Family Style Cottage 5 minutes from the Gaslight District

We opened our two newly renovated bungalows in 2018 with the idea of giving people an escape to nature while still being able to enjoy refined and elegant settings.
Since then we have welcomed hundreds of guests while they enjoy their family time, wedding celebrations or other events.
With the success of Hilltop and Cedar-side House, we are restoring three additional homes on the same property.
We will be able to welcome up to 26 guests by fall 2023.

Make sure to check out our other elegant house Cedar-side Cottage!

Please note: Cedar-side House is located off a private road with a steep hill. It is ploughed regularly during the winter season but tends to be slippery. We recommend arriving in an all-wheel drive vehicle.

This cosy farmhouse is nothing short but an unforgettable experience. The interior of Cedar-side House is newly renovated to capture the intimate stay you will experience.

Cedar-side House showcases an open-concept kitchen equipped with all your desires and needs. We have made sure to include small and large appliances, and all utensils needed to enjoy a delicious pasta dinner or steak on the barbecue.

Along with the kitchen, the house has a well-appointed living room. The room is flooded with natural lighting with books to read and candles to light during a relaxed evening.

There are two private bedrooms fitted with queen-size mattresses and a three-piece washroom equipped with fresh towels and soaps.

Our secluded back deck is designed to be enjoyed all months of the year. It has tasteful lounging furniture with a gas BBQ to help finish off an amazing day with an even better meal. To the right of the deck, there is a fire pit surrounded by Muskoka chairs for those cooler evenings.

We proudly offer a variety of fresh organic produce that we grow 200 ft from the property itself. Along with this are our grass-fed beef, pork and water buffalo. Please message us for more information or questions you have about our menu!

Lastly, the house is just minutes from a 1000 acre Conservation, RARE. Its groomed hiking and biking trails will leave you wanting one more minute amongst nature.
