2 sites · Lodging380 acres · Nipissing, ONOnyx’s Haven comprises of a 50 year old cedar log cabin situated on just under 400 acres of serene forested land that wraps around Duncan Lake in Nipissing Township. This solar power supported off grid property has allowed our family to escape from the hectic pace that fills our everyday life. A place to totally disconnect and unwind without the bother of email, social media and whatever else often pulls us away from what’s most important in our lives, making meaningful connections with those most important to us. And for times we need to work we can connect through the cabin's satellite internet while the kids play.
Being truly off grid also means NO running water, instead we harvest rain water for general use, and the lake is just steps away too.
You need to BRING drinking water.
Our off grid log cabin features NO indoor plumbing, instead have two charming outhouses.
The 1km gravel driveway does have a few protruding rocks, slow down, enjoy the fresh air and drive with care.
[Absolutely NO HUNTING OR TRAPPING permitted on the property].
