Like all Algonquin Park Lakes, peace and quiet abounds on Cache Lake. The magic begins the moment you step aboard the boat that takes you across the lake to Bartlett Lodge, an Ontario resort rich in Algonquin Park history. As the boat leaves Cache Lake Landing, you will be entering another world - a world where tranquility and nature blend with comfort and luxury. With only 38 resort guests, Bartlett Lodge can extend to their guests the same level of personal service and attention to detail found at the finest Muskoka resorts. Tastefully decorated with comfort in mind, our lakefront cottages are well appointed with many thoughtful items such as a coffee maker, bar fridge, and even their own canoe. In keeping with our goal to make your Algonquin Park vacation as restful and relaxing as possible, you will not find telephones or televisions in any of our Algonquin Park cabins.

In the morning, a deluxe breakfast is served in the main lodge dining room.

Located between Georgian Bay and the Ottawa River in central Ontario, Algonquin Provincial Park covers approximately 7630 square kilometres of forest, lakes, and rivers. Significant for its role in Canada's natural and cultural heritage, Algonquin Park is also an important biological and environmental research centre. Home to thousands of different plant and animal species, Algonquin's wide variety of natural habitat provides a safe refuge for wildlife and a wonderful opportunity for naturalists, photographers and bird watchers. When it was established in 1893, Canada's first provincial park was visited by mostly by a few adventurous campers and fishermen. After regular train service was established, many more park visitors made the journey, to camp or to stay at one of several Algonquin Park hotels that were built to accommodate the influx of tourists. The Park's most famous early visitors were artist Tom Thomson and The Group of Seven, who ventured far into the Park to painting their famous Algonquin Park landscapes. Today, although most visitors to Algonquin Park arrive by car, the Park looks much as it did one hundred years ago. Visitors to this designated Canadian Historical Site are invited to tour the Algonquin Visitors Centre, the Algonquin Logging Museums and the Algonquin Art Centre, as well hike or bike along its many marked trails.
