The space
Social: @backtothecabin

Welcome to Back to the Cabin. Inspired by our love of travel, antiques, & cozy cabins. Wake up to the sound of the babbling creek & views of the trees out every window.

Our cabin is situated in the country on a municipal maintained road. We sit on a heavily treed 1 acre lot in a residential area making you feel like you are in the forest but only a quick 5 minute drive to local amenities, restaurants, lcbo and grocery store.

**Spring/Summer/Fall 2025 please be aware there may be some construction noise during your stay due to development in the immediate area.**

Close by are many hiking and snowmobile trails, waterfalls, and farm to table restaurants.

Our cabin comes equipped with a full kitchen including, stove top, convection oven, bbq, fridge, microwave, water cooler, coffee maker, kettle, pots and pans, dishes and cutlery.

Outside you will find a sauna, seating area and fire pit.

During the cooler months the cabin is heated by a wood stove and electric heat. We provide wood and kindling for all guests. In the summer there is air-conditioning to ensure your comfort.

Please note that the cabin is Partially OFF GRID from mid oct-mid May (weather depending) and there will be no running water or plumbing. We have an outhouse that is cleaned between guest stays and will provide drinking water for your stay.

During summer months the cabin runs on septic. The washroom is fully functional including shower, toilet and sink. A/C is available in the common area of the cabin.


The cabin is located close to Varney Speedway. They operate occasionally during the summer months. The noise level is minimal and the trees do a good job of muffling the sound, but worth mentioning for those nights you're sitting out by the fire.
