Escape to Nature
Where the Lake Feels Like Home
Thoughtfully designed lakefront retreats where modern comfort meets the quiet beauty of Ontario cottage country.
A Different Kind of Cottage Escape
NorthHaus Retreats is a collection of thoughtfully designed Ontario escapes created for the moments that matter most.
Inspired by Scandinavian simplicity and the natural beauty of cottage country, our retreats bring together warm, comfortable spaces and unforgettable settings — places to slow down, reconnect and enjoy life at a different pace.
Our first retreat, LakeHaus40, sits along the peaceful shores near Bancroft, Ontario. From mornings on the dock and afternoons on the lake to fireside evenings under the stars, every stay is an invitation to settle in, switch off and make memories together.

OUR STORY
More Than a Place to Stay
NorthHaus Retreats began with a simple idea: create the kind of cottage escape we would want to experience ourselves — peaceful, comfortable, thoughtfully prepared and surrounded by nature.
That idea came to life with LakeHaus40, our first lakefront retreat near Bancroft, Ontario. We’ve brought together the things we love most about cottage country with thoughtful modern comforts, creating a place where families, couples and friends can slow down, reconnect and simply enjoy being together.
LakeHaus40 is only the beginning. As NorthHaus grows, our purpose will remain the same: thoughtful stays, beautiful settings and hospitality that feels personal.

“The cottage was exactly what our family needed. The kids spent most of the day by the lake while we relaxed on the dock. Evenings around the fire were probably our favourite part.”Stephanie — Toronto, ON
★★★★★
“We had one rainy afternoon and honestly didn’t mind at all. We stayed in, played games, watched a movie and enjoyed the cottage. When the weather cleared, we were right back outside by the lake.”Joshua & karen – Kingston, ON
