Discover Our Lanark County

Discover the Charm of Lanark County

Quaint small towns. Winding country roads. Star-filled skies.

Tucked away in Eastern Ontario, Lanark County is a place where life slows down. Rolling farmland, sparkling lakes, historic communities, and welcoming local businesses create the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway that feels worlds away from the everyday.

Whether you’re wandering the charming streets of Perth, browsing local boutiques, enjoying a craft beer on a sunny patio, or simply unwinding around a campfire beneath the stars, Lanark County invites you to embrace a slower pace and savour every moment.

Why We Love Lanark County

There’s a quiet charm to Lanark County that’s hard to put into words.

It’s found in the scenic drives that wind through rolling countryside, the historic stone buildings that line the streets of its small towns, and the friendly local businesses that make every visit feel personal.

Unlike destinations built around one major attraction, Lanark County is about discovering the little moments. A morning spent wandering a farmers’ market. An afternoon paddle across a quiet lake. Fresh pastries from a local bakery. A scenic drive with no real destination in mind.

Every season offers something different to experience. Summer brings lakeside adventures, local festivals, patios, and farmers’ markets. Autumn transforms the countryside into a colourful patchwork of reds, oranges, and gold. Winter invites cozy cabin weekends, snow-covered trails, and peaceful evenings by the fire, while spring fills the forests with fresh greenery and blooming wildflowers.

It’s a destination that encourages you to slow down, explore at your own pace, and reconnect with what matters most.



Six Unique Stays in Lanark County

Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a family adventure, or a weekend with friends, our Lanark cabins offer memorable stays designed to help you slow down and connect with nature.

We’ve highlighted some of our favourite stops on the map below to help you plan your stay.

From a morning coffee at Coutts Coffee Roastery to an afternoon exploring Murphy’s Point Provincial Park, sampling local craft beer at Perth Brewery, or picking up treats from Perth Chocolate Works, these local favourites make it easy to build a memorable day. Whether you’re looking for outdoor adventure, a relaxed afternoon in historic Perth, or a few delicious stops along the way, Lanark County is full of places worth discovering.

No matter where the day takes you, evenings are best spent back at your cabin—lighting a campfire, listening to the sounds of nature, and settling in beneath a sky full of stars.


Some of the best getaways aren’t about checking attractions off a list—they’re about how a place makes you feel.

In Lanark County, mornings begin with birdsong and fresh coffee, afternoons are spent exploring quiet backroads and charming small towns, and evenings end beside the fire watching the stars appear overhead.

Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a weekend with friends, or a family adventure, Lanark County offers the perfect place to unplug, recharge, and discover the simple joy of slowing down.

Despite its secluded feel, the region is also home to charming communities worth exploring. The waterfront town of Haliburton is a scenic drive away and offers local cafés, unique shops, restaurants, galleries, and seasonal events that showcase the character of the Highlands. Whether you’re seeking outdoor adventure, peaceful moments in nature, or a little of both, Haliburton Forest delivers an experience that keeps us coming back time and time again.
