An off-grid cabin and tent retreat near Kenora, Ontario, with tiny cabins, prospector tents, free canoes, kayaks and paddleboards, and clean, deep swimming water. Extras cost more, and a couple of guests had issues.
Wild Woods Hideaway is a quiet, off-grid-style property near Kenora with tiny cabins, prospector tents and trails through the woods. Guests describe it as peaceful, and the swimming area gets praise for clean, deep water with no weeds.
Most families love it. Kayaks, canoes, paddleboards and life jackets are free to use from the dock, and there is a play structure. A shared kitchen area provides drinking water, dishwashing water, a propane stovetop, cookware and dishes. The composting toilets are called very clean, and there is a hot shower and a sauna. Several guests found the cabins cute, clean and well equipped, and one family has returned three times.
It suits families, couples and anyone happy with a simple, unplugged stay. The host is described by many as friendly and accommodating.
Not everyone agrees. Cabins have no running water or sink. Firewood is sold by the bag, and the shower and sauna carry extra fees, which some guests found adds up. One guest felt the steep loft stairs and loose loft railing were a safety risk for kids. Another reported a very unpleasant phone call with the owner after raising concerns. Ask what is included, and check the cabin layout if you have young children.
