John is a Star Host

Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.

Our 2.5 acre property is located just outside the small village of Millbank. The large lawn area is great for camping, campfires, playing games and relaxing while watching the horse and buggies of the local Amish and Mennonites go ambling by in a manner that speaks to a time gone by. The Perth Harvest Pathway section of the G2G rail trail is quite literally in the backyard. for hiking , bird watching and biking.Hike or Bike to our campsite, pitch your tent, and enjoy a nice warm shower after a day on the trail. Then relax by the campfire while enjoying the quiet country atmosphere with the local Amish and Mennonites passing by in their horse and buggies. There is an outhouse at the trail entrance along with a rst area complete with cold drinks and snacks for sale. The outdoor shower and large sink for water supply and dish washing is located at the rear of our garage and is easily identified as the door with the x design. The well known Elizabeth Watson Flower and Artisan store, Zehr's Country Market and Anna Maes Restaurant are all within easy walking distance.

Camping along G2G

Easy access, close to the trail and plenty of room. Host wasn't around and I was unsuccessful to find any water unfortunately. But it is the perfect midway point between Guelph and Goderich along the bike trail.

Comfortable camping on G2G trail

"Cottonwood Manor" on the west edge of Millbank is very well equipped and super clean, and is the only established trailside camping the entire length of the G2G trail. Bonus - it's an easy walk or cycle to Anna Mae's Bakery and Restaurant, for breakfast takeout, or, in my case, a full-on turkey dinner! There's a large manicured lawn for your tent, picnic table and lawn chairs, an enclosed outdoor shower and wash tub with towels/body soap/dish soap, and electrical outlet. Car, truck and horse & buggy traffic through town is very audible, but easy to ignore. 50km from Guelph, 85 km from Goderich, making it a great overnight choice for those wishing to break up their end to end ride.

This is a nice large piece of property. Well groomed . I managed to kill my car battery and John was kind enough to boost it for me. I will be back next year for sure.

Oasis on the G2G Trail

Trailside was like an oasis, offering a bathroom, picnic table, and an opportunity to purchase a variety of drinks and snacks. These services seem to be offered to any hikers or bikers passing by. We booked to stay over night. There was lots of room, and a beautiful fire pit (with firewood). The shed with the shower has potable water and a large sink. It was a hot sunny day, and we sat in the shade under the huge solar panel. The breeze was heavenly! The only imperfection was the noise coming from the farm just across the trail. But it quieted down around 8pm (and started again the next morning). I would stay there again in a heartbeat!
