Off-Grid, Rustic Tiny House in the Forest with Wood-Burning Stove for a Secluded and Peaceful Getaway in Ontario

Tiny house in South Frontenac, Ontario

2 guests • 1 bed

New

Connect with nature in this cozy cabin nestled deep in the woods. Built using reclaimed materials, including its iconic white pillar deck rails, the Parthenon is as remarkable as the infamous temple itself. With its central living space overlooking the marsh and ladder that leads to the loft with a stunning stained-glass window, this writer’s haven will leave you feeling refreshed and inspired to write your next novel.

The Space
The Parthenon is exquisitely primitive. There is no electricity but there are plenty of candles, oil lamps, and lanterns for light. There is no running water but there is a chamber pot and nearby thunder box outside to do your business, and we provide a jug of fresh potable water for drinking.
It’s a bit like elegant indoor camping. This spacious cabin has a futon that turns into a double bed, a table that can be used for eating or playing cards, and a wood stove with plenty of firewood that heats the space even on the coldest of nights.
There is minimal but adequate cooking equipment—butane burner, pots, pans, plates, bowls, mugs, cutlery, cooking utensils, can opener, bottle opener, kettle, and even a french press for your morning cup of coffee!
Pack as if you were camping, except you can leave your dishes and linens at home! There are no roads to the cabin so you should be prepared to hike with your belongings from the parking lot over some rough terrain, approximately 20 minutes. We provide fresh sheets, a warm bamboo duvet, plenty of pillows, and an extra blanket for good measure.
Note: There is limited cell service and no Wi-Fi. You will be given emergency access to the main lodge, which has power, Wi-Fi, and a landline.

Staff Interaction
We are available by phone or text but will likely not be on the property during your stay. Bookings are self check-in/out. A detailed reminder will be emailed to you one week prior to your stay.

The Neighbourhood
Wintergreen Studios is located in a 204-acre wilderness setting, in the heart of the Frontenac Arch Biosphere Reserve. We are nearest the village of Westport, which is approximately 17 km northeast. There you can buy groceries at Kudrinko’s, wine at the Scheuermann Winery, beer at the Westport Brewing Company or The Beer Store, spirits at the local LCBO, or grab some ice cream at Vanilla Bean’s Café & Creamery.

The Parthenon is a 30-minute hike from the main lodge and parking area. It is a great introduction to the 200 acres of woods, wetlands, granite outcrops, rugged in parts. You can see the glacier-carved lake from the window of the Parthenon. It is a stunning embodiment of the Frontenac Arch Biosphere -- one of Canada's most diverse landscapes.
