Cabin Notes
Lone Wolf Cabin… Everything you need to Know…there is a copy at the cabin.
Important….All persons, Please Read to familiarize yourself with the cabin and property.
We hope that you enjoy your stay at Lone Wolf Cabin. Dwight and I decided to share our special place in the winter of 2009 and hope that you treat it as your special place. Please review this document carefully and ensure that all members of your party are familiar with the contents of the conditions of rental and cleanliness guidelines.
Entertaining guests is very much part of cabin life; however the maximum number of persons determined for this cabin is based on the owners wishes. Remember that the cabin is occupied on an ongoing basis throughout the year by other clients, family and friends in addition to your party.
A copy of these notes are at the cabin, this is just to prepare you for your adventure or if it does not seem to your liking you can back out when you read this. A lot of cabin life is just common sense.

Cleaning Important In order for us to check people in and out with a 3 hour lapse we need you to adhere to the cleaning guidelines. Just as you appreciated the clean and well maintained state in which you found the cabin, we ask that you leave the cabin clean and tidy for our next guests, the way you would like it left for you and the way you found it. If you would rather pay to have the cleaning done done the fee is $65.00 which you can pay in cash. Please advise in advance. Allow yourself about three hours for the cleaning and setup. If we are to pick you up please have everything ready to put in the trailer or sled at 11:30 am sharp check out. Cleaning guidelines below.
Wood Stove, Kindling Some knowledge of starting and maintaining fires is required. From experience Dwight and I have realized that a lot of people love to burn kindling, Kindling burns easily and quickly however it requires a lot of work. Kindling is only used in small quantities to start a fire. If you like to use large quantities please collect your own dry sticks from the woods or take the little or large axe on a splitting block and split to your hearts content. If you feel like splitting larger pieces of wood you can take the splitting maul and hone your skills:) We have an excellent booklet at the cabin entitled "The Art of Fire"
Please be careful of hot coals falling out onto the floor.
To start a fire in cabin, place paper and kindling and a couple of small pieces of wood in the wood stove (bits of birch birch bark works really well). Make sure the damper is open (push left to open) and light the fire.. Sometimes to start a fire we find that leaving the door open a crack will get it going faster. Once the fire is going well, close the door. Never leave damper wide open for long as this could heat up the stove too much creating a fire hazard. There is a temperature gauge on the stove pipe at the back to show you when things might be getting dangerously hot. If you need to empty ashes there is a metal bucket outside (please dont use the plastic one, yes it has been done a few times), then place it in the snow to cool and not on the wooden deck...
Wood for the inside is in the woodshed....the smaller pieces we split are only for the hot tub stove and sauna .... they are also in the wood shed, pieces are about 3 or 4" in diameter.
Candles We provide a few tea light candles, If you like candles we suggest you bring your own tea lights or the big pillar candles, no tapers, Please be careful. Make sure candles are not left unattended. No candles inside of sauna (they will melt all over the floor.) The fire department cannot reach the cabin.
Outdoor fires, there is a fire pit. Please keep fires small and never have a fire when it is windy. We do not use our good firewood for this. There is a small brown metal box near the firepit with wood inside that we only use for camp fires.
Waste disposal: The recycle and garbage is located at the beginning of 59 Stanyar Road. The dark brown garbage box with the wolf painted on it is for garbage and the blue bin is for recycle. Please bring this out with you or in the winter have it ready to be taken out by the owners.
Compost There is a compost container in the kitchen. The black composter is beside the garden. Nothing but fruits, vegetables, coffee, tea and egg shells………..NO STARCHES, MEATS OR PAPER.
Drinking Water; Above the sink in the kitchen is a water filtering system. We filter the water as a precaution. Keep this container full for your drinking water, it filters through to the bottom. Fill it with tap or spring water at the end of the day to replace what you drank as it only drips through. Only fill so the bottom gets full. If the top is full as well the water will leak around the middle.
Water Source (Summer): is from a small spring on the side of the hill that dries up in the summer. There is a reservoir of water up on the hill when this happens. To insure that all parties have access to this water you should try to limit yourself to about 10 gallons of this water a day. Water is piped directly into the kitchen. There is no need to do anything to get cold running water.
In the summer hot water is from a propane water heater just outside the kitchen that is gravity fed from our 300 gallon reservoir up the hill.
Hot and Cold Water Source (Winter) Is from the spring that runs mostly all winter through a hose outside but freezes when hooked up to the cabin so we try to have a 40 gallon container inside filled for you at the sink and if thats not possible a 7 gallon water container in the kitchen that we will fill up for you will be on the counter.
When you run out there is a spring at the side of the deck that you can refill from. For your hot water take a bucket to the spring just beside the deck. There is a pot on the wood stove for your hot water, or heat it up on the propane stove.
Very rarely in the winter does the spring dry and/or freeze up. Sometimes there is not enough snow and extreme temperatures causing the frost to go deeper than normal in which case it freezes our water source. When this is the case there is no hot tub, just the beautiful sauna and we would bring in our well water from our home.
Bathroom: Please nothing but pee pee down the inside toilet which in the summer time goes under the dayliles into a french drain and works by evaporation.
Showering, There is a red bucket in the shower. Fill it with your hot or warm water. In the shower drop in the low voltage pump, flip the switch and shower away. If you stand in the bucket or direct the water as such, you will be able to enjoy a longer shower. When finished place the plug back in shower to prevent odors or cold air from coming up, the shower water goes directly to the grey water pit. There is no s trap due to freezing in winter. You can always take water from the hot tub into the shower with you. Then hop into the tub so the water in the tub will stay cleaner for longer. If this is not working you can use the shower to give yourself a sponge bath.
IN the WINTER FOR BATHROOM SINK.....For the sink, we have disconnected it underneath due to freezing and replaced with a bucket. Please keep you eye on this that it does not overflow. It can be dumped in the toilet every morning
Wood fired Tub...in extreme sub zero temperatures the hot tub will be closed but the sauna is always operational.
The Chofu is a precision built wood-burning water heater specifically designed for heating hot tubs. It circulates water using the principal of thermosiphon (the movement created by rising hot water)and eliminates the need for a circulating pump or electricity.
The Japanese Ofura soaking tub it not a bath tub and not meant to bath in but to soak in, a mode of relaxation. It will be all set up for you. In the winter there is a hose hanging on the edge of the deck should you need to add more water. The fire will be set and the water should have the biggest part of the chill taken out. There is a thermometer floating in the tub along with the bromine floater and ideally the temperature should read between 100 & 105, any hotter and you will not be able to stay in long and become lethargic. Once you have reached your ideal temperature you should have very little coals left. If you do, the water will continue to get hotter and hotter :) You will be able to soak at least 2 hours if you reach the perfect temperature. To get an accurate reading you will need to stir the water with the paddle every once in a while. Firewood for this wood stove is stacked in the wood shed. Feel free to split larger pieces intosmaller pieces to keep it filled up if you so wish :). The tub stove works best with 3 to 4” pieces of wood, larger pieces may cause it to overheat. This stove has a water jacket surrounding it and when the water is heated up it is pushed out of the top pipe and the cooler water is drawn in through the lower port.
It is important when you leave to drain, rinse and clean the tub ring as well as taking the black plug from the back of the tub stove so that the water inside the stove does not freeze. This is best done the morning you are leaving. I like to clean it with a dust pan brush and a bit of Murphys Oil soap. Make sure to rinse. In sub zero temperatures you need to have at least one fire a day to keep it from freezing. If you are concerned that it might be frozen you just need to feel both black pipes coming out from behind the stove to make sure they are not frozen. If you have a fire when they are frozen, the stove will implode.
TIP To keep your soaking tub cleaner longer you can take a pail of the hot water from the tub in the shower with you and shower off first. Always make sure that you have water over the second port in the tub, if necessary you can put more in with hose.
Outhouse Is self explanatory, nothing but #1 and #2 and toilet paper, all other products go in the garbage. Please throw a scoop of lime or ashes in after every poop or two ;).
Power: Lone Wolf cabin runs on 120V AC. We generate our power using four 115 Watt solar panels. The panels are in series and feed through a 20 Amp circuit breaker to a charge controller which converts the 24V DC to 12V DC and then charges the battery bank.
On a good sunny summers day they will generate 15+ amps. Wintertime gives us 50% less power which means that you need to be careful and turn lights off behind you. A good rule of thumb is to never have more than 3 lights on at a time.
The only thing you need to watch is the “Charge Controller” which is located on the wall to the left of the kitchen stove. If it goes down to 12.00 then you will have to run the generator for at least ½ hour or longer. After you charge the batteries the voltage will be higher and then settle down after ½ hour. Good power reading should be between 12.3 and 12.6 by the time the sun goes down. After a day you will catch on....and I will explain more when you arrive....sounds complicated but its not.
Generator To start the generator, first push the red rocker switch to ON. Then you pull out the choke, pull the cord one or twice and when it starts wait a couple of seconds and push the choke back in. Make sure the extension cord is fully in the socket (it tends to vibrate out sometimes) and check the charge controller inside. It should read somewhere between 12.7V and 14+ V. That’s it and you know its charging. When you are finished charging, turn the generator off. In the winter it is suggested to run it for 30-40 minutes in the late afternoon to make sure the batteries are topped up.
Visiting Dogs If you have a German Shepherd male visitor that would be Arthur a 5 year old and our recent addition, Arthur will go home if you point and in a firm voice say go home.....
If you have your own dogs, make sure that they have been treated with a flea product and please do the poop and scoop. If your dog is aggressive please leave it at home.
Visiting Persons or Ski-doos/Atv’s The property is private other than the north swamp with the old abandoned hunt camp on it. The owners of this 300 acre property are also interested in privacy and sometimes ice fish at the north end of the lake. Feel free to see if they have had any success, Please inform us if you feel something is amiss.
Phone: Most cell phones will work here but you will have to find the sweet spots, Rogers works best. For me the Mudroom/bedroom works as well as the middle of the bed in the loft, the best spot is on the deck by the hot tub....for some it is the middle of the lake or over by the pine tree. Reception will be poor in bad weather.
Keeping the cabin warm/cool. In the summer when the weather is very warm and humid it helps to close up the windows, early in the morning except in the kitchen. Later in the day close the blinds and curtains. It generally stays nice and cool through the day. Keeping both doors closed in the main cabin helps a lot as well, especially to the kitchen which can get quite warm because of the pilot lights on the stove and fridge. I always keep all the windows and door open in the kitchen on those warm days.
In the winter when it is very very cold out we close the back room to keep the heat in the main cabin.
Propane Kitchen
The stove and fridge run on propane and have pilot lights. To light the stove just turn the burner/oven knob. Propane comes from the tanks outside. There are two tanks connected through a diverter switch so only one tank is on at a time. On the rare occasion If you smell a faint whiff of propane that lingers it may be that the pilot light in the oven went out. To check, open the broiler door at the bottom and look in, you should see the small flame. If not, take a long lighter or match and put it to the back upper pilot and it should light. If the smell persists give us a call.
Fridge The propane fridge does not work like an electric fridge. It takes longer to cool things down. Because the kitchen can get quite warm the little fridge works hard. There is a lot of condensation so you may find liquid collecting at the bottom, this is normal. The other thing you may notice is that things can freeze at the bottom so keep you veggies and fruits off the bottom. It is advisable in the summer to keep all windows and door open in the kitchen as it can get quite hot in there..there is a carbon monoxide detector attached to this and will sound if detected and this will shut the fridge off automatically.
There is a spring on the kitchen door going to the main part of the cabin so that heat from the kitchen does not escape and warm up the main room.
Lake In the summer the lake is great for swimming, fishing and canoeing. There are a number of floating items for you to use, air mattress, floating island, noodles, etc. There is also a swim raft with ladder. We do have a couple of life jackets but if you wish to use them please bring your own life jackets as ours may not fit..
The lake is also shared with ourselves or guests staying at the yurt. The float to the left is for guests at the yurt. The deepest part of the lake is only about 13’
There are pike, perch and catfish, not a lot as it is a tiny lake. Do not walk on the ice near the dam to the left in the winter or to the north near the swamp.
Suggested Items to Bring
What is supplied The cabin is very well equipped and tastefully decorated with all the comforts.
Activities; There are a number of things to do at Lone Wolf. With 220 acres you will not meet many people in the woods or on the lake for that matter but most people just end up relaxing :)
Winter offers snow shoeing. Lots of virgin snow to make your own trails. We have 4 pair available at the cabin for your use.
The main trail in is excellent for back country skiing, as well as walking trails.
There are also a couple of sleds should you wish to go sliding
Feel free to have a camp fire in the designated spot.
Also feel free to perfect your wood splitting skills, the splitting axe awaits you or use the smaller axe and split some kindling.
Walking is great as well on all of the well packed trails, there is a map at the cabin
When you Leave; Please leave the cabin the way you found it.
We also have our 19’ Mongolian Yurt available for winter rental
