Our Story
Tucked away in the peaceful community of Old Barns, Colchester County—just three kilometers south of Highway 236—Irwin Lake Chalets offers a timeless escape into nature. Our cedar log chalets sit on historic land, first mapped in 1788. For over two centuries, this forested area has been cherished for its rich natural beauty and deep roots, once home to Acadian settlers and later the New England Planters.
Since opening in 2001, Irwin Lake Chalets has welcomed guests seeking tranquility, connection, and the quiet magic of the outdoors. What began as a simple lakeside retreat has grown into a beloved destination for those looking to unwind, recharge, and reconnect with nature.
