Your CABINSCAPE Essential Packing List 

How to prepare for a tiny cabin adventure?

Sometimes the most difficult part of taking a trip is knowing what to pack. At CABINSCAPE, we make the process of packing for your adventure as simple as possible.

Read on for our essential packing list for your tiny cabin travels!

THINGS TO BRING

Food & Drink

Our tiny cabins in the woods come equipped with everything you’ll need to prepare your own home-cooked meals. All kitchens include a gas stovetop, mini-fridge, stovetop toaster, kettle and french press. There’s also a propane BBQ and fire pit outside available for year-round use.

We also provide food basics like tea, coffee, sugar, flour, salt, pepper and olive oil. All you need to bring is your favourite food and drink!

Lighter

Lighters are a camping essential—great for starting campfires, lighting stovetops, and more. While we try to keep them stocked in our cabins, they do occasionally go missing or run out. To be safe, we recommend bringing your own fire starter so you’re never without a flame when you need it.

Bedding

Did you know an average washing cycle of 10 kg consumes at least 50 litres of water and about 1.2 kWh of electricity?

As a low-impact, off-grid and ecologically-sound cabin, we ask guests to bring their own towels, sheets, pillows, pillowcases and blankets.

Practical Clothing

No matter the season, comfortable hiking boots and practical clothing are essential for your stay. Be sure to pack layers so you can easily adjust to changing temperatures throughout the day. Even in warmer months, it’s a good idea to bring a cozy sweater, socks, and something comfortable like slippers for relaxing indoors.

We also recommend choosing lighter-coloured clothing when possible, as it makes it easier to spot ticks while you’re out exploring.

Flashlight or Headlamp

Our cabins are located in off-the-beaten-path locations with little to no artificial light. While cabins are outfitted with indoor and outdoor solar-powered lights, bringing an extra flashlight or headlamp can really come in handy – especially when building a fire or navigating our property at night.

Bug repellent

Depending on the season, you’re bound to encounter bugs of all kinds in the wilderness—from mosquitoes to black flies.

We recommend coming prepared with bug spray and appropriate clothing, like long sleeves and pants, to stay comfortable and make the most of your time outdoors.

Firewood

A cabin getaway isn’t complete without a campfire!

Guests can bring their own firewood, grab some at local gas stations or grocery stores en route — or make it easy by pre-ordering from us for delivery straight to your cabin. An axe is provided, and you’re welcome to collect and chop any deadwood nearby..

Packing for your getaway doesn’t have to be complicated.

With a little preparation and the right essentials, you’ll be all set to relax, unwind, and enjoy everything nature has to offer.
