Tranquil Off-Grid Oasis

Tucked away on the edge of the world-famous Bruce Trail, the cabin offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding wilderness. With its rustic charm and cozy ambiance, it's the perfect getaway for outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, and nature lovers seeking tranquility.

The cabin's off-grid design ensures a true wilderness experience.

The Space:
Only about an hour drive from the GTA and nestled in a secluded corner of wilderness in the Niagara Escarpment, part of the UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves, this cabin promises an unforgettable experience of self-sufficiency and peaceful living.

The cabin is equipped with a 2200-watt Jackey Power Station, providing ample electricity for your essential needs. Rechargeable lamps and flashlights are also provided. Portable solar panels and/or a gas generator are available upon request for extended stays to keep you powered up.

Water:
To further enhance your connection with nature and provide a genuine off-grid lifestyle, we have installed a traditional hand-operated well pump.
The manual well pump is a time-honored device that allows you to draw water directly from the earth, providing you with a truly authentic and immersive experience. Using a handle and a manual pumping mechanism, you can access fresh, cold water from the depths of the underground aquifer.

Heat:
Please be advised there is presently no heat source available. This means it may be cold at night depending on the outdoor temperatures. For this reason, the property is only available seasonally from May 1st until the end of October.

The space is thoughtfully furnished with comfortable seating and natural décor, inviting you to unwind and immerse yourself in the tranquility of the surroundings.

Additionally, a solar shower allows you to cleanse under the open sky, surrounded by the sounds of rustling leaves and chirping birds or alternatively use the solar shower indoors once it is heated for privacy.

The property is blessed with an abundance of wildlife, providing an enchanting experience like no other.

You'll find native milkweed and nectar-rich flowers growing throughout the field, providing essential resources for the endangered monarch butterfly during their breeding and migration cycles. It's a great spot to observe these beautiful butterflies and other pollinators.

As the sun sets, get ready to witness a mesmerizing spectacle of fireflies illuminating the night sky. These tiny creatures create a magical ambiance, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring the surrounding wilderness. (seasonal in the summer)
