What you need to know about Cabinscape
The Outside
Ready to experience the ultimate off-grid retreat? The Mica Cabin is one of Cabinscape’s most remote cabin to date! Nestled in the breathtaking Tay Valley, this cabin is perched on Rideau Valley Conservation land, offering you the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Imagine waking up to the tranquil sound of nature and gazing out at the lake right outside your window. And if there is one thing Cabinscape does well, it’s windows. You might be warm and cozy inside, but with all the large windows, you’ll feel like you are tucked in right between the trees! And guess what? There is no neighbors in sight. The Rhya Cabin, located just 400 meters away, is your nearest neighbor, but honestly I couldn’t even spot it! Privacy and comfort intertwine beautifully here.
Warning // You will need a 4WD/AWD vehicle to access this site. If you do not have access to a 4WD/AWD vehicle, you will need to hike-in (1 km from the parking lot). Note also that the route to the cabin is not accessible by car at all in the winter.
Outside, you’ll also find a BBQ and a large fire pit surrounded by cozy chairs with a gorgeous view on the lake. The Mica Cabin even has a canoe and life jackets at your disposal to explore the lake!
The Inside
On the inside, this cozy cabin is thoughtfully designed, ensuring that every detail is taken care of. It has a fully equipped kitchen with a gaz stove top, a deep sink and a pull out table. But my favorite part was the pass-through window which provides the opportunity to enjoy your meals both indoors and outdoors.
Warning // The water from the sink is not drinkable, however Cabinscape has you covered and provides drinking water for your stay!
Despite its compact size, the Mica Cabin feels surprisingly roomy, thanks to the clever use of space. You’ll find comfortable bunk beds that can sleep up to four people. And my favorite part, there is a toilette inside the cabin. I’m all for adding a touch of luxury to your outdoor adventure! In the summer you can even enjoy the outdoor hot-water shower!
Although there is not Wifi connexion, there are some powerplugs for small devices. It is enough, for example, to charge your phone and computer!
What to bring for your stay with Cabinscape?
Cabinscape has got you covered when it comes to making your adventure in the Mica Cabin absolutely incredible! They provide all the basic kitchen supplies you’ll need, so you can focus on bringing the groceries to create a delicious meal. You’ll have cookware, utensils, salt, pepper, oil, vinegar, tinfoil, and plastic wrap at your fingertips. And to ensure you can kickstart your day right, they even include a kettle, a coffee press, and coffee for those much-needed caffeine boosts!
When it comes to toiletries, Cabinscape has thought of everything. They provide hair and body wash, as well as hand soap and dish soap.

5 Things I Wish I Knew Before Exploring Ontario
I’ve lived in Ontario for 10 years and spent the last 5 years chasing waterfalls, hiking trails, and paddling through its endless lakes. And let me tell you—this province is massive, a little buggy, and absolutely worth the hype. But there are a few things I wish I knew before I started exploring. 👇🏼
1️⃣ It’s HUGE—Plan Your Routes
Ontario is bigger than Spain and France combined—no joke. If you’re planning to visit Toronto and then make a “quick stop” at Sleeping Giant to hike Top of the Giant, think again—it’s a 15-hour drive one way. 😅 Pro tip: Plan your routes and book stays early if you’re traveling in summer or fall.
2️⃣ Pack for Every Season
Ontario’s weather has a personality disorder. Summers are hot, but spring and fall can be unpredictable, and winters? Freezing. ❄️ Layers are your best friend, and don’t forget rain gear if you’re chasing waterfalls. Trust me, soggy socks are not the vibe.
3️⃣ Provincial Parks = Must-See Gems
With over 300 parks, Ontario is a playground for nature lovers. Favorites like Algonquin, Killarney, and Bon Echo are perfect for hiking, paddling, and camping. Just book early—especially in summer, when campsites disappear faster than your phone signal in the backcountry.
4️⃣ Bring Bug Spray (Lots of It!)
Ontario’s forests and lakes are stunning, but they also come with mosquitoes and black flies—especially in spring and early summer. Pack bug spray, long sleeves, and hats unless you want to become a snack. 🦟
5️⃣ Paddle Your Way to Hidden Gems
Some of Ontario’s best spots can’t be reached by car or foot—you’ll need a canoe or kayak to get there! 🌊✨ Think remote islands, secret beaches, and quiet coves. If you’re up for an adventure, renting a canoe is 100% worth it.
What’s your favorite spot in Ontario? Or what’s still on your bucket list? Let me know below! 👇🏼
📌 Save this for trip planning, ❤️ if you love nature escapes, and share with your adventure buddy! 🥾🌲
