TINY HOUSE in the Woods Getaway Near Toronto 🌲🥾 TOUR of a TINY CONTAINER HOME in ONTARIO, Canada 🏡🇨🇦

Подробнее о видео

In today's video, we're taking you to a tiny house in the woods. That's right, we are going in search of more unusual accommodations once more! For the past 7 years, we’ve been travelling around the world and bringing you along for the journey. Well, 2020 has turned out way different than we expected. After three and half months spent mostly indoors, we are slowly starting to travel again, albeit close to home. We’ve been going on mini road trips in search of tiny houses and unusual accommodations close to nature, and we have found some real gems.

Today, we'll be showing you around this tiny home in the woods (🏡 🏡) set in Scarborough near the Toronto Zoo and Rouge National Urban Park. This custom-designed shipping container home has a circular window that looks off into the woods and on a clear night, you can even see the Big Dipper right from the bed. The tiny home is off-grid and has a foot pump sink, a special composting toilet, and freshwater provided in jugs. There's a propane camping grill for cooking outdoors and a firepit for roasting marshmallows and making smores.

We really enjoyed our two-night stay in this tiny home. It was relaxing and secluded, and during the day we went hiking in the nearby park. It was the perfect city escape and we didn't even have to go that far!

🌲 Tiny House Getaway Near Toronto | Exploring Rouge National Urban Park + Tiny Living Tour 🏡

🏡 Introduction & Tiny House Arrival

Hey guys, we’re Samuel and Audrey! After seven years traveling worldwide, 2020 brought us back home—exploring close-to-nature escapes and unique tiny house stays in Ontario, Canada. In this episode, we leave Brampton for a quick 50-minute drive and find ourselves at a charming tiny house oasis on the edge of Toronto, surrounded by woods and serenaded by birdsong—a perfect urban escape!

🛏️ Inside Our Cozy Tiny Home

Step inside as we tour the compact but well-equipped space:

A kitchenette with a foot-pump sink, cookware, dishes, basic condiments, and essentials for simple meals and coffee mornings.

A wood-burning fireplace for chilly nights (though not needed in summer!), with firewood provided.

A super comfy queen bed with marshmallowy pillows and a stunning round window facing the woods and the trail to the firepit.

A cute table for dining, wildflowers for ambiance, and original art.

A compact bathroom with a composting toilet—eco-friendly and functional!

Plenty of thoughtful touches, including bug screens and candles.

🍔 Dinner Al Fresco & Campfire Fun

For dinner, we fire up the propane grill for juicy bacon cheddar burgers—served on naan for a creative twist—and later head out to the firepit for s’mores and marshmallow roasting under the stars. With plenty of outdoor seating, it’s a dreamy setting for a camp-style meal.

🌳 Exterior Tour & Forest Vibes

Our tiny home is nestled on a trail, with a porch for outdoor dining, a dedicated grill area, and a secluded firepit surrounded by wildflowers. Despite being near the city, you’d never guess with the sense of peace and privacy you get here!

🌄 A Good Night’s Sleep & Simple Breakfast

After an amazing night’s sleep, we start the morning with tea, muffins, bananas, and berries—a simple, camping-style breakfast before another day of adventure. The cozy bed and fresh air make it hard to leave!

🥾 Hiking Rouge National Urban Park

We explore Canada’s first national urban park, right inside Toronto! Rouge National Urban Park boasts forests, meadows, cliffs, wetlands, and scenic hiking trails. Vista Trail offers panoramic views, and we spot wildlife signs, rivers, and creeks. So close to home, yet it feels like a wild escape.

🍔 Lunch & Beach Break at Rouge Beach

After hiking, we grab loaded burgers at a local diner and continue to Rouge Beach, discovering lily pads, swans, and sandy beaches along Lake Ontario. The Waterfront Trail, part of a massive system, offers birdwatching, canoeing, running, biking, and sunbathing opportunities—a true city oasis!
