Wood for indoor heating is included with your stay. Enjoy a fully screened front porch with patio set and BBQ, and hammocks in the warmer months.

Please note that there is no wifi or cell service at the chalet, which has become a selling feature for our destination as guests are looking to disconnect. If you 'must' connect, there is one place on the property to tap into service or there is full service a quick drive down the road. The Town of Mattawa is also a 15-minute drive away.

The road to the cabin is maintained in all seasons. Guests can drive and park right at the accommodation. As we are situated on a large property, guests can walk, bike or drive to various activity access points on the property.

In the spring, summer and fall, explore our extensive trail system with over 25+km's of trails of varying lengths, levels of difficulty and some incredible viewpoints. Looking to enjoy the water? Guests can enjoy swimming, canoeing, kayaking, stand-up paddling or floating in a tube on the beautiful Bang’s Bay, which connects to the Ottawa River. You can also take a dip in the creek at the Dome or take a hike to Scooper Lake for a remote wilderness swim. In the right seasons, there is an abundance of wild berries, wild edibles and mushrooms to pick and forage. The autumn is spectacular with the ever-changing colours and incredible viewpoints overlooking the Laurentian Mountains. For the children, there is a complete play structure with sand, swing sets, slack lines, hammock zone and a zip line.

All water equipment is included. There are no additional charges for summer activities.

In the winter months, we promise to bring out your inner child! We are a one-stop destination for all the favourite winter activities. Enjoy the extensive trail system for snowshoeing and back-country skiing. For an adrenaline ride, slide down one of the 7 unique tubing luge runs in our tubing park or enjoy ice skating on the pond. If you have children, you will want to experience the activities in our adventure passport: outdoor obstacle course, groomed scavenger hunt loop, interactive “Foxy” story trail and snow mountain scrabble. At the end of the day, relax and unwind with a hot cup of cocoa by the fire or enjoy a hot sauna.

Please note that the tubing and sauna must be reserved in advance and extra fees apply. All other winter activities are included with your stay. Please inquire directly to reserve the sauna or tubing.

Other items to note:
Showers (warmer seasons): Three outdoor eco-showers are available, whereby water is collected in a holding tank from the natural spring, passively heated by the sun and gravity fed into the showers.

Showers (colder seasons): We have created a unique shower set up as part of the sauna experience.

Wood-fired Sauna: The sauna experience is often a highlight and includes a unique manual pump shower set up. The sauna can be reserved by the hour for your own private use. The cost is $73.45 for the hour for 2 guests + $5.65 per additional guest (includes HST). We will get everything ready, including delivering the water and lighting candles if it's at night time. It takes approximately 2.5 hours to get the sauna hot and ready and the time must be coordinated in advance.

Outdoor bonfire wood available for purchase - $12 per bundle

For bedding - bottom sheets only provided. Guests need to bring their own comforters/sleeping bags and pillows. If full linens are required, please inquire directly.
