If you’ve ever thought about spending a winter weekend away from the bustle of the big city, Port Perry has the perfect getaway for you. Nestled on 300 acres of property, this treehouse in the middle of the forest is its own winter haven.
It’s not quite Peter Pan’s treetop getaway, but it’s one of the closest approximations you’ll find in southern Ontario. This three-level cabin on airbnb is surrounded by trees, water and nature.
In the summer, you can swim, bike, watch the sunset from the gazebo, and relax by the fire. In the winter, it transforms into an outdoorsman’s paradise with 25 kilometres of groomed ski trails to explore, and the ponds transform turn into skating rinks.
The treehouse is situated on 300 acres of property, which is as secluded as it gets. Guests on Airbnb say the photos don’t do it justice. And its 4.98 average rating makes it hard to beat compared to other low-fi forest escapes.
It’s the ideal place to unplug, with no access to Wi-Fi or TV in the home. Then again, that’s the whole point of escaping to a place like this; to disconnect from the calamity of the every day. The basic amenities like a BBQ, gas stove, fridge and shower are all included.
Guests will be greeted by an iron spiral staircase which wraps all the way up to the top floor and the treehouse loft.
360 windows give an amazing view of the nature outdoors. From a distance, the house blends into the forest and is practically hidden from view.
No matter the season, no matter the reason, this listing in Port Perry looks like the quintessential retreat away from the city.
