50km from Nepean · 1 site
❄️ Cliffside Cabin at The Off Grid Ark — The Romantic, Cozy Winter Getaway in Western Quebec If you’ve ever dreamed of waking up to a quiet, snow-covered forest, this is your spot. Perched on a west-facing cliff at The Off Grid Ark, this rustic shelter is fully winter-ready. A whisper-quiet diesel heater, mounted safely outside, keeps the cabin warm all night while you sleep surrounded by nature. Outside, a propane deck heater makes it easy to enjoy coffee or dinner under the stars. A Cuisinart tabletop propane BBQ cooks fast and clean — perfect for winter gloves and simple meals. You’ll have the entire property to yourselves. Once you step onto the trails, you won’t see other guests — just forest, snow, and quiet. Explore 10 km of private snowshoe trails, including 5 km of groomed routes through maple forest, ridgelines, and along the lakeshore, plus 5 km of quieter, backcountry-style trails. A winter highlight is the hike straight across the frozen lake, beneath towering granite cliffs rising from the shoreline. Snowshoes are available on site. Dogs absolutely love it here. With the entire property private, they can safely run, explore, and play off leash, following snowy trails, sniffing forest edges, and curling up by the fire at the end of the day. The shelter includes a queen bed with fresh flannel linens and a down duvet, plus space for tents around the firepit if you’d like a group setup. Kids and pets stay free — just leave it like you found it. The covered deck has handcrafted rocking chairs for sunset views, while your private fire area below is perfect for marshmallows and stargazing. We’re also building a new bunkhouse nearby for families and groups — part of our long-term vision for year-round outdoor education and adventure. There’s no electricity or running water, but you’ll have LED lights, a Jackery battery bank for devices, and a Bluetooth speaker. A cooler, lanterns, jugs of clean well water, and a clean outhouse are provided. Wildlife is plentiful — deer, foxes, loons, and the occasional wolf howl in the distance. I’ll haul your gear by ATV, so bring what you need and settle in. Come unplug, warm up, and experience the stillness of winter at The Off Grid Ark — where comfort meets true off-grid adventure.
