About this property

Forest Cabin

  • Forest trails, farm animals, starlit skies, and coyotes howling in the distance — welcome to your own quiet corner of the wild. Tucked into the forest at Everdale's regenerative farm, this off-grid straw bale cabin is a one-of-a-kind retreat for nature lovers, climate-conscious travellers, and anyone craving stillness and space.

    Drive right up to your private hideaway beneath the trees. Inside: a queen bed, cozy living area, and warm, earthen walls. Step out to a covered, open-air kitchenette — the perfect place to sip coffee, cook dinner, or watch the forest move around you.

    The entire cabin is yours, along with access to the surrounding forest and meadows of Everdale Farm.

    Outside your door: a private fire pit, picnic table, and a clean, private outhouse just 20 seconds away. Explore trails, visit the chickens and sheep, or spend your day resting under the trees.

    Built in 2002, this is one of Ontario’s first straw bale buildings — handcrafted with care from natural, breathable materials. Its rounded corners and deep window sills feel like something from the desert Southwest — right here in Southern Ontario. Warm in winter, cool in summer, and powered by solar energy for lights and device charging.

    Everdale is an award-winning organic farm and education centre, committed to climate-positive, regenerative practices. Your stay supports ecological farming, food education, and land stewardship.

    Campfire wood can be purchased for $10/bag. Wood for indoor heat is included.

    No plumbing - water for kitchen and washing is supplied, Three large jugs of potable water and a rain barrel for washing dishes (in warmer months). If you think you will need more than 3 jugs please bring with you!
