The story of this cabin is one of many hands. The ever-evolving wood cabin in Restoule, Canada, has been a shared space for family, friends that may as well be family, and anyone willing to battle the bugs in summer and the cold in winter. We’re thrilled to now share it with you, too.

Perfect for big groups of friends, family groups and those looking for a peaceful escape in nature.

Bring your furry friends – Porter Lake, Canada is pet-friendly accommodation.

The Space

Porter Lake is nestled in the heart of Algonquin Park in Canada. Accessible via Hawthorne Drive, the cabin and private lake offer a tranquil retreat. With 4×4 access ensuring seclusion throughout the year, the journey to the cabin is a rewarding adventure. Whether you enjoy the snowy trails on snowshoes, navigate the rugged terrain with an ATV, or opt for the reliability of a 4×4 truck, the extra effort to reach this destination is truly worthwhile.

The off-the-grid cabin is designed in a shared loft style and accommodates up to 9 guests. Please check the Airbnb listing for a full breakdown of the bed configuration and important things to know about the property.

Guest Access

As a guest of Porter Lake, you will have access to the entire cabin and a private lake.

Other things to note

While we provide the essentials, we recommend you bring towels, ice, torches and sleeping bags.

A few important points to consider:

  1. There is no drinking water available at Porter Lake. We will provide you with jugs of drinking water and a map leading you to a spring on Hawthorne Drive. If you prefer, you can bring water purification tablets or filters for the well water.
  2. The lake area has limited reception, offering a perfect environment to unplug, relax, and unwind. However, it may not be ideal for work that requires internet access.
  3. This cabin, nestled in the woods, is suitable for all seasons. Expect encounters with wildlife during your stay, possibly even inside the cabin. While we strive to maintain the cabin for guests and the forest for furry friends, encountering a few mice, a red chipmunk, or a chipping sparrow is a possibility.

Cromwell Farm Reviews

“We had a wonderful stay at Greg and Alison’s place for the second time. A scenic 35 minute drive from Byron, the Cromwell Farm is an oasis of stylish calm. The epic view of rolling green hillsides never gets old and is the perfect backdrop to unwind, while the pool and spa provide both fun and relaxation. One of the most beautiful bathrooms I have ever used – don’t miss a bath looking out to the hills. Thank you Greg and Alison for another lovely holiday. We hope to be back soon.”

“An amazing place to stay. The beds are super comfy with gorgeous sheets, the house is beautiful and very homely. Everything you need is supplied. The view of the river is calming and peaceful and the pool is such a great added touch.”

Joy • March 2024 • Big River Retreat, Ulmarra

“This home was truly amazing – the photos do not do it justice! Such a beautiful, peaceful spot in the hinterland. They had all the amenities to make our stay welcome and the bed was so comfortable. We couldn’t get enough and didn’t want to leave.”

Ross • January 2024 • Middle Shed, Goonengerry

“We loved Little River Wooli Cottage, with its well-appointed living spaces and generous amenities. The main cottage is set on floor above the ground and catches a delightful cross-breeze even on the hottest day, so it was the perfect retreat after each day at the beach. Our hosts were quick to respond to any query, and we felt well looked after. Highly recommended!”
