Escape to Nature: Cozy Yurt on a Heritage Farm with Trails, Pond, & Sauna
Nestled on a charming, sustainable farm dedicated to preserving endangered heritage breeds of chickens, cows, and pigs, our cozy yurt offers a unique and tranquil retreat. Whether you're an animal lover, nature enthusiast, or simply in need of a peaceful getaway, this is the perfect spot to unwind and reconnect with the land.
The Yurt:
Our spacious yurt comfortably accommodates up to 4 guests, offering a peaceful, off-grid experience with all the charm of rustic living. Wake up to the sound of birds chirping and the gentle hum of farm life as you sip your morning coffee on the private deck. The yurt is equipped with cozy bedding, comfortable seating, and basic amenities, providing the perfect balance of comfort and simplicity.
Farm & Heritage Breeds:
During your stay, you'll be surrounded by our diverse farm animals, including endangered heritage breed chickens, cows, and pigs. Learn about the efforts we're making to preserve these rare breeds and enjoy the sights and sounds of farm life up close. You may even get a chance to meet our animals, feed them, or learn about our sustainable farming practices.
Outdoor Adventures:
Explore 70 acres of beautiful, forested land with tranquil trails that wind through the woods and beside a serene spring-fed pond. Hike, birdwatch, or just enjoy the peaceful surroundings. After a day of exploring, relax in the traditional Finnish-style sauna, nestled beside the pond—perfect for unwinding after a day in nature.
The Campfire & Relaxation:
As the evening draws in, gather around the campfire pit for a cozy, starry-night experience. Roast marshmallows, enjoy good company, and take in the calming atmosphere of the farm. The night skies here are stunning, offering a perfect backdrop for some star-gazing.
Additional Features:
Sauna: Enjoy a relaxing sauna experience with views of the pond.
Farm Tours: Learn about our heritage breeds and sustainable farming practices (available upon request).
Close to Nature: Ideal for hiking, nature walks, and birdwatching.
Location:
Located just a short drive from local shops, restaurants, and markets, this rural retreat offers a peaceful escape without being far from the amenities of town.
Whether you're looking for a weekend of relaxation or an immersive farm experience, our yurt offers the perfect home base for your agritourism adventure. We can’t wait to welcome you to our little piece of paradise!
Guests have private access to the yurt and dedicated outdoor washroom facilities, ensuring a peaceful and comfortable stay. You'll also enjoy shared access to the rest of the farm, including the gardens, animal areas, and over 50 acres of forested trails—perfect for hiking, birdwatching, or simply soaking in the tranquility of nature.
A shared shower facility is available for guest use during your stay, located a short walk from the yurt.
Parking:
From June to September, guests may park directly beside the yurt for easy access. From October to May, due to wet ground conditions, parking is available at the front of the farm. During these months, you'll enjoy a scenic 3-minute walk to reach the yurt from the parking area.

Über den Gastgeber
Zu Gast bei Mattimus
I’m Mattimus, the owner of Foxfire Heritage Farm in beautiful Powassan, Northern Ontario. I live and work on our 100-acre heritage farm, raising rare and endangered breeds of livestock, growing fresh produce, and welcoming guests who want to experience the beauty and peace of the countryside.
Hosting is more than just providing a place to stay—it’s about creating an experience. I love sharing the charm of farm life, whether it’s watching the sun rise over the pond, gathering around a campfire under the stars, or introducing guests to our friendly animals. There’s something special about seeing people slow down, breathe deeper, and reconnect with nature during their stay here.
When I’m not tending to the animals, I enjoy exploring our trails, working in the garden, and dreaming up new ways to make our farm even more inviting. I’ve always believed that the best travel memories come from unique, meaningful experiences, and it’s my goal to make every guest’s visit unforgettable.
Whether you’re here for adventure, relaxation, or a bit of both, I’m happy to share local tips, hidden gems, and stories from life on the farm. I look forward to welcoming you to Foxfire Heritage Farm and helping you make memories you’ll carry home with you.

Darum fiel die Entscheidung auf diese Unterkunft
We chose this beautiful corner of Powassan, Northern Ontario, because it offers the perfect mix of peaceful seclusion and connection to a warm, welcoming community. Our farm sits among rolling fields, pine forests, and a spring-fed pond, surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature. The quiet here is something special—you can hear the wind through the trees, the call of loons on still mornings, and the crackle of a campfire at night.
Powassan itself is a charming farming community with a proud agricultural heritage. Neighbors wave as they pass, and the pace of life is slower and more intentional. We love being close to local farmers markets, where the season’s freshest produce and handmade goods are on display, and where you can truly get to know the people who grow and make them.
One of the things we enjoy most about this area is its natural beauty in every season. In spring, the fields come alive with wildflowers; in summer, the pond is a perfect spot to cool off; autumn brings spectacular colors and crisp, clear days; and in winter, the snow transforms the landscape into a peaceful wonderland. With hiking trails, small-town events, and easy access to North Bay’s shops and restaurants, this location offers the best of rural living with just the right touch of convenience.
For us, this place is more than just a neighborhood—it’s a way of life. We love sharing it with guests who are looking to experience the calm, beauty, and genuine hospitality that make Powassan so special.

Das macht diese Unterkunft einzigartig
What makes Foxfire Heritage Farm truly unique is the combination of authentic farm life, beautiful natural surroundings, and a one-of-a-kind glamping experience. Our Pondside Yurt isn’t just a place to stay—it’s part of a living, breathing heritage farm where rare and endangered livestock roam the pastures, gardens flourish with seasonal produce, and the pace of life slows to match the rhythms of nature.
The yurt itself sits right beside a peaceful, spring-fed pond, offering guests stunning views from sunrise to sunset. Step outside your door and you can sip your morning coffee while watching the mist rise off the water, enjoy an afternoon paddle or swim, or unwind in the evening with a campfire under the stars.
We’ve blended rustic charm with thoughtful comfort—wood heat for cozy nights, comfortable beds with fresh linens, and access to modern amenities like a hot shower and a wood-fired sauna. Our property offers complete privacy and tranquility, yet you’re welcome to explore our trails, visit the animals, or simply relax and take in the scenery.
Each season brings something special here: fresh blooms and baby animals in spring, warm summer days perfect for pond swims, brilliant fall colors, and crisp winter air for snowshoeing. This is more than a getaway—it’s a chance to reconnect with nature, experience the traditions of a heritage farm, and create lasting memories in a setting that feels both peaceful and inspiring.
