Experience life on a tiny farm just outside the city! Guests describe our place as like staying in a petting zoo. All the animals are very friendly and come right up for love, scratches and especially apples! You will wake up to the sounds of chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, goats, rabbits, sheep, horses and cows. Staying in our barn loft is a true farm experience but with all the luxury of home and more. Guests are welcome to participate in the morning and evening feedings and a meet and greet with the animals. Our farm is conveniently situated midway between Niagra Falls and Toronto and is a perfect spot to relax in between exploring all that these regions have to offer. The Bruce trail and many other excellent hiking trails are at your doorstep during your stay. There are several nature sancutaries within walking distance and the Royal Botanical Gardens, the largest botanical garden in Canada and a national historic site, is just 4 km away.
The space
Completely private and detached 350 square foot loft apartment located on the upper level of our barn. The lower level of the barn houses the resident animals which are turned in at night to their stalls. The 6 acre property also has a main residence where the property owners live.
Guest access
For the safety of the animals that live at the farm and for the safety of the guests, we ask that guests do not open any cages, pens or gates besides the ones marked specifically in the check in details. At no time should the guests enter the gated pasture where the animals graze as some of the animals will bite or kick people they are unfamiliar with.
The animals that live at the farm become stressed and upset when other animals such as dogs come onto the property. For this reason we are not able to accept pets.
Other things to note
Please keep in mind when you are deciding to book with us that the apartment is located on the top level of a barn that is surrounded by the animals that live on the farm. You will be fully immersed in farm life and all that it entails upon entering and exiting the gated staircase that leads to the apartment. In rainy weather it can be muddy. Boots are recommended for spending time around the farm.
