Private Lakefront. Completely Off-Grid Cabin for Couples to Unwind
Welcome to Forever Wild Retreat! Designed for those couples wishing to escape the busy of the city. "Disconnect and Reconnect" all at the same time. Our private spring fed lake waterfront cabin awaits!
Please note this cabin is COMPLETELY OFF GRID. NO RUNNING WATER, NO SHOWER. Endless potable water is provided for cooking and drinking. Generator and battery powered lanterns throughout the cabin for light at night. Bucket toilet located inside and pretty outside outhouse steps from cabin.
You will arrive at the main house and will need to be escorted down a 1/2 km trail (accessible by car May-Nov) behind the house to your lakeside cabin. A quick review of all the cabin amenities and how to use them (sometimes off grid can be intimidating but rest assured you will feel comfortable with it when we leave you!) will be provided by the owners and any questions answered.
PLEASE NOTE: NOV-MAY car access may not be possible if you do not have snow tires AND all wheel drive. In these cases, we leave your vehicle at the main house and transport you and your gear to the cabin by 4x4. You are always also welcome to hike in should you prefer.
The cabin is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, a kitchen island, and a dining table.

A beautiful off-the-grid gem
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, the place was beautiful, clean, and had many local artisans touches. The hosts were great to communicate with and provided any information we needed. It’s a great place to bring kids with the bunk bed room and stuffed animals. We’d stay here again.
