About this property

Blue Owl Tiny house

This off-grid cabin is powered by solar which will run the lighting, small fans, charging devices, etc.. There is no refrigerator so please bring a cooler. There is an indoor regulated propane stovetop and a new gas barbeque outside giving you flexibility for preparing meals. We provide potable water for drinking and cooking and there is a gravity flow shower/outdoor sink (not operational during freezing temps) The outhouse is in close proximity.

The 250 sq. ft. cabin comes equipped with a queen sized bed, kitchenette, dining table, and reclining sofa. We've stocked it with most items you'll need for cooking including dishes, pots, pans, utensils, oven mitts, cutting board, glasses, mugs, etc. Bring your food, beverages and a cooler. The kitchenette is equipped with tea towels, dishcloths and scrubbies. We provide the mattress pad for the bed, please bring your own (queen size) bedding and pillows. We have a single cot available if there's a third person in your group.

There is a TV/DVD combo in the cabin and a small selection of DVD's at the property's common area for guests to access. There is no Wi-Fi although cellular service is good.

The multitude of trails (over 10 km of them) make for interesting hikes or bike riding. We're pet friendly, so bring your dog.

A couple of pre-printed scavenger hunts provide plenty of reason to look up in the trees and down on the ground to locate various hidden treasures, and have proven quite popular. The pond area is a pleasant place to explore. Speaking of exploring, you may want to pack rubber boots and bug spray due to the wet season we've had!

Depending on the time of year, there are several species of naturally occurring wildflowers visible along the well groomed trails such as Indian Paintbrush, Tiger Lilies, Marsh Marigolds, Wild Iris, Milkweed, Black-Eyed Susans, and more. The Saskatoon berries are plentiful in the early summer and the forest will takes on a red tinge later in the summer when the Cranberries emerge.

Though the rental cabins have their own lawn chairs, tables and firepits, there is a common area where we provide outdoor games, large fire-pit and seating areas.

We have a second cabin Micro Cabin in the Secluded Forest. If your date is booked, try it. Or better yet, get your friends together and book both!

Wonderful stay

My husband and I, our 5yo daughter, and our big dog enjoyed a few blissful nights in the Blue Owl house. It was wonderful. It was as close to camping as you can get, without sleeping in a tent. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and the trails around the property were fun. We liked it so much we will plan to be back next year!

This place was soooo cute and cozy. Cabin had everything I needed for a little R&R. The outhouse was the sweetest outhouse I ever used - loved the ticking grandfather clock :) Bob and Sharon were super responsive and quick with anything I needed. The trails here are next level. I was planning to use this as a landing pad between beach days and town visits but ended up spending a whole day getting lost on the trails and doing the scavenger hunt. Can't recommend highly enough and will be back!

Fire ban!

Sadly there was a fire ban on place across most of Manitoba so we were unable to enjoy the outdoors with a fire and a few beers. We only went out for a few hours to check out the place when we had it booked for 3 nights but it seems wonderful and hope to try again.

Restorative stay

Nestled amongst the birch and poplar trees The Blue Owl cabin provided a modern-day rustic accommodations for me and my adventurous cat. We cooked homemade meals, swung in harmony with the birds and breeze on the hammock, and followed the well-groomed trails for berry picking. Sky-gazing was my favourite past-time, and I miss the feeling already! This is one of those places you want to tell everyone about, and at the same time keep it a secret. Bob and Sharon are compassionate and generous hosts who clearly love nature and hosting us there.

About the host

Hosted by Bob & Sharon

Host profile image
When the opportunity to purchase the "big land" behind our 5 acre home, we jumped on it! The additional 120 acres proved to be a blank canvas for us to paint our future upon it. We started carving trails into the forest, naming the trails and erecting cute little signs to differentiate them from one another. Naming and painting the signs over a glass of wine became a game in itself. We cleared a "common area" installed an outhouse, large firepit, solar lighting strung up in the trees and a small stage for live music. It didn't take long for friends and family to encourage us to start sharing this little piece of heaven with others. We hosted a couple birthday party groups and had a "live band" play a concert in our park. The mold was cast!

Why they chose this property

As time went on we recognized we needed to provide places for people to stay longer. We carved out a couple overnight campsites and equipped them with firepits, picnic tables and solar lighting. The first tiny house came about almost by accident. We had extra lumber leftover from building our new garage...the next thing you know we're building the micro-cabin in our front yard, stealing ideas from DIY tv shows about tiny houses.

What makes this property unique

The micro-cabin was spared nothing. It was built with 2x6x10 foot spruce, spray foam insulated, functional windows, insulated door with sliding window for ventilation, steel roofing, CUB mini-wood stove and double-wall insulated chimney. Once moved to it's current location a brand new 460 watt/60 amp solar power system to power a few amenities. In keeping with the "off-grid" theme we managed to incorporate a filtered rain water collection system including hand-wash sink and gravity flow shower. Most people seem to get a kick out of it and it certainly helps cool you down on those hot days! An indoor regulated propane cooktop and gas barbeque outside gives our guests options for cooking. Of course there's a grated firepit for roasting marshmallows or huddling around while playing the ukelele.

Once the micro-cabin was completed, it became obvious we needed to share this space too. But how? After doing a bit of research we felt it may be time to join the VRBO Team. Before long, "The little space that could" attracted a steady stream of guests, excited entries were filling our guest-book and the VRBO reviews had us quickly climbing to rank of Premier Host. Many guests pointed out the clever use of space, the thoughtfully appointed acoutremonts and the serene forest setting. A full year passed when we realized a second cabin, one to accommodate a slightly larger group, would be beneficial. Here we grow again!

Then the second cabin, the Blue Owl Tiny House came along....
