Close to Blue Mountains, Thornbury & Collingwood
This cozy, tiny house is packed to the brim with charm. Kids adore the private bed alcoves & everyone appreciates browsing the carefully curated library, which mainly features works of literature along with books on gardening, politics, art & more. The built-in bunk beds are double-bed-sized and surrounded by bookshelves. The floor space is 12' x 9, which is just enough to accommodate an intimate seating area and kitchenette with a live-edge ash countertop and shelves.
This is a 'glamping' sort of experience. There's no running water, but we provide large jugs of drinking water, which we'll happily refill as needed. There's an electric two-burner stovetop provided, and everything you need to prepare a meal. There's no fridge, but we supply a cooler and ice-packs upon request. The 'washroom' is an outhouse that uses a bucket system, which may take some getting used to. We empty the bucket regularly and compost the deposits for use around fruit and nut trees. This ensures the outhouse remains clean and odour-free. There's wifi available.
There's also no shower available for guests, except during warmer months, when you're welcome to use our solar-heated shower (which is only hot on sunny days). One option is to visit the Scandinave Spa in the Blue Mountains while you're here; they have hot showers to complement their hot & cool baths & sauna in a wonderful outdoor setting.
In the winter, the cabin is well-insulated,d and it’s easily heated with an electric space heater, but the outhouse is unheated.
Guest access
Guests have exclusive access to the cabin. The outhouse is shared with customers of the plant nursery during the growing season (but is rarely used and fully lockable).
We also offer the use of our outdoor solar shower during the warmer months, but please note that it's only warm after a day of sunshine!
Other things to note
We have a couple of young dogs who sometimes bark at people. They're friendly, but they can seem aggressive when they first see you. We're trying to train them to be more welcoming!
