Both cabins sit on Georgian Bay. You walk out the door, down the granite, and you're at the water. The canoe's right there. Paddles in the shed.
They're set up the same: electricity, running water, equipped kitchen, basic furniture. No TV. No wifi. Just what you need to sleep, cook, and get back outside. A week here feels longer than a week—in a good way.
Ginger's Cabin is bigger (3 bedrooms, sunroom). Rusty's Cabin is smaller and cheaper (2 bedrooms, outdoor shower). Both work. Pick based on how many people you're bringing.

Cottages & Cabins Near Killarney Provincial Park
Our two waterfront cabins sit within Shebanoning Lodge property on Pine Island Channel, giving you quick access to the George Lake entrance of Killarney Provincial Park while keeping the bustle of town at bay. Guests looking for cabin rentals in Killarney, Ontario appreciate having canoes and views of the white quartzite ridge without sharing common walls or crowded resort paths.
Each cabin includes electricity, a fully outfitted kitchen, and the comforts you need for a weeklong stay. Because rentals run Saturday to Saturday, you can unpack once and explore Georgian Bay at your own pace. Hike The Crack, explore the shoreline, then return to your sunroom or deck to watch the stars.
Deciding between Ginger's and Rusty's comes down to group size and how you'll use the space. Families or two couples often choose Ginger's for the extra bedroom and sunroom. Anglers and small groups like Rusty's layout and the big deck. Both cabins come with a canoe, adult life jackets, and access to the granite shoreline.

The bigger cabin. Three bedrooms means the kids are down the hall, not three feet away. Parents get a door that closes. Everyone still eats breakfast together.
The sunroom is the best room in the place. Morning coffee while listening to the water. Evening cards when it's too dark to be on the water. You'll hear the loons from inside.
Kitchen has a full stove, fridge, and enough cookware to make real meals. Propane BBQ out the back door for the fish you caught.
Works Well For
- Families where kids need their own room down the hall
- Two couples splitting the cost

What’s included with each cabin?
Electricity, fully equipped kitchens, bedding essentials (pillows and comforters), indoor washrooms, an outdoor shower at Rusty’s, and a canoe with adult life jackets. Bring linens, towels, and children’s PFDs to suit your family.
Is tap water drinkable?
Water is pulled from the bay and filtered three times. Most guests are comfortable using it, but you are welcome to bring your own large water jugs or bottles if you prefer.
How do I choose between Ginger's and Rusty's?
Start with your group size. Ginger's handles up to six people with three bedrooms, while Rusty's is ideal for four guests and features a generous deck. Review the "Best For" notes above or contact us with your priorities, and we'll point you toward the right fit.
Are these cabins or cottages?
Both terms work. We call them cabins because they're simple and rustic, but they're fully equipped vacation rentals that many guests call cottages. Whether you're searching for Killarney cottage rentals or cabin rentals, our waterfront properties offer the same experience: private accommodations with canoe, kitchen, and Georgian Bay views.
