Cedar & Bough Nature Retreat

Welcome to Cedar and Bough!

This secluded private Cove is nestled among mature trees and sits beside a tranquil stream that runs through the property. The water in the cove is beautiful and warm as it has full sun all day, the water in the creek is chilly but offers a great spot to cool or or float in the shade.

Just across the quaint bridge, the property boasts 34 acres of forest, trails and fields for a full day of exploring. Our rustic log cabin overlooks Cedar Cove Beach and provides a terrific view and a cozy night's sleep. Evergreen Holler is set in our forest and a 1 minute walk from the beach.

In the winter, enjoy a private pond skate or game of shinny with family and friends. End your day with a cup of hot cocoa in your cabin or roasting s'mores around a bonfire.

Within a short drive or hike from the property, the area offers many provincial parks, trails, restaurants and grocery stores. Less than 90 mins from Toronto, we are located only 12 mins from Orangeville, 20 mins from Alliston and 40 mins from Wasaga Beach.

Tiny House in the Big Woods

Learn more about this land:

Follow the dancing squirrels and singing birds to find this Tiny House in the Big Woods... a land where crickets sing as the sun goes down and chipmunks dance in the light of the moon. Where the summer night wind whispers gently through the trees and the stars glisten in the scented night skies. Next to the Tiny house is a meadow brimming with life; sweet apple blossoms, wild flowers, and honey bees to delight the senses.

Quietly nestled  near a spring fed pond brimming with fish, turtles, and frogs; this Tiny House is a welcome  retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. With close proximity to Toronto, this is off-grid unplugged-relaxation at it's finest. The space is functional, very rustic, and a bit of a work in progress. There is a wood stove to keep the space somewhat warm in the cooler months, a 2 burner propane cook top stove and kitchen essentials.  There's a BBQ and grill over the Fire Pit for your cooking needs.  It is a 5-7 minute walk from the parking spot to get to the cabin. 

ABOUT THE SPACE:

- camping essentials are provided

- BBQ with propane

- 5 gallons of drinking water will be provided

- no running water/showers

- your own private fire pit with grill

- firewood is available

- urine-diverting composting toilet

- Coyotes live around here

  Nearby attractions include hiking and swimming at Rockwood Conservation area, Bellwood Lake, hiking along the Bruce Trail in Limehouse, mountain biking at Kelso Conservation area just 20 min drive away. Lovely walks and strolls at Scotsdale Farm.  Visit the quaint hamlet of Eden Mills. The possibilities are endless.

I like to make bright-fun-happy spaces... with silly pillow faces!

Access to a shared swimming pond and dock.

Echo Hill Wildlife Habitat

 HipCamp's Best Cabin Finalist 2022 

Echo Hill is a unique camping experience because you will be camping in our private wildlife habitat sanctuary. We only rent out one campsite in our 100 acres of forested land, so you will have complete privacy. If you like to be alone in the woods this is the place for you. The white pine trees you see were planted by my parents over 60 years ago. We also have hiking trails throughout our wooded, rolling hills for you to explore.

It is a fantastic place to view wildlife. Our completely off-the-grid little rustic one-room cabin with a screened-in porch, by the wildlife pond, where you will camp, was built by hand by my father. (see photos)  Experience our rewilding. Practice your bushcraft.

Writers, painters, musicians, and poets have created and composed in our little cabin by the pond. All Profits from the campsite go toward maintaining our native wildlife habitat sanctuary. We are private property and not a public campground.

Local Attractions:

Our wildlife sanctuary/organic farm is 18 km from Stratford where you can rent canoes and paddle boats to use on the Avon River. There are several grocery stores there. 

There is a great swimming quarry in St. Marys which is just 17 km away.  There are two grocery stores in St. Marys.  

Lakeside Resort is 7 km away and is a good place to take small children swimming. 

There is additional hiking at Wildwood Lake Conservation Area and Harrington Mill Pond Conservation Area. Both just North of us. Canoes can be rented at Wildwood. 

We are a 5 minute drive away from Happy Hills Resort where you can buy ice. The closest general store, Embro Food Market where you can buy ice and food 7 days a week is in Embro which is 14 km away. 

Lake Huron which has great beaches is about a 55 minute drive away.
