Green Acres Cabin

Get away from it all in an off-grid cabin in the woods, complete with horses grazing in the neighbouring pasture. With a bedroom, full bathroom and kitchen, you’ll have everything you need, but if cooking doesn’t appeal, Uber delivers right to the cabin’s front steps! There’s also a spacious outdoor hot tub and optional ATV rentals to tour the forest trails. Get all the details.

Explore A Little More … Green Acres Cabin is just a short drive from the cute little towns of Dundas and Ancaster, so be sure to make time for a bit of strolling, shopping and sipping. Brewers Blackbird, in Ancaster, is a newer addition to Hamilton Halton Brant’s thriving craft beer scene and definitely worth checking out. In Dundas, Shawn and Ed Brewing Company serves up one-of-a-kind brews in a lovingly restored curling rink!
