LONE WOLF CABIN

 

Lone Wolf Cabin
​A unique off the grid experience, there really is nothing quite like it.
"Described as "A Hidden Gem"  With a wood fired Japanese Ofuro soaking tub and an amazing wood fired log sauna, this cabin is for 2 persons. 

We are located about 30 minutes from downtown Ottawa in the Gatineau Hills of Quebec, 230 acres, very private,  This cabin is only for two people. We are geared as an adult property.

The real Canadian experience, an authentic darling little 600 square foot log cabin in the middle of the woods by the edge of a tiny lake off the grid. You are the only one on the lake! Totally private. The log cabin and log sauna were built on site from white pine logs that were cut within 500’ of the cabin. Power is supplied by the sun. Four solar panels and 6 batteries supply enough power for your lights, music, chargers, (not hair blowers). There is a backup generator if the sun is not co-operating in the winter.

The Kitchen is 7 by 11, with a small 4 burner propane stove and oven and a mid size propane fridge with tiny freezer. There is gravity fed running cold water at the sink in the summer which we collect in reservoirs from a underground source in the spring that dries up in the summer. Above the sink is a 2 gallon Berkey gravity fed water filter system for drinking water. Winter has a 7 gallon container on the counter, refilled from the spring at the side of the deck which runs all winter or tap water brought in from our home. This is what we use to fill the wood fired hot tub.
All your basic spices, sugar, salt,  flour, cooking oil, etc. are in the cupboards, lots of  my hand made pottery dishes, cutlery, coffee grinder, stovetop expresso maker, stovetop.

Milita drip coffee pot, pots and pans, almost everything you would have at your home. Feel free to ask if there is that specific item you need. The kitchen opens up to the back deck where you will find the BBQ with the outhouse (outdoor toilet) near by.

The main part of the cabin is 16' by 14', has a couch, pine table and chairs, wood stove and lots of games (click here for list of games), puzzles and large assortment of books. There is an ipod player, blue tooth speaker and radio. Quaint decor and attention to detail. It is cozy, romantic and just delightful.  A steep ladder/stairs leads upstairs to a large loft that has cathedral ceiling, skylight and lots of windows. There is a queen sized bed, linens provided, pine floors, desk, armoire and chest of drawers. 

The back room serves as  a mudroom with couch. This room opens up to a large side deck with table chairs and umbrella.

Just a few feet away there is an unbelievable 2 person wood fired cedar soaking tub, even in the rain and snow it is sheer bliss to be sitting in under the stars.  This will have fresh spring water from the hill all heated up for you when you arrive in the winter (summer you heat it up to your liking). 

As an added bonus we now have a wood fired log sauna up the hill, it measures a generous  8x7' inside with two generous upper benches to stretch out on that are in an 8'x7' L shape and 28" deep!  There is a large deck with twig railing overlooking the lake which is about 40' from the cabin up the hill.

The lake is very small with pike, perch and catfish in it, a mud bottom… apparently there is that elusive big one that got away. There is a swim raft in the lake, a inflatable island, a couple of canoes and paddleboat. There is a rock shore at the cabin that goes out about 8' then drops to about 8'. Enjoy camp fires by the waters edge or sit in the wood fired hot tub and star gaze. We have trails that we are slowly developing on our 230 acres for hiking in the summer. In the winter enjoy snowshoeing on the trails, not suitable for cross country skiing. 

Pets, yes we allow pets that have been treated with a flea product, well behaved and cleaned up after . This guarantees that we can continue to allow pets. 

Getting There: We are 30 minutes from downtown Ottawa in the Perkins sector of Val des Monts in the Gatineau Hills of Quebec. In the summer you would meet us at the trailhead which is the parking area in the middle of the forest on our gated 230 acre property.  (will provide directions & details once you are booked in). 
 With our ATV we will bring your things in to the lake  and then canoe  300' across the small lake to the cabin. For you it would be a ten minute walk and a 5 minute paddle across  If you have a dog you can also take (literally) the deer trail up and down and around the lake. this trail would take another 6-10 minutes.
​
In the Winter  you park at our home  which is 1 1/2 km away and we take you to the cabin via skidoo and sled on a packed trail through the woods from behind our house.  If you needed to get back to your car it would be a 30 minute walk.  The sled behind the snow mobile looks like a dog sled.  Someone stands behind it and all the gear gets strapped into the sled.  Someone else would sit behind me on the snow mobile.

When you are ready to leave the cabin, we will pick you up. Part of the winter rental is delivering you and your gear to the cabin, having the fire set for you in the morning before you arrive to take the chill out, as well as filling up the wood fired hot tub with fresh spring water and setting the fire for you.
Getting you there during freeze up and thaw....yet another element of adventure, typically mid November and mid March, depending on our unpredictable weather. When this happens we go around the lake. At the end of the lake where the water exits there is a small stream with a 16' foot bridge that is 2' wide where you can cross onto the Deer Trail. This narrow trail goes along the lake, up and down to the cabin. I will let you know when this might be the case.

A few times in the winter there will be a couple of ice fishermen that will come in from the north end of the lake  from another property and do some fishing, they stay at the far end of the lake,  if it happens  dont be shy to go and check out their catch.....they have been know to offer a fish.

You would be all alone, in a log cabin by a crackling fire in the middle of the forest by the lakes edge..........in a wood fired hot tub.... now how perfect is that!!!
