1 site · Lodging5 acres · Guelph/Eramosa, ON
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 - Our family lives on the property, so there may be sounds of children playing   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.

The Pinecone

1 site · Lodging40 acres · Simcoe, ON
Come to the Pinecone to completely relax and disconnect (seriously you will because there is no cell service!). During Summer and much of Spring and Fall, you should be able to drive up to the cabin. Unless your vehicle has especially low clearance. The road/path out to the bunkie started as a well-made tractor path that has held up well over the years but has some rocks and bumps. Once through the gate it’s only a 1-minute drive to where you will park. This road may be a bit muddy! If you are looking for a Bunkie getaway, we would be happy to host you; please note the following: - If there has been a lot of snow the private road from the street to the Bunkie is not plowed. Depending on the type of vehicle you are driving, you may have to park at the gate entrance and walk in (4-5min walk) to get to the Bunkie. - There is a mini wood fireplace in the Bunkie for sleeping but depending on the temperature outside and/or the wind it still may be a little chilly. - There is lots of free wood available for an outside fire but we are sometimes low on small pieces to start fire or use for the mini fireplace. You can bring in your own extra kindling or bring own saw/axe to chop. - Bring your own extra blankets. DETAILS: Sleeping loft accessible by ladder comfortably sleeps 2. You'll have an outdoor fire pit, picnic table and 2 grills (we have lots of wood but you can bring your own charcoal for cooking). Enjoy watching the starts at night by the fire and visits from the abundant wildlife. There is 1 queen size bed in the loft for sleeping which is accessible by ladder. You will melt into the pillow-top mattress, luscious linens and don’t want to wake up heavenly pillows. Our well-appointed shared bathroom features a refreshing shower with both warm and cold water, ensuring you feel rejuvenated after a day of adventure. With running water readily available, you'll have everything you need for a relaxing getaway. Plus, our convenient tap located at the side of the washroom is easily accessible for all guests. There is a small table for 2 inside the bunkie or you can prep food and eat outside on the picnic table. A small fridge cooler is available to store any perishable food you may have. Bring your own ice. The bunkie has solar lighting for the evenings. If you don’t want to find your own firewood in the forest you can pick it up from locals on your way in for $5/bundle (see stands at the end of driveways). It is a big chunk of land but you can't really get 'lost' on it for any significant period of time. We are bounded by roads so eventually you will find your way. But, if you aren't experienced in the woods you may want to keep your wandering short, to start, as you get familiar with the land. Dog friendly!! We provide: • Bed linens and pillows • Toilet Paper • Small fridge to be used as cooler • Charcoal BBQ • BBQ Utensils • First Aid kit What to bring: • Drinking water • Coal (for grilling) • Food + anything required to prepare/eat your meals • Ice • Bug spray, sunscreen, etc • Garbage bags

Forest Cabin on rolling-hill farm

1 site · Lodging50 acres · Erin, ON
Welcome to your private cabin with forest trails, fields, and stars at night. It's a glamping paradise! Privacy and wildlife only an hour from Toronto. Your straw bale cabin has a queen-size bed, a cozy living room with a fireplace, a cute little kitchenette on the porch. Your front yard is a private forest courtyard with a big fire pit, cooking grill and picnic table. Solar power for lights and phone charging. Firewood and water for drinking and washing. And it's just a 20-second hop to the VERY clean and private outhouse. The cabin walls made of straw bales covered with plaster. The deep window sills make it feel like you're in an adobe mud home in Arizona. When we built it in 2002 it was one the first straw bale buildings in Ontario. It's as gorgeous now as as ever. You are free to explore our 50-acre property. There's a bit of everything here. Trails, forests, fields, meadows, rolling hills, and panoramic views. My wife and I live at the front of the farm property, pretty far from the cabin. So you have privacy, but we're available by text or phone if you need us. Interested in local food? Explore our organic vegetable fields, check out the greenhouses, or hang out with our happy chickens and sheep. Ready for a unique dinner experience? Rent the pizza oven in the courtyard of our little community centre, just a two-minute stroll from your hidden cabin. Looking for local fun and adventure? There are a lot of attractions just a short drive away: the Village of Erin, the Pink Hills of Caledon, the Elora-Cataract Trail, GoodLot Brewery, Alton Mill, and much more.

Weekend Trip to Tiny House in the Big Woods
It’s very private and quiet. Nice cozy cabin. Host is friendly and accommodating. Nice and relaxing at night time. All you can hear is crickets. Lots of wood. Lots of water. Solar panels kept lights on and devices charged and it wasn’t even that sunny lol. Will return if they’ll have me!

Weekend Trip to Forest Cabin on rolling-hill farm
What a wonderfully relaxing couple of days we had at the cabin! It was so well appointed that there wasn’t a single thing we lacked. Everything was prepared for our arrival. Bed was comfy and cozy. The peace was Devine. We snowshoed through the woods and felt like the only people in the world. Came home happy and rejuvenated. You couldn’t ask for better hosts. We will be back.

Everdale’s forest cabin is a delight. I loved being tucked away at the edge of the woods. The cabin is lovely, very comfortable, and the wood stove is very powerful. The outdoor kitchen is extraordinary and has everything you might need. Gavin and family were wonderful hosts. I hope to visit again soon.

I recently went camping and had an absolutely wonderful experience! The host was incredibly helpful, making sure we had everything we needed to feel comfortable. The entire site was spotless, and I was especially impressed by the cleanliness of the washrooms. I’ve been camping before, but I’ve often found the washrooms lacking; this time, they were truly up to the mark. It made such a difference to have a clean, well-kept facility. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a pleasant and well-managed camping experience!

  • Just a 30 second walk from the bunkie and you're at the creek! Water was low at this time but the trickling sound provided a peaceful backtrack while I was visiting.
  • There's a nice picnic table that converts to a bench also along the creek side for easy meals by the water if you want a change of scenery from the bunkie.

Camp Willowbrook

We purchased this farm in 1998 from the previous farmer who had owned it since 1929. The train line ran right by the gate where the Kota hut now sits and would drop cattle right there to be finished and sold later at the Toronto Stockyards. Our barn was built in 1890 with the old farmhouse located across the creek. Two creeks meet the Grand River on our farm. The bunkie is situated north of the barn and faces Willow creek. During the summer the creek gets quite shallow but there are a couple of pools that work nicely for a float with our river tubes. The river also has a small swimming hole. The bunkie is nestled between 2 hills which creates a natural little valley. Campers can take a walk around the property or use the nearby long walking trail. New this spring, campers will be able to enjoy the firewood sauna, located close to the bunkie and nestled in a private spot near the creek.

T's Pond

2 sites · Lodging29 acres · Port Colborne, ON
Like most folks who’ve been bitten by the water ski bug, I dreamed of having my own lake and when I met my life partner Harald, an elite slalom skier, my search began in earnest. By a combination of good timing and good luck, I was able to make that dream come true and in the spring of 2014 I acquired this land with the hopes of building my dream water ski lake on it. 7 years later, we have a thriving water ski club and are constantly making improvements to the site. We now have decided to add some sites for rent to share this incredible property with others outside the water ski community. Site #1 is a small cabin that sleeps 3 and site #2 is a small houseboat that has been converted to a bunkie. Onsite activities include use of a canoe and paddleboard. Use of a kid's swingset and olympic trampoline. Swimming and fishing. Pets are welcome, campfires are permitted.
