Cozy King Bed Forest Cabin on Herbal Farm (20 Acres) Welcome to our peaceful 20-acre herbal forest farm — a working homestead lovingly shared with our family, nestled in the heart of Muskoka’s wild beauty. Your stay includes a charming wooden log cabin with a cozy king-size bed for the perfect night’s rest under the stars. Unplug and unwind in nature while enjoying your own fire pit and picnic table for quiet mornings with tea or evenings of fireside connection. This is a semi-off-grid stay with thoughtful comforts: a private outdoor composting toilet and rustic forest shower are just a short walk from your cabin. You'll be surrounded by medicinal plants, towering trees, and maybe even the distant laughter of our kids playing or the gentle hum of herbal work being done in the background. What's Included: - Small rustic off-grid cabin - King bed with bedding - Simple overhead lights - Private firepit and picnic outside your cabin - Private composting toilet and shower with uv-filtered water - Outdoor sink What's Not Included: - Dishes - Food - Camping Gear - Flashlights - Electrical outlets - Firewood (Available for purchase onsite for $5/bundle) Whether you're here to forest bathe, stargaze, or simply rest deeply, this is a place to slow down and reconnect. Please note: we do not accept pets on the property. As a working herbal farm in the forest, we share the land with many wild creatures, and the scent of dogs (and other animals) can attract unwanted wildlife activity. Thank you for understanding and helping us keep the space safe and peaceful. This is a peaceful family farm. Parties and large rowdy crowds will be asked to leave. Absolutely no smoking or weapons of any kind.

Welcome to Cedar Creek Forest Camping! Voted second best campsite in Canada in 2021 and ranked number 2 in Ontario in 2022. I have 97 acres of very private camping. The forest is a bird watcher’s and nature lover’s paradise. I have developed miles of flat groomed trails and a 3-acre pond (plus several bush ponds). The sites are spread around the pond and are close but not right beside it. There is an abundant amount of wildlife to explore: birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects and mammals call this home. There is a small swimming hole on the island but otherwise the pond is full of aquatic life. The sites and trails are maintained all year long and the forest is quiet and beautiful. I have planted over 3000 trees with the help of the Severn Sound Environmental Association. The forest is registered as a managed woodlot with the province and habitat preservation/restoration is the priority goal. Please DO NOT bring firewood for your visit. I have large bags of cured firewood that was sustainable harvested from the forest available. Invasive insects and disease can be transferred from imported wood. Guests are welcome to quietly explore the forest trails but are asked to stay on the trail. Many birds and animals nest in the forest. My campsite is family-friendly (and pet-friendly), and 420 friendly too. Guests can easily drive up to and park at all campsites. My camp site is tolerant and respectful of all humans, animals and things. The Yurtle structures were built from Hemlock trees that were cut from this forest and processed into boards, then engineered into unique camping huts. Large windows capture the glory of the surrounding forest and sun sets, while wood stoves warm campers on those cold days/nights. Guests are asked to remove excessive garbage and recycling when possible. Thanks for viewing and visiting, cheers and peace, Dave
