If you are planning a visit to Prince Edward County and are looking for a unique place to stay, I’ve got the perfect place for you : Tiny Stays. Located just a few minutes outside of the County, Tiny Stays has the cutest and coziest tiny houses for your next getaway. This blog post will tell you everything you need to know before your night(s) with Tiny Stays.
I can’t explain why, but I just love tiny cabins! It might be because they are always so cozy, or because I’m tiny myself (I’m 5’0 feet!), but I just love them. So when Tiny Stays invited me to spend the night at one of their cabins in Prince Edward County, I immediately said yes. Here is what you need to know for your next tiny cabin stay! The rest is now history… I’ve now stayed in 3 of their 4 tiny houses and it would be absolutely impossible for me to pick a favorite.
So if you love tiny houses just as much as me, here’s what you need to know for your next visit at Tiny Stays!
The Tiny Homes at Tiny Stays
Tiny Stays as 4 tiny cabins that are all next to each other in a small seasonal camping ground in Tyendinaga (Mohawk Territory), across from Prince Edward County. Each cabin has it’s own unique style and perfectly decorated. The Nest and The Loft are both tiny cabins with full kitchen and bathroom (with a shower), a living space and a loft bedroom. The Nook is a bit different : it’s a small, open space caravan, also with a full kitchen and bathroom. The Nook also has an outside bathtub to pamper yourself after a day of adventures. The Nomad is the newest addition to the Tiny Stay family. Added in May 2024, this 1971 renovated Airstream is a vintage dream!
The Nomad : Airstream Dream
The Nest : The Cozy Retreat
The Nook : The Tinyest and the Cutest
The outside
Outside of each cabin, you’ll find a BBQ, fire pit surrounded by cozy chairs and a hammock! Each cabin also comes with it’s own canoe that you can bring down the road to the river.
Each cabin also comes with it’s own little unique surprise. The Nest has an indoor & outdoor bar top, that can also serve as a desk.The Nook and the Nomad both have their private outdoor soaker tub with a rainfall shower. And the Loft (the only one I have not stayed in yet…) has an outdoor wood pizza oven.

On the inside, this cabins are thoughtfully designed, ensuring that every detail is taken care of. Every square inch has been utilized to make sure you have everything you need. It has a fully equipped kitchen with a gaz stove top, a deep sink, a microwave, toaster and a coffee bar.

If you don’t love winter, you’re just not going to the right places. ❄️😉

🌊 Indian Falls – A breathtaking frozen waterfall near Owen Sound, where ice formations change with the season.
🏡 The Hollow Mill – A secluded off-grid cabin in Creemore, where you snowshoe 1km through the forest to get there. But trust me, it’s worth it.
❄️ Jones Falls – A waterfall in Owen Sound: snow-covered bridges and frozen cascades that make winter hiking magical.
🍷 Three Dog Winery – Think snowshoeing hike in a vineyard! Because winter wine tasting > summer wine tasting.
🏖️ Sandbanks Provincial Park – A frozen beach? Yes, please.
🧊 The Grotto (Bruce Peninsula) – Turquoise ice, frozen caves, and rugged Georgian Bay beauty—without the summer crowds.
⛸️ Kingston – Skating in front of historic City Hall feels straight out of a holiday movie.

Winter hiking can be magical… unless you make these mistakes. ❄️
I’ve made my fair share of winter hiking mistakes, and trust me—some made my hike way harder than it needed to be. Avoid these 5 common mistakes (and don’t miss the 3 extra ones at the end!👇).
1️⃣ Overdressing & Overheating
I was afraid of being cold, so I layered up too much. Big mistake. Once you start moving, your body warms up fast—and sweating in the cold makes you freeze later. Wear breathable layers you can easily remove.
2️⃣ Skipping the Snowshoes
The trail looked packed, so I thought I didn’t need them. Two minutes later, I was sinking knee-deep in snow. If there’s fresh or soft snow, bring snowshoes.
3️⃣ Not Checking Trail Conditions
Deep snow, ice, or even surprise closures can ruin your hike. Check trail reports before heading out and bring microspikes or snowshoes if needed.
4️⃣ Starting Too Late in the Day
Winter days are short, and the sun sets fast. Start early so you’re not racing against daylight.
5️⃣ Forgetting a Second Pair of Gloves
Wet gloves = cold, miserable hands. Whether from snow or sweat, a dry backup pair is a lifesaver.
🚨 And here are 3 mistakes most people don’t think about… but definitely should! 👇
6️⃣ Not Protecting Your Phone from the Cold
Cold weather drains your phone battery FAST. Keep it in an inside pocket close to your body and bring a portable charger.
7️⃣ Ignoring Wind Chill
-5°C might sound fine, but with wind chill, it can feel like -15°C or worse. Dress for the “feels like” temp, not just the forecast.
8️⃣ Not Telling Anyone Your Plan
Winter hiking conditions can be unpredictable. Always tell someone your route and expected return time.

Spend the weekend with me at Pearadise on West Lake 🏡✨
You know that perfect kind of weekend? The one where you actually slow down, breathe a little deeper, and let yourself just be? That’s exactly what I found at @pearadiseonwestlake, a cozy winter Airbnb in Prince Edward County.
Some days, I stayed wrapped up in a blanket by the fireplace, book in one hand, coffee in the other—fully leaning into my cozy retreat mode. Other times, I ventured out to explore PEC’s charming cafés, wineries, and scenic winter views, knowing I had the most peaceful space to return to.
It’s the kind of stay that makes you feel at home the second you walk in the door.
✔️ Cozy winter retreat? Check. (Fireplace, reading nook, and big windows to watch the snow fall? Yes, please.)
✔️ Romantic winter escape? Definitely. (Slow mornings, candlelit dinners, and a dreamy atmosphere.)
✔️ Family-friendly Airbnb? Absolutely. (Spacious common areas, a playroom, and a cozy space to make memories.)
Located right by West Lake in Wellington, Prince Edward County, this winter getaway spot is perfect for those who want to explore PEC at a slower pace—or stay in, light a fire, and enjoy a quiet, peaceful weekend.

I almost didn’t go. My brain had a hundred excuses—‘You’re too tired. It’s too cold. Just stay home.’ But I knew I needed this reset.
The past few weeks have been rough. Anxiety has been relentless, and my mind has felt like a constant storm. When life feels heavy, I know one thing that helps: getting outside, even in winter.
So, I laced up my boots and made my way to Indian Falls in Owen Sound—with a little help from @ontario_hikes, who served as my guide. This frozen waterfall in Ontario is a winter dream. At 15 meters tall, Indian Falls transforms into a breathtaking wall of ice, surrounded by snow-covered trees. The short but steep trail can be tricky in winter, but trust me—it’s worth it.
The moment I reached the falls, I felt it—my shoulders dropping, my breath slowing, my mind finally quieting. Nature doesn’t erase anxiety, but it softens it. It reminds me that seasons change, and so do hard moments.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed lately, this is your sign to get outside, even for a little while. Where’s your favorite Ontario winter hike or escape when life feels heavy? 💙✨
📍 Indian Falls, Owen Sound, Ontario
🏔 Best time to visit: Winter for frozen waterfalls, fall for colorful foliage
🎒 Trail tip: It’s short 0.7km walk and in the Winter, you get to see the bottom of the Falls (which is not possible in the Summer) but steep—microspikes recommended in winter!
