New at the Cabin....

I've decided to charge $10 a bed this year for linens. I will even make the bed up for you so it is ready and waiting for your arrival!!! Sorry, no little chocolate. I love chocolate too much to share!!!!

Another thing is the new hammock that is located in the green, once was a garbage, bin down by the swimming hole. I spent last nasty Ontario winter in Mexico looking for this hammock for your enjoyment!!! I know you will nap in it!!!

The last note of interest is that the river is really high this year. In our 15 years here, we have never seen it this high. It makes swimming a challenge!!! It isn't deep but oh those rocks!!!! Hopefully we will get back our swimming hole by July. Hey, that is next week!!!

We only have a few openings for July. Please don't wait until the last minute to book. As you plan your summer, come to The Rustic Cabin in August or the beautiful month of September.

OR, you could try out our Barber's Cottage at www.thebarberscottage.blogspot.com  which has more availability in July.

Hope to see you here or there, soon!!!

Changes to the Kitchen and a Raging River

Gone are those lovely royal blue kitchen cupboards!!! A new look for 2014. New rugs to match the cupboards. We think you will like the change.

What an interesting spring. The river is as high now as it usually is in April. This is the swimming hole!!! You can't see the rocks that delineate the swimming hole right now. We have had a lot of rain which has brought the water level to this unusual height.

This is the raging river as seen from the bridge. Not our usual scene at this time of year.

We have limited availability for July but August has some larger space available. 2013 was a fantastic year for The Rustic Cabin. This year we have many people returning again and are delighted to be welcoming new guests even from as far away as Europe. This is a special location for the "right" people. People who are truly looking for somewhere different, nature, privacy, tranquility and peace.

Availability Calendar

We don't have an availability calendar right now so just email to vassheekey@bell.net or call 705 636-1679. Sorry about this inconvenience!!!!

Hey You Winter Enthusiasts!!!!

This picture was taken in December. There is way more snow here now or so I have heard!!! Ray returned from Mexico on Jan.17th and now when you visit this winter he will have the cabin all warm and toasty for you!!! He has also blown a trail to the cabin which makes hauling your gear much easier. If you are looking for a different experience and want to come for an adventure drop me an email at sheekey@bell.net . Our reservation calendar is down so you will have to email or call to get a heads up on availability

Please note: You have to have good winter tires and/or a 4 wheel drive vehicle to be able to get back up our driveway. You will have to haul wood to the cabin from the woodshed and water from the house if you want it to be provided. Thanks, Val

A Season Change....

Here's another pic of the cabin inside. The living room area.

The dining room area with the open guest book. Love it when you write in the guest book. We have many shy guests who want to keep their presence a secret. Hey, if there is jam on the table, it is for you as a welcome to the cabin gift and just in case you forgot to bring food!!!!

The river is as high today as it is normally in the spring. Raging. Not quiet at all. Very unusual for this time of year. Maybe the river is protesting the coming of winter. We have already had snow. This week the laneway to the cabin is still open but not sure how long that will last.

 

 

This is the view from the porch of the house. All the leaves are down not except for the tamaracks. Their golden needles are still on the trees.

 

This has been an amazing year for the cabin. We have never been so busy with guests. Great guests I must say. Many folks have spoken of wanting to come in the winter so now we will wait and see who the truly brave are. Winter is wonderful but you need to be hardy here in the north. You will have to walk your gear in. Start the woodstove. It will take a couple of hours to get the cabin warm. The cabin is well insulated except for the floor so bring snuggy footwear. What an adventure awaits. Oh, don't forget, you will need WINTER tires and a 4x4 vehicle would also be an asset. All weather tires will not cut it on our driveway!!!! Looking forward to your visit........



Fall Beautiful Fall....

I so need to update the pics of the inside of the cabin. Things change and I get used to the change and then realize I haven't documented it!!! Yes, that is a real bear skin hanging there. It came from Manitoba. The kitchen area is to the left. The living room to the right and the dining table to the left behind the picture taker. We are going to have some nice sunny days coming this week so I intend to take more pics.......... We will see how well that goes.

It is so hard to catch the glory of the colours. It has been fabulous this week. There have been a number of tour buses driving around the neighbourhood. Seems strange to us that people pay money and need guides to come and look at our leaves!!!!

The picture below is right here close to the house. It was glowing with colour this week.

The Latest addition to the cabin......

We recently received this wonderful stained glass piece and decided the best place for it was in the cabin!!! Sure hope you like it too.

This has been an amazingly busy year at The Rustic Cabin. It has been great fun to see returning guests and to meet many for the first time. We have the most wonderful people come and stay at our cabin. It continues to be a place of refuge for those looking for something different, quiet, relaxing and magical. Come sleep, paint, draw, write, walk, swim, float in the river, listen, enjoy. Create and be a part of creation.
