Although known for its gourmet dinners, Algonquin Provincial Park’s Bartlett Lodge also offers 13 small but comfortable cabins, three of which are now solar-electric powered. Nestled along the shoreline of Cache Lake, this corner of the park was a popular lodge destination in the early 1900s, when guests arrived by railroad. Today they come by car along Highway 60, and are then ferried the last kilometre in a motorized canoe. The main lodge dates back to 1923, but one of the cabins, the Diel Ma Care, was built in the 1890s as a place for convalescents to take in clean air. It’s now a three-bedroom cottage with a small sitting room, a bathroom with a small claw-footed tub, and a screened Muskoka room with a great view of the lake. All the other cabins are named after Tom Thomson paintings, reproductions of which hang on the walls. Although the lodge has its own trail, guests can also hike one of the 15 trails along the Highway 60 corridor. At the restaurant, a delicious five-course meal might include venison with a port wine and cherry reduction, foie gras terrine, and a chocolate and walnut tart.
