Forested Tiny Home Retreat | wood fired Hot Tub | indr/outdr Shower | Rail Trail

Escape to your own private forest retreat in the heart of Ontario’s beautiful Haliburton Highlands.

Nestled among the trees on a peaceful hobby farm near Gelert, this thoughtfully designed tiny home overlooks a lush garden and large pond, offering a unique blend of comfort, nature, and relaxation. Whether you’re seeking a romantic getaway, a wellness retreat, a digital detox, or an adventure-filled escape, you’ll find everything you need to unwind and reconnect.

Designed for year-round enjoyment, the property features a covered cedar porch and a covered wood-burning hot tub pavilion, allowing you to soak comfortably in any season. Enjoy your morning coffee while overlooking the garden and pond, spend your afternoons exploring private forested trails, and gather around the fire pit beneath some of Ontario’s most spectacular star-filled skies.

After a day outdoors, rinse off in the outdoor shower, prepare a meal on the BBQ, or settle into the hot tub and enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature.

Inside, you’ll find a bright and comfortable tiny home equipped with heat, air conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a fully serviced kitchenette with hot and cold running water. The kitchenette includes a premium Nespresso coffee machine to help start your mornings right.

The heated three-piece bathroom offers all the comforts of home, including a flush toilet, vanity, sink, hot and cold running water, and a full-size shower.

Outdoor enthusiasts will love the property’s proximity to the renowned Haliburton Rail Trail, offering kilometres of year-round recreation including hiking, cycling, ATVing, snowmobiling, and nature exploration. Guests can also enjoy access to private on-property trails winding through the surrounding forest.
