About this property

The Naturalist

The perfect glamping experience! Enjoy all the outdoors have to offer with minimal set up! Your comfortable Bunkie, complete with double bed, is just steps away from your private Bon fire pit. Visit our shared sauna and cold plunge for some R&R. Enjoy the trails on the property, or head down the road to the lake. Or, if you want to go a bit farther, we are well located to visit Bon Echo, Sharbot Lake, Perth and more!

Take a rest near our beaver pond on the property or head a few minutes down the road and visit beautiful Bull Lake for a swim or a paddle, canoes are available for rent at our main house.

On your site you will find a private outhouse, an outdoor shower with an on demand water heater, a fire pit and picnic table. If you are looking for a more traditional bathroom experience, a few steps down the road you will find our shared washroom building.

Our kids enjoyed tent camping and we appreciated the bunkie with a comfy double bed, convenient access to an outhouse and heated (outdoor) shower and beautiful fire pit.

Two night stay

I was looking for a quiet solo getaway and found this place to be perfect for me! Included pots/pans and a grill for cooking, drinking water on site and heated water in the outdoor shower. The sauna and cold plunge were a nice bonus too!

We loved our stay! It was just perfect. We had everything we needed. The hosts were very responsive and helpful when we had questions about the area, or needed clarification on anything. Enjoyed cooking by fire, and were lucky to not have any rain. The hikes in the area were incredible. We saw a fox, a porcupine, a barred owl and lots of other beautiful birds. The location was very quiet and private, and we didn’t come across anyone else u less we left the property. We would definitely visit again and stay longer
Cutest, perfect bunkie!
This outdoor shower was amazing:)
