About this cabin rental
Through our partnership with Haliburton Forest, guests enjoy access to 100,000 acres of protected wilderness. Explore over 400 km of hiking and mountain biking trails from April through November, or use your complimentary snowmobile pass to ride professionally groomed trails all winter long.
BE AWARE
This cabin shares the lake with our Penner cabin across the lake. You may see other guests on the lake and hiking trails.
This cabin has a wild shoreline. For deep & clear swimming, you’ll need to paddle to our swimming dock in the middle of the lake.
WATER
Our water is pumped from the lake. Running water is shut off when temperatures dip below freezing. This normally happens mid-October but can vary each year. When running water is shut off, we provide 40L of water for dish washing and drinking. All taps (including shower taps) are turned off. Water is turned back on before the May Long Weekend.

OFF-GRID BASICS
This eco-cabin is completely OFF-GRID. (Don’t let this scare you). Our cabin is modernized and solar powered with electricity and heat. Feel good knowing that you’re choosing a low-carbon, eco-friendly getaway. As an off-grid cabin, energy conservation is key. Drawing too much energy may cause you to lose power, so you’ll need to be mindful of your consumption during your stay. There is a back-up generator when solar power is low.
LEAVE NO TRACE
All garbage and recycling must be packed up and taken home on your departure.
