Warbler’s Roost is on a 14-acre property located at 3785D Eagle Lake Rd 20 minutes west of South River, ON, Canada and 35 minutes west of the north entrance to Algonquin Park. WARBLER’S ROOST CURRENT OFFERINGS
Warbler’s Roost currently includes a Country Inn which offers six rooms available for daily or weekly rentals with a continental breakfast set out in a large dining room and many common area
s including a large events space overlooking Deer Lake. The waterfront is just a four minute walk down the road on the property. The six bedrooms share a powder room and two full bathrooms as well as a kitchen and many common areas. The property also has a large open area next to the Inn (approx 50’ x 50’) as well as an even larger cleared area down near the waterfront (approx 200’ x 400’) that can be booked for large outdoor gatherings. The 230 feet of waterfront includes a long dock and kayaks and canoes for our guests. VISION FOR WARBLER’S ROOST
The proprietors are Darren Copeland and Nadene Thériault-Copeland who live on the property. Their vision for Warbler’s Roost includes an opportunity for families, artists, sports enthusiasts and those just looking for a weekend away from the city, to enjoy the quiet countryside without sacrificing the comforts of home. Warblers Roost is more than a place to stay. Darren and Nadene see the property as being a home for creative inspiration and sharing. ARTIST RESIDENCIES
Residencies for artists of any discipline are welcome and available year-round with seasonal discounted weekly artist rates. Each room is equipped with a desk/chair and table as well as a queen sized bed. At this time we do not have any studio facilities. For sound artists and recordists the soundscape is rich with wildlife and free of highway noise. For visual artists there is the beauty of the Muskoka region without the urban light pollution. At the conclusion of an artist’s stay we would welcome the chance to offer a showing, presentation or talk in order to share an artist’s work with our local community.
