Cloudberry Close – A Tiny Lakeside Retreat
Pointe Carniel Lodge
This property dates back to the late 1800s, when it was a farm. Since 1927 it has been under the family name Carniel. In the 60s and 70s this remote spot by the lake was home to an outfitter lodge and we have owned the property since 1977. Over the past 40 years, the Quebec government has invested in reforesting this 850 acre property. This meant planting an abundance of trees, creating a dense, thriving woodland that is now home to a huge range of birds and wildlife. (So, bring your binoculars!)
The Cottage: Cloudberry Close
Nestled at the edge of a whispering forest and perched on the shores of a pristine lake, Cloudberry Close is a tiny, charming cabin designed for the solo traveller seeking peace, inspiration, and connection with nature. Step onto the Muskoka patio and take in the magical lakefront view—a scene that shifts with the light, from misty mornings to golden sunsets reflected on the water. With direct lake access, you can dip your toes in the cool shallows, paddle at dawn, or let the gentle lapping of the waves lull you into serenity. This cozy hideaway is perfect for forest bathing, where the towering trees and fresh pine-scented air offer a natural retreat for the mind and soul. Whether you're sipping coffee as the loons call, reading by lantern light, or humming a quiet tune in the stillness, Cloudberry Close is a sanctuary where nature’s rhythm sets the pace. Ideal for a single guest, this enchanting lakeside escape is perfect for writers, artists, and nature lovers craving solitude and inspiration. Discover the quiet wonder of Cloudberry Close—where the forest meets the water, and the soul finds rest.
