Escape to a private forest retreat in Cayuga designed for families and group getaways. This spacious 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home sleeps up to 25+ guests and features bright living areas, a full kitchen, Tempur Pedic beds, fast WiFi, a seasonal pool and hot tub, fire pit, patio, and peaceful outdoor space surrounded by trees. Close to the Grand River and Cayuga Speedway, it is a relaxing base for quiet weekends and memorable group stays.

The space
Nine private acres. Marked forest trails, a large pond, an open field, and a property so hidden from the road most guests say they did not expect it to feel this private. This is not a cottage rental. It is a full private compound an hour and twenty minutes from Toronto with a games room, massive pool, two-storey wrap-around balcony, three fireplaces, and enough space indoors and out to keep 16 guests busy for days without leaving the property once.

A full digital guidebook is available before arrival covering check-in, property info, and local recommendations.

4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 3,000 sq. ft. | 9 acres | Sleeps 16+ comfortably

Three floors of living space on a working forest property near the Grand River. The home is built for groups who want to actually be together, with two large dining areas, a dedicated games room, a basement rec room, and a wrap-around balcony the whole group can spill onto. Outside, the property keeps going. Marked trails wind through the forest, a large open field is ready for football or frisbee, and a pond with a shaded seating area gives people somewhere quiet to land when they need it. String lights line the outdoor space and the fire pit runs late into the night.


SLEEPING

Three king bedrooms and one room with two queens, all on Tempur-Pedic beds. Three rollaway beds bring the total to 16+ guests sleeping comfortably. The layout gives couples their own space while keeping the group close. Nobody is sleeping on a bad mattress.

• Bedroom 1: King Tempur-Pedic
• Bedroom 2: King Tempur-Pedic
• Bedroom 3: King Tempur-Pedic
• Bedroom 4: 2 Queens Tempur-Pedic
• 3 rollaway beds for additional guests
• 2 couches across separate living areas


GAMES ROOM AND ENTERTAINMENT

A full dedicated games room with air hockey, foosball, arcade games, a basketball game, and ping pong. When the games room clears out, the main living room picks up with a 75-inch TV and soundbar. The large basement rec room handles overflow for movie nights or a second group doing their own thing. Board games and a book collection are on hand for slower evenings. Three fireplaces spread across the home mean every floor stays warm and every night feels like it should.

KITCHEN AND DINING

A fully equipped large group kitchen stocked with extra dishes, cookware, and everything you need to feed the whole group without a trip to the store. Two large dining areas mean nobody eats in shifts. A coffee station is set up and ready for morning starts.

OUTDOORS

Step outside and the property opens up in every direction. A massive seasonal pool anchors the backyard for summer stays. The two-storey wrap-around balcony looks out over the trees and gives the whole group somewhere to gather at any hour of the day. A propane BBQ and outdoor dining table sit under string lights for evening meals outside. The fire pit runs late.

Beyond the entertaining area, the nine acres take over. Marked trails cut through the forest with clear routes to follow. A large open field is big enough for football, frisbee, or just open space for kids to run. The pond sits quietly at the edge of the property with a shaded seating area and table. Deer, birds, and local wildlife move through the property regularly. It is the kind of place where people put their phones down.

Pool is open May through September weather permitting.

Neighbourhood highlights

Cayuga is a quiet Southern Ontario town with local dining, shops, farmers markets, and the Cayuga Speedway nearby. The Grand River is a short drive away and draws anglers and nature lovers year-round. Hamilton is 45 minutes and Toronto is about an hour and twenty minutes, making this one of the most accessible true escapes from the city in the region. Far enough to feel away. Close enough that getting here is easy.
