Enjoy a Unique Experience this Year - something different than your typical hotel-style vacation
We don't blame you if you've told yourself that you've had it with hotels after being forced to stay in one everywhere you go for vacation.
Even in remote areas of the world, you've likely had to stay in corporate-like hotels that mar the surroundings. This doesn't include the issues you have to deal with inside your hotel room that seem uniform in too many hotel franchises.
With those unpleasant experiences fresh in your mind, a fly-in fishing vacation with us here at Oak Lake Lodge is a major means of escape. We're one of the rare places on earth where you can enjoy a pristine natural environment without a multi-story hotel standing on the grounds.
It's unfortunate when you see a natural area with a hotel nearby and you realize that it's all about making money rather than protecting the surrounding area.
We look at protecting nature in a much different light since we know how rare the wilderness is here in Ontario, Canada. Had we sold out and allowed contractors to build resorts or hotels on this land, none of the nature around us would have survived.
Here, you can truly vacation in a place that's pure without other homes, industries, resorts, or hotels dotting the landscape. At the same time, we understand that people still want some of the amenities enjoyed in hotels.
We've mended these seemingly disparate worlds into our beautiful cottages where you'll have both A-list service and rare nature around you.
What aspects of hotel service are similar to our cottages, and which ones are very different?
Deliveries to Your Door
Much like doormen in hotels, you'll have deliveries at your door when you need something.
We're also there to deliver coffee at your door every morning without disturbing you. It's a service that's usually quite expensive in a corporate hotel.
At our lodge, we don't add unnecessary fees for these kind of services. It's all paid for through your total vacation price that never has unexpected charges.
While you'll have this delivery convenience, many of the best amenities come in what you already have available in your cottages.
Modern Amenities and Cleaning Services
Just because you're vacationing in an isolated place doesn't mean you have to live austerely.
You'll have all the modern amenities you'll find in major hotels, including excellent plumbing, bedding, and stylish furniture.
The difference between this and a corporate hotel is that we provide unique character to the design of each cottage.
Most hotels owned by corporations make every room look similar so it feels as if you're just another guest. In our cottages, you'll feel like you're in a second home thanks to furniture that's actually comfortable.
Stunning Views and Privacy
How many stunning views have you ever experienced out of a major hotel? Many hotels around the world do, yet the views aren't necessarily pristine under the surface.
Many views are only of swimming pools or of other artificial environments. Other hotels or resorts provide stunning views of the ocean or mountains (for a significant price), but don't always allow privacy on balconies.
Here at our cottages, you have an amazing view of Oak Lake without even having to step outside.
Our panoramic windows in your living room allow you to kick back in a comfortable chair and enjoy the view. You also have a private screened-in deck where you can take in the same scenery.
On our decks, you have complete privacy without concern of someone seeing you from a nearby unit or along the lake's banks.
Contact us here at Oak Lake Lodge to find out how different we are from typical hotels (or resorts) worldwide. When you stay with us, it's just you, nature, and personalized service to help you forget any past hotel experiences.
Fly-in Fishing Trips to Canada.
What is the experience of fly-in fishing at Oak Lake Lodge?
If the idea of spending time in the Great Outdoors is appealing, yet you’d rather not rough it, a fly in fishing trip at Oak Lake Lodge could be just what you need. Located a float plane away from scenic Vermilion Bay, Ontario, our resort provides warm, comfortable accommodations in a remote setting that also allows you to enjoy nature at its finest.
Living in the 21st century, our lives can move pretty fast and can become exceedingly hectic. Occasionally, it is necessary to take a break from it all and spend some time relaxing in the great outdoors. One of the best ways to enjoy all that nature has to offer is on a fishing trip. Fishing vacations can be quite relaxing as they allow one to get away from it all and find peace in the quiet and serenity of nature. If this image of tranquility is your idea of a perfect getaway, then you should consider a fly in fishing trip in Ontario, Canada. Fly-in fishing trips in Canada offer all the best aspects of a lakeside fishing trip, with the added amenities that only a secluded fishing lodge on a private lake can provide. Once you fly in, you will be disconnected from the outside world for the remainder of your trip, and will be left to enjoy time fishing, as well as enjoying recreational time with your family and/or friends. Here are just a few of the many reasons why you should consider the unique experience a fly-in fishing trip can provide.
The world can easily become a stressful place after a while, especially when it seems there's no secluded place available to find solace. If you live in a big city, it's hard to find a location where you're away from industries, crowds, or general stress. As a fix, you probably never considered a fly-in fishing vacation option as one of the few places left on earth for the ultimate in relaxation and peace. Here at Oak Lake Lodge , we cater to those who've been battered by the stresses of the world and can't find peace anywhere else. If you're one of those people, perhaps you've encountered just as much stress visiting supposed pristine tourist spots elsewhere. Places like public beaches and even pristine lakes are frequently marred by crowds during certain times of the year. In the above regard, you've perhaps had to vacation at home because you've had too many experiences of vacations being equally stressful as life. We'll change your mind about that here at Oak Lake Lodge. Let us show you some examples of how much serenity you'll experience staying in our lodge.
Our fly-in fishing vacation package here at Oak Lake Lodge is one that has more than the title suggests. While our vacations have benefits for those who want a unique fishing experience, we know not everyone along on the trip will necessarily want to fish. These are sometimes family members who only want to absorb the surroundings. Many of them frequently ask us if they'll have enough relaxing things to do while their partner is out catching amazing fish in Oak Lake. If you're soon planning to join your spouse or other family members on one of our trips, we want you to know you're still going to love the ambiance. Much of this comes in the other option of hiking in the great outdoors, plus living in one of our beautiful cottages. Our lodge is quite special compared to what you've probably experienced elsewhere. The reason is we put as much care into your living experience as we do in the boats available for the fishing excursions. We've recently written about our perfectionism in bringing convenience and safety to our boats. It's no different while staying in our cottages at the lodge. What kind of enjoyment can you expect to find at our Oak Lake Lodge? If you're not into fishing, you'll find a wonderful environment the entire time in your cottage where amenities are more than you'll expect.
When you vacation, finding access to food is always an issue, especially when you're traveling with a big family. Having many people along on your trip also means dealing with some picky eaters. When you ultimately can't find the food you want while traveling, it only makes your vacation more of a frustration than a relaxing experience. This is all the more reason why you should try our fly-in fishing vacation package here at Oak Lake Lodge. Meals are never a problem at our lodge because we prepare in advance to make your experience the best it can possibly be. You'll also appreciate our attention to something other vacation spots don't always do: Making sure you never go hungry while still making the food healthy. If the word "healthy" sounds like it shouldn't go on vacation, having a hearty meal already means eating well. You have to keep your energy level up to fully enjoy the pristine nature around you here at Oak Lake Lodge. While providing relaxation for you is our goal, you'll have the privacy of Oak Lake where all-day fishing excursions are available at your leisure. The same goes for archery hunting out in the wilderness that's untouched by excessive amounts of tourists or industries. Despite you vacationing in one of the most undisturbed natural locations on earth, being out in the great outdoors always works up an appetite. It's why we place special emphasis on creating meals we know you're going to love. This includes some of the amazing and large fish you'll catch in Oak Lake that you can enjoy as part of a shore lunch. Take a look at what kind of meals you'll experience for every meal of the day, including the ability to snack when you want to.
When you hear the term "fly-in fishing", no doubt you immediately picture thoughts of a hideaway vacation. While accurate, you've perhaps created a new definition of what a hideaway vacation is. You've possibly become overly cynical about the term because so many hideaway vacations your family visited in the past didn't live up to expectations. This was even more disappointing considering you paid a significant amount to commune with pristine nature and a promise of few tourists. In reality, there aren't any truly pristine tourist areas left in the world other than deserted islands and uninhabited jungles. Only a few places still exist on earth where you'll get some exceptions. We're fortunate to tell you that we provide exceptions here at Oak Lake Lodge thanks to long-standing stringent plans on limiting tourists. Here in Ontario, Canada, we still have some pristine natural environments left not invaded by excess tourism or industry. The land around our lodge received government approval to stay as pristine as you can get while still allowing limited visitors at a time. We only allow 32 people in every few weeks, so you're never experiencing excess tourists. You'll also find many other differences compared to other so-called hideaway vacations. Maybe you know about other secret locations where you can essentially get lost, at least in the off-season. Even if you can sometimes successfully escape crowds in those places, they don't offer the amenities we do. Let's take a look at some of those differences and why we frequently get singled out as one of the best vacation spots within Canada and the United States. We'll help you redefine what a hideaway vacation really is.
There isn't any question that food is a top concern when traveling on vacation. You've probably had more headaches over what to eat than anything else when visiting hideaway resorts, hotels, or even bed & breakfasts. What makes this all the more problematic is the kind of food you'll find in the places where you stay. If you're staying overseas, it sometimes means consuming exotic items you've never had before, which only brings elements of risk. While the above is exciting for some people, it can bring some dangers to your health. The last thing you want is food that could potentially make you sick in a foreign location where medical facilities aren't the greatest. Here at Oak Lake Lodge, we decided that food needed a strong focus on our vacation packages. We knew that when people travel to a vacation destination, they wanted food that's substantive, yet also not overly offbeat to a point where it could cause illness. Also, based on the response of our customers, we understood that most people enjoy having traditional food. Yes, traditional food gives you a sense of home, despite being served here in a remote location where pristine nature surrounds you. Let us show you the kind of traditional food you'll find for your fly-in fishing vacation. We'll show you why it's safer and even healthier than many other foods found in other tourist destinations.
When you decide to experience our fly-in fishing vacation package here at Oak Lake Lodge, you'll immediately notice the sense of peace and quiet you'll have in comparison to other vacations. We'll remind you that when you arrive here, you're a long way from any industry. This means miles and miles of natural surroundings and not the loud bustle of traffic. With our limitations of 32 people per visit, you also eliminate concern about excessive tourists. You won't find many vacation spots on earth that don't have an excess of tourists clogging streets, or even on lakes. This sense of peace might sound like we're too far away from providing outstanding amenities. Keep in mind we fly in and provide more amenities and supplies than most lodges do that exist away from civilization.
Experiencing autumn during your fly in fishing vacation here at Oak Lake Lodge is like no other nature experience available in the civilized world. Even if you already live near natural areas and love doing activities in the outdoors during the fall or winter, you probably have to experience an excessive amount of people in those places. Plus if it's a vacation spot, you probably work up a considerable appetite after excessive physical exercise. The problem with the two situations above is that being in nature with too many people already ruins any claims of the surroundings being unspoiled. At a vacation resort, it also means crowded restaurants, leaving you having to wait for food when you want food immediately. You won't find either of the above unfortunate scenarios here at Oak Lake Lodge. The nature here is truly pristine because there isn't any industry around for miles. We also have limitations on how many people we let in at a time, so getting food when you want it isn't a problem. Moreover, you'll have more food here than you can probably digest. Our meals are extremely hearty and generous in their servings. The question is how much of an appetite can you generate while visiting us? When you have cooler weather, invigorating fishing, and hunting all together, you can probably get as hungry as the black bears and moose are when they forage for food this fall.
You've probably heard of that term "vacation from the vacation" more than once and maybe only thought of it as facetious.
We are a fly-in fishing lodge located in the Canadian wilderness where you experience the best walleye fishing in Canada. We include your float plane flight from Vermilion Bay, Ontario, to our lodge as part of your fishing package.
