Who says cottage vacations only happen during the summer? If you’ve got the vacation days to spare and the ideal spot to escape to, winter can be the perfect time to relax, recharge and unwind.
Even in the dead of winter, Ontario has some highly desirable cottage listings available for a snow-covered excursion. Whether it’s a private Scandinavian tiny home, a liftside lodge, or a vintage A-frame cottage, there’s something for everyone this time of year.
Scandinavian-Inspired Tiny Home Experience
This tiny home offers big-time relaxation in this remote Nordic-inspired getaway. It’s like your own mini spa retreat, complete with a hot tub, sauna, and outdoor plunge pool and lounge space.
While the listing accommodates up to three people, the space is ideal for two to escape into the wilderness for this Scandinavian-style spa experience.
Wilderness Lakefront A-Frame Cottage
The Kawartha Lakes are home to some of the most beautiful terrain in Ontario, and this listing gives you a front-row seat to a picturesque lake. The 1950s A-frame cottage sleeps up to eight people, and the nearby 100-year-old log cabin accommodates up to eight additional guests.
