Owner Rob Cosco is an avid outdoorsman and interested in earth friendly technologies such as solar power, composting and earth-sheltered designs. He incorporates this passion into his cabins. Solar power provides light at the flick of a switch. A stone, wood burning fireplace heats up a sauna and wraparound water jacket for standing sponge baths. An airtight stove heats the two bedroom cabins.
Propane runs the cook stove, barbecue and fridge.
A hand pump supplies lake water to two stainless-steel sinks in the kitchen. Vegetable clippings and leftovers are composted outside while odourless composting toilets are inside cabin bathrooms. Although the cabins have no floor covering, towels or bedding, they're better than rustic and equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable stay. Besides, the setting is beyond reproach. Cabins can accommodate groups of up to eight, but are most comfortable for two to four adults, or one family per cabin.
