WELCOME! BIENVENUE!
The Wolf Den Nature Retreat is a beautiful log cabin lodge situated on the Oxtongue River in the Algonquin Highlands, just a few minutes paddle from Oxtongue Lake. We are located just 9km outside the West Gate of Ontario’s world famous Algonquin Park. Each year we welcome hikers, photographers, and nature enthusiasts of all experience levels who want to foster their personal connection with nature and enjoy meeting other people from around the globe. We would be delighted to host you during your visit to this extraordinary corner of our world.
The Hostel
The hostel – The Main Lodge is open! A haven for hikers and nature lovers to connect with each other in communal spaces – Sleep in a private bunkie or private hostel cabin with an option to use the main lodge facilities or screened in outdoor kitchen (3 seasons) for meal prep and dining.
Independent Cabins
Our independent cabins remain the peaceful, private getaway they’ve been for the past five years. Our sanitizing regime and no-contact check-in / check-out policies remain as they have been since COVID began (we are always close by to say hello and go through all your local trail tips!).
Your Role at the Wolf Den
Our adapted procedures including check-in and check-out instructions, community rules form gatherings, the use of shared facilities, our “leave no trace” policy in cooking areas, and quiet times (SPOILER ALERT: it’s 10:30pm!) are conditions you will be required to agree to before completing your booking. And never fear, in case you forget these details a lovely reminder will be sent before your arrival. Thank you so much for your support.
