Cottontail Cabin
7. Cottontail Cabin
79km from Green Gables Heritage Place · 1 site
Escape to a simple off-grid bunkie tucked into the woods on a private oceanfront property in southeastern Prince Edward Island.
This is a peaceful place to unplug, slow down, and enjoy nature. A short woodland trail leads to a quiet sandy beach that’s perfect for walking, swimming, beachcombing, or watching the sunrise.
The bunkie is compact but comfortable, with a queen bed, small kitchenette, seating area, solar power, Starlink Wi-Fi, and a private bathroom with a shower and composting toilet. Outside you’ll find a deck overlooking the forest and a vintage clawfoot outdoor tub with hot and cold water.
Please note that this is an off-grid accommodation. Power comes from solar, so guests are asked to be mindful of electricity use. The setting is rustic rather than luxurious, and you’ll likely encounter birds, frogs, rabbits, foxes, and other local wildlife. Mosquitoes can also be part of the experience at certain times of year, so bringing insect repellent is recommended.
If you’re looking for polished resort accommodations, this probably isn’t the right fit. But if you enjoy quiet mornings, star-filled skies, the sound of the ocean, and the feeling of having your own little corner of the woods, we think you’ll love it.
We’re continually improving the property, and we’d be delighted to welcome guests who appreciate simple, peaceful places surrounded by nature.
Raised bed veggie garden onsite to pick fresh vegetables or use our equipment to walk the beach and dig for clams, then pop into the nearby vineyard/winery to sample local wines.
We are just a few minutes from the Wood Islands visitor center, local seafood restaurants, candy/ice cream store and liquor store, and an award winning Vineyard. We are a five minute drive from the Wood Islands ferry to Nova Scotia.
Queen size bed, kitchen with hot and cold water, full sized fridge and freezer, single burner propane hot plate, standard size shower with hot and cold water—compost toilet. Gorgeous vintage outdoor garden bathtub with hot water in the garden.
No ocean view or beach access but a charming sandy public beach is just 2 miles away.

Ruth’s place out on the coast is beautiful! A welcomed respite during a long road trip camping our way out east. Waking up to the sound of the ocean waves in the Easy Street cabin was the cherry on top. Everything here is well stocked, great to have an outdoor shower, and nice to chat with Ruth. Stay here!

Just wow. Had the most relaxing evening at the Owl's Nest with my family. Cooked fresh salmon over the wood stove, played board games over candlelight, and the best part....... We saw a momma and baby owl perched in the woods. We are so lucky!

We had a great two night stay at the Owl's Nest cabin. Helmut answered all of our questions before we left and transported us to the cabin to show us around the cabin and property. Cabin is secluded and off-grid. Our dog was not a fan of the steep stairs to the loft. Don't forget to bring your orange vest and remember to check for ticks. Highly recommend for those looking for a quiet getaway.

We absolutely loved our stay at Owl’s Nest! Helmut treated you like family, sharing his experiences tending the forest and the cabin that he built. If you’re looking for a place to get off-grid, connect with nature, and be able to explore the many trails just outside your door, this is the place! We especially appreciated how the land was private, so that we could let our pup explore without worrying about running into any other dog owners. It was a great to share this cabin and we will certainly be coming back!

Ruth's place is amazing. If you want a quiet and private place with the most beautiful view, this is it. I loved it. The outdoor shower is amazing (and big enough for two), plus the screened in porch so no bugs! Lots of bunnies, sea gulls, little bitty squirrels with attitude that'll make you laugh.

Magical. Quiet. Private. Beautiful. I totally enjoyed my getaway to Ruth's "Easy Street" hipcamp. Right on the water and away from the world, it was exactly the getaway location I'd hoped for, so I even stayed an extra day. The outdoor shower is fantastic. The endless changing beauty from sunrise to sunset will amaze you. I plan to return next year.

Ruth welcomed me for my weekend stay as her very first Hipcamp guest, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The property sits just steps from the water and a nearby beach, and it’s well set up with a full kitchen (complete with a pizza oven!).
She provided much-needed coffee and great conversation, which made the stay feel extra warm and personal. I even got to use the pizza oven with fresh dough I picked up from a local pizza truck.
Ruth was an absolutely wonderful host, and I’d definitely stay here again. All around, an amazing spot.

Helmut was so nice, and his cabin was exceptional. We were nested into the forrest, cut from the rest of the world. The cabin has everything you need, including a pump and head shower, perfect for a quick wash. I would definitely recommend!

Besides being the cabin weve ever been to, this cabin is perfect to get away from it all. We really felt recharged and rested and able to reconnect with nature. We saw plenty of different birds, including a flock of Cedar Waxwings and Woodpeckers. The wild blackberries also make for a delicious treat while exploring the surroundings. The atmosphere inside the cabin, during day or night, compares to no other. It is a pleasure for the senses and its solid wood structure has hints Alpine Forest wilderness.
You can not go wrong booking the owl's nest.

Beautiful location. Serene and perfect for dropping off the face of the planet for a moment. Birdsong was beautiful. You have everything you need at the cabin to function as a normal human. Just no wifi and low cell service, which is perfect. And I am assuming it might be a little stuffy upstairs on really hot days- I was afraid I'd be chilly at night but it was really the opposite- a little warm. (I went in early July) To get to the coastal area from here, it's about a 25 minute walk down a dirt road- thought that was notable because I was worried about ticks but the path/road isn't too grassy or anything. If you go on the trails though, I'm sure the bugs and ticks might be more of a concern so might need boots/ clothing to cover up. The coast is along a main road and is mostly rocky so make sure to go out during low tide. Bring bug spray! The mosquitos are no joke. Thanks Helmut for creating this space for others to be able to get away from it all! 10/10 recommend- just be prepared for the elements.

We stayed here for our last night of our trip from Ontario to the Maritimes. HUGE forest plus the most amazing views of the Northumberland Strait with the warmest saltwater we found anywhere on the East Coast. The Owl's Nest Cabin is nestled deep in the woods a cool 10 min ride from where we parked the car and Helmut took us on his side by side with all our gear and came to pick us up again in the morning. The beautiful wood cabin built by Helmut with wood from his lot was an amazing place to rest our heads (even with the moose crashing through the woods at night!). We wish we could have stayed longer and will definitely book again.
