Welcome to your private cabin with forest trails and stars at night! Privacy and wildlife only an hour from Toronto and less than 45 minutes from Brampton, Orangeville, Guelph, Cambridge, Milton, and Kitchener-Waterloo. The cabin has a 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. The forest cabin has walls made of straw bales covered with plaster. It feels like you're inside an adobe building in southwest USA. Deep window sills with curved corners. Built in 2002, it's one the first straw bale buildings in Ontario. It's as gorgeous today as the day it was built! Our 50-acre slice of heaven has it a bit of everything for your private retreat. Trails, forests, fields, meadows, rolling hills, and panoramic views. We 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. Want some quiet time? Looking for a slow down space? Kick back in the cabin or take stroll on the quiet forest trails. 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? GoodLot Brewery, Heartwood Cidery, and other local attractions are just a short drive away. We are looking forward to your visit!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).

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

We loved our weekend at Everdale. Gavin was friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The strawbale cabin was rustic, yet cozy and comfortable. The bed was amazing! The outdoor kitchen is well supplied and having the rainbarrel washing up station was so helpful and convenient. Bonus for us was that, despite the very hot weather, the cabin itself stayed nicely cool. The composting toilet outhouse was indeed one of the cleanest we've ever encountered. No smells at all! The surrounding fields and forest provided lots of privacy and places to walk and explore with our two dogs. Gorgeous setting, and wonderful stay overall. Thank you!

We had an absolutely fantastic experience staying at Forest Cabin at Everdale farm. The cabin was beautifully organized, exceptionally clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Gavin was an outstanding host who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They provided clear instructions for check-in and were readily available to answer any questions we had throughout our stay. Their hospitality and attention to detail truly made our trip memorable. I highly recommend this to anyone who wish to have some peaceful time with their loved ones. There was complete privacy maintained throughout our stay. Whether you're here for a short getaway or an extended stay, you won't be disappointed. We can't wait to come back!
