Welcome to Inspire

A small lakefront resort on six acres of Shadow Lake.

Inspire sits on a quiet stretch of shoreline in Coboconk, where the Trent-Severn Waterway opens into the Kawartha Lakes. Three cabins, each with its own private hot tub and fireplace, and dock access on the lake. Days here run slower than you planned for. Open year-round.

Stay

Three cabins,
three moods.

The Beach for couples on the water. The Vintage Hollywood for friends and family who like a little drama. The Rustic Lodge for the classic cottage feel. Each comes with a private hot tub on its own deck.

Explore the cabins

Experience

Four seasons
of cottage country.

Two kayaks, a canoe, two stand-up paddleboards, private hot tubs, fire pits, and snowshoe trails. The lake changes character every two months, and so does the way you spend a weekend here.

The Cabins

Three places to land. One lake.

Each cabin sits on its own footprint, with its own view and its own angle on the morning light. They share a dock, a fire pit, and the same stretch of shoreline. Every cabin has a private hot tub on its own deck.

Cabin 01

The Beach.

Closest to the water. Nautical-themed, with a private hot tub on the deck, a cozy fireplace inside, and queen beds with luxury linens. Designed for couples who came here to do almost nothing.

Ways to gather

More than a place to sleep.

Book a cabin for two, or take the whole resort. We host retreats, weddings, and private gatherings on the water, one group at a time.

The Land

A four-season resort, two hours from the city.

We're a 15-minute drive from Balsam Lake Provincial Park and walking distance from Coboconk's main street. Summer means dock days. Winter brings the snowshoes out, and the hot tubs run year-round.

From the Founder

"We bought the property to give people what we'd been chasing for years. A place where a weekend actually feels like one."
