Inspired by Scandinavian design, our main living area blends minimalist elegance with cozy warmth, making it the ideal setting for a romantic retreat or a family gathering. Huge panoramic windows flood the space with natural light, highlighting the impressive 20-foot cathedral ceiling and its natural cedar siding. Guests can unwind by the crackling wood-burning fireplace or enjoy modern entertainment with the included flat-screen TV, stereo system, and Xbox console.




Disconnect in a private sanctuary defined by heat, water, and the forest. Begin in the authentic sauna, casting water on the stones to release a deep, restorative löyly.
Transition from the steam to your outdoor hot tub. Submerge in the warming waters, surrounded only by the stillness of nature. The experience concludes under an expansive rain shower built for two, mimicking a natural downpour. This is a deliberate retreat—a space to reset and reconnect with the elements.

There is a primal comfort found only in a wood-burning fire. As the winter cold deepens outside, the hearth becomes the focal point for restoration. It provides more than physical heat; the rhythmic crackle and shifting amber light invite a profound mental stillness.
This is an ancient ritual—a mesmerizing display that quiets the mind and slows the pulse. Disconnect from digital noise and tune into the raw frequency of burning timber. Here, tending the fire becomes a meditation, grounding you in the present moment while the elements remain at a distance.

Tall Cedars Hideaway is surrounded by the forests, lakes and outdoor experiences of the South Whiteshell area. Whether visiting in summer or winter, guests can enjoy an active day outdoors and return to the private sauna, year-round hot tub and wood-burning fireplace.
