Instead of water and plumbing, it uses propane heat to safely turn waste into a small amount of clean ash. No odour, no mess. Where do we get drinking water? We don’t provide water on site, so please bring your own. If you run out, there’s a beautiful natural spring about a 10-minute drive away near Second Lake O’Law where you can refill. We’ll share directions in your guest guide. Is there a shower? Not yet! We’re in the process of building an off-grid shower house. How far to town? Inverness is just a 30-minute drive. The closest grocery store is 15 minutes away and the closest gas station is just down the road. The famous Cabot Trail starts just down the road. Do you provide bedding? No — please bring your own sheets/sleeping bags and pillows, or add on a bedding package ($30). Is there Wi-Fi? Yes, but only near the gazebo and front of the property. Cabins are off-grid, so you’ll have peace and quiet. Can I bring my dog? Yes! We’re dog-friendly! Please keep pups leashed, clean, and respectful of the space (see full pet policy in house manual).
