“This off-grid glass cabin in Canada is a stargazer’s dream come true.”- Dwell Magazine
The Skyward Cabin in Prince Edward County, Ontario, offers up a remote locale for adventure-seekers. Surrounded by windows, this 80sqft cabin is a portal to the outdoors that fully immerses guests in nature. You can watch storms roll in, feel the sun when it shines and the rain when it falls, breathe in the forest air and let nature take you away. Staying at the Skyward cabin is not 5-star luxury; it is, however, a million-star experience, all from the comfort of a cozy bed!
A minimal material palette—Canadian red cedar, glass, and elevated cement footings—allows the cabin to seamlessly blend into the great outdoors. Thanks to large, bifold front doors and a hatch above the bed, campers can sleep exposed to the elements or tuck themselves away.
The Skyward Cabin has enough room to sleep two adults (choose between a queen bed or two twins), and it’s dog-friendly as well. Next door, a 64-square-foot outhouse holds a shower, composting toilet, and solar infrastructure that supplies the cabin with energy. The Skyward Cabin isn’t heated or cooled, but it is wired for electricity with reading lights behind the bed.
Nestled on 75 acres of forest and rolling countryside, the cabin shares land with a primary residence, along with The Edward Bed & Breakfast. The cabin is isolated from the other dwellings, but it’s an easy walk through the woods. The Skyward cabin is a quiet retreat away from the hubbub of the world, created for those seeking to disconnect with technology and reconnect with themselves and nature.
