Spacious apartment on homestead; Experience sustainable living
The apartment is a self contained private unit with its own entrance. It is within our house, but all spaces, including the entrance, are private to the renter. Cold Creek Homestead is nestled on the border of Northumberland and Hastings counties near the rural village of Wooler. We raise chickens for eggs and honey bees. We have a large market garden and several fruit trees. We have a wide range of homemade items such as jams, jellies, baba ganoush, pesto, honey, etc., depending on the season. We're always trying something new. The 35 acre property backs on to Cold Creek which can be accessed by a 1.5 km walking trail. We own a local bird feeding/watching and nature store in Belleville and have set up a bird feeding station for you to enjoy directly outside the apartment window. Within 30 minutes are several lovely Ontario towns including Brighton, Warkworth, Cobourg, Campbellford, Frankford, and Trenton. The Waterfront Trail and Prince Edward County are at your doorstep. Plenty of provincial parks and conservation areas offer excellent beaches, hiking, swimming, cycling and birdwatching. There are dozens of craft breweries and wineries, farmer's markets and one of Ontario's best waterfront patios, all nearby. Many of the local farms are open to the public for apple and berry picking, and several offer an opportunity to meet their animals. Come experience our sustainable, country lifestyle!

It was difficult to access info about the listing from the website - definitely not a criticism of the host! Absolutely no problems at all with the host or the location. The vrbo website, however... very discouraging.

Hi Janice,
Hope you got to your niece's function without any problems today. I'm happy to hear all went well with your stay, but am sorry you had difficulties with the VRBO platform. I have passed your feedback on to VRBO.
Enjoy the rest of your trip.

Great property and location, Laura and family were very helpful and generous with both the stay and providing us anything extra we needed. Very friendly throughout the stay and our daughter loved collecting eggs from their chicken coop and playing with their pets.We would definitely stay here again.
We loved staying at this lovely well appointed apartment. The location was perfect to tour around the area to Warkworth, Stirling and Brighton. The trail on the property was nice and we enjoyed watching the chickens and many birds at the feeders. A very relaxing stay!
We really enjoyed staying at the farm. Everything was perfect. My kids enjoyed the chickens, picking eggs, and playing with Kiwi the dog.The location was perfect for everything we wanted to do.
Check in was easy and seamless, the unit was impeccably clean. Laura was an absolute delight to communicate with and even let me know where the soap that I fell in love with was from, honestly it was such a peaceful stay with my fiance.
The space was clean, comfortable and perfect for what we needed. The location was beautiful, especially having access to the backlot trail after driving all day! Laura was a great host and easy to contact when we needed to. Overall great experience!
Bright, spotless room with a walk-out basement onto a lovely yard with cute chickens close by (in a pen). Very friendly host and cute puppy may greet you as you wander the 34 acres of beautiful treed property, including a 1.5 km path through the trees and fields. Minutes from the 401, this location is ideal for your stop over on the way to the Thousand Islands.
We spent teo nights here as we were in tge area ti visit family. Its a lovely property and a nicely appointed apartment. Hosts were friendly and accomodating. We were able to buy their farm fresh eggs to share with family.
This unit was perfect for us…peaceful and in the country but close enough to Trenton (by vehicle of course). It is very spacious and clean. We’d definitely stay again.

The place is very nice, peaceful, and comfortable. The hosts are friendly and very welcoming. Easy to access, we can discover the area with its beautiful beaches, winery, and lovely towns
Thanks for having us
We loved our stay. Very clean and close to where we need to be. The daughter (sorry don’t know your name) was very nice and brought my daughter to see the chickens. Which she LOVED. Thank you.
Absolutely wonderful experience! The hosts are exceptional folks, and the surrounding area is rural and beautiful. I definitely recommend this getaway, and would stay again.
You will enjoy the chickens and garden right outside your door and a beautiful walking path full of wildflowers (in season.) I was traveling for work, but this was such a refreshing place to rest.

Very nice rental in the country. The rental was spacious, clean, and private. It offered an outdoor sitting area with a lovely country view. The hosts were friendly and helpful. Would definitely return in the future.
I was very happy staying here, the apartment was nicely renovated with a comfortable bed. The door faces a wide open field and there is some wildlife on the property that adds to the atmosphere. The hosts are friendly and helpful.
The rental was just perfect for what we needed. Beautiful surroundings, Laura was an awesome host and it was quiet and tranquil and a really nice place to stay. Loved seeing the chickens and all of the birds coming to the feeders. 10/10 for sure!!
The apartment is located in a small village and is ideal for nature lovers and bird watchers. It has direct access to a 1.5-kilometer trail. Everything was very clean and well maintained. Laura and Dan are very good hosts.
Thanks again for the honey just extracted!

About the host
Hosted by Laura
We moved here the summer of 2021. We've had a long-term dream of homesteading and living a more independent and sustainable lifestyle. We're both outdoor nature-minded people, who enjoy hiking, cycling, cross-country skiing, gardening, and doing things with our hands. If you're interested in a quiet stay, or would like to learn about the property or perhaps sharing your adventures, please let us know. Dan is an avid birdwatcher as well and knows a few good places to go to see interesting wildlife. We own a local bird feeding/bird watching and nature store in Belleville. Our dog Kiwi lives on the property and our chickens can be out and about. Nous parlons francais tous les deux. Wir sprechen beide Deutsch.
Why they chose this property
There's lots to do on the homestead and we're happy to show you around. We have a mixed flock of about 23 hens. We keep honey bees, which you are welcome check out. We planted an orchard consisting of pears, apples, apricots, cherries and plums. We haven't had much fruit yet, but are looking forward to more coming each year. There's also a big vegetable garden with all manner of veggies and cut flowers. Laura makes preserves, sauces, pickles and whatever else she dreams up! There's always something to try and we usually have some jars or eggs for sale to bring home. There's a relaxing 1.5 km trail which leads through the meadows and woodlot to Cold Creek.
