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.

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.
