About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for scenic views
Elmhirst’s Resort is an all season, cottage resort and conference facility. It offers a spa, excellent dining and a host of activities for the whole family. Our collection of cottages is nestled on the pretty shore of Rice Lake. It is managed by a fifth generation of Elmhirst family and continues to offer the very best of the Kawarthas — much of it grown here, raised here or sourced from our very own 240-acre property.

This property is the cornerstone of the Elmhirst’s Resort experience, and we’re committed to preserving it. Toward that end, we pride ourselves on environmental sustainability. In every aspect of our operation, we strive to use resources respectfully, and are always looking for new ways to ensure the land’s continued majesty.

    It was a very quiet snowy morning at the resort. The chef was our server. Service was excellent and the food was delicious, local, and top quality. Highly recommend Elmhirst!

    First time back in 5 years and just as lovely even during the slow season and on a slightly smaller scale. Elmhirst’s in house beef sausages and brisket are excellent and all the side dishes were up to par. Best bacon I have had in my life. Their pastries are also great. Most buffets buy stuff from Costco and put it out. Not here! Can’t wait to go back in the summer and enjoy some stuff from their gardens.

    We had a fabulous luncheon in the Hearthside dining room overlooking Rice Lake on a beautiful and sunny cold winter day. Brandon our server was attentive and acknowledged our anniversary. Highly recommend you give it a try.

    Discovered a new dining experience that will become a staple in our preferred restaurants. The ambience especially during this holiday season is warm and inviting; the food is exquisite and you have to try the specialty cocktails alcoholic and non. The view over the lake is serene and peaceful and really highlights Rice Lake. Jill, thanks for your great service and good humour.
