About this property

Forest Bunkie • Trails & Stargazing

Choose The Pinecone Bunkie as your off-grid escape to rest, reset, and reconnect with nature. Tucked on 40 forested acres, this cozy retreat invites you to slow down. Guests love the starry skies, quiet trails, and simple comforts—like the outdoor shower, fire pit, and lofted queen bed. Sip coffee on the porch, grill under the gazebo, or unwind by the fire. This is where the noise of everyday life fades away.

Here’s what you’ll enjoy during your stay:
• A peaceful bunkie tucked in 40 forested acres
• Queen bed in a cozy loft (accessible by ladder)
• Fire pit with wood, 2 grills, and a shaded gazebo
• Simple kitchen setup with 2 person dining table, cooler, utensils, and BBQ
• Shower with warm water, shared toilet & outdoor well water tap
• Picnic table for outdoor dining
• Dog-friendly space with lots of room to roam
• Trails for exploring, star-gazing, and reconnecting

WHAT WE PROVIDE
• Bed linens and pillows
• Basin for sponge/cloth baths
• Toilet paper
• Grill for BBQ (bring your own charcoal)
• BBQ utensils
• First aid kit

WHAT TO BRING
• Drinking water
• Ice & food
• Coal for grilling
• Extra blankets
• Bug spray, sunscreen, garbage bags

Washroom & Shower: A shared washroom with warm/cold shower, toilet, and outdoor well-access tap is nearby and easy to access.

Water & Electricity There is no drinking water on-site—please bring your own. Electricity is available in the bunkie (solar-powered).

Wi-Fi & Cell Service: There is no Wi-Fi and very limited or no cell service. Plan to unplug and enjoy the quiet.

Garbage: There are no large garbage bins and no road side pickup. Please be prepared to bring your garbage to the dump during your stay, or you need to bring it home with you to dispose of. If any garbage is left behind a $75 cleanup, transfer and dump fee will be charged.

Temperature & Seasons: The bunkie is available year-round, however, it is not insulated. If you are coming in winter or intermit weather, we are assuming you "know what you're in for" and will pack and dress appropriately to be in the bush. In winter, the road may not be plowed and could require a short walk in. Bring extra blankets for chilly nights.

Small but cozy

Nice private location. Very small cabin. Bring a propane camping stove to boil water and do some cooking. Lots or rubbish in area immediately surrounding the cabin. Could use a clean up. In a nice forested area. One tick on our clothes.

July Norfolk County Bike Trip

Fine place to sleep. Well vented. Lots of mosquitos on the property. Wonderful coyote pack noises at night. Biking in is simple with multiple routes possible. A great base if you want to carry minimal gear while cycling. No cell signal on site made the check in process difficult due to errors in confirmation email.
