The Escape Pod - No Neighbors, Pet Friendly, Private, Wildlife

This cabin site is tucked into the forest at the base of the Deacon Escarpment with a view of the Bonnechere Valley Hills. It is a 10 min hike to the Escarpment Lookout, and roughly a 25 min hike to your canoe on a small lake. There is a picnic table, firepit, outdoor gazebo bar, seasonal outdoor shower and private outhouse. The cabin comes with a map of 30km of trails for you to hike or snowshoe. No neighbours within 500m in any direction. Possibility of occasional guest cars going past.

Guest access
Campers and their pets have access to all of our hiking trails with the exception of trails marked "Private Trail" leading to individual campsites and cabins--we do our best to ensure privacy:) You can drive your vehicle to this cabin other than winter, 550m from the winter parking area.
There are 3 other private cabins on this property, the "Algonquin Wolf," "Trackers Cabin," and the "Sarah Lesley;" all 3 are 4 season, off-grid with solar power.
Other things to note
Our nature trails are mostly hilly, so be prepared for a climb up, but enjoy the hike down on the way back. There is a picnic table lookout area at the top for a picnic or rest. There are steep drops in places. Please keep an eye on your children! The trails below the escarpment are more forested and have little or no hills. They are excellent for viewing birds and seeing animal tracks.
Cell service available: cabins and campsites are located close to a cell tower. Well-behaved pets are welcome. Please keep them close or on a leash so that they do not chase the deer:)

Quiet, cozy cabin in the Bonnechere Valley
The property was nicely secluded, with multiple trails leading up to the top of the escarpment with a lovely view of Golden Lake. The cabin itself was clean and cozy, and the AC was perfect for sleeping as we went in a 35° July heatwave. Great little fire pit with affordable firewood supplied by the hosts. Be mindful of leaving any dry food in the screened-in kitchenette if going out for more than an hour -- the local chipmunks are hungry and know what they're looking for. Only minor complaint was the outdoor shower. Was expecting a wall-mounted, electrically-pumped shower connected to rain barrels (and the welcome binder in the cabin had instructions for such), but instead there was a pump sprayer with a garden hose attachment -- worked well for cleaning up, but my girlfriend wasn't thrilled. All in all, a great spot in the Bonnechere Valley if you're looking for something nicer than tent camping but are still willing to give up the amenities of the city. Even better if you bring your own kayak or paddleboard to hit up the Bonnechere River.
