It’s never too soon to start planning your next tiny home getaway. 

These tiny homes are all contemporary in style, and set right in nature, giving you the best of both worlds: modern conveniences and chic style with the peace and relaxation that comes from being surrounded by forest, fields, and lakes. Just what’s needed for a real vacation, right here in Ontario. 

The first tiny home is in Whitestone, Ontario, near Parry Sound, in a private campground. This contemporary loft-style tiny home has a breathtaking view of De Bois Lake and sleeps five. It has running water and a flush toilet, not to mention wall to wall windows and a huge deck, making you feel as if you are sitting in the great outdoors.  

De Bois Lake is great for fishing, boating, and swimming and this tiny home will be the perfect vacation home away from home for you, or even your whole family.

Tiny home number two is near Baysville, on the stunning Muskoka River. This one is slightly larger, with two bedrooms and the inside is panelled in white shiplap, a gorgeous feature that is sure to attract folks year-round.  

With a large deck overlooking the river, huge windows, a BBQ, gas fireplace, and a hot tub, you will have everything you need to get relaxed and cozy in this beautiful retreat. And if you run out of supplies or crave some action, you can walk to the town of Baysville from this special tiny.

Tiny number three is also in Muskoka, but has no water access. This contemporary tiny is perfect for the tree hugger/lover with incredible forest views and no neighbours in sight. Enjoy the private hot tub on your own deck or take an outdoor shower. This tiny is a little more rugged; although it has hydro, it has no indoor running water and an incinerator toilet. If you are the more adventurous type, this one’s for you! 

One more thing: it is a one-minute forest walk to this cabin, so make sure not to pack your heaviest possessions!

Mica Cabin is even more remote, accessible only with four-wheel drive vehicles, or by hiking almost a kilometre, but once you get there, it’s worth it! The cabin overlooks a protected lake and is surrounded by wilderness, deep in the heart of Eastern Ontario.  

This Cabinscape cabin sleeps four, with one bedroom, and has 360-degree views of forest and lake. No running water in the winter, but there is an indoor toilet. Enjoy the outdoor BBQ, large deck, and quiet of the conservation land all around you from this contemporary tiny home.
