"All creatures great and small. A truly enchanting experience."
We feel the Lodge property really belongs to the flora and fauna of Algonquin Park – we are just priveleged to use it for 6 months, and then withdraw with a prayer of gratitude. This is their home and they are generous enough to share it with us for part of the year. All of us working at the Lodge along with our guests take great comfort in the quiet yet powerful connection with this ancient landscape.
"To be one with nature… we forget and think we are all there is."
All of us at Killarney Lodge feel blessed to be located in some of North America’s most pristine and beautiful wilderness. We do our utmost to honour this privilege by being responsible stewards of the land, water and air surrounding us. We continue finding ways to make our footprint lighter and smaller. Our guests join us in keeping both Lodge and Park secure for generations of future visitors to enjoy.
"We've really enjoyed our stay here and appreciate all that has been done to make this a wonderful place.”
The Killarney Lodge grounds are being entirely re-planted with native species to better blend with our wilderness surroundings.
Our community commitment extends to giving gently used bath and bed linens to Chrysalis, the local women’s shelter.
