We are an hour East and North of Toronto. The Yurt is about 1 Km from entrance. in the summer you can drive right to the yurt. In the winter you will hike in about 1 Km. A snowmobile with sled will deliver your gear. Mike will be your contact and you can reach him during your stay by phone or text. The property features many sculpture by the late Canadian artist Bill Lishman. The location is remote and private.

An outdoor screened in area is available in summer for outdoor eating.

* It is very important to note that when we have the yurt open during winter, you will be responsible for feeding the wood stove. Wood is provided. Fire will be lit before you arrive but you must keep adding wood.

Peaceful retreat
The yurt is very comfortable and well-equipped. The setting is very peaceful. Port Perry is only 10 mins away, for buying food or other necessities. I only wish there were better hikes on the property. I wanted to go for an hour long hike, but the trails would lead me back to the yurt after only 20 minutes of walking.
