The space
Come to the Hedgehog to completely relax and disconnect (seriously, you will because there is no cell service!).
You can drive up to the Bunkie all year round unless your vehicle has especially low clearance. The road/path out to the bunkie started as a well-made tractor path that has held up well over the years but has some rocks and bumps. Once through the gate it’s only a 1-minute drive to where you will park. This road may be a bit muddy!
If you are looking for a Winter Bunkie getaway, we would be happy to host you; please note the following:
- If there has been a lot of snow the private road from the street to the Bunkie is not plowed. Depending on the type of vehicle you are driving, you may have to park at the gate entrance and walk in (4-5min walk) to get to the Bunkie.
- There is a wood fireplace in the Bunkie for sleeping, it will keep you very toasty.
- There is lots of free wood available for an outside fire. We have a small grill available for cooking, bring your own coal.
- Bring your own extra blankets and sleeping bags.
- A bunkie with running water inside and outside and comes along with a hydro.
- NOTE: There are 2 other bunkies in the area and camping spots in the summer; you will have lots of privacy but be aware you may not be alone across the full 40 acres!

You'll have an outdoor fire pit and grill (we have lots of wood, but you can bring your own charcoal for cooking). Enjoy watching the starts at night by the fire and visits from the abundant wildlife.
Our well-appointed bathroom features a refreshing shower with both warm and cold water, ensuring you feel rejuvenated after a day of adventure. With running water readily available, you'll have everything you need for a relaxing getaway.
Plus, our convenient tap located at the side of the washroom is easily accessible for all guests.
The bunkie has solar lighting for the evenings. If you don’t want to find your own firewood in the forest you can pick it up from locals on your way in for $5/bundle (see stands at the end of driveways).
It is a big chunk of land but you can't really get 'lost' on it for any significant period of time. We are bounded by roads so eventually you will find your way. But, if you aren't experienced in the woods you may want to keep your wandering short, to start, as you get familiar with the land.
