ARKA, Tiny House, is a Scandinavian style gazebo cabana surrounded by 16 acres of private forest. Located just 45 minutes from Toronto, it offers the perfect blend of serenity and convenience.

This tiny home is a really perfect shelter that can serve different purposes such as a base camp for photographers, and influencers, that work enjoying outdoor activities.

Guest Access
ARKA Tiny House is part of our year-round family property. Here's what you'll enjoy:
• Your own cozy tiny house, private fire pit, and a deck with Muskoka chairs.
• Shared access to other parts of the property, including private hiking trails and a picturesque bridge.
• An 80-meter walk from the parking area to the tiny house (luggage assistance available upon request).
Please note, our friendly Alaskan Malamute, Luna, may make an appearance during your stay. While our home is visible through the trees, we respect your privacy and strive to provide a peaceful environment.
The main house is located at the same property so guests will share some outdoor common areas of 16 acres of land with the host, that lives also at the property, and sometimes with other guests.
