About this property

PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING:
Located in Goodwood (made famous by CBC hit show “Schitt’s Creek”,) nestled within the forest sits this private cabin as a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of the urban life.

Set back on a private gated property, this is a cabin in the middle of the woods which is 99% protected forest where modifications and development is completely restricted. It overlooks a large spring-fed pond and has open accessible grounds suitable for a picnic and sun-bathing.

Surrounded by majestic trees as well as being an opportune spot for viewing wildlife which include birds, deer, otters, minks, fox, squirrels, chipmunks and of course bugs both at day and night. Perfect spot for one person, couple or more to enjoy the indoors and outdoors.

No visitors are allowed for safety security and insurance reasons. This is a private property and I also reside on said property 400 feet away in a separate residence. Only the people on the reservation are allowed on the property. If you plan on having visitors please do not book.

There is a designated outdoor fire-pit to safely have a fire. Guests need to bring their own firewood. A barbecue is onsite and guests need to bring their own propane tank for stays longer than 3 nights.

A private space for a quiet get away

I was attending a day retreat nearby and wanted somewhere to go after that would be quiet, private, contemplative and allow me to further my personal reflection. This location was perfect. A quiet cabin off of a country road, with a pond, lots of trees and places to sit and admire nature. I also appreciated having a BBQ to cook. Gerry was present to walk me through proper use of the BBQ as well as several of the items within the cabin and rules for country living (septic, driving care on the driveway, keeping garbage secure). He was an attentive host during check in and was flexible with check in time and arrangements. Thanks Gerry!!! The cabin has been renovated/upgraded from the rustic original appearance. There are older model but high end appliances, lots of comfy places to sit, multiple beds (it was hard to pick just one, but I did!!), and high speed internet for TV/internet etc. The easy to use blinds allows you to have full outdoor views or close yourself in at night. The cottage shows well and is a happy surprise/contrast from the older outside exterior. The only constructive comments I would have are regarding the overall cleanliness. The beds and sheets are clean and comfortable which was expected and well delivered. The counters were tidy and clean dish and bathroom towels provided. This said, the cottage would benefit from a deep clean to refresh all surfaces. This was my first VRBO experience and it met my expectations.

Great little cabin on a gorgeous secluded property

Gerry's cabin is a great mix of modern (on the inside) and old rustic on the outside, on a really nice secluded property. He was there to greet us when we arrived and showed us everything we'd need. We were out most of the time and it was rainy, so we didn't really get to enjoy the outdoor area much but it would be a great place to relax in nature in better weather. Would happily go again.

About the host

Hosted by Gerry L.

I'm a nature lover with a healthy appreciation for the modernities of today's life to maintain a good life. I live on the property but in a separate building a few hundred feet away from the Red Cabin. I like to meet people especially ones who help open my mind to new and interesting things.

Why they chose this property

A very private winding paved driveway through the mature forest leads to an opening that features manicured lawns, large pond and the cabin which it's overload by. In the immediate surroundings are popular native and planted trees that stand with a majestic flair, complemented by perennials and shrubs of cultured varieties providing completeness to the natural setting with differing views in all seasons almost with a sculpted look given the undulation of the land.

What makes this property unique

Truly a place to connect with nature, watch some small wildlife creatures, smell the fresh air, enjoy the natural vegetation of the area as well as experience a tranquil setting to relax and destress, all while still being only 8 minutes from the town of Uxbridge, 45 minutes of mid-town Toronto & Pearson Int'l Airport.
