Welcome to the sweetest little off-grid cabin situated deep within a 300-acre nature reserve and private lake.  Once a hunting camp this land is now a refuge of peace for all; animals and humans. We are blessed to be surrounded with water, trees and silence. It's our mission to protect and conserve this piece of land and everyone who lives here.  Hunting, fishing and violence of any kind is forbidden here.  We ask that all visitors refrain from bringing any animal products onto the property during their stay to remain in line with our dream of creating a place of peace for all. Although we rescue many animals and foster them until release or adoption, our mission is to provide a safe place for the once hunted animals to live in peace to raise their families and live their lives.  This land also serves as a place for humans to find peace and retreat from our often unnatural world.
Beside our home, in "The Bunkie" we invite guests to visit the tranquility of nature and the joy in doing little harm to other beings and the planet. No matter the season beauty and the peace which is found here is abundant.

The space

The Bunkie" is a cozy and quiet cabin beside our home, a stone's throw from the lake. Here you will sit inside the screened in porch and listen to the loon's call, watch the humming birds at the feeder or maybe get a visit from the beavers and other wildlife who live here. Inside the Bunkie is bunk bed with double on the bottom and single on top which comfortably sleeps 3 people. There is a fridge, two burner stove and kitchen supplies to make your own meals. The Bunkie has a fancy bright new bathroom with a gorgeous view of the lake and a relaxing and hot rain-tower shower. Once you venture outside there are endless opportunities for hiking, snow shoeing, skating, x-county skiing, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, and paddling boarding. The bunkie is also the perfect place to just sit quietly, lay in the hammock and enjoy nature, meditate, read, write or just be.

Location

Neighborhood

Although we are very isolated the bunkie is only a 10 minute drive to the quaint town of Tamworth. Tamworth has a wonderful and renowned used bookstore which attracts visitors far and wide. There are also a couple coffee shops and cafes which could use some vegan encouragement. Also near by (20 minute drive) there a special Dark Sky viewing area. The spot is the most southerly point in Ontario that offers a night sky experience very similar to what was available more than 100 years ago.
