Forest trails, farm animals, starlit skies, and coyotes howling in the distance — welcome to your own quiet corner of the wild. Tucked into the forest at Everdale's regenerative farm, this off-grid straw bale cabin is a one-of-a-kind retreat for nature lovers, climate-conscious travellers, and anyone craving stillness and space. Drive right up to your private hideaway beneath the trees. Inside: a queen bed, cozy living area, and warm, earthen walls. Step out to a covered, open-air kitchenette — the perfect place to sip coffee, cook dinner, or watch the forest move around you. The entire cabin is yours, along with access to the surrounding forest and meadows of Everdale Farm. Outside your door: a private fire pit, picnic table, and a clean, private outhouse just 20 seconds away. Explore trails, visit the chickens and sheep, or spend your day resting under the trees. Built in 2002, this is one of Ontario’s first straw bale buildings — handcrafted with care from natural, breathable materials. Its rounded corners and deep window sills feel like something from the desert Southwest — right here in Southern Ontario. Warm in winter, cool in summer, and powered by solar energy for lights and device charging. Everdale is an award-winning organic farm and education centre, committed to climate-positive, regenerative practices. Your stay supports ecological farming, food education, and land stewardship. Campfire wood can be purchased for $10/bag. Wood for indoor heat is included.

Camp Willowbrook

77km from Markham · 6 sites
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.
