About us

 

Set on 165 acres, including prime waterfront on Ontario Canada's famous Stoney Lake, The Irwin property is graced with breathtaking, unparalleled views of the lake, islands, rugged landscapes, and spectacular sunsets.

With approximately 1100 islands, hauntingly beautiful Stoney Lake is natural, rugged beauty to perfection at the edge of The Canadian Shield. 


FROM RESORT TO COTTAGE RETREAT


Located on Stoney Lake's majestic south shore,  this exceptional lakefront property  historically  known as The Irwin Inn,  has transitioned from a busy resort to a cottage retreat, The Irwin Cottage! 


Owned and operated by the Irwin family since 1947,  we have a long, and continuing history of hospitality!


At The Irwin Cottage, our unique lakeside accommodation,  we are currently offering three private lakefront suites for individual or group rental at the site of former Irwin Inn,  an award winning,  year round resort.

This transformation still provides the opportunity to  experience Stoney Lake and  all it has to offer, with the  unprecedented luxury of literally being steps from the lake, backing to majestic trees, parkland, fields and woods. 


With this expansive private setting on Irwin Road, our Stoney Lake location beckons you to take in the natural beauty, stunning views, sparkling water, all with a sense of serenity and relaxation!

Activities include  canoeing, kayaking, swimming, fishing, boating, hiking, x-country skiing and skating.

Our 4 km of  trails in our woods and fields are perfect for a nature hike and to visit our horses at the farm. 

Paddle boards, canoes, kayaks, water trampoline, boat cruises, campfires are here for guest use.


When planned activities are just reading a book or admiring the beauty of  Stoney Lake, relax on your private screened in porch and enjoy! 


The Irwin Cottage is only 2 hours northeast of Toronto, 2 hours northwest of Kingston, and only 30 minutes from Peterborough, 15 minutes from Lakefield, and is a short walk to The Market on Stoney for dining, takeout, ice cream shop, and a LLBO licensed general store.
