Without hydro and running water in the cabin, the rental is perfect for a back- to-nature experience. Please make sure you see the section 'Other things to note' prior to booking the rental. The space The cabin is completely detached from the main house close by where the owners live. It is a 700 sq ft waterfront cabin situated on the Magnetawan river on a 10 acre lot. There are 3 nice bedroom suitable for 4 people. This is a nice environment in an ‘Algonquinesque’ setting! The cabin is located at 20 minutes North from the historical town of Huntsville and 45 minutes West from the gateway of world renown Algonquin Park (Rain lake access). The rental has its own driveway (except during winter) through the trees! Guest access You will have access to the entire cabin. There are a fire pit, a large picnic table and a BBQ (May to October) just beside the cabin with privacy. There is also a nice trail along the river. Other things to note The rental has no running water and no electricity. You can still charge your cellphone with a power bar with a few sockets connected to the main house. There is one light, a cooler, a kettle in the kitchen. Dishes, pots and cutlery are provided. If you don't want to make the dishes, please bring disposable dishes. You need to bring your drinkable water and some water for common uses when the river is not accessible like during winter time. The place is for quiet group only. There is a fire pit that can be used for bonfires or outdoor cooking. Please be sure to extinguish all fires after use. There are outdoor facilities (outhouse) and indoor facilities during winter (a small portable camping toilet in the bathroom). An inside shower stall is available; you need to heat some water first (on the BBQ's burner from May to October or on the wood stove) prior to your shower and you can bring a camping shower bag or make a simple sprinkler with a plastic bottle. We accept 1 medium or large size dog or 2 small size dogs and a pet fee is requested. Firewood burned in a wood stove is the only heat source in the cabin so you need to be a pro to keep up with the wood stove especially when it is very cold outside. The place can be extremely cold when you arrive in January and February. Keep in mind that it could take several hours to warm up the whole place. Bring clean warm indoor shoes, warm clothes and blankets to keep you warm. Please note that if there are some extreme weather conditions during winter we can reschedule your stay. Keep in mind as well that if the temperature is below -15 Celsius the cabin might not reach a comfortable temperature and will not remain warm very long so we advise that you reschedule your stay. Firewood is available on site only for the wood stove during the heating season (20 logs is included per booking). You must have snow tires on your vehicle if you come during winter time. Hearing hunting is possible.
