Frequently Asked Questions
Cabin Basics
How many people can Boar’s Hollow cabin accommodate?
The cabin is best suited for 1-2 guests. It’s a peaceful retreat, perfect for couples or solo travellers looking for a quiet escape.
No additional overnight guests are permitted without prior approval.
What does it mean that the cabin is “off-grid”?
Our cabin is not connected to publicly-managed utilities. However, the cabin is equipped with various other methods of power and plumbing services, including a battery bank (solar panels coming soon!), cistern, propane tank, and septic system.
This means you have a limited power and water supply. Please use them mindfully.
