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.
So what will you have to bring? Here is a list :
- Your own food & drink
- Your own towels, sheets, pillows, pillow cases and blankets
