IMPORTANT
We are committed to protecting our properties and keeping up-to-date with short-term rental regulations, which is why you will be asked to complete our independent verification. Please note: Before your booking begins, you will need to verify your details with us to complete your booking. You will be contacted via email and/or text to complete the verification. You will also be given the choice between paying a refundable deposit or buying a non-refundable damage waiver. We suggest you buy the damage waiver as this protects you in case you cause accidental damage during a booking.
We are not available on site but can be called for any questions or emergencies. There is very limited cell reception in the area so you may have to leave location to contact us. You can get cell reception at the front gate but no wifi.
You will have access to the entire bunkie and fire pit location with the surrounding outdoor space and parking. You are free to enjoy the trails but ask that you refrain from entering the farm fields or barns nearby.
There is approximately 40 acres of forest. We will be building more bunkies but they will be spread apart and you will have total have privacy!
15 minutes from Port Dover or Simcoe – it’s the perfect retreat for a quick getaway.
Come to the Pinecone to completely relax and disconnect (seriously you will because there is no cell service!).

During Summer and much of Spring and Fall, you should be able to drive up to the cabin. Unless your vehicle has especially low clearance. The road/path out to the bunkie started as a well-made tractor path that has held up well over the years but has some rocks and bumps. Once through the gate it’s only a 1-minute drive to where you will park. This road may be a bit muddy!

If you are looking for a Winter Bunkie getaway, we would be happy to host you; please note the following:

If there has been a lot of snow the private road from the street to the Bunkie is not plowed. Depending on the type of vehicle you are driving, you may have to park at the gate entrance and walk in (4-5min walk) to get to the Bunkie.

There is a mini wood fireplace in the Bunkie for sleeping but depending on the temperature outside and/or the wind it still may be a little chilly.

There is lots of free wood available for an outside fire but we are sometimes low on small pieces to start fire or use for the mini fireplace. You can bring in your own extra kindling or bring own saw/axe to chop.

Bring your own extra blankets.

DETAILS:

Sleeping loft accessible by ladder comfortably sleeps 2.

You'll have an outdoor fire pit, picnic table and 2 grills (we have lots of wood but you can bring your own charcoal for cooking). Enjoy watching the starts at night by the fire and visits from the abundant wildlife.

There is 1 queen size bed in the loft for sleeping which is accessible by ladder. You will melt into the pillow-top mattress, luscious linens and don’t want to wake up heavenly pillows.

Our well-appointed bathroom features a refreshing shower with both warm and cold water, ensuring you feel rejuvenated after a day of adventure. With running water readily available, you'll have everything you need for a relaxing getaway.

Plus, our convenient tap located at the side of the washroom is easily accessible for all guests.

There is a small table for 2 inside the bunkie or you can prep food and eat outside on the picnic table. A small fridge cooler is available to store any perishable food you may have. Bring your own ice.

The bunkie has solar lighting for the evenings. If you don’t want to find your own firewood in the forest you can pick it up from locals on your way in for $5/bundle (see stands at the end of driveways).

It is a big chunk of land but you can't really get 'lost' on it for any significant period of time. We are bounded by roads so eventually you will find your way. But, if you aren't experienced in the woods you may want to keep your wandering short, to start, as you get familiar with the land.

Dog friendly!!
