Unique Wedding Venue - Wolf Den (Algonquin Park)

If you are a nature-loving, outdoorsy-type of couple, this might just be the perfect venue for a wedding that is both unique and very personal! Even if you aren't getting married, it's a great spot for an escape from city life :)



Located just outside the west gate to Algonquin Park along highway 60, Wolf Den Bunkhouse n' Cabins is a cozy and eco-friendly venue for an intimate wedding. They have a main cabin which houses the kitchen and dining areas..



and an upstairs loft-style lounge.. 



equipped with guitars, bongo drums, lots of books, and classic games such as crokinole and cribbage. 





Surrounding the main cabin are a series of smaller cabins ranging from fully private to big shared dorm-style rooms. They also have a lovely little sauna log cabin, and outdoor shower facilities. 







Because of the location, there are many fantastic hikes and bike trails in the summer, and snowshoeing or cross-country skiing in the winter.
What we thought was particularly great about it when we were there was the idea that all of your guests could stay together for the weekend (or even longer). We asked Ben, Wolf Den's owner/manager, a few questions about booking the venue for a wedding...

Winter Mini-Vacay :)

So, this week we spent a few days up in the always lovely Algonquin Park - no, not camping as many people asked with shrill voices and raised eyebrows, but at a great hostel just outside the west gates of the park. We saw the most amazing frozen-edged waterfall...


went for a walk around a frozen and snow-covered lake...


and spent about half an hour captivated by the details of the snowflakes falling on our scarves :)
