The perfect tiny cabin, glamping style get away. Very simple and just like advertised. The communal bathroom and the cabin were very clean. The host was wonderful to deal with and had great communication. My only critiques is that the outdoor area could use a little clean up and organizing. The main mattress was a tad sunk in.

Thank you so much for your kind review and for staying with us! We’re very happy you enjoyed the simple glamping experience and found both the cabin and communal bathroom clean. We also truly appreciate your kind words about our communication and hosting. We appreciate the feedback regarding the outdoor area and mattress. Hydro is currently completing upgrades and some of the outdoor mess is unfortunately related to the ongoing work, but we are continuing to organize and improve the space as things progress. We will also look into the mattress to make sure future guests are even more comfortable. Thank you again and we hope to host you again soon!

Description of property could use some tweaking. We did not expect to have to heat cabin with a tiny (size of a double toaster) and a heat lamp. It was difficult to keep cabin warm so would recommend better heating system. Cabin was clean but the outside was messy with items strewn around the property. Porta potty was very clean and hot shower was nice.

⸻ Thank you for your feedback—we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear that the heating did not meet your expectations. The cabin is equipped with a wood stove, space heater, and a diesel heater, which are typically more than sufficient to keep the space warm. Many of our guests actually enjoy the experience of using the wood stove, collecting firewood, and relaxing by the fire pit under the stars as part of the forest glamping atmosphere we aim to provide. Regarding the exterior, there was a recent windstorm that caused fallen branches and debris around the property. We were in the process of cleaning this up during your stay, and we appreciate your understanding as we continue maintaining the natural surroundings. We’re glad to hear you found the cabin clean and enjoyed the hot shower and well-maintained facilities. In addition to the hot and cold shower, we also offer a natural outdoor water feature near the cabin for guests who enjoy a more immersive nature experience. Thank you again for your feedback—it helps us continue to improve while still offering a unique and rustic getaway. Serdar

The location of the cabin was a bit tricky to find, but once I found it, the experience was great. It's very private and close to nature, the cabin and surroundings were as clean as a nature retreat can get. Firewood for both the wooden stove inside and the fireplace outside was provided, which was amazing for someone who's not used to being in nature. As it was still cold, even freezing, when I was there, there were barely any bugs around!I'd have loved the convenience of a washroom in the cabin, but the shared one was close and we'll maintained. The warm water was nice after a cold night!The host was easy to communicate with and was very helpful with everything that came up during my stay.The only thing that was a bit scary was coming down from the loft-like upstairs bedroom, coordinating how to get down from there was complicated as the stairs are very steep.Thanks for everything, and if I want to book a cabin again, I'll definitely book this one!

Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review! We’re really glad to hear that once you found the cabin, you had a great experience and were able to enjoy the privacy and natural surroundings. We appreciate you pointing out that the location can be a bit tricky to find—this is helpful feedback, and we’ll work on improving directions to make arrival easier for future guests. It’s great to know you enjoyed the firewood and amenities, especially during the colder weather (and the bonus of fewer bugs this time of year!). We also appreciate your comments about the washroom and are happy to hear it met your needs and was well maintained. Your feedback about the loft stairs is very important to us—we understand they can feel steep for some guests. To make the space more comfortable and accessible, we’ve recently added a main-level sleeping option with a king-size bed, so guests now have the choice between the loft or staying on the main floor with no stairs required. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’re really happy to hear you’d choose to stay with us again. You’re always welcome back anytime! Thanks again for your thoughtful feedback 😊

My close friends and I had a wonderful stay at the cabin over Thanksgiving weekend. There were enough beds for our group and the facilities ensured we enjoyed home comforts while also living up to promises of quiet and solitude in nature. We had long chats by the fire by night and hiked in the surrounding Backus conservation area by day. We will definitely be back in the future!

When we were there was not a lot of mosquitoes just used bug spray and coils and could stay out all night. There’s a mini fridge and barbecue on the property which wasn’t in the posting. Had a great time and the host answered our question throughly and quickly

We stayed at this cabin for one night to celebrate our 18-year anniversary, and it was absolutely perfect! It’s a beautiful, private, and secluded spot that gave us the peace and quiet we were looking for. With no cell service, we were able to completely disconnect from our phones and really reconnect with each other, such a blessing.The king-sized bed on the main floor was super comfy, and at night the view of the stars was breathtaking. The location is also fantastic, just a quick 15-minute drive to the beach, and the nearby Eco Adventure Park was exactly what we needed to add a little fun and activity to our getaway.The owner was wonderful to communicate with and made everything easy from start to finish. Overall, we loved our stay and would highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a cozy, peaceful escape

On arrival, there was an old pair of sandals outside the front door of the cabin, two dirty towels/rags hanging on the line, and the fire pit area was untidy. It gave us the impression that someone may be inside the cabin. There were no top sheets on the beds and the fitted sheets weren't clean (sand felt all along one and hair found on the other). The floor needed to be swept. The faucet in the cabin was not hooked up correctly and when the water temperature was changed, water poured on the ground. There is a large gap after the last step to go up to the loft, we did not feel comfortable with our younger kids sleeping up top, so we did. On a more positive note, the host was very polite and incredibly responsive. He sent a cleaner over promptly to sweep and put clean sheets on the bed including a top sheet as requested. The property has lots of potential but needs more attention to detail overall.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m very sorry that your arrival did not feel as welcoming as it should have. Since the cabin is in the forest, we provide outdoor sandals for guests who wish to use the outdoor shower, and towels on the line are sometimes left to dry — but I understand how this could have been misinterpreted and will make sure it’s handled differently going forward. As for the fire pit, we often prepare wood for guests, and because there is so much wood in the area, we try to keep it stocked and ready — though I see how it may have appeared untidy on arrival, and I’ll ensure it’s neater moving forward. We have also followed up with our cleaner and reviewed our sanitation program with proper documentation to make sure bedding, floors, and all details meet the highest standards for every stay. The faucet and loft steps are being addressed as well to improve safety and comfort for families. I’m glad we could resolve some of your concerns quickly during your stay, and I truly appreciate your recognition of my responsiveness. Thank you again for your comments — they help us improve and make the cabin even better for future guests

This place is a gem! We needed a peaceful escape from the city and we chose this retreat due to its proximity to provincial parks. The cabin was immaculately clean, cozy and welcoming. It's even nicer in person. The king sized bed is very comfortable. We really appreciated how well stocked the property is, from extra blankets, to a spare flashlight, dishes, firewood, pans, extra chairs, and even water sandals for the shower. There is a portapoty conveniently located right outside the cabin, an outdoor cold shower, and a full 3 piece washroom with a warm shower just steps away. This cabin is very private and surrounded by trees. Our stay was in the spring and it got quite cold at night. There is a small wood furnace but it doesn't do much to heat up the cabin, so I would recommend bringing an extra duvet if you're visiting in the colder months. The host was very responsive and helpful. Overall, we had a great stay. This cabin is good value for the money and we're looking forward to visiting again.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and were able to relax and unwind in the peaceful surroundings—that’s exactly the experience we hope to provide. It’s great to know you found the cabin clean, cozy, and well-stocked, and that the little extras made a difference for you. We also appreciate your honest feedback about the cooler spring nights—this is very helpful for future guests. We wanted to share that we do have plans in place to add heat pumps to all of our family cabins, and we’re currently waiting on a hydro upgrade to support this. In the meantime, we’ve installed a diesel heater to provide additional warmth during colder stays. This past winter and spring have also been much colder than usual, which definitely made temperatures more noticeable. We’re glad the location worked out well for your plans and that you felt the privacy and natural setting added to your experience. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime for another getaway! Thanks again for choosing our cabin 😊
