About this property

THE STARGAZER GEODOME: Shabby Chic & Very Private

Escape to The Stargazer Geodome, a unique glamping getaway in the heart of the scenic Almaguin Highlands.

Slow down time and rejuvenate your life at Deer Lake Wilderness Retreat. With just four sites spread out across 10 acres, each one has its own private outdoor space making it a perfect place to disconnect from the daily grind and reconnect with each other.

GETTING BACK TO THE BASICS
The Stargazer Geodome is glamping at its best. When you arrive the coziness of the geodome will welcome you in with its shabby chic decor and all you'll have to do is unpack and relax. Enjoy a drink while gazing out at the woodland view through the panoramic window, then stargaze through the skylight snuggled up in a cozy king sized bed.

ENJOY NATURE’S EMBRACE
Discover the rejuvenation that comes from forest bathing—immersing yourself in the sounds and smells of nature. Explore our forest or the many other hiking trails in the Almaguin Highlands, and from May to October your stay comes with a FREE PROVINCIAL PARK PASS to nearby Mikisew which has clean quiet beaches, great hiking trails, and a frisbee golf course. End your day mesmerized by "nature’s TV" as the flames from your campfire dance under the starry night sky.

AN OUTDOOR PLAYLAND
Nestled in the hills and lakes of cottage country, the Almaguin Highlands is a four season outdoor playland. In the warmer weather enjoy water sports, hiking, biking, horseback riding, ATVing, or take a road trip to visit our quaint villages and artisan galleries. Winter brings snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling at our doorstep and dog sledding just 30 minutes away.

MAGIC AND MAIN STREET
We are a 20-minute drive from South River where you’ll find the Crystal Caves, the biggest mineral exhibit in Canada and the most magical crystal shop you will ever set foot inside guaranteed. Then head 10 minutes down the road to Sundridge where you’ll find a quaint main street featuring a cozy cafe, shops and restaurants.

OFF-GRID ADVENTURE
The Stargazer Geodome is a unique off-grid escape and every effort is made to make it a comfortable experience for you while you savour a digital detox and spend quality time together. The solar lights and rechargeable lanterns create a magical ambiance, and the wood stove will keep you warm. The kitchenette comes fully stocked for cooking up a feast including water and a BBQ. The brand new indoor loo features a camping toilet and a pristine outhouse is just steps from your front door. There is a shared hot water shower and we have excellent cell phone reception.

PETS WELCOME
Share your glamping adventure with your fur baby for a $50 pet fee. In summer take your pooch to Mikisew Provincial Park, there you’ll find a dog beach where they can romp around and cool off.

$99 SUNDAYS
If you book the Cozy Cabin on a Friday and Saturday night, ask me how to add Sunday night for just $99.

We had a wonderful time. Everything we needed was there. The access pass to Eagle lake was also really nice. Sara the host was very responsive and answered all our questions quickly and accurately. Would definitely recommend this stay for a quiet and relaxing getaway.
