You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
1/2 acre nature retreat -- cottage life with extra privacy
Closed until the warmer weather returns: Booking for 2023. July and August now available weekly.
This unique property is tucked into forest. Enjoy bird life; swim, boat, frolic with nearby access to Newboro Lake (canoe, kayaks, row boat, bikes, large standup paddleboard available at no charge); and discover small town cottage life with many restaurants/activities close by. Your converted boat into tiny cabin; outdoor large gazebo; and summer kitchen make a simple cabin life easy.
Turtle cabin is a real delight. Boat builder John and artistic Jane have created a memorable and delightful space. Rest easy on the memory foam bed. Have your morning coffee in the booth with window over the forest. Lounge on the deck. Play in the gazebo at night. Summer kitchen inspired by cabin and off grid life with the benefits of electricity and running water. Ask about the "Burro" mini camper for second bedroom use. And coming in 2023 the very private Shangri-La: a secluded bedroom with a great view of forest for singles. Additional fees apply.
Lots to do in the area. Westport has restaurants, music and bars. Many shoppes, good cycle routes, hiking trails galore with Cataraqui trails and Foley Mountain Conservation area.
Your tiny cabin is secluded and private. Ideal for readers, writers and nature lovers looking to chill out and relax. Walk into the woods with the provided tent pop up to enjoy your forest meditation experience.
Note: water is good for showers, cleaning but we recommend and provide spring water for cooking and drinking.
We prefer weekly rentals during high season July thru August. Owner on next lot in "Lady Jane" cabin if assistance is required.
