Our Calabogie cabins (Finch, Starling & Wren) are perched above the shores of Calabogie Lake at the base of Dickson Mountain, on the forested grounds of Calabogie Peaks Resort. These identical cabins offer sweeping lake views and direct access to some of Southern Ontario’s best hiking, including the renowned Eagles Nest lookout.

Guests can enjoy world-class hiking, biking, skiing, and exploring thousands of acres of crown land throughout the lush Ottawa Valley. Optional Resort Day Passes are available for those who want the full resort experience — including snowboarding, paddling, tennis, a public beach, golf, spa services, and two on-site restaurants.

Each cabin sits on its own forested lot, 200–300 metres apart, and includes a fire pit, BBQ, and picnic table. Located away from the main resort, these cabins are ideal for guests who want access to amenities while still enjoying privacy and nature.

No. Our Micro cabins do not have running water. We provide 40L of water for dish washing and drinking. Public showers are available at Calabogie Peaks Resort with the purchase of a Resort Day Pass.

Can I bring additional guests?

Yes. This cabin can accommodate up to 3 guests. The base rental rate includes 2 guests.

Is there WIFI/Cell Service?

There is NO WIFI access at this cabin. There is reliable cell reception. However, access to data is slow and spotty. Don’t plan on having a Zoom meeting here.

What electronics can I use at the cabin?

There is one outlet in the kitchen for charging your phone and laptop but charging multiple phones / laptops will drain the cabin’s battery quickly. We DO NOT recommend using the outlet for high voltage items like hairdryers, coffee makers, kitchen appliances, etc. This is a low voltage outlet and power outages will result. Health-related items like CPAP machines cannot be accommodated at our cabins. Feel free to reach out to bookings@cabinscape.com for clarification on what machines/electronics can be used at our cabins.

  • Access to hotel pool & hot tub, showers, day lockers & Exercise Room Facilities
    (currently closed due to COVID)

  • Nightly bonfires

    Access to the resort’s hiking trails is open to all Cabinscape guests (with or without a Resort Day Pass).

Are there bugs & critters!?

You bet. Depending on the season, you’ll encounter bugs of all sorts. Bugs, rodents and wildlife are a reality of the wilderness. Guests should come prepared with bug spray and proper protective attire. Ticks have also been a major issue across Ontario. Please do your research ahead of time and learn how to properly check yourself for ticks.

While we do our best to protect our cabins from pesky critters by having them seasonally sprayed, critters can sometimes find their way into the cabin. That’s why it’s important to keep your food sealed and stored. If you’re squeamish around bugs or critters, you may want to consider another kind of getaway.

Is this cabin pet friendly?

No, I am sorry. This cabin is not pup friendly. But check out our Wren cabin nearby which is pup-friendly.
