Magical
Tom’s cabin is magical. We go back every fall for a couple of nights. We still love it as much as the first time that we were there. Watching the deer from the sauna is just amazing. The new covered deck out back is a great addition.

I had a wonderful stay at this cabin and would definitely return! It was very easy to find and conveniently located close to town, while still feeling like a peaceful little getaway surrounded by nature. There are also some great trails and lookouts nearby, which made it a perfect location for exploring the area.
The cabin itself was incredibly cute, cozy, and comfortable. Less than an hour after arriving, I had two bucks walk right past the back door and stop to graze. Later, there were turkeys and a doe wandering around the property as well. One of the highlights of my stay was waking up the next day to a group of deer resting just outside the back door. Being able to watch them from bed was such a unique and memorable experience.
The bed was very comfortable, and I especially appreciated having a fan available, as I prefer sleeping with one. It was also nice that firewood was provided for both the indoor and outdoor fires, which made it easy to settle in and enjoy the cabin.
Overall, it was a peaceful, comfortable stay in a beautiful setting. I actually found myself wishing I had booked a longer stay! I would happily stay here again and look forward to coming back.

An absolute gem of a place!

Fantastic stay! The cabin had everything we needed and was super cozy. Loved all the wildlife in the area. The sauna was a great addition, as was the wood fireplace. And it’s a super quick walk into town. Already making plans to come back.

Weekend getaway
With pets
This place was beyond words the setting the lights which gives it that romantic magical feeling , and then waking up to the cottage being surrounded by 8-10 deer just laying few feet away while having our coffee on the back porch blew our minds , and it never bothered them us being there. The host was amazing as well and made this place the perfect getaway. I will definitely book again there and recommend everyone to book here

My boyfriend and I had an amazing time here! We saw so many deer and with the back deck addition we had a great time hanging out back with all the wildlife — even saw a group of turkeys with their babies! Would definitely stay again!!! 😁😁

My husband stayed last year and loved it so much that he wanted me to come with him. I'm glad that he did. Tom's place is magical. It is the perfect spot to spend a couple of nights. Lighting a fire on a cold morning with the deer a few feet from your window is just lovely.
Tom is responsive and the cabin is just as described. The location is great - walkable to downtown, although you feel like you are in a forest. The Skyline Park is a 5 minute drive. 20 minutes to the Wolf Sanctuary.

Second visit, won't be our last
With kids
My daughter and I visited last year and she begged for us to return to "the cute little cabin on the hill". Great space, easy check-in and clear communication. We'll be back again next year!

Love it
With pets
Great location, just a few mins walk into town - was beautifully located, nestled at the bottom of the hill, we had deer walking through and lazing in the hillside. The cabin itself was awesome, rustic charm to the max, had everything you need. Even though was +30C we used the sauna and cold plunge bucket which was such a special addition.
Would 100% return again.

Great time!
We loved Tom’s cabin! The subtle touches made this cabin so comfortable! The sauna and cold shower, then a cozy warm cabin from the wood stove and finally, elegant deer, made it feel almost like a spa retreat in the woods.
Thanks Tom for sharing your place!

Immaculate Vibes!
With pets
This has been my third trip to the simple cabin and every time it gets better!
The atmosphere is amazing. I always have the best sleep of my life here- if you get the chance to book do so NOW! This place fills up fast for good reason.
The cabin is so well decorated and has everything you need. The outhouse is cleaner than my bathroom at home (lol) and the sauna feels like paradise.
The deer are tame and will wander right by as you enjoy a cozy fire outside. The distant hum of the traffic in the city below is only overshadowed by the gentle buzz of frogs and crickets all around.
The vibes are unreal here. If you need a detox from a stressful life in the city this is the place for you. There is something magical here. I can’t wait to go back!

The much needed
The vibe of the cabin was on point! It had all the amenities you need, heat, air , cook top, utilities plus a fridge. Never mind the serene atmosphere. Hand feed the local Deer, wild turkeys and how close you’re to town, but feel so secluded at the same time. 20/20. This is our second visit and we are already planning our next visit.

Big win
This is a great little cabin, with everything you would need for some R&R. Thomas was a great host and had the Woodfire stove going for us before we got there to preheat it. As we were there in mid March. Saw tons of deer from the cabin and the sauna. 10 out of 10 would recommend

Tom has been a great host and has been very responsive in his messaging. It’s a very cozy and open space that feels bigger than it is. There’s a lot of deer in the area that you will see and get to watch. I would highly recommend this cabin, even without running water. He makes sure you have enough for your stay, and the outhouse is spotless and doesn’t have any smells like others. It makes it very comfortable to the experience

Wonderful getaway spot!
This place was perfect for a weekend escape. The cabin was beautifully decorated, cozy, and inviting. The sauna was a great addition—it used an electric heater instead of a traditional fireplace, which made it heat up quickly and efficiently. Everything was well thought out for comfort and relaxation. Tom was incredibly welcoming and helpful, making our stay even better. Highly recommend!

I have always loved haliburton, my boyfriend and I have now had our own little Christmas cabin trip for the second year in a row now and we absolutely love coming up every time. Somehow this cabin makes us feel more magical with the snow, the wildlife, the cabin itself is always cozy and our dogs feel comfortable and safe there. We can’t wait to come back again! Thank you so much! 🎄🖤🎅🏻✨✨

A Cozy Cabin to Recharge
With pets
This is the perfect cabin if you're looking to recharge for a few days. Being so close to the town made it easy to grab some necessities, but where the cabin itself is located feels secluded. And you won't be disappointed with all the wildlife that walk across the property.

Quaint and beautifully decorated cabin near the village. It was a perfect short stay with my dog. The running and cycling paths nearby are amazing.
