Off the grid living
This is a great getaway for people looking to try that rustic living . The solar is not the most reliable but the generator back up makes it easy to charge the batteries.

we had a good stay
Nice cabin, comfortable and a beautiful setting. The lake is very nice with little activity, totally quiet, not another cabin within sight. This was our first experience at off-grid and that presented some challenges. The road from town to the cabin is not suitable for a low slung car, 4 or AWD would be best.

Relaxing & secluded retreat in lakefront cabin
You can spend the day canoeing on the lake or off-roading with you ATV or Jeep on the surrounding trails. Nights under the stars by the camp fire listening to nature sounds. I wanted a relaxing trip off the beaten path and this place delivered. The cabin had everything needed for my stay, right down to the boat shoes and bug spray. Host did a great job setting the place up for a truly authentic and memorable experience.
