Fire Pit:
Relax in front of the fire pit located just steps from your cabin — perfect for cozy evenings under the stars. Firewood, and kindling is available for $12 per bag. Please request in advance to ensure availability during your stay.
Walking Trails:
Take a peaceful stroll through our beautiful 40-acre bush lot, with trails winding gently through the trees — a perfect way to connect with nature. Please note that the trails are not marked, so it’s best to stay on the visible paths, especially if you’re walking with dogs. Some parts of the bush back onto neighboring properties, so we kindly ask that you remain on the trails and respect the surrounding land.
Biking:
Our quiet, low-traffic area is perfect for cycling, with most nearby roads paved for a smooth and enjoyable ride. Please note: you’ll need to bring your own bikes, as we do not have any available on-site.
Winter Wonderland – Ski, Snowshoe & Toboggan!
In the winter months, the countryside transforms into a peaceful snowy escape — perfect for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or simply enjoying the crisp air and quiet beauty. There’s even a gentle hill right behind the cabin that’s great for tobogganing! Please bring your own gear for all winter activities, as we do not provide equipment. As always, please enjoy the trails and hills at your own risk.
