Being avid hikers ourselves, we realize that there are not a lot of accommodations just off the Bruce Trail. So our main goal is to assist hikers as they explore the Bruce Trail. Whether you are doing the ‘end-to-end ‘ in one go (Bravo!), or doing a more relaxed multi day hike, our little bunkie will be a welcome place to lay your head at the end of the day. Our forest bunkie is nestled in the woods, a few minutes walk off the trail, and conveniently located approximately at the half way point of the Caledon Hills section. You truly feel like you are one with nature here. At night you may hear the coyotes howling in the distance or hear the local raccoons out on their nightly stroll. You have complete privacy at the bunkie. However, if you need assistance our home isn’t too far away. Please note that it is an off-grid bunkie…which means no electricity! We do have lamps available in the bunkie, however bringing your own headlamp or flashlight is recommended. There is a cute, private outhouse w/ washbasin. We have an outdoor shower a little ways away from the bunkie site, with hot water. There is a double bed in the loft. The pull out couch on the main level also can be converted to a double bed. There is no running water at bunkie, however we will have some potable water provided. You will be met upon arrival. PLEASE NOTE: *There is a strict NO fire rule anywhere on the property. *There is a hill (w/some forest stairs) that you will have to navigate to get to bunkie site. Mono Mills is 6 minutes away w/ Starbucks, Tim Hortons, gas stations, pizza. Hockley Village is 7 minutes away, with the must visit Hockley Valley General Store. Orangeville is 15 mins away for all food and supplies you may need. We can assist w/ Bruce Trail (Caledon Hills Section) pick ups/ drop offs if we are available.The bunkie is situated in a super serene forest setting, with an abundance of privacy. Relax and return to nature as you lounge with a book on the bunkie deck, listen to the wind in the trees from the forest chairs situated in the red pine forest, or enjoy the birds and chipmunks from the hammocks. There is a forest path for you to enjoy which meets up with the Bruce Trail (1 minute walk), where you can hike to your hearts content. If you’re feeling super adventurous, and up for a longer morning hike, you can hike for your coffee/tea at Starbucks or Tim Hortons in the nearby community. The super clean outhouse, with a water station (non-potable), is located in close proximity to the bunkie. The lovely outdoor shower is a few minutes away from the bunkie. It is half way down the hill in between our residence and the bunkie.
