Welcome to your private cabin with forest trails, fields, and stars at night. It's a glamping paradise! Privacy and wildlife only an hour from Toronto. Your straw bale cabin has a queen-size bed, a cozy living room with a fireplace, a cute little kitchenette on the porch. Your front yard is a private forest courtyard with a big fire pit, cooking grill and picnic table. Solar power for lights and phone charging. Firewood and water for drinking and washing. And it's just a 20-second hop to the VERY clean and private outhouse. The cabin walls made of straw bales covered with plaster. The deep window sills make it feel like you're in an adobe mud home in Arizona. When we built it in 2002 it was one the first straw bale buildings in Ontario. It's as gorgeous now as as ever. You are free to explore our 50-acre property. There's a bit of everything here. Trails, forests, fields, meadows, rolling hills, and panoramic views. My wife and I live at the front of the farm property, pretty far from the cabin. So you have privacy, but we're available by text or phone if you need us. Interested in local food? Explore our organic vegetable fields, check out the greenhouses, or hang out with our happy chickens and sheep. Ready for a unique dinner experience? Rent the pizza oven in the courtyard of our little community centre, just a two-minute stroll from your hidden cabin. Looking for local fun and adventure? There are a lot of attractions just a short drive away: the Village of Erin, the Pink Hills of Caledon, the Elora-Cataract Trail, GoodLot Brewery, Alton Mill, and much more.Welcome to your private cabin with forest trails and stars at night! Privacy and wildlife only an hour northwest of Toronto. Queen-size bed and cozy living room. Open-air kitchenette on the covered porch with propane camp stove and basic kitchen supplies. Forest courtyard with fire pit, cooking grill and picnic table. 20-second walk to a VERY clean and private outhouse. Cabin is solar powered. Electricity for lights and phone charging. Firewood and water for drinking and washing all included. On one side of the cabin is a pristine provincially-protected cedar forest wetland. On the other side are rolling hills sprinkled with gorgeous veggie fields, hedgerows, and pastureland. We are at the headwaters of the Credit River. At the top of the property, you can see for miles. Trails connect all the wonders of the property - glorious sunsets, forest walks, wide open fields, nature exploration, foraging, wildlife sightings, and a creek that runs year-round in the upland forest at the back of the property. Our region boasts amazing cycling for road bikes, the nearby Elora-Cataract trail, quaint shops in the Village of Erin, excellent hiking, local craft breweries, cideries, and more. No plumbing - water for kitchen and washing is supplied by jugs (potable water) and a rain barrel for washing dishes (in warmer months).

Staying at the forest cabin on Everdale farm is such a calm and peaceful experience. Walking the trails, watching birds, spending time with the sheep is wonderful.

Fabulous peace

What a wonderfully relaxing couple of days we had at the cabin! It was so well appointed that there wasn’t a single thing we lacked. Everything was prepared for our arrival. Bed was comfy and cozy. The peace was Devine. We snowshoed through the woods and felt like the only people in the world. Came home happy and rejuvenated. You couldn’t ask for better hosts. We will be back.

Everdale’s forest cabin is a delight. I loved being tucked away at the edge of the woods. The cabin is lovely, very comfortable, and the wood stove is very powerful. The outdoor kitchen is extraordinary and has everything you might need. Gavin and family were wonderful hosts. I hope to visit again soon.

A beautiful quiet and peaceful place. It felt like we were all alone, yet knew where and how to get in touch with them. Upon arrival we entered the cabin to find a lovely fire going in the wood stove. There was also a carton of farm fresh eggs left for us to enjoy. It was so inviting....we truly felt welcomed. Thank you
