About the host

Hosted by Donna

Host profile image
I immigrated from the Caribbean in the 80s and have always lived in the city until 2016, when we moved to this property and built our Homestead. Moving here has been a life defining transition, we have come to enjoy the peace of nature and it has taught us about quality of life, a deeper appreciation for nature and the grand design in the universe.

We hope to be able to have others experience the magic of nature so that they can finally listen to that yearning inside that has no name and gets buried in everyday life.

It is very rewarding to see how the magic of this place helps Guests to relax and rejuvenate.

Why they chose this property

I have always been drawn to Forests and I began to dream about being able to live in a place surrounded by trees. Eric camped a lot in Algonquin Park.

We used to go hiking on Mount Nemo's trails and I would think it would be so nice to have a cabin here under trees where it is so peaceful and quiet.

This area has so much natural beauty with all the forests and lakes to be explored. As well, there are a lot of outdoor activities to be enjoyed.


What makes this property unique

A lot of thought went into where to place the windows to give the experience of feeling immersed in the outdoors while being inside.

We tried to be deliberate in the placement of everything to enhance the ultimate experience in nature.

Although we also live here, all our Homesteading is done in front portion of the property. This ensures Guests' privacy and the security of knowing we are close by to deal with any issues that may come up but yet our Guests have their own space to enjoy.

We try to live in harmony with nature as much as possible. You will see piles of dead trees and branches around the property. This is done on purpose to create habitat for wildlife. We have noticed Rabbits, Squirrels and certain birds make their homes in these piles.

Our cabin is named for the 4 Ravens that play in the skies above the property and come to visit regularly for eggs and to forage on wild blueberries when they are in season.
