Stay on 29 acres of peaceful forest, scenic wetlands, and permanent art installations. Wander quiet trails, relax by the beaver pond, enjoy stargazing in a truly dark sky location, and make use of the seasonal outdoor amenities like our kitchen and shower. Whether you’re here for a creative escape, a rustic adventure, or a comfortable group gathering, our property offers 3-season camping in a unique setting. We have a large outdoor kitchen, three outhouses, a composting toilet, potable water, picnic tables, and Starlink internet. Generators are welcome. No hookups. Location Highlights: 13 min to Gut Conservation Area / Waterfall 20 min to Apsley 25 min to Chandos Lake 30 min to Petroglyphs Shared Amenities for All Guests: - Outdoor seasonal shower - Outdoor kitchen with BBQ, electricity, and coolers - Sauna (hot tub not currently available) - Trails and permanent art installations throughout property Important Details: All guests must be registered. No unregistered visitors are permitted on the property. The hosts live on-site but will respect your privacy after check-in. We’re always available should you need assistance but won’t interrupt your stay. Campfires: Allowed with host approval, unless a fire ban is in effect. Swimming/Paddling: Beaver pond on-site. *Swim/paddle at your own risk.* The Setting: This property is enhanced by permanent art installations, creating a serene and inspiring atmosphere. The spacious layout and amenities make it ideal for gathering with loved ones to enjoy special moments. * Due to the nature of the artwork, pets are not permitted.

2-Story Barn
Natalie and Seth's barn was overall a great experience! We enjoyed all the extras that were provided to us: entertainment system, well stocked kitchen, etc. The art pieces were also a nice addition too. We all slept great and warm. Our only complaint would be that the toilet smell was a little difficult to tame for us. The sawdust helped a bit but still had a faint smell in the downstairs living space so we had to vent out the barn every few hours to get some fresh air. Hope to come back soon! Thanks Natalie and Seth!
