77km from Mud Lake Delta Provincial Park · 1 siteSome places make you feel like you can finally breathe again. TinyRetreat is one of them.
Set on 2 private acres at the edge of Canada's Waterfall Park—Wells Gray Country, home to 42 named waterfalls, expansive lakes, and the Trophy Mountains—this cozy off-grid tiny house was built for one thing: letting your nervous system fully reset.
Step outside and you're met with open meadow bleeding into dense forest, the sound of a nearby creek, and air that genuinely smells different. Inside, it's simple, warm, and intentional—a lofted queen bed, a wood stove that crackles to life, a fridge and propane stove for real meals, and firewood already waiting for you. With an outhouse toilet tucked in the woods and drinking water provided, it's as close to off-grid as most people will ever get, with just enough comfort to make it feel like a treat rather than a test.
Then there's the sauna. A custom cedar electric sauna sitting right outside with forest views, yours alone to heat up and disappear into. Whether you're thawing out after a winter snowshoe or unwinding after a long day of chasing waterfalls—it changes everything.
What you'll do from here:
• Helmcken Falls: Canada's fourth-highest waterfall, plunging 141 metres into the canyon, is a short drive up Clearwater Valley Road.
• Spahats Creek Falls: A striking 75-metre cascade, just 10km from Clearwater.
• Dutch Lake: Under 10 minutes away for paddleboarding.
• Outdoor Trails: Mountain bike or cross-country ski just 5 minutes up the road.
• Seasonal Adventure: Snowshoe into the quiet in winter or hike wildflower meadows in summer.
• Stargazing: Sit at the firepit when the stars come out and do absolutely nothing.
Clearwater is a short drive for groceries, gas, and yes—a Tim Hortons if you need a WiFi fix. But most guests find they don't reach for their phone much once they arrive. Cell service is spotty. That's not a bug. (Though there are bugs in the summer... come prepared!)
This is a place for two (or a solo traveler who knows what they need). A full exhale is hard to find—this is where to take it.
