The Perks of Renting a Cabin for Your ATV Adventure

Leave everything and the kitchen sink at home! Most cabins either housekeeping or American Plan alike offer fully-stocked kitchens, making it much easier for you to pack light and just focus on the important things needed for your ATV. A lot of cabins have BBQs, linens, towels, and all the utensils you’ll need to cook meals and enjoy your stay. Be sure you check ahead of time, so you can straighten up your packing list right away.
These cozy cabins can typically be found on or near the water, adding to the serenity you’ll find at the beginning and end of a day. You may even be able to rent a boat, cast a line and add some more elements to your trip.
If you plan your ATV outing around an event you can optimize your time in the area by having somewhere to set up camp and invite some friends back to. Again, only pack your necessities!
All northern regions of Ontario boast a healthy grouse population. If you enjoy hunting, we strongly recommend you bring your shotgun with you to pursue grouse (check seasons ahead of time). These cabins can be ideal for moose hunters as well, if you’re looking for a home base between hunts, a lot of outfitters are more than acquainted with hunters and often have facilities such as game hooks to aid in your harvest.
ATVing is a great shoulder-season getaway away from the crowds of summer. Aside from the odd group of hunters in the fall months, you’ll find these cabins to be even more serene than they are in their busy seasons.
