“One of the most amazing trips I have been on in the Canadian wilderness. We had great guides who were very knowledgeable about Canadian wildlife. The Log Cabin we stayed in was very beautiful, clean and felt like home. The food there was exceptional.”

“Off the grid” means that our cabin is not hooked up to the Provincial power ” grid . We do have limited power from our solar solar panels and batteries.
There is no reliable cell service or WIFI at the log cabin.
We do have limited solar power for lights and our water pressure.
There are two indoor bathrooms for the guests to use in the Log Cabin with flushing toilets. All of the water in the building comes from our well and is filtered for drinking before reaching the faucet.
There is a shower in the shower/sauna house which has been fitted with an electric pump on solar power to increase the water pressure.

Solo travelers are welcome! Our groups have up to 12 guests per trip. Everyone becomes fast friends while canoeing and hiking!
There are as many as 14 guests on each trip and three staff members. Our guests range in age and nationality, with the majority visiting from Europe. We do our best to sort our guests into like-demographics (ie: families together; adults together). 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 four hours (walking pace) at a time. While travelling in the backcountry, we make frequent stops for snacks, hydration, toilet, and to admire the gorgeous views!

Whether you are in the backcountry or in our Algonquin Log Cabin, you will be served appetizers, main courses, and desserts. Our guests are consistently impressed with our elevated cuisine.
