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

STR24-00003

WHERE THE ROAD ENDS, THE ESCAPE BEGINS

Perched above Raven Lake at the end of a private forest road and surrounded by Crown Land, Eagle's Nest is a four-season waterfront retreat with expansive lake views that change beautifully from morning mist to starlit evenings.

Whether you're looking for a summer lake escape, an autumn retreat, a winter getaway, or simply to disconnect, connect with yourself at Eagle's Nest and experience them all.

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

FOREST ROAD

The journey to Eagle’s Nest is part of the experience. Approximately 2 km of private forest road takes you away from the outside world, with every curve and hill bringing you deeper into the forest.

COTTAGE
Perched above Raven Lake, Eagle’s Nest was designed to make the most of its elevated setting while combining the character of a nature getaway with the comforts of home.

Three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms accommodate up to six guests, while the open living spaces make it easy to spend time together — or find a quiet corner of your own.

Large windows and multiple outdoor spaces keep the lake and surrounding forest close throughout the day.

But the real living room may be the outdoors...

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

Swim, paddle, fish, explore the shoreline in one of our two canoes 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.

As evening arrives, gather around the fire, pour a drink and watch the lake settle as the night approaches.

Then look up.

Away from the lights and bustle of city life, the night sky shimmers with countless stars. Try to count them all.

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

When you’re ready to come inside, there’s plenty to settle into. Challenge someone to a game of billiards, pull out a board game, curl up with a book or stretch out on the oversized sofa and simply enjoy the view.

And when the day winds down, the hot tub and sauna are waiting—whether you’ve spent the day on the lake, exploring the forest or simply enjoying a slower pace.

With plenty of space to relax and good options for both quiet moments and time together, a rainy day here can feel every bit as enjoyable as a sunny one.

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

FOUR SEASONS
Eagle’s Nest changes with the seasons, and each one brings its own reason to come.

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

AUTUMN
Autumn brings a different kind of magic.
Crisp mornings, mist rising from Raven Lake and the surrounding forest turning into a palette of reds, golds and deep greens make this one of the most beautiful times of year to visit. Spend the day exploring, return to the warmth of the sauna or hot tub, then watch the cottage and lakefront glow as evening settles in

WINTER
Winter transforms the lake and forest into a different kind of escape. Depending on conditions, enjoy ice fishing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling or skating, then come back to the warmth of the cottage, sauna or hot tub.

Spring brings the forest back to life, with quieter days, fresh air and a chance to enjoy the lake and surrounding wilderness before the summer season begins.

Whatever time of year you visit, the setting gives you plenty of reasons to spend time outside—or simply stay in and enjoy being away.

A whole-home backup generator provides additional peace of mind during unexpected power interruptions

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 Highlands offer plenty to explore, including hiking trails, golf, scenic lookouts and year-round outdoor activities. Algonquin Provincial Park is also within 30 minutes driving distance and offers endless trails, portaging and glimpses of wildlife such as moose, bears, foxes and wolves.

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.

WE WANT YOU TO LOVE YOUR TIME HERE
We care about the little things—from clear communication before arrival to being available if you need us during your stay. Our goal is simple: make your time at Eagle's Nest easy, comfortable and memorable.

Leave the busy roads behind, follow the forest in and let Raven Lake set the pace to make the kind of memories that have you thinking about your next visit before you've even left.

Welcome to Eagle's Nest!

LAKESIDE COMMUNITY

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

Many of the families reside 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
Remote entry codes give you private 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.

We are actively working to establish an alternative route so that neighbour access is as unobtrusive as possible and the privacy and enjoyment of our guests are preserved.

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

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.

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.

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!
Winter wonderland!

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.
