About this property

Joni Cabin | Intimate Wilderness Retreat

Named after iconic Canadian folk singer Joni Mitchell, this intimate wilderness retreat offers 77 wooded acres in Pakenham, a historic rural community on the edge of the Ottawa Valley. The cabin sits between a high valley ridge and a quiet forest, perched above a bubbling brook, creating a tranquil spot to recharge.

Explore rolling hills, maple groves, creeks, and natural artesian springs, or take a day to hike nearby trails and visit the historic villages of Mississippi Mills along the Mississippi River. Don’t miss a stop at the on-site Cartwright Springs Brewery near the main road for a locally crafted refreshment.

The property is shared with guests and visitors of Cartwright Springs Brewery. You may encounter others on the roads or around the property.

OFF-GRID BASICS
This eco-cabin is completely OFF-GRID. (Don’t let this scare you). Our cabin is modernized and solar powered with electricity and heat.

Drawing too much energy may cause you to lose power, so you’ll need to be mindful of your consumption during your stay. There is a back-up generator when solar power is low.
