About this property

Ember Cabin | Trail-side Retreat Overlooking River

Ember cabin is a trailside, hike-in retreat located directly on the Tay-Havelock rail trail overlooking the Fall River. It’s the perfect base camp for cyclists, hikers and paddlers wanting a place to relax and unwind after a day of adventuring. 

Guests looking for an aquatic adventure can take our canoe out and explore the river and its connecting lakes. Visitors will park at the public trailhead and hike or bike a few short minutes (500 meters approx.) along the trail to our private property in the woods.


BE AWARE
Ember Cabin sits along the Tay-Havelock Trail, part of the Trans Canada Trail. This public, mixed-use trail is frequented by hikers, cyclists, and ATVs. While our cabin is on private property, out of sight and at a comfortable distance, you may hear trail activity.

Neighboring dogs may bark but remain on their property. If bringing a dog, keep them leashed when hiking to the cabin.

WATER
Our water is pumped from the lake. Running water is shut off when temperatures dip below freezing. This normally happens mid-October but can vary each year. When running water is shut off, we provide 40L of water for dish washing and drinking. All taps (including shower taps) are turned off. Water is turned back on before the May Long Weekend.

HIKE-IN ACCESS
Ember Cabin is not accessible by car. Guests must park at the public trailhead and then hike, bike, ATV, or snowmobile in (approx. 5 minutes).

THINGS TO BRING
* Your own food & drink
* Your own towels, sheets, pillows, pillow cases and blankets
* Firewood 
* Bug repellent

OFF-GRID BASICS
This eco-cabin is completely OFF-GRID. (Don’t let this scare you). Our cabin is modernized and solar powered with electricity and heat. Feel good knowing that you’re choosing a low-carbon, eco-friendly getaway. As an off-grid cabin, energy conservation is key. Drawing too much energy may cause you to lose power, so you’ll need to be mindful of your consumption during your stay. There is a back-up generator when solar power is low.

LEAVE NO TRACE
All garbage and recycling must be packed up and taken home on your departure.
