It means that Nipissing Cottage is not like most homes that are hooked up to the Ontario Power Electricity Grid. Rather, solar panels harness the energy from the sun and store it in batteries that allow us to operate very comfortably on solar power. We are very proud of this sustainable approach. We do, of course, have a back up generator on-site should we have any issues with the system.
Yes, we operate on solar electricity. Our fridges are powered by solar electricity and our stoves and water heaters on propane gas. We recommend bringing spare batteries for any devices when you visit!
Yes, we provide towels and linens. We provide bath towels but not beach towels. If you think you might need some additional towels, we would advise you to bring some spare ones (as per our sustainability policy) as we do not provide extras.
Yes there is wifi at the Nipissing and at our base the Outfitter less than km away.
You only need to bring your personal items: clothing, toiletries, and cameras. A complete list of what to bring will be emailed to you.
Our guests range in age and nationality. We welcome all – solo traelers, couples/friends, and groups…. It’s not unusual for guests to be trading emails at the end of their trips – it’s easy to make friends when you’re having so much fun!
You do not require any prior experience. We host a range of guests from first-timers to grizzled outdoors people every week. Our pace is relaxed and the objective is to have fun, slow down, and leave plenty of time to explore the beauty of the Algonquin area.
You should be able to be active for up to 2-4 hours (walking pace) at a time. Consult with your physician should you have any medical conditions that may put you at risk from overheating while in a sauna or from an abrupt change in temperature from cool/cold plunging.
