Private Lakefront. Completely Off-Grid Cabin for Couples to Unwind

Welcome to Forever Wild Retreat! Designed for those couples wishing to escape the busy of the city. "Disconnect and Reconnect" all at the same time. Our private spring fed lake waterfront cabin awaits!

Please note this cabin is COMPLETELY OFF GRID. NO RUNNING WATER, NO SHOWER. Endless potable water is provided for cooking and drinking. Generator and battery powered lanterns throughout the cabin for light at night. Pretty outside outhouse (bathroom) steps from cabin.

You will arrive at the main house and will need to be escorted down a 1/2 km trail (accessible by car May-Nov) behind the house to your lakeside cabin. A quick review of all the cabin amenities and how to use them (sometimes off grid can be intimidating but rest assured you will feel comfortable with it when we leave you!) will be provided by the owners and any questions answered.

PLEASE NOTE: NOV-MAY car access may not be possible if you do not have snow tires AND all wheel drive. In these cases, we leave your vehicle at the main house and transport you and your gear to the cabin by 4x4. You are always also welcome to hike in should you prefer.

THINGS TO BRING:
Food
Ice and Cooler (a YETI cooler is also on site with ice blocks)
Campfire Wood
Bug Spray (May-Aug)
Clothes
Fishing Pole and lures or worms if desired
Paper Plates (if you don't want to do as many dishes)

All bedroom linens, cookware, utensils are provided as well as a BBQ and Gas Cooktop!

Endless drinkable water is provided and lots of LED lanterns for light at night, as well as a back up generator should you wish to use. Gas is provided.

There is no campfire wood provided but you are welcome to bring your own if you wish or there is a gentleman who sells it for $6/bag about 1/2 km east of our driveway on the north side of road.

There is a woodstove in the cabin (your heat source) and wood is provided for that.

Check in is any time after 3pm.

We kindly ask that you give us a heads up as to your estimated time of arrival so we can be here to meet you at the main house and guide you down the back path to the cabin.

We can be reached by message anytime before or during your stay should you have any further questions!

We look forward to hosting you and meeting soon!

A beautiful off-the-grid gem

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, the place was beautiful, clean, and had many local artisans touches. The hosts were great to communicate with and provided any information we needed. It’s a great place to bring kids with the bunk bed room and stuffed animals. We’d stay here again.
