Cedar Grove Lodge is a cottage resort located on beautiful Peninsula lake in picturesque Muskoka, Ontario. Located a short drive between Huntsville and the world famous Algonquin Park, the lodge offers 19 individual lakeside cottages stretched along 1600 feet of natural shoreline.
This Ontario resort has been in operation by the Fleming family for over 81 years. Our rich tradition of offering unique log cabins with wood burning stone fireplaces with three delicious meals per day has kept generations of Muskoka vacation travellers coming back year after year.
The lodge and cottage rentals are open year round for your unique Muskoka getaway vacation.
Winter in Muskoka brings a plethora of activity choices including cross country skiing, snowshoeing, skating on our lake rink, or crisp morning walks. Having said that, the most popular activity in winter is sitting by a roaring fire in your own lakeside cabin, looking out over Peninsula lake and enjoying a scenic Ontario winter.
In summer, guests at the lodge can choose from a myriad activity options, or simply relax and unwind in a Muskoka chair on the dock. We offer free use of all of the non-motorized boats, which include canoes, kayaks, pedal boats, windsurfers, and row boats. Tours on our pontoon boat and water-skiing are also free of charge. Please visit the summer page of this website for more summer activity information.
Fall brings cool nights
and spectacular Muskoka colours. Crisp morning
walks down our country road are popular, as well as
catching up with a good book on the dock in the warm
afternoon sun on Peninsula Lake. Many guests will
choose to take a packed lunch and head out to
Algonquin Park to try of their many hiking trails. A pre-dinner canoe ride can be the perfect way to
end another glorious day at your lakeside log cabin
resort.
Spring is a great
time of year to enjoy birdwatching. On May 10th,

Cedar Grove is proud to be an environmentally friendly Ontario cottage rental resort. We have been rated and inspected by Audubon International and under its green leaf eco-rating system, have received four Green Leaves. We are the first resort in Ontario to be awarded Four Green Leaves on its first rating. We are committed to offering guests a way to enjoy what Huntsville and Muskoka has to offer with as small a carbon footprint as possible. In addition, through our partnership with Planetair, we are now able to offer guests a way of making their stay carbon neutral. Whether you are from southern Ontario, a nearby State or Province, or from anywhere in Canada, a unique carbon offset can be created for your Ontario getaway. You can enter your distance travelled and type of vehicle, as well as your length of stay, and Planetair will provide you with a dollar amount associated with offsetting your stay at our cottage resort. Please visit www.cedargrove.planetair.ca to offset your Huntsville vacation.
We are proud supporters of the Muskoka Wildlife
Center. For 2 years in a row we have been "Silver"
sponsors of Yeti the Canada Lynx and Rufus the
Bobcat. Ontario resorts have a rich tradition of
giving back to the community and we feel
environmental causes are a great way for us to do
that.
Cedar Grove is a member of Savour Muskoka which
is a local organization that promotes the use of
local farmers and culinary artisans. Where
possible we source local ingredients and
products to help local small businesses and as
part of our eco program.
Cedar Grove is the first Ontario resort to
be Ocean Wise approved. Ocean Wise is a
conservation program based out of the
Vancouver Aquarium that helps restaurants
and other food establishments to choose,
where possible, the most sustainable,
environmentally friendly seafood
options. Thorough research is done by Ocean
Wise to come up with a list of the best
items that have the least impact on the
local ecosystem. A few of the Ocean Wise
items you might see on our menu include Nova
Scotia Arctic Char and Wild Lake Erie
Pickerel.
The guests of Cedar Grove at the end of March 2009
had a fun time participating in Earth Hour. Most of
the lodges lights were turned off, save for a few
that stayed on for safety. All of the guests enjoyed
adding a eco theme to their holiday by also turning
off all the lights in the cabins for an hour, in
fact many kept them off long after that because of
the great fun they were having playing board games
and watching the fire in the dark!
Cedar Grove is now on
Twitter. Visit our Twitter page at
