Get bunkie with it
No electricity, no running water, no toilet... no problem. In fact, that's one of the many charms of the place - it's truly a cabin in the woods, with none of the modern accouterments. Ben is a great host: detailed information, an appropriate level of communication and an all-around good vibe. The expectation is that you will enjoy your time, leave the cabin in as good (or better) shape than you found it and, in return, it will provide you with a little bit of peace and solitude. Is it for everyone? Probably not. Was it for me? Absolutely. Thanks Ben, and thanks Modern Minimalist Bunkie, you were just what I needed.

Fantastic minimalist camping
The bunkie was exactly as pictured. Us and our dog had a great trip! Very secluded and quiet. Lovely to get out of the city and see the stars. Ben was a great host and so kind to us when we had car troubles. Will definitely be back!

Attention bikepackers & campers!!
Ben’s place close to the lovely Flesherton village was perfect for our last bikepacking adventures. And Ben’s spot is completely in the middle of the wild & makes you feel far from everywhere! Green nature & blue skies are amazing in this region. For bikepackers carrying the minimal gear while travelling (like us) it is very helpful to find a couple of chairs for our comfort & free wood for a nice fire! Moreover, Ben was responsive, communicative and very helpful with hints & tips. Highly recommended & we’ll be back sooner or later. If you ever have the chance, spend a night at Ben’s (at the bunkie or with your tent), you won’t regret it! Woof!

Don't Let The Long Grass Stop You
Dragonflies by day, fireflies by night! The meadow was in full bloom with wild flowers and long grasses, nestled by a lush, healthy forest that was great to explore! Really interesting sites and so much flora and fauna! The star gazing at night was incredible and we even managed to catch a shooting star! The site is close to the local town which has a great little cheese shop and bakery/cafe with lovely staff. The sounds of nature, birds, coyotes yipping in the distance at night were a welcome change from city life. There was plenty of wood to be harvested and Ben was kind enough to leave us a pile of deadfall upon arrival.
This was our first experience with self reliant camping and we were really happy with how it went and the natural resources the meadow offered. It was a scorcher when we went and the sun is pretty unforgiving, but a tossed together sun shelter is an easy, rustic fix. We brought a 5 gallon jug of water and had enough to douse our fire at the end of our stay. We chose to create a bucket loo for our "facilities". We removed all of our garbage/waste and disposed of it ourselves.

Love, love, love
Such a great little cabin in the woods. Felt very private but was close to town. We brought our two dogs and they loved all the space to run free and explore on the property. The loft was super cozy and the perfect place to watch the sun rise in the morning. It was chilly at night but we bundled up and slept like babies. Will definitely be back.

Very quiet and serene
Beautiful camping spot! Firewood was supplied and chairs which was a wonderful surprise. Woods nearby if you need extra materials to start fire. Would definitely recommend this spot if you are looking for a relaxing spot for rest and relaxation. Very quiet and serene

The site is beautiful and exceptionally private. Ben was extremely responsive and offered recommendations for the town, coffee, food and anything else of interest. If you want a remote, secluded experience, completely silent at night with a starry lit sky - this is your spot.

A secret blue bunkie!
Wonderful experience, 10/10 - would recommend to anyone looking to get away from the city. Bunkie was bright, clean, and more spacious than expected! Nicely hidden away from the main road, so you feel totally secluded (I drove right past my first go around - Ben emails very specific and helpful instructions, use those and it’s smooth sailing)
Ben was very tentative and kind, a great host!
100% will be returning in the near future!

Great little, bunkie on a large, quiet, beautiful piece of land. Clean, dry, and bright. Was a great place to get some sleep on a recent Bikepacking trip. The owner (Ben) was quick to respond to all questions. Highly recommended.

Small Footprint. Big adventure.
Beautiful little bunkie on an amazing property. Amazing view of the forest that borders a small meadow. It truly is minimalist- you’ll need to bring virtually everything you’ll need for your stay. For the less prepared, town is really only 10 minutes away - though you’d never know it given the private location. Lots of forest to explore.
The host was incredibly helpful and responsive, and able to provide lots of info about the area. Would definitely recommend this location to anyone just looking to get away for some peace and quiet.
We are looking forward to visiting the bunkie again!

This bunkie was excellent! Ben was helpful and very responsive, the land was gorgeous, and it was so relaxing! We didn’t bring a heat source, but just many wool layers. Would definitely recommend bringing something warm! But the fire pit was excellent, and we had a lovely stay!!

Amazing views with Peace and Quiet
A great private space with beautiful views from the floor to ceiling windows :) Would definitely recommend staying here!
In winter definitely bring a heat source for inside, so you can focus on the peace and quiet of this beautiful place. Our small propane heater did the trick.
Hope to come back in the spring and summer :) Thank-you again Dan for all your help its much appreciated.

What a great place to stay! Solitude, nature & comfort. The minimalistic bunkie is all you need: beautiful windows, a fire pit a short walk away, a soft mat to sleep on & an incredible natural location with meadows and fields galore! Ben was so helpful and responsive. He even checked in on me to see if I made it okay. Ill definitely come back!

Time Well Spent
Ben is a very genial host and I thoroughly enjoyed the couple of days I spent camping on his property.
I had been looking for somewhere to get away from the noise of the city I live in for a few days and Bens Private Meadows and Woods exceeded my expectations,the time spent there was a real tonic and was exactly what |I was looking for.
I will be returning and would have no hesitation in recommending this location.
