A rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey, purpose-built group retreat in one of Ontario's most sought-after cottage regions. Kawartha Adventure Resort occupies 5+ acres on East Twin Lake, directly across from West Twin Lake (public boat launch), with immediate access to thousands of acres of Crown land, lakes, and a connected network of snowmobile and ATV trails that begin on-site. The property was designed from the ground up for exclusive-use group bookings .

The building is configured for high-capacity, high-margin hospitality: 10 bespoke ensuite bedrooms (5 king, 5 twin/double-double), 15 beds total, sleeps 30 guests. Every bedroom features a private 3-piece bath, and rooms connect both internally to the great room and via exterior doors for direct access to the outdoors — a rare layout that allows guests to come and go with gear without tracking through shared space.

The heart of the property is a lake-facing common area that flows between kitchen, dining, living, and playroom zones, with a dedicated bar area. The kitchen is equipped with two full-size fridges and is designed to host private chef dining experiences. Additional on-site amenities include a yoga studio, library, ping pong, fireplaces, charcoal and propane BBQs, outdoor fire pits, a secure basement for gear and storage, on-site EV charging, and fast 55 Mbps WiFi (while cell signal remains intentionally light — a feature guests cite as a core part of the "digital detox" experience). A separate service manager's apartment at the rear of the building — with its own entrance — is currently used for on-site staff and is included in the sale.

The operating business is as turnkey as it gets in the boutique hospitality space. The Airbnb listing has held a 4.72? rating across 67 verified reviews with 100% host response rate, and the resort-level host profile carries 199 reviews over 8 years. Direct bookings are managed through a Cloudbeds PMS/channel manager, and a branded marketing website (kawarthaadventureresort.com) is included. Self check-in, established SOPs, a trained on-site service manager, and a pre-built co-host/operations team mean an incoming owner can take the keys and continue operations without interruption. Ideal profile for a passive or semi-passive owner who wants cash flow with optional upside, or an operator looking to expand into the group-accommodation niche.
Growth Opportunities:

Meaningful upside remains for a buyer willing to lean in. The property is under-monetized relative to the format — weddings, corporate offsites, wellness retreats, yoga and fitness intensives, film/location rentals, and holiday/seasonal packages are all natural fits the current operation has only lightly exploited. The on-site yoga studio, lakeview kitchen with private-chef setup, and exclusive-use model are purpose-built for premium retreat programming. Distribution can be expanded beyond Airbnb and direct booking to Vrbo, Booking.com, corporate-retreat aggregators, and wedding/venue networks. Four-season revenue is already baked in via snowmobile and ATV traffic in winter and lake/trail use in summer — with most comparable operators capturing only one or two seasons.
Location:
Havelock-Belmont-Methuen, Peterborough County — roughly 2 hours from the GTA, positioning the resort within easy drive of Canada's largest group-travel market while remaining remote enough to deliver a genuine wilderness experience. The Kawarthas are one of Ontario's premier cottage-country destinations, with strong year-round tourism and a perennially supply-constrained market for large-group accommodations.

What's Included:
Real estate (5+ acres, lakefront building, separate staff quarters), all FF&E, outdoor equipment and recreation gear, the Kawartha Adventure Resort brand and domain, Cloudbeds PMS setup, Airbnb listing and review history (subject to Airbnb transfer policy), marketing website, SOPs, and vendor relationships. Full training and transition support available
