Our remote off grid property in the forest east of Eagle Lake is a great place to disconnect and decompress. The roadside Bunkie sleeps 4 and can accommodate a RV trailer or tent as well. Pets are welcome. The property has a pit toilet, and campfires are allowed in the designated pit. There is also potable water in the bin with an outdoor kitchen and BBQ area. In the winter water would have to be stored inside. Linen not provided. You’ll wake up surrounded by trees and can explore the great hiking, nature viewing, atv trails and boating in the summer months. In the winter enjoy glaming in the propane heated bunkie, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, snow machine trails at the door. Wildlife is all around. Several lakes and parks are nearby, including Mikisew Provincial Park on Eagle Lake, about 20 km south, where you can go boating, paddling, or swimming and Algonquin Provincial Park is close as well with many lakes and hiking trails. Some restaurants and stores can be found in the South River, about 20 km away.

Directions from the pin is a little off but Michelle and Carlton are very responsive and got us to the site very easily. Heater works wonderfully even on the low setting. Grill at the site worked too and was super grateful for the propane provided. Enclosed shower outside works hot and cold. Owners will provide directions on how-to. King lake road looked beautiful for walking and very secluded, all Fall season campers would enjoy this spot very much.

We really enjoyed our time at this beautiful and peaceful forest escape. The nights were cool, but the propane heater heated the whole space up quickly and effectively. The upstairs bed was comfortable and peaceful looking out over the trees. I spent most of my time in the hammocks. We appreciated the battery powered pump water in the outdoor kitchen. Thanks again to Michelle and Carlton for sharing their space.

It gets better

Off Grid Bunkie

This is the second time I've been to the cabin. New upgrades: a propnane-heated hot shower with 2 intake knobs that must be turned on and hot/cold temperatures adjusted; a battery-powered faucet that draws water from a spring water bottle; extra battery for charging smartphones and even computers. My visit was in early October and fall colours were in mid season. So photo opporturnites. Rye Road or King Lake Road which the site is located looked amazing. To operate the propane heater, hold down the right knob and turn to Pilot, hit the Ignite button repeated until there's a fire, keep holding Pilot knob for 30 seconds and release, then hold down Pilot and turn counterclockwise to adjust temperature. Don't forgot to open a window.

Camping with our pet and paddling

Off Grid Bunkie

This lodge is even better than it looks in the pictures. We had the best quiet time in the perfect woods. I was worried about the kitchen and shower but it was more convenient than I expected. I would give it a 10 out of 10 and will be back during the fall leaves season. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for some quiet time. We also loved paddling on Eagle Lake, which is a 10 minute far.

Weak to no cellphone reception. Solar power charges smartphones on most days with the 2 USB plugs in the red inverter, and even computers and power banks with the power bars on sunny days. There is a wooden kitchen platform with a patio, BBQ grill and sink. Kitchenware in the cabin. A private shower. A few jugs of spring water are provided. You can get a portable shower at Canadian Tire or Walmart and fill it with water at a car wash. The route from the south to the cabin is longer but more drivable then that from highway 522. A pickup truck or 4X4 can easily navigate either routes, but a car might get in from the south. Overall, awesome experience.
