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

STR24-00003

WHERE THE ROAD ENDS, THE ESCAPE BEGINS

Perched high above Raven Lake at the end of a private forest road and surrounded by forest and Crown Land, Eagle's Nest is a four-season lakefront retreat where the view becomes part of the experience.

Wake to panoramic lake views and morning mist. Spend the day swimming, paddling, exploring the shoreline or simply settling into the quiet. Come evening, relax in the hot tub above the lake as the last light fades and the stars begin to appear.

Every season brings something different to Eagle's Nest — but the feeling remains the same.

Here, there's room to be together — and plenty of room to disappear.

THE JOURNEY — FOREST ROAD
The journey to Eagle's Nest is part of the experience.

Approximately 2 km of private forest road winds through the trees, with curves and hills carrying you deeper into the forest and farther from the pace of everyday life.

Then, almost suddenly, the trees open and Raven Lake comes into view.

You've arrived.

THE COTTAGE
Perched above Raven Lake, Eagle's Nest was designed around its elevated setting, with large windows and multiple outdoor spaces that keep the lake and surrounding forest in view throughout the day.

Three bedrooms, all on the upper floor, and 2.5 bathrooms comfortably accommodate up to six guests across three levels. There is space to gather around the table, stretch out in the living room, play a game of billiards or step outside and follow the view.

Just as importantly, there is room to retreat. With multiple levels and spaces to settle into, everyone can find their own corner without ever feeling far apart.

It is a cottage designed for time together — without requiring everyone to spend every minute together.

LIFE BY THE LAKE
Raven Lake is where summer days naturally unfold.

Swim from the lakefront, paddle along the shoreline, fish, explore the bay or head out on the water with the cottage's canoes, kayaks and paddle boards. Or simply find a comfortable spot on the deck and watch the day go by.

With multiple outdoor spaces to choose from, you can follow the sun — or the shade — throughout the day.

Back at the cottage, gather around the fire, play a game of billiards, settle into the deck with a drink or simply take in the view.

The best part is that nothing is required. You can spend the day exploring — or never leave Eagle's Nest at all.

A COTTAGE FOR EVERY KIND OF DAY
A great escape shouldn't depend on perfect weather.

When rain rolls in or the temperature drops, there's no need to go anywhere. Settle into the oversized sofa with a book, challenge someone to a game of billiards, pull out a board game or simply watch the lake change through the windows.

The cottage was made for slower days too — warm, comfortable and spacious enough that everyone can find their own corner without ever feeling far apart.

And when you're ready to step outside again, the hot tub and sauna are waiting.

With reliable high-speed Starlink internet, you can stay connected when you need to. Disconnect when you don't.

The emails can wait.

As daylight fades, Eagle's Nest takes on a different character.

The last light lingers over Raven Lake while warm light begins to glow from the cottage. Step outside for the evening, relax in the hot tub above the lake or follow the softly lit walkway down toward the water.

As blue hour gives way to darkness, the lights of the cottage and forest become part of the view. Away from the bustle of the city, the night sky opens above you.

Then look up.

Stay outside beneath the stars.
Or head back inside, pour another drink and let the evening continue.

FOUR SEASONS
Every season changes the character of Eagle's Nest.

SUMMER is for long days on the water — swimming, paddling, fishing, exploring the shoreline or simply settling into the deck with a view of Raven Lake.

AUTUMN brings crisp mornings, mist rising from the lake and the surrounding forest turning into a palette of reds, golds and deep greens. It's a wonderful time to explore, slow down and enjoy the changing landscape.

WINTER transforms the lake and forest into a quieter retreat. Depending on conditions, enjoy ice fishing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling or skating, then return to the warmth and comfort of the cottage.

SPRING brings the forest back to life — fresh green growth, quiet mornings, wildlife returning and the first signs of another season on Raven Lake.

Whenever you arrive, the lake is always there — but the view is never quite the same.

CLOSE ENOUGH TO EXPLORE. FAR ENOUGH TO ESCAPE
Eagle's Nest feels wonderfully remote, but you're not completely off the map.

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

The surrounding Algonquin Highlands offer plenty to explore, including hiking trails, golf, scenic lookouts and year-round outdoor activities. Algonquin Provincial Park is also within driving distance for those who want to spend a day exploring deeper into the wilderness.

You can spend the entire weekend at the cottage without going anywhere — or use Eagle's Nest as your base for exploring the area.

The choice is yours.

THE EXPERIENCE
From the moment you arrive, the intention is simple: everything should feel easy. The home is prepared for you, we're available when you need us, and otherwise the time is yours.

Once you're settled in, the lake sets the pace.

Eagle’s Nest is for those who want more than a place to sleep for a few nights. It is a place to reconnect, slow down and spend time together—or simply disappear into the quiet for a while.

Come for the lake. Stay for the stillness. Leave with the feeling that you've genuinely been somewhere else—and with the kind of memories that have you thinking about your next visit before you've even left.

LAKESIDE COMMUNITY
Eagle's Nest is part of a small, welcoming lakeside community of approximately a dozen cottages scattered around an isolated bay.

Many owners live elsewhere, so the bay can often be wonderfully quiet. At other times, you may hear the natural sounds of a small lake community as neighbours and families enjoy their cottages and the water.

ACCESS
Private access codes provide exclusive access to the cottage, waterfront and amenities during your stay.

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

A whole-home backup generator helps keep the retreat comfortable during unexpected power interruptions. With reliable high-speed Starlink internet, you can stay connected when you need to and disconnect when you don't.
