Eco-Friendly Yurt Ideal for Glamping in Ontario
More than an accommodation - we are a destination!
Situated on a 500-acre property overlooking the Laurentian Mountains with multiple water access options. We provide the opportunity to disconnect in order to reconnect! Slow down to enjoy life's simple pleasures or fuel your energetic self with an abundance of onsite outdoor activities for every season. Experience an off-grid lifestyle in warmth and comfort.
We welcome you to the bright and spacious Pacific Yurt!.
With over 800 sq. ft. of space, the beautiful design and high ceiling provides a unique experience to help you step away from the outside world, & into a home of relaxation & zen, while sparking your creative imagination! You will also enjoy the natural lighting that comes from the ‘tunnel’ at the top of the yurt, with multiple windows along its circular form.
The yurt has one bedroom with a double bed, an indoor compost toilet and one open concept kitchen, dining and living room area. Floor mattresses are available for extra sleeping capacity. The yurt is self-sufficient and set up for all your basic needs, including: cooking, cleaning and serving. All you should need is a cooler with your food. For cooking, there is a propane stove and oven, a BBQ and an outdoor fire pit. All kitchen necessities are provided. There is no running water – however, large jugs of water from the onsite natural spring are provided. For heating, there is a woodstove inside to maintain a warm and cozy temperature. Wood for indoor heating is included with your stay.
This is an off-grid setting with a small solar set up that supplies little electricity. Please note that there is no wifi or cell service at the yurt , 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.
During the warmer seasons, there is a screened in gazebo on the large wrap around deck and two hammocks to relax and lounge in.
The road to the yurt is maintained in all seasons. Guests can drive and park next to the yurt. As we are situated on a large property, guests can walk, bike or drive to various activity access points on the property.
Now for the fun and adventure – guests can experience a variety of onsite outdoor activities for every season right from your doorstep!
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 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 $67.80 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.
