About the host

Hosted by Michael Coit

Hello, I am originally from Don Mills Ontario. I have travelled the world but love to stay home in my unique Underground home near Port Perry Ontario. I love to knit and have worked as a designer in the fashion industry my whole career, now retired, and lucky to share this beautiful property with Guest from all over.

Why they chose this property

We live in the countryside, it is very quiet.

What makes this property unique

This property is very unique. My late husband Bill Lishman was famous for his sculpture work, many of the pieces are on display. He also trained Canada Geese to fly behind his ultralight aircraft and was the inspiration for the 1995 Hollywood film "Fly Away Home" his character is portrayed by Jeff Daniels. The runway where the birds were trained and imprinted are still in use. The property consists of 100 acres of mixed forests and clearings with rolling hills, sand dunes, spring fed swimming hole and a gravel pit. We have many km of trails to explore and hidden art pieces to discover, a perfect place for walking, mountain biking, electric dirt biking or snowshoeing in the winter.
