The space
This solar powered wilderness cabin offers a kitchenette, full bathroom, sitting area, cozy loft and large screened deck over looking the water and forests beyond. Fiber Op wifi, solar power, propane hotwater. stove, mini fridge, heater and large bright windows make it a great getaway. The cabin offers a quiet and private location, down a private gravel road. Outdoors there is a firepit, picnic table, and bbq. The middle aspy river location offers fantastic paddling and we provide two flatwater kayaks to explore with. Weekly and month discounts. This is a remote and rural area, its not a resort and not for the faint of heart. The grocery stores may not stock as large a variety of wines and cheese, so you may like to stock up before arriving.

Guest access
The property, cabin and shore access

Other things to note
As a solar powered tiny home this place is amazing for adventurers, explorers and folks interested in solar and tiny home living. An adventurous spirit is recommended, off grid living requires a little more care then flip the switch living ;)
