This is a very private little slice of heaven that I've been pleased to steward for over 25 years. If you love the sound of frogs singing, and bullfrogs plucking their banjo strings, red-winged blackbirds trilling, you will love it here. The property is literally right across the road from the Mono Cliffs Provincial Park which boasts amazing trails, views and features the Niagara Escarpment. The 4-acre pond/wetland is designated 'Provincially Significant' by the Ministry of Natural Resources and is an important part of the Nottawasaga Watershed. This area is renowned for its terrain - the fields are rolling and the views are quite special. You will enjoy a private firepit and private overlook at the pond with hammock. The site isn't visible from the road. Our house is visible from the site but far enough away as to not disturb one another. We have an outhouse with lighting that will make your stay comfortable.

Being avid hikers ourselves, we realize that there are not a lot of accommodations just off the Bruce Trail. So our main goal is to assist hikers as they explore the Bruce Trail. Whether you are doing the ‘end-to-end ‘ in one go (Bravo!), or doing a more relaxed multi day hike, our little bunkie will be a welcome place to lay your head at the end of the day. Our forest bunkie is nestled in the woods, a few minutes walk off the trail, and conveniently located approximately at the half way point of the Caledon Hills section. You truly feel like you are one with nature here. At night you may hear the coyotes howling in the distance or hear the local raccoons out on their nightly stroll. You have complete privacy at the bunkie. However, if you need assistance our home isn’t too far away. Please note that it is an off-grid bunkie…which means no electricity! We do have lamps available in the bunkie, however bringing your own headlamp or flashlight is recommended. There is a cute, private outhouse w/ washbasin. We have an outdoor shower a little ways away from the bunkie site, with hot water. There is a double bed in the loft. The pull out couch on the main level also can be converted to a double bed. There is no running water at bunkie, however we will have some potable water provided. You will be met upon arrival. PLEASE NOTE: *There is a strict NO fire rule anywhere on the property. *There is a hill (w/some forest stairs) that you will have to navigate to get to bunkie site. Mono Mills is 6 minutes away w/ Starbucks, Tim Hortons, gas stations, pizza. Hockley Village is 7 minutes away, with the must visit Hockley Valley General Store. Orangeville is 15 mins away for all food and supplies you may need. We can assist w/ Bruce Trail (Caledon Hills Section) pick ups/ drop offs if we are available.

It is 8 1/2 acres of wetland and forest, with a mown perimeter, and cool places to tuck into the forest for the night. The current owner was a special educator, and now is slowly turning the land into her homestead. There is a beautiful, spa quality outdoor shower next to a tidy and 'fancier than most' outhouse, a strawberry patch as well as wild alpine strawberries all over the property, a big dog and a small indoor cat keep her company. Here is what the land offers: -Bunkie in the Forest: A sweet 8x8 ft. space with new bunk and mattresses as of April 2023 -Strawberry Fields bunkie: an 10x12 space with a loft with a queen memory foam mattress and a main floor with a full futon and a small table -Campsites: Meadow, Forest and River spots.

Tolkien readers will know the Grey Havens. The final chapter of the "Rings" trilogy is about going to "The Grey Havens" the last of the Elves' havens on Middle Earth." Looking for a retreat? We embrace Tolkien's imagination. We prefer, and encourage artists (writers, painters, musicians) and readers, who will especially like our lakefront property. We do our best to facilitate relaxation and inspiration. Each space has a unique small Library (try our public Little Free Library too). We have quiet, segregated spaces inside or outside for working or reading. As well, our lake is flushed with cool underground water: a small naturally special glacial kettle, source of the Styx River (different myth). Perhaps you'd rather fill your days with water recreation activities: swimming, fishing, kayaking, canoeing. We have a free boat launch for your watercraft. Lots of County Forest or Bruce Trailhead hiking opportunities also nearby. We have the following Free amenities: -Car parking (1 vehicle/site); Motorcycle friendly parking pads for touring riders -Wireless access -Spacious outdoor Privy and Wash House -Dock and canoe/kayak launch (for your own canoes/kayaks) -Patio/deck (20'x25') with fire circle, chairs and tables (burn only locally sourced wood-see our Extras) -Artist hosts with global perspectives and experience Hip Camp Extras: -"Firewood Bundle" ($25) for any open fires to cook or watch -"Failsafe fire starter kit" (5$) for 12 starters -"Butane Cook Stove" ($25) for camp stove cooking -"Hip Camper Workshop" ($60) patient instruction on safely starting a campfire, one fire setup demonstration and includes a Firewood Bundle and a Failsafe fire starter kit. Required for all First Time/Novice Hip Campers (zero Hip Camp trips) to avoid dangerous fire starting nightmares (for the host) like last year. -"Townsend Lake Cruise" ($30) learn about the natural history of lake on our unique eVessel, Swizzle Styx with the host as captain. -"Gear Wagon" ($10) to transport your luggage, tents, gear and/or coolers from the car to the site (and out again also). Grey Havens is waste wise: remove your garbage and cleanup your site to get a cleaning refund on your booking. Hip Campers may wonder about the whale bench seen in many of our photographs. Ask your host about the story of our Whale Bench.
