About this property

Pet Friendly - Gryffin RidgeThe Magic Forest and Hobby Farm

Stay-Relax-Rejuvenate: A luxurious retreat tucked into the trees, just minutes from downtown Huntsville. The Guest House is equipped with everything from a full kitchenette and fiber-optic internet to the wood for your private firepit.

We welcome up to two, 4 legged, well-behaved guests. Your dog (s) will love romping with our 2 Aussies and hiking the many pet-friendly hiking trails in the Huntsville area. We ask that during the initial introduction of your pets to our farm animals, you have them leashed. (this is for the protection of the goats and chickens) Once they meet and greet, in all likelihood, the leash can be dispensed with.

The Heating and Air Conditioning unit is an environmentally friendly heat pump system. It is a true revolution in year-round comfort.
The washroom has a glass shower, vanity and sink. The toilet is a Norwegian designed model called the "Cinderella". A truly unique design that is new to Canada.

Enjoy the picnic table, firepit and hammocks located just outside the fenced pasture area. Please visit our Hobby Farm consisting of Dwarf Nigerian Goats and Exotic Chickens.

The suite looks out over 10 acres of forest. The Guest House is located 1000 feet from the road and is completely private.

Arrowhead Provincial Park, Algonquin Park, Lake of Bays and Limberlost Forest Reserve and Hunters Bay Trail are all within 50 minutes. There are also 3 beaches close by.
We are located 15 minutes north of Bracebridge and 7 minutes south of Huntsville, just off of Highway # 11.
Fairy, Mary, Vernon and Peninsula Lakes are all within minutes of the suite. There are public boat ramps where you can put your boat in the water.
If you don't own a boat but would like to rent one, Huntsville Marine can help you out. There are beaches very close by. Kayak, canoe, boat and paddle board rentals are all available in Huntsville. The rental shop, Algonquin Outfitters, it is in downtown Huntsville and on right on the water!

Our house rules: no smoking, no parties.
Well behaved pets are welcome!
The pets are to stay off the furniture and are not to be left unattended in the Guest House unless crated.

There is just one Guest House on the property. We live on the property but our house cannot be seen from your suite..

Check out time must be no later than 11 a .m.
unless arranged the night before checkout.

Early arrivals are permitted! I will text you once the Guest House has been readied for your arrival. Once you receive the text you can check-in. (2p.m. is the absolute latest in any event)

We were greeted by 2 very cute dogs and some curious goats. The cabin had everything we needed. We woke up to deer on the property to top it all off. Definitely recommend

Anniversary Getaway
We had a great time during our stay. It is a cozy spot with everything you need. The driveway greeters were both lovely and happy to have pets at any time of day. We would go back anytime.

Perfect Thanksgiving Get-away
My husband and I so enjoyed our time in this special retreat. Because of the amenities, and the lovely autumn surrounding, this little cabin far exceeded any hotel room! It was wonderful having our dog Molly be part of this experience. Our host Jim, was very helpful and provided an interesting and personal connection. We could not have asked for anything more during our 3 night stay!

Beautiful, clean, peaceful little house. Comfortable and cozy with everything you’d need. Beautiful location close to town but doesn’t feel like it.

Peace and Tranquility
We absolutely loved our visit at Griffyn Ridge. The rental was large enough for our pack of people and pets and everything we needed was provided by Lynne and Jim. The surrounding space is quiet but close enough Huntsville to take advantage of the town offerings (shopping, hiking, etc.) Our privacy was respected, yet daily conversations with the owners and morning visits from their dogs were very much welcomed. Thanks again for the hospitality!

Peace and tranquility awaits
This is a small but perfectly formed property. The hosts have considered everything, even providing bikes, helmets, head torches and binoculars. The bed was comfortable and the space cosy. Sitting out on the porch listening to the birds singing when it’s raining is just bliss. Frankie and Willow the dogs come down for a visit and the hens and goats make this a very unique space.The hosts are lovely and I can highly recommend Gryffin Ridge.

Above and beyond!!
Jim and Lynne are super friendly and welcoming, they touched based to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The cabin is extremely well appointed and has everything you need and more, the fresh eggs from the hobby farm chickens were a lovely touch and we enjoyed them for breakfast. Gryffin Ridge is delightful, if you’re in need of somewhere to relax and reset, read a book or generally disconnect from the routine of your life then this is the place.
