The property and cabin were beautiful and it's obvious that the hosts put a lot of care into detail. The wood stove and mix of propane and solar power could be a bit confusing for folks who've never had experience with those. We really enjoyed the being "off grid" aspect of the cabin.
There was some nice trails and a cool sauna on site and lots of fun trails and wild life areas nearby. Would definitely go back.
Bit of a learning curve for me as I had not experienced the workings of solar-powered and propane-fuelled equipment. But the place was gorgeous, peaceful, stunning and I enjoyed the sauna and pool as well as the brilliant starry skies at night. I only wish I'd stayed longer.
This was a nice and peaceful getaway, and the descriptions provided by the property manager were very accurate, helpful and exactly as it appeared in the sample images of the cabin and surrounding area.
With the amenities provided, it included all items needed to operate/maintain each one and there were no issues at all.
Communication was very prompt, which made the whole process very easy and inviting. Thank you for everything. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this stay for summer or winter.

About the host
Hosted by Janice DUMONT
My husband Dan and I enjoy the outdoors cross-country skiing, fat biking, ATV, hiking, snowshoeing, and bird watching. You may spot us playing with our dogs, Turbo, Ranger, and Diesel. When building our cabins we wanted to be off grid, and environmentally friendly. It is very important to me that my guests feel welcomed and enjoy their holiday time.

What makes this property unique
SANDILANDS PROVINCIAL FOREST: The soil is still a reminder of the ancient beaches, but is now covered with a rich forest of mixed hardwoods and majestic pine.
