Goldenrod is a lodge-pole-framed wall tent offers the opportunity to be surrounded by the beauty of nature while still providing protection from its less comfortable elements. Like a cabin made from canvas, Goldenrod is built on a raised platform from a mix of hand-stripped aspen lodge-poles, canvas and rough-sawn lumber.

The front of the cabin features full-length bug netting which means the canvas flaps can be left-open if desired. Hyssop has solar lighting as well as a plug for charging phones and other small devices. It is a short walk to get to a shared dock, wood-fired sauna and cedar-shower. The kitchenette includes a 2-burner propane camp stove on the porch, camp cooler, dishes and cookware including a French press coffee maker, dishpan and soap, drinking water and wash water. The fire-pit also comes with a sturdy grill for fireside cooking. Filtered drinking water and wash water in 5 gallon camping jugs are included with the rental as Goldenrod does not have running water.

Goldenrod is one of thirteen rentals available at Wild Woods Hideaway, a rustic eco-resort tucked into the forest and along the shores of Mink Bay, near Kenora, Ontario. There are three additional lodge-pole wall tents located in the same hilltop meadow and the washroom is a shared building with sawdust composting toilets. In addition to cabin-specific features, your rental includes access to several shared amenities including a dock to sit on, swim and watch the sun set from, use of canoes, kayaks, and stand-up paddle-boards (life-jackets included), hiking trails, playground, wood-fired sauna ($10 firewood fee for usage) and a cedar pay-shower (loonie for 5 minutes). The head of Mink Bay has been designated a provincially significant wetland and many birds and other animals either make their homes along its shores or stop in during their seasonal migrations. Depending on the time of year you can expect to see a variety of songbirds, waterfowl including pelicans and loons, eagles, partridge, deer, rabbits, turtles and beavers. We have also seen river otters, mink, wolves, foxes, herons, owls and bears. There is also a great diversity of plant life growing along Mink Bay with an incredible array of wildflowers that change with the seasons.
