White Birch Cabin - Johnswood Off Grid Cabins on Drummond Island

White Birch Cabin - Johnswood Off Grid Cabins on Drummond Island

6 1 1
Save
White Birch Cabin is part of the Johnswood Off Grid Cabins family of tiny homes. If you're looking for more than a campsite and less than a full house, this "improved tent" sleeps 6 people and is a creative alternative!

The cabin includes a charcoal grill, two chairs on the front porch, a table with chairs inside, two battery operated hanging lanterns, sheets/bedding, a propane wall heater, and a Porta-John toilet. Please bring your own water, towels, camp chairs, coolers, charcoal, and other camping gear and necessities for cooking, washing up, etc.

Want to camp with friends? Four additional people can stay in Henry's Cabin next door - see our "Henry's & White Birch Cabins - Johnswood Off Grid Cabins on Drummond Island" listing to rent both! The site can also accommodate one RV (no water/electricity) - please ask for details if interested in bringing an RV.

White Birch Cabin is tucked off of Johnswood Rd, near Dickenson Lake fishing and kayaking, and adjacent to hundreds of acres of State land for hunting. The cabin is also less than 1/2 mile from Kreeton/Glen Cove Rd, which connects to over 60 miles of off-road ATV and ORV trails and routes. Plus, it's down the road from popular swimming and kayaking destination, Big Shoal Beach!
