Moss Cabin

This Cabinscape is located in the Haliburton Highlands of Ontario, an area best known for their rolling hardwood forests, pristine lakes and extensive wetlands grounded firmly on the Canadian Shield. Our micro cabins are located right within Haliburton Forest’s Base Camp, giving you access to their extensive trail system; delicious meals at their Cookhouse Restaurant; Camp Store; and much more. The picturesque waterfront town of Haliburton is a 25-minute drive away. Take a day trip for great shopping, cafes, restaurants and events.

Entry is by lock-box and key. Check in time is 4 pm. Check-out is 12 pm.

From mid-November to mid-May this cabin is just over a 1km hike-in, as the road is closed to accommodate ATVs and snowmobiles on the trails. As a result, we are excited to offer a ATV shuttling service for guests who prefer not to hike in, but do not have access to their own snowmobile/ATV. This shuttle service is only available from mid- November until the road closes to snowmobiles in mid-March. At an additional cost of $75/reservation, guests and their gear will be transported to their cabin via snowmobile or ATV. Please note: the fee includes space for up to two individuals and one cargo sled of gear. Additional guest/gear trips may incur additional fees.

The service runs in 30 minute increments from 1PM-4PM for check-in and 9AM-11:30AM for check out. Guests are able to select their preferred shuttle time through their welcome page which is sent exactly one week in advance of a given booking.

We are always just a text away for any questions or assistance. Our on-call property manager lives nearby and can be available on-site when needed.

No. This cabin can only accommodate up to 2 guests plus 1 pup. The base rental rate includes 2 guests. If you’re bringing a pup, please select the “Pet Pal” option at checkout.

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.

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. 

Canoe rentals are available from the Main Office at Haliburton Forest for $25-$35/per day. Canoes can be picked up from the Main Office. They do not deliver these items to cabins. Guests must transport canoes themselves to whatever lake they want to paddle: they provide all gear including paddles, personal flotation devices (pfds), safety kits as well as ropes and foams to tie canoes on to vehicles.

Fore more info or to book your canoe, visit the Haliburton Forest Website here.

For guests with access to their own snowmobile or ATV’s, a valid drivers license (or Motorized Snow Vehicle Operator’s License) is required. Ownership and insurance per vehicle must also be presented to Haliburton Forest staff in the Main Office upon check in. (Side-by-side vehicles are not permitted in the forest.). ATV’s are only permitted in the winter.

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.

Yes! You are more than welcome to bring your furry friends for an extra fee of $25/per night. Select the “Pet Pal” option at checkout. Up to two dogs per booking is permitted. (We do not make exceptions to this rule).
