About this house rental

RATES ARE BASED ON TWO PERSONS occupying the Bunkie.
Each additional person, including children are extra.
Children 5 and under are FREE (do NOT include them in your quote)

It is our policy at New Year's, May and September long weekends, if there are no children in the group, that we rent to a maximum of TWO adults only.

+++

This unique rental is ideal for a single person, a couple or a small family with young children. Sleeps four comfortably.

It is also a great opportunity to embrace the concept of 'tiny house living'

Greystone 'Bunkie' was, at one time, our travel trailer when our children were young. It has been retired and is a permanent location under shelter.

Located on a fenced-in, 1 acre property surrounded by 430 acres of our private wildlife/nature reserve and managed forest, you couldn't ask for a more serene and peaceful place to enjoy your holiday. Bring your binoculars and camera!

Our private greenhouse and vegetable gardens are located within this one acre plot. The fence is to keep the deer out but is also ideal if you have young children ... they can run and play safely (of course, not in gardens and flowerbeds).

The BUNKIE is fully equipped with everything you'll need to enjoy your holiday -- all you need bring is food, clothes and personal items -- including the comfort of air conditioning for muggy evenings.

Kitchen, dining area, sitting area; 2 extra long single bunk beds; private master bedroom with double bed (new pillow top mattress 2019); full washroom with shower/tub.

There is a private patio with table, chairs and umbrella outside your front door; a fire pit (with wood and chairs supplied). Plenty of flowers and a wide variety of birds.

This location is a perfect artist or writer's getaway; ideal for birdwatchers, nature lovers, hikers, stargazing and just getting away from the hustle and bustle of life.

The Bunkie is NOT on the water.

The Bunkie is accessed via a steep paved and concrete driveway with paved parking inside the Bunkie fence.

We are located on the scenic route approximately half-way between Owen Sound and Wiarton, Ontario, Canada.

About 2.5 hours' drive from Toronto airport area; 5 hours from Buffalo; 3 hours from Sarnia.

My partner and I greatly enjoyed our two-night stay in the Bunkie over the Canada Day 2023 weekend. Quiet, private and offering all the amenities we needed to make our own meals, the location provides a great opportunity to explore the Bruce peninsula away from the crowds, whether driving to and hiking in nearby parks or exploring the expansive network of trails on the property. Sue is very kind and welcoming -- thanks for the hospitality!

We really enjoyed our stay in the bunkie. It took a day to warm up but it was cozy after that. The fenced property was perfect for the kids & our small dog to run around. We enjoyed hiking on the trails and such a variety of apples everywhere! Everything was as described and we really appreciated the access to a 2nd bathroom & laundry. We had a lovely Thanksgiving dinner under the covered patio by the greenhouse. Would love to return in the summer! Susan was the perfect host.

Susan was very attentive host. Enjoyed our conversation. She gave us tips on what to see on peninsula. Really enjoyed her home grown tomatoes and chocolate zucchini bread. She also has many trails on the property that we didn't have enough time to explore.
