About the host
Hosted by Katheryn Laursen
I am an outdoor Kat! I have lived all over Ontario, and this is by far my favourite place! I love being outside and exploring this amazing space. I am even happier that I can share it with others! If you visit you might see me out on our trails, or paddling around the ponds, or just chillin by a firepit listening to music (my other favourite thing to do). A bartender by trade, I love to help people have a great time. 😃
Why they chose this property
The endlessly changing beauty of this place continues to blow my mind. In the spring there are a million different wildflowers in the woods, in the summer I eat A LOT of wild berries that grow all over the property, in the fall I harvest Hickory nuts and spend a lot of time gazing at all the colourful trees, and though it is very cold in the winter, the bare trees offer a view of that landscape that takes your breath away. We have private trails throughout our property, and the area's quiet roads offer their own epic views. And don't get me started on the night sky!! I have never seen so many shooting stars as I do here! I really do love this place, and I hope you will too!
What makes this property unique
We design our campsites to accommodate groups large and small. Spending time here is a great way to get away from it all, whether you want some fun or some peace and quiet, there is something here for you!
