Secluded glamping site in a soaring maple forest! Visit this beautiful location in a 20-acre mature maple forest complete with the mossy rocks of the Niagara Escarpment. This is the perfect place to reconnect to nature, unplug, relax, clear your mind, read, meditate, and get away from the noise of everyday life. Explore and listen to nature's music as stress melts away, swing in a hammock or sit on a tree platform and rest. Explore and listen to nature's music as stress melts away, swing in a hammock or sit on a tree platform and rest. The cabin is a complete bedroom, fall asleep in a luxurious double bed as you enjoy the delights of camping without the work. This is a truly unique experience, whether you're looking for a secluded romantic getaway or the space to find freedom in solitude. Your site is located 50m down a lit path through the woods. If you love the idea of exploring pristine wilderness but hate the idea of lumpy ground and setting up and tearing down camp, this is the camping you have been waiting for! This cabin offers "glamping" at its finest. You will not be completely off-grid, there is electricity and Wi-Fi is available at the trailhead. Outside, there is a new private outhouse with a compost toilet, outdoor shower, sink and basin for washing. Showers are outdoor and solar (or kettle) heated. Please stay on the trails and limit walking on the moss to reduce damage to this magical environment. When leaving, you should leave-no-trace and be sure your campsite is returned to its natural glory! We charge a minimal cleaning fee; so we do expect site to be left how it was found. Please take everything with you and leave your trash in the parking area. There is a wagon available for transporting any heavy items. There is a shared hot tub near the main house. You must have a reservation for private use to maintain social distancing. There is also a tuck shop items for sale, including firewood, free range eggs, honey, maple syrup and our bees wax candles.

Fantastic Time!
Laura’s land was absolutely stunning. We rented the tent for our short stay. When we first pulled onto the property we were greeted by chickens. It was a lovely little trail walk to the tent in the forest. As soon as we got there Laura came out and greeted us. There’s wagons to help bring your stuff to the campsite. The campsite was the perfect set up for people who want to spend time in the great outdoors but want to do a little glamping. The bathroom was incredibly clean for an outside outhouse and there was an automatic light inside! So helpful for nighttime. Plus there was peat moss to cover your business until you’re no longer embarrassed. All cooking material is provided which made cooking more pleasurable. They provided lots of water for cleaning dishes and washing hands. You hear the coyotes at night and it was such a thrilling part of the adventure. My only criticisms would have been the bed was uncomfortable for me but I am someone who is very picky when it comes to where I sleep and the clouds were blocking the stars the nights we stayed. You can tell there has been loads of thought and love put into this land and we greatly appreciated the hospitality and set up. Strongly recommend this place if you are considering. Also queer friendly folks!

Beautiful, serene, private and highly recommended. The numerous amenities make this stay so comfortable and cozy, while the natural setting immerses you within the forest. Having a private (and very well stocked) kitchen area, bathroom, shower and firepit sets this wonderful stay apart from so many others. You just need to show up and enjoy! I suggest exploring the site as well: the tent is stocked with games, books, puzzles, mozzie coils and other camping goodies. The optional experiences are such a clever addition as well, and I had the pleasure of having Laura prepare breakfast for me. She said she loves to cook, but she obviously also cooks with love. Her breakfast menu was considerate of my dietary needs and very very tasty. Far enough from nearby towns to enjoy truly dark and clear skies at night, but near enough to hidden little gems to hike, swim, shop and munch. We will be back!

Love this place!
This was my second stay with Laura and it was even better than the first as Laura continues to make little upgrades. We were a group of 4 women and we stayed at both the tent and the cabin. The amenities were great, and the cabin and tent were clean, cute and cozy. Thanks again Laura! I will be back for sure!

Great glamping experience!
I loved my solo stay in Stargazing Bell Tent at Laura's! The site was easy to get to and very private. It had everything I needed for a perfect low maintenance camping getaway. The kitchen and private bathroom and shower were both well stocked. Laura was a great host and the use of the hot tub was a great perk! The location was amazing, easy drives to both Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. Great hikes nearby too! I am already planning my next trip with some friends! Thanks again Laura!

Amazing stay
That was the best glamping ever. Laura’s place is very nice and cozy, easy to access. The tent looks even better than on the photos. We enjoyed making bbq near our tent and thanks to Laura’s recommendations we had a very nice experience traveling around. Highly recommend this place and this host.
