You will have access to the entire bunkie and fire pit location with the surrounding outdoor space and parking. You are free to enjoy the trails but ask that you refrain from entering the farm fields or barns nearby.

There is approximately 40 acres of forest. There are 2 other bunkies close by, you still have lots of privacy but may see other guests walking down the road during your stay.

15 minutes from Port Dover or Simcoe – it’s the perfect retreat for a quick getaway.

Come to the Pinecone to completely relax and disconnect (seriously you will because there is no cell service!).

During Summer and much of Spring and Fall, you should be able to drive up to the cabin. Unless your vehicle has especially low clearance. The road/path out to the bunkie started as a well-made tractor path that has held up well over the years but has some rocks and bumps. Once through the gate it’s only a 1-minute drive to where you will park. This road may be a bit muddy!

If you are looking for a Winter Bunkie getaway, we would be happy to host you; please note the following:

If there has been a lot of snow the private road from the street to the Bunkie is not plowed. Depending on the type of vehicle you are driving, you may have to park at the gate entrance and walk in (4-5min walk) to get to the Bunkie.

*** Electricity is available via a diesel generator. To have access you must either pay $40 additional for the fuel or bring your own. ***

Bring your own extra blankets.

DETAILS:

Sleeping loft accessible by ladder comfortably sleeps 2.

You'll have an outdoor fire pit, picnic table and 2 grills (we have lots of wood but you can bring your own charcoal for cooking). There is a gazebo in the sitting area. Enjoy watching the starts at night by the fire and visits from the abundant wildlife.

There is 1 queen size bed in the loft for sleeping which is accessible by ladder. You will melt into the comfy bed and enjoy waking up to views of the treetops!

The shared washroom features a shower with both warm and cold water, sink and toilet.

Plus, our convenient tap located at the side of the washroom is easily accessible for all guests.

There is a small table for 2 inside the bunkie or you can prep food and eat outside on the picnic table. A small fridge cooler is available to store any perishable food you may have. Bring your own ice.

The bunkie has solar lighting for the evenings. If you don’t want to find your own firewood in the forest you can pick it up from locals on your way in for $5/bundle (see stands at the end of driveways).

It is a big chunk of land but you can't really get 'lost' on it for any significant period of time. We are bounded by roads so eventually you will find your way. But, if you aren't experienced in the woods you may want to keep your wandering short, to start, as you get familiar with the land.

Dog friendly!!
