About this space

Seeking a nature fix? This custom built Yurt sits on a platform in a small clearing in the forest. Perfect for a romantic getaway, there are many trails to explore on this 100 acre property. Woodstove (wood included), indoor composting toilet, kitchenette, 12V lighting & USB power included – camping in style.

The Yurt was erected by Canadian Icon Bill Lishman, aka Father Goose, inspiration for “Fly Away Home“. Request special offer for multi day pricing.

The space

We are an hour East and North of Toronto. The Yurt is 1Km from entrance. Most of the year you can drive right to the yurt. In the winter you will hike in about 1 Km. A snowmobile with sled will deliver your gear. Mike will be your contact and you can reach him during your stay by phone or text. The property features many sculptures by the late Canadian artist Bill Lishman. The location is remote and private.

An outdoor screened in porch is available in summer for outdoor eating.

It is very important to note that when we have the yurt open during winter, you will be responsible for feeding the wood stove. Wood is provided. Fire will be lit before you arrive but you must keep adding wood.

Guest access

Many hiking, mountain biking, snowshoeing trails.

Other things to note

On request and depending on availability, guests may be offered a tour of the unique Lishman earth integrated underground home, featured on many television programs, Youtube (eg. Kirsten Dirksen, Rob Rogers), Canadian Geographic, Wikipedia, The Canadian Encyclopedia, and Hello Magazine.
