Sparta – The Essentials of an Off-Grid Escape for a Pure Outdoor Experience

Welcome to Sparta, an off-grid retreat designed for those who appreciate simplicity and the outdoors. This rustic barn stay offers the essentials—clean beds, open communal spaces, a selection of books, and private walking trails—all set in a peaceful, natural setting.

During the growing season, guests are welcome to pick fresh berries and vegetables straight from the land. The property also offers on-site hunting opportunities, and a nearby Mennonite bakery provides fresh goods and locally made products.

For those looking to explore, kayaks and bikes are available for use. Spend the day paddling, cycling scenic backroads, fishing, or simply unwinding by the fire pit in the evening.

Sparta is fully off-grid, powered by solar and captured rainwater. There is no Wi-Fi, and cell service is limited, making it an ideal place to unplug and reconnect with nature. If you’re looking for a quiet, minimalist escape with just the comfortable essentials, Sparta is the perfect place to slow down and enjoy the simple things.

Coolers with ice will be provided. There is drinking water available through a cooler. A gas cookstove and toaster oven available for cooking.
