Self-Catering Cabin Rentals

What is a Self-Catering Cabin Rental or "Housekeeping" Cottage? If this is your first time staying in a housekeeping cottage—welcome! Unlike a traditional hotel, a housekeeping cottage is a self-catering experience. This means that while we provide the beautiful space and the tools you need, guests are responsible for keeping the cottage tidy during their stay and leaving it "broom clean" upon departure. This tradition helps us keep our rates affordable and maintains that authentic "cottage" feeling for everyone.

At Bailey’s, we embrace the simple life! Located just 5 minutes from downtown Madoc and the Hidden Goldmine Bakery, our lakeside retreat is the ideal Central Hastings home base. Our cottages offer a true, unplugged getaway with just the right touch of convenience:

Power, Comfort & Convenience: Your cabin is equipped with electricity, so you can keep your devices charged and enjoy cozy lighting in the evenings. Perfect for charging your phone to capture that prize-winning catch after a day of fishing on Moira Lake! On-site boat rentals and docking also available - pre-booking required :) 

The Bathhouse: A great alternative to Ontario Provincial Park camping, our central comfort station offers hot showers and flush toilets without the crowded campgrounds.

Potable Well Water: For cooking and dishes, a fresh-water well is located nearby. A quick stroll to the pump provides all the water you’ll need for the cabin.

What to Bring: To keep things simple and rustic, we provide high-quality mattress protectors on all beds. We ask that you bring:

Bedding & Pillows (Linen rentals available)

Towels for the beach and bathhouse

Fishing Gear for Moira Lake's trophy Muskie

Coolers for extra ice (available nearby in Madoc)

Forgot something? With advance notice, we’re happy to provide a full linen set (sheets, blankets, and pillows) for one bedroom for a $25 fee, payable upon arrival.

It’s all part of the classic cottage tradition—slowing down and enjoying the great outdoors!
