The building is perched above the ground on stilts and is surrounded by a forest and flowing river. The massive, floor-to-ceiling windows look out over the scenery, and you can enjoy woodland views from every room (the guest bedroom has a smaller window).

The Airbnb "honours simplicity, good company, sustainability, and all things hygge." You'll find a modern, minimalistic aesthetic throughout the space. The home was designed for rest and relaxation in contrast with the bustle of a big city like Toronto.

The tailor-made kitchen is a tribute to Japanese simplicity, and the main feature of the living room is the cozy Scandinavian STUV fireplace.
The primary bedroom allows you to wake up surrounded by woodland views and includes an ensuite bathroom and free-standing bathtub where you can rejuvenate. The second bedroom also has an ensuite bathroom with a floor-to-ceiling tiled shower.
