Welcome to The Pines Cottage Resort

A charming family-run retreat nestled along the serene shores of Oxtongue Lake in the picturesque Algonquin Highlands. Just a stone’s throw from the world-famous Algonquin Provincial Park, The Pines offers the perfect getaway for outdoor lovers and those seeking a peaceful escape from the bustle of everyday life.

Purchased by Kim and Marilyn Smith in the spring of 2008, The Pines Cottage Resort is part of the Smith family legacy in the region, which includes the beloved Camp Tanamakoon, an all-girls summer camp, and the iconic Bartlett Lodge in the heart of Algonquin Park. With their extensive experience and deep ties to the area, you can trust that The Pines upholds the same high standards of hospitality and authenticity that have made their other ventures cherished by many.

At The Pines, we are dedicated to offering our guests the true Canadian cottage experience. Whether you’re unwinding on the beach, enjoying a refreshing swim, exploring nearby trails, canoeing on the lake, or indulging in a delicious meal before gathering around a cozy campfire under a starlit sky, there’s something here for everyone.

One of the most rewarding aspects of The Pines is the incredible sense of community we’ve built over the years. Many of our guests return year after year, and it’s a privilege to see new friendships form and families grow through the shared experiences here. Watching generations of families continue the cottage tradition is truly heartwarming, and it brings us immense joy to hear that so many of our guests feel like they are “coming home” when they pull into our driveway.

We can’t wait to welcome you to The Pines Cottage Resort and help you create new memories that will last a lifetime. Start your own tradition with us – we’re waiting for you!
