The Madawaska Cabin is The Backcountry Hut Company’s largest build to date in the field. This stunning 5 module + deck System 02 cabin is nestled away on 3.8 acres with tranquil lakefront steps away from the backdoor. Built as a family cottage in Ontario’s cottage country, this 3-bed, 2-bath retreat easily accommodates 10 guests. This dream cabin in the woods features a custom charred cedar exterior and magnificent full glazing wall facing a private lakefront view of Bark Lake.
The System 02 Prefabricated Two-Storey Cabin, the original Backcountry Hut concept, is a modern interpretation of traditional alpine cabins. The interior design of the cabin is characterized by lofty high ceilings and expansive windows that frame the verdant woods outside.

Its clean lines and unassuming design seamlessly integrate with the understated charm of the cabin, enhancing the sense of serenity and connection to nature that permeates every corner of the space.
