The team made sure this Christmas holiday was truly special: our cook Sage prepared delicious and healthy meals, Laramie taught us nordic skiing and took us on the frozen lake for beautiful hikes, Mauricio taught us how to walk with snowshoes so we could take walks in the snow in the forest, and was also our wildlife guide. Team, thank you for the wonderful memories we’ll cherish for a long time.

It means that our cabin is not hooked up to the “grid” in terms of electricity. We do have solar power for lights and running water.
There are two indoor bathrooms for the guests to use in the Log Cabin with flushing toilets. All of the water in the building comes from our well and is filtered for drinking before reaching the faucet.
There is a shower in the shower/sauna house which has been fitted with an electric pump on solar power to increase the water pressure. The shower in the shower/sauna house is available any time, day or night.
No. We do have a satellite phone and Wi-Fi for emergencies.
We have limited solar power for lights and water pressure.
Yes you can drive right to the Log Cabin and the roads are plowed and are considered “snow roads”. Snow roads mean they are plowed into packed down snow which you are able to drive on! Snow tires are recommended.
Voyageur Quest’s guides are skilled outdoor professionals who ensure your trip is an adventure of a lifetime. On top of being well-versed in the natural and cultural history of Algonquin Park, our guides are warm, personable, and service-oriented. Most are graduates of post-secondary programs related to outdoor adventure and all possess industry certification in wilderness first aid.
You only need to bring your personal items: clothing, toiletries, and cameras. A complete list of what to bring will be emailed to you after booking. We are BYOB.
Up to 14 guests; the Pinecroft, our second cabin steps away, may also be used. Three staff members look after you. Our guests range in age and nationality. We do our best to sort our guests into like-demographics (i.e., families together; adults together). It’s not unusual for guests to be trading emails at the end of their trips – it’s easy to make friends when you’re having so much fun!
You do not require any prior experience. We host a range of guests from first-timers to grizzled outdoors people every week. Our pace is relaxed and the objective is to have fun, slow down, and leave plenty of time to explore the beauty of the Algonquin area.
You should be able to be active for up to two hours (walking pace) at a time. While travelling in the backcountry, we make frequent stops for snacks, hydration, toilet, and to admire the gorgeous views!
We provide fresh and mostly whole-food meals that are prepared with care and skill. Whether you are in the backcountry or in our Algonquin Log Cabin, you will be served appetizers, main courses, and desserts. Our guests are consistently impressed with our elevated cuisine. Please explain in detail any special dietary needs or allergies you might have during your booking. Kid-friendly foods are added to Family Trips.
We are happy to accommodate dietary requirements. For more specialty diets such as dairy-free, vegan or gluten-free there is an additional charge. Please be sure to describe your requirement in detail when making your booking. For severe allergies, it is recommended that you bring 2 EpiPens with you.
Absolutely! (and enjoy responsibly!)
Bring whatever you wish. Best advice is to bring a bag of ice with you as well. Remember: we are off-grid – that means no fridge! We can provide you with a cooler to use for your stay.
