As the seasons shift, so to do the everchanging colours of autumn. Enjoy a hike along our numerous trails, take some photos then relax in front of the cozy woodstove. Our property is a great place to decompress whether you relax with a book, or hike our beautiful trails. Experience the peace that comes with 120 acres of boreal forest and enjoy several kilometers of hiking trails and plenty of privacy. Pack your gear, bring your dog and exhale!
We are less than an hour's drive north of Winnipeg along highways 7, 8 or 9 with pavement access to our gated property driveway.
The cabin is equipped with a lofted double bed accessed by a ladder. We provide kitchenware (cutlery, dishes, pots, pans, French press, BBQ utensils, etc..), potable bottled water, a propane indoor regulated stove top, as well as an outdoor gas barbeque.
We provide firewood for outdoor bonfires as well as cut/split wood for the indoor woodstove. (Unless Burn Ban in effect)
Bring your pillows, bedding, towels, food and beverages. Being off-grid with a minimal solar power system, there is no refrigerator; please bring a cooler.
There is a small solar system to light the cabin, power small appliances, and charge your devices and a Cubic Mini Woodstove to combat the cold. The micro-cabin has an eco-friendly filtered rain-water collection system with gravity flow shower and wash basin. The water is as warm as the sun can heat the black barrel! The site features solar lighting, picnic table and fire-pit w/grill. A new outhouse is close by and there are outdoor games in the common area.
We have a second cabin "Blue Owl Tiny House" in event Micro Cabin is already booked, or get together with friends and book them both!
"Get your steps in" while exploring our 120 acres of land with numerous kilometers trail. Great for hiking/biking, birdwatching, or catching a glimpse of wildlife. Saskatoon berries are plentiful this year, bring a container! There are places to sit and enjoy the quiet along the way. We have a small pond with floating dock which is a lovely place to relax. Have fun finding treasures on our Scavenger Hunts. (Printed lists and trail maps provided.)
During the winter months we do our best to keep the majority of our trails packed and groomed making for terrific dog walking, snowshoeing or fat tire biking. Though the cabins are technically closed during the cold months, but the trails are too good not to share with other outdoor enthusiasts.
While in season the Cranberries, Chokecherries and Saskatoon berries are in abundance. You'll see lots of wildflowers along the trail: Indian Paintbrush, Black-eyed Susans, Tiger Lillies, Lady Slippers and Marsh Marigolds just to name a few.
We're located close to the tourist town of Gimli but just slightly off the beaten path. We hope you consider our micro-cabin for a slightly different get-away and welcome your enquiries.
Our second cabin is now open and accepting bookings: www.vrbo.com "The Blue Owl tiny house experience" Vrbo CA 9466340

Bob and Sharon’s tiny cabin perfectly secluded and was a lovely stay for my girlfriend and I! Plenty of lake-side towns close by, beautiful scenery, and a very well kept accommodation. Bigger than you’d think! Check-in was simple and it felt like home almost immediately. Would definitely stay again :)
Great weekend spent at the micro cabin. Proof you don ’t need a big space to enjoy yourself. Very though our little place. Everything you need. Definitely will be booking this little gem again! Thanks for sharing this little place of heaven!

The micro cabin was SO cute and homey! Everything that we could have needed to stay there (stuff for dining, stuff for entertainment, etc.) for the weekend was there - the amenities were so thoughtfully chosen. Not only was the cabin so fun to stay in, but the hosts were so hospitable as well. Definitely would stay there again!
Small and simple just like we expected. Hiking trails were nice, firewood was provided. Cabin was clean and Bob helped us find the turn in. and got us set up.
What a stay! My partner and I and our dog loved it! The days were cool but the woodstove and fire was warm! We’ll be back!

This micro cabin was soooo nice for me and my little dog! We had the best time and look forward to returning and hopefully renting the tiny cabin as well with more friends and pups. The walking trails were very fun and everything was very well thought out and cute. The hosts were also very amazing people! Couldn't recommend enough.
We had an exceptional time in the tiny micro cabin. Nice and clean and cozy.
Owners were amazing in every way possible!!
All we needed was more bug spray. 😌
Would definitely recommend!
Stayed with my partner and our dog. Bob and Sharon were so nice even though we got in later. They checked in to see if we needed more fire wood or anything else to make our stay better. I would 100% stay there again!!

About the host
Hosted by Bob & Sharon
Empty nesters, semi-retired, simply wanting to share our little piece of paradise.
Why they chose this property
A nice blend of camping with the comforts of a cabin in a beautiful, private forest.
What makes this property unique
A tranquil little hideaway on our "Burma Tri-angle" between the flags. Great place for a hike with nature and to play an outdoor scavenger hunt. Or simply read a book, undisturbed.
