About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Blue Owl Tiny house

This off-grid cabin is powered by solar which will run the lighting, small fans, charging devices, etc.. There is no refrigerator so please bring a cooler. There is an indoor regulated propane stovetop and a new gas barbeque outside giving you flexibility for preparing meals. We provide potable water for drinking and cooking and there is a gravity flow shower/outdoor sink (not operational during freezing temps) The outhouse is in close proximity.

The 250 sq. ft. cabin comes equipped with a queen sized bed, kitchenette, dining table, and reclining sofa. We've stocked it with most items you'll need for cooking including dishes, pots, pans, utensils, oven mitts, cutting board, glasses, mugs, etc. Bring your food, beverages and a cooler. The kitchenette is equipped with tea towels, dishcloths and scrubbies. We provide the mattress pad for the bed, please bring your own (queen size) bedding and pillows. We have a single cot available if there's a third person in your group.

There is a TV/DVD combo in the cabin and a small selection of DVD's at the property's common area for guests to access. There is no Wi-Fi although cellular service is good.

The multitude of trails (over 10 km of them) make for interesting hikes or bike riding. We're pet friendly, so bring your dog.

A couple of pre-printed scavenger hunts provide plenty of reason to look up in the trees and down on the ground to locate various hidden treasures, and have proven quite popular. The pond area is a pleasant place to explore. Speaking of exploring, you may want to pack rubber boots and bug spray due to the wet season we've had!

Depending on the time of year, there are several species of naturally occurring wildflowers visible along the well groomed trails such as Indian Paintbrush, Tiger Lilies, Marsh Marigolds, Wild Iris, Milkweed, Black-Eyed Susans, and more. The Saskatoon berries are plentiful in the early summer and the forest will takes on a red tinge later in the summer when the Cranberries emerge.

Though the rental cabins have their own lawn chairs, tables and firepits, there is a common area where we provide outdoor games, large fire-pit and seating areas.

We have a second cabin Micro Cabin in the Secluded Forest. If your date is booked, try it. Or better yet, get your friends together and book both!

Wonderful hosts. Beautiful and comfortable little cabin. Decor was so cute and whimsical. So many trails to explore with my dogs. Glorious woodlands and so peaceful. I felt there was no one in the world but myself , my dogs and the sight and sounds of the forest creatures. The best experience I have ever had. Thank you Sharon and Bob for creating this little piece of heaven.

Tiny Home Blue Owl Serenity
Bob and Sharon are the best hosts!!! They helped me find their property and were waiting at gate to escort me to the cabin. The cabin was so lovely peaceful and cozy. The groomed trails are a hiker’s and biker’s delight with kms of awesome terrain and scenery. The hosts were always available and so quick to help with any questions. My doggo was in canine heaven running outdoors and chasing blowing leaves! This place is a sanctuary and very well cared for and maintained. Highly recommend this beautiful spot! Thankyou Bob and Sharon for such a tranquil weekend!!!

A must see to get away from the city and enjoy the sounds of nature and minimalistic living. The dogs truly are at peace here and get the best nights sleep by walking the trails all day long.

Wonderful stay
My husband and I, our 5yo daughter, and our big dog enjoyed a few blissful nights in the Blue Owl house. It was wonderful. It was as close to camping as you can get, without sleeping in a tent. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and the trails around the property were fun. We liked it so much we will plan to be back next year!

Lovely cabin
My family of 3 and our dog stayed at the Tiny Cabin in July and loved it! The hosts were wonderful! Very friendly and helpful! The cabin was clean and lots of room for my family. The out house is not far (it’s very clean) and love that there is a porta potty next to the cabin for late night emergency nature calls! 😉 We walked up and down the trails while we were there. Even tried the bikes! It’s a lovely place to be. Very quiet and well maintained. Thank you to our lovely hosts for the wonderful experience. Hope to be back again next summer!

Another Wonderful Time ! ❤️
This was our second time staying here for july long and it was wonderful yet again. Never a disappointment! So much to do on the property and surrounding area never a dull moment. We have a toddler and a puppy and the space was safe for both. This is our new family tradition. Bob & Sharon and Brian are wonderful, easy to get ahold of if you have any questions and just overall great people to deal with. See you again next year ❤️
