Cranberry Sky cottage is a typical northern Ontario camp - it is off grid with no electricity or cell service, untreated water and limited waste treatment. In emergency, a cell signal can be picked up 5-20 km south on hwy 533 towards Mattawa and WiFi is available at Tim Hortons in Mattawa. Night lighting is provided by solar powered lights, propane ceiling lights, candles, and flashlights. There is limited running water and abundant lake water for washing! Bottled water is required for drinking. There is a large clean Outhouse beside the cottage, and a pee bucket in the washroom for night use. The cottage would best suit people with some camping experience and familiar with the natural environment. It is ideal for young families who would like a little more comfort and convenience for their children than a camping trip would afford, or for older families who would like the same for themselves! The cottage is much more convenient and comfortable than camping, with beds, sunporch, propane stove, fridge and cooking gear.

PROPERTY
The cottage is set in a 1 acre clearing on the shore of Harrington Lake. A gentle slope leads down to the lake with a shallow sandy beach ideal for children to play. The waterfront includes a big grassy area for sunbathing/beach lounging. Peddleboat and canoe are provided on the boat beach, with room to beach your own boats also. The lakeside firepit features beautiful views of the sunset up the lake, and the starry skies at night. The land side of the cottage is a large open area, about 2/3 acre, for games, with a badminton net and horseshoe pit.
