Mullein Cabin w/ Lake Access @Wild Woods Hideaway

This cozy log cabin has a cathedral ceiling with a sleeping loft, indoor kitchenette, outdoor porch and picnic area with fire-pit. It is a 5 minute walk down to the lake and the rental includes access to a shared dock, wood-fired sauna and use of canoes, kayaks & SUPs. Guests provide pillows, season appropriate bedding & towels. On 15 acres of mixed forest along Mink Bay, this cabin is part of a eco-resort that is a wilderness getaway yet is 15 minutes from the shops and restaurants of Kenora. The space Built with timbers from a local sawmill and named after the velvet-leaved wild Mullein that grows along the rocky north shore of the lake, this cozy dove-tail log cabin sits at the bottom of a rocky moss-covered hill. Close to all shared amenities and a short walk from the lake, Mullein is an ideal home away from home to venture out from and explore the surrounding land and lake! The main floor of Mullein has a heat pump for heating and cooling as well as a woodstove, queen-size futon with comfortable mattress, a well-equipped kitchenette and a small washroom with a sawdust composting toilet. Upstairs there is one bedroom with a platform queen bed and an additional twin mattress that can be pulled out to accommodate a fifth guest. ** Guests bring their own bedding, pillows and towels. **Max 2 adults plus 3 kids. **** For families please just message us with number of kids. Our system sometimes auto-declines bookings with older kids because airbnb groups them with adults rather than children. Outside the cabin has a small porch, a picnic area and a fire-pit. It is a short walk down to the dock and an even shorter walk to get to the cedar shower and wood-fired sauna. The kitchenette includes a camp cooler, 2-burner propane cook top, dishes and cookware including a French press coffee maker, dishpan and soap, drinking water and wash water. There is also a 2-burner propane stove on the porch and a grill for the fire-pit. Filtered drinking water and wash water in 5 gallon camping jugs are included with the rental as Mullein does not have running water. Hot showers are available in a separate cedar pay shower that is located next to the cabin. The cost is $1 for 5 minutes and we can make change for you if needed. Mullein has some features to increase its accessibility including parking next to the cabin, ramp access from the parking spot to the cabin and proximity to the shared shower building and washroom which are both built to code for wheelchair accessibility. The picnic area has also been leveled to increase accessibility. Due to its cozy size the washroom in the cabin is not wheelchair accessible and accessible sleeping is limited to the futon on the main floor. Access to the lake is by a foot path that includes a steep staircase. The cabin is part of Wild Woods Hideaway, a rustic eco-resort tucked into the forest and along the shores of Mink Bay, near Kenora, Ontario. 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, wood-fired sauna and a cedar pay shower. 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. Guest access You will have access to the entire cabin including a private picnic area with a fire-pit. Additionally you will have access to all the shared amenities of the eco-resort including a wood-fired sauna ($10 fee to cover firewood), a cedar pay-shower with hot water, complimentary dock and use of canoes, kayaks and sups, hiking trails, play structure and several shared picnic areas with fire-pits.
