Guest access
Free Parking & Getting Here
Free parking is available on the gravel driveway directly beside the Tiny Home for easy unloading and access. Check-in details and directions will be provided before your arrival.
Fire Pit
Enjoy cozy evenings under the stars around your private fire pit, located just steps from the Tiny Home. Firewood is available for purchase ($15 per bag).
Walking Trails
Explore our peaceful 40-acre bush lot with natural trails winding through the trees — a wonderful way to slow down and enjoy the outdoors. Trails are not marked, so we recommend staying on visible paths, especially with dogs. Some areas border neighboring properties, so please respect surrounding land and remain on the trails.
Biking
Our quiet, low-traffic country roads are ideal for cycling, with mostly paved routes nearby. Guests are welcome to bring their own bikes, as we do not provide rentals on-site.
Winter Wonderland – Ski, Snowshoe & Toboggan
Winter transforms the property into a peaceful snowy retreat, perfect for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or enjoying the fresh country air. A gentle hill behind the Tiny Home is great for tobogganing! Please bring your own equipment, and enjoy all outdoor activities at your own risk.
