Storybook Cabin in the Woods

Escape the hustle to relax in this cozy, semi-off-grid log cabin built in 1850 from hand-hewn Quebec logs. Nestled on over an acre of private forest, the cabin offers the ideal mix of peaceful seclusion and convenient access. Enjoy a coffee on the porch. Connect with friends around the fire. Look up at the stars. Let the fairytale charm and storybook touches immerse you in the magic of the woods. The space This unique one-room (with loft) log cabin offers the comforts of electricity and Wi-Fi, while embracing a rustic, back-to-basics escape into the woods. The cabin feels wonderfully remote, thanks to its position set back from the road and surrounded by mature trees—but it's located on a year-round serviced road, making it accessible in all seasons. Just 5 minutes away, you’ll find Katrine General Store. Katrine’s public beach and boat launch on Little Doe Lake are a lovely walk or short drive away. Drive 10 minutes to visit Burk's Falls for groceries and dining. Arrowhead Provincial Park is only 15 minutes away for hiking and exploring.

The washroom is a clean, private outhouse. Outdoor shower with refillable solar shower bag is seasonal (May-Oct). **One bag of firewood provided per stay (for outdoor firepit).
