Reviews
Peaceful get-away
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cabin. We would highly recommend it for anybody looking to have a peaceful get-away from the normal everyday rush of life. The wooden interior gives a warm welcome, as well as the fireplace. The owners are absolutely lovely people who have put so much love and thought into this cabin. The windows bring in bright natural lighting. Tucked away among the trees, this cabin is a gem.

Relax in Your Off-Grid Home Away-from-Home
By accommodating for a variety of sensitivities, this back-to-basics home allows people to step away from the influences of the city and relax and experience for themselves whether their home environment may be affecting them in negative ways.
Here are some of the ways that this cabin is different than a typical home, bed-and-breakfast, or short-term rental:
- Surrounded by nature so positive energies envelop the cabin.
- Simple building materials and natural cleaning products which may be appropriate for people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS). Contact us to discuss details of your needs.
- Large east-facing windows let in lots of sunshine.
- Nearly radio-silent to allow for a good night's sleep. Though this is important, many people do not experience it regularly. This entire building inside and out meets level of no concern building biology guidelines for sleeping areas established by the Institute of Building Biology. In order to preserve this signal-free environment we require guests to abide by our no wireless signals rule.
- Metal-free bed allows you to sleep better because it does not disrupt earth's gentle magnetic field.
- Natural firelight in the woodstove and similar-coloured light from simple flashlights help you get ready to sleep.
Owner's story:
Eight years ago, while living in a high-rise condo, I was struggling with debilitating health issues. Eventually my wife and I started to realize that my symptoms seemed to be tied to my exposure to wireless and electro-magnetic signals. To test the theory I went to stay in a low-signal location and my symptoms quickly started to disappear, only to re-appear when I went back to the condo! A family doctor suggested I move and see a naturopath, so we did. We stayed at rural short-term rental houses, and eventually bought our own home in the country. We have this cabin on the same property to help other people who are struggling with similar issues.
