The Resort With A Difference

A Different World
It's a different world up here.  At Killarney Mountain Lodge we're blessed with a spectacular environment that provides multiple opportunities for unique adventures and exciting diversions.  You'll be convinced after our Adventure Guides have squired you around our fabulous wilderness waterways, into the breathtaking lake and forest back country, and served up a luscious fish fry on the remote shores.  Or, skippered you rail down and hard on the wind aboard our 46’ ocean-going sloop...  in the moonlight, maybe.

Flair and Conversion

In house” it's different too.  Meals that taste like Grandma's but with a soupçon of spicy flair.  Steaks and ribs and all the usual stuff plus fresh local fish and salads to die for.  Millie, our chef, is a specialist with things vegetarian – come and get converted!

You won't believe this, but it's true – you can be as lazy as you like in the morning because breakfast is served till noon– breakfasts that are the ultimate in dining decadence.  Eggs Benedict?  Yours for the asking.  Wild blueberry pancakes?  Cooked to order.  Robust coffee? It comes in a decanter.

Sun Devils and Warblers

If you're a pool side potato and the sun flashing off the surface of our crystal clear pool disturbs your reveries, we apologize; nobody's perfect.  Nor can we subdue the click of snooker balls and shuffleboard cues that sometimes echo from our giant Recreation Hall.  But hey, the warblers are noisier than that.

Wilderness Contemporary

How do we sleep thee?  On the latest high-tech mattresses – doubles, kings and queens; in our snug bed-sitting rooms and charming individual cabins.  Brand new we're not.  But up-graded and renovated we are.  With a je ne sais quoie ambiance that reflects our northern remove.

There's a private bathroom in every room of course.  Electric baseboard heating and comfy duvets take care of chilly nights in the off-season.  Cool temperatures most summer nights practically guarantee a good snooze.  It’s called air conditioning au naturel.

    A Fine Romance

    What is this about north Georgian Bay?  Down south, at the other end of the Bay, are thousands of islands to be sure. And just about as many cottages – and boats – and what they call “personal water craft” – and people galore – and resorts that simply can't do what we do up here at the north end.  The wilderness end.  Where most of the territory has been set aside by the government as park and conservation area. 

    Georgian Bay Mystique
    Where they're preserving the pristine quality of
    The Bay” so you can come here and envelope yourself in the wonder of it all – by canoe or kayak, on foot or aboard our blue water power boats.
    We like to think of all this as the “mystique” of Georgian Bay .  And here on the north shore we're the primary purveyor of this exciting romance.

    Brags To Go

    OSA Lake in Killarney Provincial Park
    Hikers beware! Sample the Chikanishing Trail or see the high country from “The Crack” and you'll be beguiled by the splendor of our Killarney country – forever.  Here, “take a hike” has a special meaning.  Sooner or later it will lead you to the ultimate challenge – a day long excursion to Silver Peak, the highest point in the La Cloche range.  To the top, that is, after a portage and a paddle to the trail head.  Our Adventure Guides will lead the way and tote the grub.  You'll follow with your camera and a water bottle.  Afterwards, the bragging rights are yours alone.

    The Canoe and You

    Canoeing in the Park
    We've introduced thousands of folks to the pleasures of the canoe and the kayak and the opportunity they provide to explore the interior lakes of Killarney Provincial Park and the wilderness shores of Georgian Bay .  These excursions are a regular event, led of course by our expert Adventure Guides.  We'll take you to Ontario's most beautiful lake in the heart of the Park and treat you to a tempting buffet lunch on the rocks.  The white quartzite ones, of course.  Or, down the Bay by kayak to a lonely archipelago of pink granite islands and pristine backwaters.

    Like to swim in hidden lakes, in water so clear and pure it's transparent for forty feet?  Or snorkel along a magical shore, under overhanging cedars where the Small Mouth Bass try to hide?  Or experience the ethereal splendour of the silence of the Bay?  Then join our day trips or strike out on your own with the finest of rental equipment from Killarney Outfitters.

    Outpost Frolic

    Owning property in an Ontario provincial park is almost unheard of, especially a site so spectacular as our outpost camp on Johnnie Lake.  But own it we do, and our special pleasure is to transport you there for a day of water sports, a barbecue and a hike to our secret look-out.  You'll need sun-block and a swim suit, and a camera, bien sûr.  It’s all part of our regular programme.

    Bistro Secrets
    Andy Lowe

    The last thing most people expect to find in remote Adventure Country is an international cabaret star wowing the visitors in an upscale bistro.  Well come on down in July or August and be amazed.  You'll be wild about Andy who performs every night except Monday in the Carousel Lounge.  His musical style?  You name it, he can do it.   Wanna dance?  Just say the word.  Got a request?  Hum it, he'll play it.  We call him our secret weapon.




    Voyageur Redux

    There's no doubt about it.  Our wilderness park draws visitors by the thousands.  You'd never know it, however, because they seem to disappear into the outback by canoe and trail, only to surface later on refreshed and invigorated.  Those in the know frequently finish up at our cozy oasis where they're assured of a scrumptious meal and a comfortable bed.  If you're planning an expedition into the park, remember that post-safari R & R is a tradition at Killarney Mountain Lodge.

    The Reel Story

    Everywhere you go they talk about catch and release.  Great idea!  But before you can release them you've got to catch them.  We'll do everything we can to organize you so that you can start releasing, but really, the catching is up to you.  Keepers, of course, are yours for the frying pan, or possibly the deep freeze, or maybe even the taxidermist.  Many a giant northern, walleye or small mouth caught in Killarney waters adorn the dens of our fishing friends across North America.

    Flashback In Time

    Lots of famous tourist attractions are re-creations of history and, faithful as they may be, they're still re-creations.  In Killarney, genuine pioneer history confronts you at every turn – a settler's jail, ancient net sheds, derelict fishing tugs, abandoned homesteaders’ clearings, orchard remnants long forgotten.  Young and old alike can recite tales of living off the land – and sea, winter isolation, home medicine and mid-wives.  Visitors to Killarney are captivated as the charm of yesterday blends with the excitement of today.
