Escape to the Woods - Off-Grid Living - York River

Escape to nature at our fully off-grid cabin nestled on a private wooded 2-acres. While wonderfully remote, you’re just a short drive to Bancroft and all amenities.

Enjoy swimming from our sandy shore along the York River or unwind with cozy bonfires by the water’s edge. Spend your days relaxing on the deck or under the covered pergola, taking in the peaceful forest setting—rain or shine.

This is a place to truly unplug/recharge and explore. Your stay promises a little bit of magic.

----------------------------------------

Escape to a quiet, remote retreat surrounded by nature. Our cozy yet functional off-grid cabin offers all the basic amenities you need for a comfortable stay.
Enjoy exploring our 2 km private laneway, wooded property, and scenic views of the York River.

While the cabin is not directly on the water due to fluctuating river levels, a forest path leads you to the shoreline. Please note that water access may require navigating a slope, and a ladder is provided when levels permit—conditions can vary, especially in summer.

Inside, you’ll find a full kitchen with a range and fridge/freezer, plus a complete bathroom with a tub/shower, toilet, and on-demand hot water. The open sleeping loft features tall ceilings, and we provide bedding, soap, and toilet paper (guests must bring their own bath towels). A smart TV is available for streaming.

As a fully off-grid property, power depends on solar conditions and may be limited during cloudy weather or shorter daylight seasons. A backup generator is available if needed. We encourage guests to embrace the opportunity to unplug, but off-grid living isn’t for everyone—please keep this in mind when booking.

Water is supplied via a rainwater holding tank, so we ask guests to use it thoughtfully.

Please note: The cabin is located 2 km down a private, unpaved laneway. While accessible by car, an SUV or truck is recommended, especially in wet conditions. We also suggest arriving before dark on your first night.
