You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Green, unique, comfortable, open loft cabin

Welcome to an exquisite, eco-friendly way of vacationing and getting away from it all! From its solar water heat to the recycled lumber, this cabin packs many eco-sensitive features to bring you comfort in style. Its artistic flair can be experienced in everything in the handcrafted countertops, the exquisite tree staircase, and right down to the mosaic bathroom floor. You'll be pleasantly toasty in the winter with the radiant heat and gas fireplace. Plenty of windows and open floorplan keeps the space light-filled throughout the day.

Need to unwind? Let the jacuzzi massage the tension away. Read a book in the airy loft. Watch a DVD. Or simply take a walk to the neighboring Cameron House (on the same property).

Biking, canoeing, trout fishing, hiking, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, are a few activities for you to enjoy on your vacation.

Eco Sensitive: This cabin was built in 2008 using sustainably harvested trees. The roof substructure and all major beams were repurposed from older buildings in the area. The building is mainly insulated with a green, soy-based spray foam insulation which keeps the interior warm and quiet.

The radiant heat and water heating system is powered through a solar / gas-boiler combination system. All makes for a quiet, even heat that foot-warming friendly. It keeps the air more comfortable and less dusty in the winter when compared to forced-air systems. This is a boon for those with indoor allergies and asthma.

Not so squeaky clean
5 ladies arrived for a reunion weekend. The place is incredibly unique, almost like a museum in and of itself, and in a nice secluded location. We were not informed of the elevated nitrate levels in the water, so we went out to purchase drinking water. All went well until we were awoken by mice in the middle of the night. The owner quickly responded and brought traps so they should be taken care of. Overall, the house needs a thorough cleaning, dusting, cobweb removal, and decluttering. But it is exceptionally rustic and has incredible potential.

Great cabin!
This was our second stay at this cabin, both times for a family reunion in the area. A very spacious cabin with all of the amenities and we loved spending time here after very active days with the rest of our large family. We had a couple of minor plumbing issues that were dealt with quickly by the owner. Would recommend this cabin!

Family reunion
We attended our 43rd annual family reunion took place on Saturday July 6th at Sunset Lake. We invited local families to visit at the Raindance cabin so that we could get some personal time with them. It worked out great. The cabin was perfect for our visitors. Hope we can do this again next year.

Weekend Recharge
Great place to relax no matter the weather. We spent a weekend here and enjoyed just relaxing by the fireplace, in the hot tub, and sitting by the river. We also ventured out to some nearby hiking trails and had breakfast both mornings in Amherst.

This was just perfect for a group of friends to play board games and catch trout. Cozy just secluded enough to feel like we were away, we enjoyed every moment. A hidden gem for sure.

Great isolated location
We had been here before, but about 10 years ago. The cabin is decorated with great care, and well stocked. Since the trees are now grown, it takes on a immense sense of isolation - a big plus in our opinion. Stores, restaurants, and parks nearby, so it's not remote. But if you're looking for solitude, this is the place.
