Oliver's Tiny Home In The Forest | Sauna & Hot Tub

Nestled in the Carolinian forest on a privately managed tree farm in Simcoe, Norfolk County, this peaceful forest stay invites couples, friends, or solo travellers to slow down and reconnect with nature.

Surrounded by towering trees and birdsong, the cozy space offers a simple escape from everyday life.

Thoughtfully designed and open year-round, it’s a place to unplug, breathe in the forest air, and experience the beauty of the Carolinian woods in every season.

The space
Unwind in the wood-fired hot tub, relax in the traditional wood-burning sauna, or cool off with the cold plunge bucket (seasonal)— all nestled under the forest canopy. At night, the woods grow quiet and the sky fills with stars.

Inside, the tiny home is cozy, thoughtfully designed, and equipped with the essentials you need to relax and recharge after a day outdoors.

Want to explore what Norfolk County has to offer? We’re surrounded by beautiful beaches, farms, and wineries, with Port Dover, Turkey Point, and Long Point all nearby. When you return, your private outdoor wellness space in the forest will be waiting for you.

Slow down, unplug, and experience the magic of the Carolinian forest.

Wood-Fired Sauna & Hot Tub

Our wood-burning sauna and hot tub offer a true off-grid forest wellness experience.

Heating takes a little time and patience, so we recommend starting shortly after arrival.

Optional pre-heating service available – $50
Includes firewood, kindling, and two hours of heating before your arrival.

Because this is a natural forest setting, you may occasionally see leaves or small forest debris, and cedar wood may tint the water — this is completely natural and safe.

Firewood available for purchase on site:
$8 per bag | 3 bags for $20
Fire starters: $3

IMPORTANT:

By booking with us you’re choosing a quiet, nature-based retreat — not a party property.

This space is designed for guests looking to relax, unwind, and reconnect. Parties, loud music, excessive drinking, or disruptive behaviour are not permitted.

If you’re looking for a place to be loud, this will not be the right fit.

Guests are expected to respect the peaceful environment, surrounding nature, and other guests on the property at all times.

We’re located in the woods, so naturally there will be mosquitoes and other bugs. Please bring bug repellent.

🌿 Wood-burning hot tub (available year-round)

Please note: Only registered guests listed on the reservation are permitted on the property. Visitors are not allowed unless approved in advance. If you would like to add someone to your booking, please send us a message.

Other things to note
WOOD BURNING HOT TUB & SAUNA: Our wood-burning sauna and hot tub offer a truly authentic off-grid wellness experience. FIREWOOD NOT INCLUDED WITH STAY. You are welcome to bring your own or purchase from our 3rd party on site.

Heating them requires time and patience — we recommend starting as soon as you arrive.

Full instructions will be sent 2 days before check-in.

Optional pre-heating service available for $50 (includes firewood, kindling, and two hours of heating before arrival).

Expect natural elements: leaves or small forest debris may be present, and cedar wood can tint the water (this is safe and natural).

POWER: At TIMES, we operate with a limited power supply. Electrical appliances may operate at a lower efficiency than you're used to at home. We ask guests to be conservative in their power usage to ensure a smooth experience. What this means is that you shouldn't have multiple lights/items running at the same time. In the case of no power or an act of God, we have a backup generator we will hook up.

INDOOR COOKING: Due to limited power, indoor stove-top cooking is not permitted. Outdoor cooking options include the propane BBQ (with side burner) and the fire pit.

LOFT ACCESS: The loft area is not suitable for young children or anyone with mobility concerns. By booking, you agree to our safety and liability policies.

SURROUNDINGS: Our 40-acre forest property may have other guests staying in separate cabins, but each space is thoughtfully placed to provide privacy. Your tiny home area and amenities are for your exclusive use only.

Please DO NOT wander off the property path, especially onto neighbouring properties or other tiny homes (other than the one you booked), as this is considered trespassing and is a serious violation. Stay on the path leading to and from your designated booking area.

ROAD: The access road is unpaved — please drive slowly and carefully. We recommend 4x4 in winter but have parking available at the front of the property as well.

WIFI & CELLPHONE SERVICE: Limited or no cell service (especially Telus, Rogers, and Fido) Wi-Fi available for messaging and calls (FaceTime etc).

By booking Oliver’s Tiny House & Nordic Spa, you’re choosing a stay that is deeply connected to nature — quiet, serene, and intentionally simple. This isn’t just a getaway; it’s a chance to slow down, breathe, and savor the present moment.

WINTER CONDITIONS: When booking during winter time, please note there MAY be a chance that the water freezes.

SURROUNDINGS: Because we are located in a rural area, you may occasionally hear distant outdoor activity from neighbouring properties. Hunting may occur at certain times of the year (not on the property).

WAIVER: All guests 18+ must sign a liability waiver prior to arrival which will be sent to you. This must be completed at least 48 hours before check-in.

PETS: We are dog-friendly and charge a small pet fee. To keep things simple, we're ONLY able to accommodate dog(s). Please make sure any dog(s) are added to your reservation before check-in. We can typically accommodate up to two dog(s), so just send us a message first to confirm.
