Ecofiest Yurts
Yurt-style stays near quiet Shadow Lake
About this stay
Ecofiest Yurts stands apart from Kawartha Lakes' usual hotel and cottage formats with its yurt-style units, seven minutes by taxi from Shadow Lake and close to The Riverside Inn for dinner. Some units include a kitchen, useful for travellers wanting to cook rather than rely on nearby restaurants. The smoke-free, kid-friendly listing suggests a family-appropriate setting, though the yurt format itself will suit travellers looking for something different over a standard cabin or hotel room. At roughly two hours nine minutes from the airport, this is among the further-out properties in the destination, reinforcing it as a stay built around the experience itself rather than convenience, and travellers should plan the rest of the trip with that distance in mind.

Our take
This suits travellers specifically curious about a yurt-style stay near Shadow Lake's quieter water, rather than those wanting a standard hotel room or a full-amenity resort. The kid-friendly listing makes it workable for families, though the format itself is a departure from a typical cottage and worth confirming expectations on before booking a longer stay.
- ✓Ask directly which units include a kitchen, only some are listed as having one.
- ✓Book The Riverside Inn for dinner in advance, it sits about three minutes away and is a smaller property.
- ✓Set expectations for a yurt-style stay rather than a standard hotel room before arrival.

Why guests love itSleeping in a yurt is the draw of Ecofiest Yurts, and children usually find the format more memorable than a standard cottage. Some units have a kitchen, the setting is kid-friendly and smoke-free, and Shadow Lake is seven minutes away by taxi for a day by the water. It holds 9.0 from 28 reviews. I would choose it for a family wanting a distinctive, eco-minded stay and comfortable with simpler facilities.
