About this space For the outdoor enthusiast. The perfect place to capture or recapture tranquility, completely off grid, we take pride in being free from WI FI. Unplugged, our forest house has a cozy, comfortable and unique ambiance. A cozy reading loft with a take one leave one book case. A cribbage board, cards and dice. Ultimate space for artists, writers, musicians and those seeking glamorous solitude and forest healing. Guest should be experienced and comfortable with forest surroundings. No children. The space There is no wifi in the forest. Our unique little house is filled with artisan love and conversation pieces. An open concept space with brightness of windows everywhere you look. A perfectly peaceful opening with a feel of being hugged by the forest. A hot shower in the house, a cold fresh rain water shower outside, and a boardwalk to the outside privy. An ice box that will keep cold for 48 to 56 hours. Guest access The house sits on about 5 acres of forest. The house and space is all yours during your stay. Parking is off the dirt road and about 200 meters from the forest house. We use our UTV to get to and from the forest house and are more than happy to carry your belongings in and back out for your convenience. Barbers lake is situated across from the main house (a ten minute walk). A canoe and life jackets are accessible anytime during your stay. Other things to note We are working on creating more walking paths. This is brand a new creation for us. This year I hope grow some vegetables for our guests to enjoy during harvest season. You can gather dead limbs from the forest floor, or purchase wood for the fire pit. Township fire status will be posted on the property. In the house the tiny wood stove works nicely to take the dampness and chill off. It would be beneficial to be familiar with operation of a wood stove. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Kitchenette - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 0.5 bathroom - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Wood stove ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Unit size: 324 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113420000/113414000/113413986/4d304412.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Birch Cabin- North Frontenac Lodge Ompah - Hot tub - Pet-friendly - Parking available - Barbecue grill 10 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-05&endDate=2026-02-06&selected=113413986&PinnedHotelID=113413986&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Free daily buffet breakfast ](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/20000/12500/12419/f2730bb3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Best Western Smiths Falls Hotel Smiths Falls - Breakfast included - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning 8.6 Excellent 755 reviews £76 includes taxes & fees 28 Jan - 29 Jan [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-28&endDate=2026-01-29&selected=12419&PinnedHotelID=12419&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 11:00 AM Minimum check-in age - 18 ### Check-out Check-out before 5:00 PM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a private host (a party not acting within their trade, business or profession).

It's cozy and inviting, temporarily making the world a smaller place for you to relax and live worry-free. There were few mosquitos while I was there. I noticed instead more bees, butterflies, and dragonflies (which eat mosquitos to my knowledge). There were also plenty of frogs and a few hummingbirds that frequented the feed. To cook, there's a small gas stove and also a BBQ. The gas stove is in the kitchenette that's supplied with coffee, tea, seasonings, oil, sugar, etc. Things to do: Campfire, sauna, outdoor cold shower (this was hard to commit to but very alleviating), cutting wood, reading & writing on patio or in the gazebo, canoeing, walking in the forest, foraging. I had a wonderful time. This is definitely worthwhile if you're used to the city and have been feeling overstimulated and stressed. ##### Samuel C. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Meaghan D. 6 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### World’s Best Bunkie Judy’s place is such a gem. The pictures don’t touch how perfect it is. There’s so much natural light, natural elements, and thoughtful details throughout. Outside, the hummingbirds flit about while the bunnies munch on the clover. We would stay here again in a heartbeat and have already recommended it to my parents. Thanks Judy! ##### Meaghan D.
