Tiny House in the Big Woods

Learn more about this land:

Follow the dancing squirrels and singing birds to find this Tiny House in the Big Woods... a land where crickets sing as the sun goes down and chipmunks dance in the light of the moon. Where the summer night wind whispers gently through the trees and the stars glisten in the scented night skies. Next to the Tiny house is a meadow brimming with life; sweet apple blossoms, wild flowers, and honey bees to delight the senses.

Quietly nestled  near a spring fed pond brimming with fish, turtles, and frogs; this Tiny House is a welcome  retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. With close proximity to Toronto, this is off-grid unplugged-relaxation at it's finest. The space is functional, very rustic, and a bit of a work in progress. There is a wood stove to keep the space somewhat warm in the cooler months, a 2 burner propane cook top stove and kitchen essentials.  There's a BBQ and grill over the Fire Pit for your cooking needs.  It is a 5-7 minute walk from the parking spot to get to the cabin. 

ABOUT THE SPACE:

- camping essentials are provided

- BBQ with propane

- 5 gallons of drinking water will be provided

- no running water/showers

- your own private fire pit with grill

- firewood is available

- urine-diverting composting toilet

  Nearby attractions include hiking and swimming at Rockwood Conservation area, Bellwood Lake, hiking along the Bruce Trail in Limehouse, mountain biking at Kelso Conservation area just 20 min drive away.

I like to make bright-fun-happy spaces... with silly pillow faces!

Pootcorners Alpacas

Purchased in 1989, this small piece of heaven was developed by Peter & Suelaine Poot into a home for their family and beginning in 2004, a welcoming alpaca farm.  The bush area has been used for camping by many local and visiting scouting groups over the years.  In 2021, we joined Hip Camp and now allow others to enjoy the beauty, peace, and challenges of camping in our bush.The alpacas are a peaceful herd to watch as they graze their way through the day. Crias (baby alpacas), love to pronk and play in the pastures near their mothers. During May you may observe us shearing the alpacas.  June is the birthing and breeding month.  They birth quickly, so watch carefully. Tours of the farm with explanations of the fibre harvest process and opportunites to walk the alpacas are available to be booked through our website.

Pootcorner's is designed with space and options in mind for both RV camping and tent camping.

Back in the woods is where the tent camping is, it's quiet, private, and very open.

Some of the male alpacas greeting us as we passed on by.

Suelaine is a master at her craft and maintaining her farm as well as managing the animals who she knows by name.

This is one of the shared seating areas for socializing and having a fire, just outside the main house and near one of the alpaca pastures.

The site, while private and tucked away in the woods, is also on a well cleared area of land which makes for lots of options of where to pitch a tent.

Pet friendly, this is a really nice location for dogs to get exercised as long as they're friendly with the other animals.

In all directions are different pastures of alpacas.

Nestled in the woods near the tent camping is an outhouse which is really nice, especially if traveling in a larger group.

Another spot that's super kid friendly and there for the using, a sand box.

Our glamping tent is tucked into the pine forest, sheltered from the elements 🌞
