Was more then what we expected. Quiet, relax, reconnecting with ourself. Taking natural rithm of life. Everything perfect

Perfect- couldn’t have asked for anything better! Great property

Amazing Yurt cabin with 11 acres of privacy . We had 5 days of serenity while the wife and I stayed at the Irwings’ . There’s a comfortable Yurt cabin , spacious wood kitchen cabin and enclosed lounge , a gazebo and the lake itself for you to explore in their canoe and kayaks . Doug and Orla were wonderful hosts , Susan’s listing and pre arrival assistance was top notch . We’ll definitely be back here .

We had an absolutely unforgettable stay with Doug and Orla. They were great hosts and their area is perfect. Everything is so thought through. Loved fires in the yurt, relaxing on the dock and exploring in the kayaks. You won't regret staying here!

We loved the yurt and cabin; the lake was absolutely stunning. We really enjoyed kayaking on the lake and greatly appreciated the solitude. The amenities were fantastic! We will definitely be booking another vacation. Thanks so much for an incredible stay.

Beautiful place quiet and pretty. For cold night stays Hardwood for stove would allow longer burn time. If linens towels and pillows were provided international visitors could enjoy this escape Great weekend to reconnect with my partner

Very secluded very private .. had entire lake to ourselves ..

Wonderful New Years 3 night stay Very friendly hosts. The yurt was complete with the comforts needed for an outdoor adventure. The wood stove did the trick in minus 22 deg C weather keeping you warm and snuggly. The proximity to hiking in conservation area and Algonquin park makes this yurt rental an excellent choice. Would highly recommend this to any couple looking for a quiet, secluded getaway

Wow!!!! This property is simply amazing and doug orla are very welcoming and friendly. This off the grid yurt is beautiful and with the waterfall right beside it makes it that much more peaceful and relaxing! The lake is very quiet with only a couple other properties on it! We were very lucky to have an overnight snow fall making this property even more wonderful in the morning when we woke up! We will definitely be back hopefully in the fall! Thank you doug and orla for sharing your beautiful oasis with us:)

Rarely can you find a private lake experience and this yurt oasis exceeded our expectations. The yurt itself is super comfortable with a skylight to enjoy the stars at night. Impressed with how substantial the structure is with its wool walls and vaulted ceiling. We enjoyed falling asleep to the gentle waterfall nearby. The separate cabin had everything we needed for a semi off-the-grid experience. We had Benson Lake to ourselves during our visit, loved the privacy and serenity, with only loons to break the silence. Thank you Doug and Orla for creating a private and natural oasis!

Perfect Yurt experience! The property is so beautiful and there is something to look at everywhere you walk. The Yurt it self was so spacious, and had what was needed. We loved the different areas. The separated eating area, and campfire/lounge area was great. It was also enclosed so it helped with the bugs, and rain. The lake was so peaceful, and we even saw a moose swimming across! Doug and Orla were so friendly, helpful and were great hosts. We will definitely be looking to book again next summer, and the added bonus was we were able to bring our puppy on this adventure. Thanks again for the lovely stay!

Beautiful views, peaceful, and an overall great time! Doug and Orla were very helpful, and we would definitely return.

This was the perfect getaway after a long winter and our first time staying in a yurt! Doug and Orla have a beautiful property that made being off the grid easy! Thanks for the wonderful stay and hospitality!

This is a review for anyone who loves the outdoors but doesn't quite love camping/tenting it, like myself. This is the *perfect* middle for you. Honestly, photos do not do it justice. The yurt is MUCH cozier and almost 'updated' than photos (photos are great, but in person is even better). The fireplace in the yurt was hands down my favourite thing - makes it feel so cute and comfortable. I have a few suggestions for upcoming travelers: 1) Bugs were not that bad; we were there in mid-June, and only faced some mosquitos but nothing unbearable/couldn't be warded off with spray 2) Bring lots of lighting - can get really dark at night, and we set up lights along our path, which made it even more comfortable at night for walking around as the property is very large. Note that they do provide lights themselves, but you can always use more :) 3) Don't bring too much. We brought soooooo many things, but honestly, the Yurt has everything you can need. 4) The bathroom is actually so clean and comfortable - not like a camping communal bathroom at all. 5) If you're there for 3-5 days, I would plan as follows: one day at Algonquin (only 20-30 min away!!!); one day being super lazy on the dock (incredible dock); and one day exploring the area or canoeing/kayaking around. 6) Last thing I'll mention is that if you're scared of forest creatures, etc - there isn't anything scary that might frighten you at night. You feel super secure in the yurt and no creepy sounds - only welcoming sounds of nature and loons! Absolutely adored this stay. Doug and Orla, you were so helpful and accommodating - thank you so much.

My husband and I had a wonderful 4 nights here. There is so much to do and see on the property alone. You do not need to go anywhere. The views and the sounds are fantastic! Seeing the property is worth the stay on its own (waterfall and the lake are BEAUTIFUL!) We loved sleeping and hanging out in the Yurt. Such a romantic/cozy place. It was evident that the owners had put a lot of thought into the experience for their guests. We will 100% visit again in the future.

Orla and Doug were lovely hosts and the property was well kept, quaint and so private. We loved every minute and it was so wonderful being able to bring our pup too. Canoeing on the lake was so peaceful and the yurt was beautiful and comfortable. A truly lovely experience.
