About this house rental
Sleep under the stars on a 111 acre tree farm. This rustic experience allows you to live off-grid and among nature. There are a number of trails and naturalized areas to explore as well as a number of close-by amenities within a 5 minute drive including 2 ski resorts, apple picking, farmers markets and hiking trails. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to not require a long travel commitment, this place is a great way to relax and unwind.
The property is a 111 acre farm with many forested and naturalized areas for exploration.
The yurt has a queen sized bed and is heated with a wood stove. There is a small kitchenette and a sitting area inside the yurt. The bathroom is located in a shed outside the yurt. The bathroom contains a high end compost toilet and a sink but does not have a shower.
Outside of the yurt is a fire pit and some chairs. It is a great place to sit and relax as well as cook.
Guest access
Guests have access to the entire property except for the large barn and house on the farm.
Other things to note
It is important to note that the yurt is heated only by woodstove use which requires guests to be proficient at starting and maintaining fire. Wood will be provided.
This yurt is off-grid which means that the only power available is solar and battery power. This type of power allows for lights and a charging station. Also because the yurt is off-grid, the water available for use is in jugs (one inside the yurt and one inside the bathroom). The property does not contain a shower.
Also please realize that the property is a working farm. Although the yurt is away from the crop growing areas, it is possible that you may come across farm employees and equipment if you explore the property. All farm equipment is off limits for any guests.

The Yurt was awesome! This was an amazing experience. The skylight was outstanding as we could just stare at the clouds during the day, after we rested from our walks. The woodstove made the yurt quite warm at night which was great. We were impressed with how clean and modern the inside of the yurt was, as well as the washroom. All the supplies and more were there as we needed them for our stay. The howls of the coyotes was a surprise and slightly startled us at first but made the experience all the more memorable along with all the other wildlife we heard. Every now and then a wasp or two would get into the Yurt but they never aggressive so it was okay. All in all we are very impressed and will try and come again in the winter!

We had a great time in the yurt. The place was very well equipped with drinking water, a warm wood stove (all set up for an easy first lighting), a well-lit and very clean outhouse, and even a small battery bank for a lamp and recharging electronics. Communications were excellent and check in and check out was super easy. Road in is better on the east than from the west if it matters.It was cold at night outside (2C) when we stayed and, as long as we kept the wood stove well fed (firewood provided) we stayed nice and warm.

We stayed for one night to attend my son’s wedding. Cute yurt. Beautiful property. However, this is not a location for cooler weather. We arrived at 0100 hrs to a freezing cold yurt. It is wood stove heated. So we had the fire going immediately. The size of the wood stove is small and only takes a few pieces of wood but doesn’t heat up quickly. In light of this we were up every 2 hours adding more wood, slept in our clothes and hoodies with 3 blankets to try and keep warm. The dome roof was open (we didn’t realize until later in the night. Couldn’t find the stick to close the roof (please paint the handle a colour). Lighting is very poor so we finally used a broom to close the roof. Found the proper stick in the morning when the lighting was better .Had a good belly laugh, note to self, no yurts in colder weather!
