About the host
Hosted by Mattimus
I’m Mattimus, the owner of Foxfire Heritage Farm in beautiful Powassan, Northern Ontario. I live and work on our 100-acre heritage farm, raising rare and endangered breeds of livestock, growing fresh produce, and welcoming guests who want to experience the beauty and peace of the countryside.
Hosting is more than just providing a place to stay—it’s about creating an experience. I love sharing the charm of farm life, whether it’s watching the sun rise over the pond, gathering around a campfire under the stars, or introducing guests to our friendly animals. There’s something special about seeing people slow down, breathe deeper, and reconnect with nature during their stay here.
When I’m not tending to the animals, I enjoy exploring our trails, working in the garden, and dreaming up new ways to make our farm even more inviting. I’ve always believed that the best travel memories come from unique, meaningful experiences, and it’s my goal to make every guest’s visit unforgettable.
Whether you’re here for adventure, relaxation, or a bit of both, I’m happy to share local tips, hidden gems, and stories from life on the farm. I look forward to welcoming you to Foxfire Heritage Farm and helping you make memories you’ll carry home with you.

Why they chose this property
We chose this beautiful corner of Powassan, Northern Ontario, because it offers the perfect mix of peaceful seclusion and connection to a warm, welcoming community. Our farm sits among rolling fields, pine forests, and a spring-fed pond, surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature. The quiet here is something special—you can hear the wind through the trees, the call of loons on still mornings, and the crackle of a campfire at night.
Powassan itself is a charming farming community with a proud agricultural heritage. Neighbors wave as they pass, and the pace of life is slower and more intentional. We love being close to local farmers markets, where the season’s freshest produce and handmade goods are on display, and where you can truly get to know the people who grow and make them.
One of the things we enjoy most about this area is its natural beauty in every season. In spring, the fields come alive with wildflowers; in summer, the pond is a perfect spot to cool off; autumn brings spectacular colors and crisp, clear days; and in winter, the snow transforms the landscape into a peaceful wonderland. With hiking trails, small-town events, and easy access to North Bay’s shops and restaurants, this location offers the best of rural living with just the right touch of convenience.
For us, this place is more than just a neighborhood—it’s a way of life. We love sharing it with guests who are looking to experience the calm, beauty, and genuine hospitality that make Powassan so special.

What makes this property unique
What makes Foxfire Heritage Farm truly unique is the combination of authentic farm life, beautiful natural surroundings, and a one-of-a-kind glamping experience. Our Pondside Yurt isn’t just a place to stay—it’s part of a living, breathing heritage farm where rare and endangered livestock roam the pastures, gardens flourish with seasonal produce, and the pace of life slows to match the rhythms of nature.
The yurt itself sits right beside a peaceful, spring-fed pond, offering guests stunning views from sunrise to sunset. Step outside your door and you can sip your morning coffee while watching the mist rise off the water, enjoy an afternoon paddle or swim, or unwind in the evening with a campfire under the stars.
We’ve blended rustic charm with thoughtful comfort—wood heat for cozy nights, comfortable beds with fresh linens, and access to modern amenities like a hot shower and a wood-fired sauna. Our property offers complete privacy and tranquility, yet you’re welcome to explore our trails, visit the animals, or simply relax and take in the scenery.
Each season brings something special here: fresh blooms and baby animals in spring, warm summer days perfect for pond swims, brilliant fall colors, and crisp winter air for snowshoeing. This is more than a getaway—it’s a chance to reconnect with nature, experience the traditions of a heritage farm, and create lasting memories in a setting that feels both peaceful and inspiring.
