Oakview Lodge and Marina — Waterfront Resort For Sale, Little Hawk Lake
Oakview Lodge & Marina sits on the shores of Little Hawk Lake in Algonquin Highlands, Haliburton County — one of Ontario's most established four-season recreational destinations. The property has operated as a lodge, marina, and vacation rental for years, and more recently as a successful co-living venture, demonstrating the kind of operational flexibility that serious hospitality buyers look for. The main lodge encompasses over 8,300 square feet of usable space, including six ensuite guest accommodations, a self-contained three-bedroom owner's residence, commercial-style kitchen amenities, multiple guest gathering areas, dining facilities, and screened outdoor entertainment areas. There is real infrastructure here — not a restoration project.
The marina is the operational core of the property's commercial value. With approximately 60 boat slips serving a large number of nearby water-access cottages, it generates docking, parking, boat storage, and marine service revenue independent of lodge occupancy. Recent capital investment has included replacement finger docks, main dock improvements, a swim dock, and concrete crib work — the kind of infrastructure expense that's already behind the next owner. A fully self-contained four-season guest cottage provides additional rental income, staff housing, or owner use flexibility, while a detached insulated garage with loft rounds out the operational footprint.
Significant capital improvements have been completed throughout the property: a new commercial-grade water filtration system, a new main electrical panel, Starlink high-speed internet, a standby generator system, updated mechanical equipment, structural reinforcements, refreshed guest suites, and extensive interior modernization. C3 Recreational Commercial zoning supports a wide range of uses — lodge, marina, vacation rental, co-living, retreat, or conference-focused repositioning. Year-round road access and direct OFSC B Trail snowmobile access position the property for genuine four-season revenue.
Little Hawk Lake sits in Algonquin Highlands Township, roughly two hours northeast of Toronto via Highway 35/115. The lake supports a mix of recreational cottagers and water-access properties, which is precisely why the marina carries consistent demand — it's not dependent on lodge occupancy alone. Haliburton County draws a year-round tourism market: boating, fishing, paddling, and cycling in summer and shoulder seasons; snowmobiling and ice fishing in winter, with OFSC trail access directly on the property. The area's recreational profile and proximity to the GTA make it one of Ontario's more reliable hospitality real estate markets.
The marina is a commercial asset in its own right. With approximately 60 boat slips serving water-access cottages on Little Hawk Lake, it produces revenue from seasonal docking, parking, boat storage, and marine-related services that is largely independent of lodge occupancy rates. Recent infrastructure investment positions this as a maintained operation, not a capital project waiting to happen.
Oakview Lodge & Marina is located at 2029 Little Hawk Lake Road, Algonquin Highlands, Ontario, K0M 1S0. Year-round road access means no seasonal service disruptions, and direct OFSC B Trail access brings snowmobile traffic directly to the property during winter months.
