The Outhouse Story

When you don't have hydro or running water, you need an outhouse. Ours is lovely. I always tell people that it has a beautiful view as it is three sided. It does have a roof and floor!!! There is no door. Our outhouse is odourless. Should an odour ever develop we can solve the problem with chemicals ( not our usual way to deal with things ) or by adding wood chips or wood ash to the mix. Works like a charm!!!!


One of our guests in the past left a portapotti which is quite a convenient luxury in the middle of the night. It will be in pristine condition when you arrive and that will be the expectation on your departure.

Every spring we clean the "debris" from down the hole. I'd hate to make a list of what we have discovered!!! Please do not use baby wipes. They do not decompose at all!!! Yuck!!! And if you drop a bottle down there be sure to include your name so we can send it back to you!!!! Toilet paper etc. only please!!!!

The outhouse is a pleasant stroll from the cabin. Out of sight in the bush and a great place to pick up kindling on the way to or from for the woodstove.
