Among the thick forest of the Haliburton highlands lies a very tranquil, quiet and still place. The area although rugged and pristine offers many activities for all to enjoy such as hiking/biking/boating/kayaking/beaching etc. To escape the calm environment its only 15 minutes to the quaint village of Haliburton where you can find farmers markets, shops, restaurants and art. The Woodzzz was made for those that enjoy the outdoors and are needing a gentle reminder of what little we need to enjoy the life we live! Welcome to the thick of the forest. Here you will find it easy to relax and unwind. Leave the stresses and worries of everyday life behind and soak in the relaxing/peaceful atmosphere of the woods. Enjoy watching nature through your panoramic window and starlight window. The deck offers plenty of space and sun to enjoy and light up the bbq. Finish off your day with some s’mores on the fire then get cozy in bed next to the woodstove. Minutes away to three lakes and public beach. The Canopy is off-grid and runs electricity from a battery bank, this will be enough for lights and charging a couple of devices. There is a compostable toilet for the dome exclusively and a shared outdoor shower stall on the property. The property is a mature forest where you will find much nature and wildlife. You can explore anywhere you’d like while respecting the privacy of neighbouring units and marked property borders Please indicate if you plan to bring a fur friend. Winter glamping: -Snow tires are a must, AWD is an asset -Sauna is in operation year-round -Shower is closed for winter season

Highly recommend - weekend getaway

Highly recommend. Jordan was fast to respond and accommodated last minute changes. The yurt was clean, comfortable, warm and set amongst beautiful trees and nature. 10/10!!!

Cozy Cabin in the Forest

Do not book!

The cabin is on a pleasant plot of land, but that is the only nice thing I am able to say about this. The sleeping nook is not pictured for a reason: it is terribly small and wouldn't fit 3 people unless they were toddlers. The wood stove is not properly ventilated, and results in smoke in the lofted sleeping area. We had to bail on our second night of the trip because of the smoke causing respiratory and migraine problems. The ladder to the loft should have an advertised weight limit, as it is very flimsy and shaky. The bed and dishes were covered in stains and gunk. We did not receive the wood "extra" we asked for, and a refund was not granted. I advise you not to waste your money or valuable time. Certainly a booking I regret making. The site could be improved by purchasing a new bunkie cabin with proper ventilation with safe sleeping arrangements and cleaning regularly.

Forest Retreat - Dome in the Forest

Thank you Jordan for this weekend getaway. The place was great in the middle of nature. Having the dome warmed up and the wood prepared was great attention to details. The dome was clean. Sauna was excellent after a long day out in the wild. Hope to be back another time. Frank&Sorina

Forest Retreat - Dome in the Forest

Dome camping

The dome was great to stay in, loved every minute of it. It had a hard time driving up a hill but Jordan was the in minutes to help us out. The walk to the dome was all ice, very hard to walk down. Maybe putting some sand boxes out along the trail down so we can put sand down if it get bad. All and all, it was beautiful. He had everything you need already there. We did bring more wood and I'm glad because we needed it. Thank you very much Jordan, it made my birthday a great couple days.

Forest Retreat - Dome in the Forest

Fun in a snow globe!!!

If you get the chance to enjoy this experience, jump on it. The dome is cosy and warm, even when it got to -23!! The sauna is lovely, and the hiking and walking is gorgeous. Jordan had the woodstove lit for us on arrival, and the place was freshly cleaned. The little kitchenette has all the basics and my, oh my, those rocking chairs are heavenly. Thanks Jordan for a sharing this special place - it was just the reset we needed.

Forest Retreat - Dome in the Forest

Charging for cleaning that clearly wasn’t done. Condom found in the sauna was really off putting. Especially since we booked this property for the sauna itself and were unable to use it. Dirty dishes were put away for the next person to find. Firewood is kept outside uncovered so beware visiting during wet days because you won’t be able to build a fire. Adding to why visiting on wet/cold days is a bad idea, the path to the campsite was a solid sheet of ice and it was unkept and hard to walk down with our gear without our dog or us getting hurt. The steps going up to the canopy we’re all screwed in at different heights and sloped in different directions. The Coat rack was left broken, lights outside didn’t work. Jordan was unhelpful and blamed us for all the problems and then implied we didn’t know how to build a fire. Instead of addressing issues he left me a voice message going off on a tangent about how to properly build a fire. Talked over us and made excuses refusing to address any issues. We ended up leaving after the first night.
