Hemlock Cabin in brief
Hemlock Cabin is a four-season waterfront bunkie in Parry Sound, on the eastern edge of Georgian Bay. It sleeps up to 4, on a queen bed and a sofa bunk, with a two-piece bathroom, an enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water, heat and air conditioning, an electric fireplace, a kitchenette and a covered porch with a BBQ. Guests share a private dock and sandy beach, with a canoe, paddles and life jackets, and a fire pit with Muskoka chairs. Downtown Parry Sound is about 7 minutes away. Pets are welcome by approval.
Small on purpose
There is a particular luxury in a room that holds exactly what you need. Hemlock Cabin is a bunkie, a cottage-country word for a little guest house, set under hemlock and pine on a quiet lake in Parry Sound. Inside, it is one bright room with a vaulted ceiling, a queen bed piled with pillows, a sofa bunk, a sitting area around an electric fireplace and a compact kitchenette. It has heat and air conditioning, so it works in January as well as July.
Guests who have stayed here, and there have been 197 of them, come back to the same few things: the bed, the quiet, the sunsets and, most of all, the outdoor shower.
So private so quiet and absolutely sold on the outdoor shower!

The porch and the shower
The covered porch is the second living room: a BBQ, an egg swing chair and a small table for coffee or a simple dinner, sheltered enough that rain becomes part of the entertainment. Cooking is easy between the BBQ and the induction cooktop. The bathroom inside is a two-piece; for showering, there is an enclosed cedar outdoor shower with hot and cold water, which is exactly as good on a cool evening as guests say.
Down at the water
A short walk brings you to the dock and a sandy beach area. A canoe, paddles and life jackets are included, and the lakeside fire pit is ringed with Muskoka chairs for an evening under the stars. The dock is seasonal, so ask us about it for your dates. The bunkie sits on the same property as a larger cottage, and the shoreline is shared with its guests.
Travelling with more people? The cottage on the same property is Hemlock Hideaway, which sleeps 7, and the two can be reserved together as Hemlock Retreat for up to 10.

What guests say
Enjoyed my nightly shower outside. The cool evening mixed with the hot shower was nice!
Brittney, September 2026The bunkie is a short walk to the beach and dock which was lovely to be able to wander down to catch the sunrise or sunset.
Melissa, June 2026Excellent relaxing spot, close to the town but feels secluded and miles away.
Ritchie, March 2026We really enjoyed the area, coffee on the porch, and preparing some simple meals with the grill and kitchenette.
