Our Guide to the Best Swimming at CABINSCAPE

Private Paradise at Kawartha

Located in Kirkfield, our Kawartha location features a private, pristine lake which was once the site of a limestone quarry. Our five lakefront cabins—Goldenrod, Hawkweed, Woodrush, Burdock, and Stonecrop—each boast their own private dock to enjoy endless hours of swimming.

Guests staying at our tents – Cicely, Stargrass, Sorrel and Senna can enjoy the lake from our large communal dock area, complete with in-water hammock. Just a 5-minute walk to the dock!

Paddleboard and canoe rentals are available for guests to explore the open waters. With no motorized boats or fishing allowed, it’s an ideal escape for those seeking peace and quiet amidst untouched natural beauty.

Family-Friendly Fun in Haliburton

Bone, Cove and Baylight cabins in Haliburton are our fan favourites for a reason—they offer fantastic swimming spots in to Bone Lake right off the dock, perfect for families of all ages. Unwind on the dock and take in the peaceful surroundings. Whether you’re dipping into the lake or enjoying a leisurely paddle, these are “bucket list” cabins for the swimming enthusiast.

For those seeking a more secluded swimming experience, our Pelaw lakefront cabins are the perfect escape. Located on a quiet lake, Quasi, Kaya, and Willow are tucked deep in nature and offer a peaceful, serene setting. These cabins feature swimming docks off the shore, making it easy to spend your days swimming, lounging, and soaking in the quiet surroundings.

And if swimming isn’t your thing, hop in one of the canoes and explore the larger chain of lakes that Pelaw connects to — a peaceful way to take in the scenery and discover more of the area. If you’re looking for a tranquil, off-the-beaten-path place to unwind, these cabins are a must-visit.

Wild Lake Adventure at Mason, Mica & Rhya

For an authentic backcountry experience with excellent swimming options, Mason, Mica, and Rhya cabins are ideal. These remote locations are located on the waterfront of wild lakes. For clear swimming, use the provided canoe to paddle to your own private off-shore swimming dock. The perfect way to immerse yourself in the serenity of nature and enjoy a refreshing swim in a natural environment.

Beach Days in Calabogie

Our Calabogie cabins—Wren, Starling, and Finch—are situated on the forested grounds of Calabogie Peaks Resort. While these cabins don’t have direct access to the lake, they are just a short distance from the public beach. Head down the road to enjoy a day by the water, where you can swim, sunbathe, and relax on the sandy shores. It’s the perfect spot to cool off and enjoy the sunshine.
