There is no electricity in this off-grid setting - however, natural lighting is captured from several windows.

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.

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.

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.

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.
