I used to live in a town called Penetanguishene, Ontario. This is about 1 hour and 45 minutes away from toronto. There; There is a beautiful, easy going, campground called Awenda Provincial Park. It’s a great place to go camping by yourself. The link below is where it is on google maps.
Also, if you want an even more beautiful place, thats away from everything, (if you have your own boat or canoe, or willing to rent one) there is an amazing place to camp called Massasauga Provincial Park. It’s about an hour north of Penetanguishene The most amazing times I have ever gone camping were here. The link below is where it is on google maps.
If you are looking for something that is a bit more outdoorsy than a ‘private lodge’, then may I suggest a yurt? These are wooden huts, usually designed for six or eight and with a stove, perfectly suited to winter camping. There are yurts at Mew Lake campground in Algonquin Park, The Pinery on Lake Huron, and Killarney – all several hours from Toronto.
All of these places have real winter camping as well.
I think you have already googled, but maybe this site can help you:

However the site looks really weird, but I think to get some information it is okay.
I have a recollection of taking a trip (some decades ago) between the Niagara Falls and Toronto, and seeing a number of farms along the way. In your shoes, I might take that route during the fall, and talk to some farmers, and see what they have to say about lodges.
If all else fails, I’d think about spending the vacation in someone’s farmhouse or barn. Maybe you’d end up “housesitting” for someone who wants to head south, or trade places with you for an urban setting.
