What is an off-grid glamping cabin?

An off-grid glamping cabin combines the adventure of camping with the glamour and comfort of a cozy rustic cabin. It offers a unique retreat experience amidst nature, without traditional amenities like electricity or running water, making it an attractive option for unplugging from modern life and reconnecting by immersing in the wilderness as a 1st-time settler in Canada.

What's the advantage of glamping over traditional camping?

Off-grid glamping maintains the thrill of the camping experience with the comfort of a rustic mountain cabin. It offers an adventurous escape off the beaten path in the heart of nature but in more convenient accommodations without conventional amenities, which precisely adds to the allure of the back-to-basics experience. This makes it an attractive option for getting away from city life to enjoy more genuine moments with loved ones, and connecting in a more essential way with the things that matter most in life, in a more comfortable stay.

Where are the cabins located?

They’re located just an hour north of Ottawa, Hull, and Gatineau via the #5 highway, in the natural adventure haven of Gatineau Valley. Nestled in the heart of the Gatineau Hills within the Outaouais region of Quebec, this area uniquely stands out for its unrivaled proximity to Canada’s capital city, with the stunning backdrop of Mont Ste-Marie resort and Lac Sainte-Marie municipality.

How can we keep wildlife from surprising us inside the cabin?

To keep things tidy and ensure our little forest friends stay outside exploring their own habitat, it's best to refrain from leaving dirty dishes on the back porch or putting leftover food in the steel garbage can next to the cabin. Instead, it's recommended disposing of leftover food by burning it in the fire pit. Keeping all doors closed at night and the back door shut when not in use can help prevent curious critters like squirrels, mice, and ants from joining us indoors by entering the cabin!
