tub, a brand-new solarium, and exclusive access to three waterfront docks. Set within a designated night sky reserve, it’s the perfect setting for those who love to stargaze under pristine skies.
Set on a private peninsula on the serene Mink Track Lake, Timber Wilderness Lodge delivers both privacy and adventure. As you arrive, be prepared for a steep hill on the driveway—take it slow—but you'll find convenient parking right near the front entrance. Just a few steps up and you'll enter the breathtaking great room, where expansive panoramic views of the lake greet you. The open-concept dining and living areas flow seamlessly into a fully equipped kitchen with brand-new appliances, offering all the comforts of home in a spectacular wilderness setting.
The main floor also features a cozy primary bedroom with direct access to the lakeside deck, perfect for morning coffee or evening wine under the stars. A beautiful three-piece bath with a clawfoot tub provides a luxurious space to unwind after a day outdoors. Down the charming winding staircase, you’ll find three more well-appointed bedrooms—the lower-level primary bedroom with a king bed, and two bunk rooms ideal for kids—making Timber Wilderness Lodge perfect for two families traveling together.
Outside, the adventure truly begins. Wander the private trails along the peninsula, discovering hidden gems like Dock #2, a prime spot for fishing, and Dock #3, perfect for swimming in crystal-clear deep water. Dock #1, located conveniently near the cottage entrance, offers a peaceful spot to watch the stars dance across the night sky. Whether you're exploring the woods, soaking in the hot tub, or simply lounging by the water, Timber Wilderness Lodge offers a lakeside retreat you’ll never want to leave.
