Off-Grid Tiny Cabin in Ottawa Takes You Back to the Basics


This post contains affiliate links.

Looking for the perfect, cozy place to stay this winter? This Ottawa Cabin on the Bay couldn’t get much better with its wood-burning stove and secluded location.

Despite being tucked in a private spot in the woods, it’s nearby to all the amenities you could need. It is off-grid, but solar power keeps the lights on and allows you to charge a phone. There’s no running water, but an outhouse gives you a place to go. Inside you’ll find a small kitchenette for making coffee and maybe some pancakes, and up the ladder is the cozy loft bedroom. You can book a stay on Airbnb or follow the cabin on Instagram.

Highlights:

  • Off-the-grid, meaning there is no running water, but there is electricity powered by solar-energy
  • Cabin is completely lit and you are able to charge devices (i.e., phone). Please do not charge larger devices, as this will drain the battery quite quickly.
  • No WIFI
  • Out-house with a compostable toilet.
  • We also provide our guests with drinking water, as well as any water needed to cook and clean dishes.
  • Cabin is heated with a very efficient wood stove.
  • The kitchenette is well stocked with dishes, cooking utensils, a coffee press and some basic cooking needs (i.e., spices, flour, salt, pepper, sugar).
  • Small stove-top for cooking.
  • Fire pit beside the cabin

    Love this cabin! But how does one bathe? All good if the method is a washcloth and a basin, just wondering. The loft and everything about this build is inviting. No matter the season, I would love to spend (lots and lots of) time there.
