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 interior of The Nest has just been renovated and doesn’t look like my photos anymore.
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.
The Inside
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.
Warning // Running water gets turned off after Thanksgiving long weekend in October until May long weekend to prevent pipes from freezing. But don’t worry, they leave a 5L jug of water for you to use during this period.
Each cabin also has a full bathroom with a shower. A luxury in such tiny spaces!
It’s also worth nothing that the WIFI connexion is extremely good! So this makes it the perfect place for remote work!

I almost made a very different version of this reel.
Last time I posted about Smiths Falls, the comments surprised me and a lot of them seemed to come from people who actually live there. There’s nothing to do here. It’s boring. My first instinct was to make a whole clap-back video, screenshots and all.
But honestly? I get it. Nobody is a tourist in their own town. The canal is just the thing you cross on your way to work. The museum is where you went once on a school trip in grade four. When you see a place every single day, it goes invisible.
I grew up near the Bay of Fundy – home of the highest tides on the planet – and as a kid I thought it was the most boring place on earth. It took moving away to realize people cross oceans to see what was in my backyard.
So this reel is me being a tourist in your town for you. The 1912 bridge you’d paddle under if you hadn’t stopped noticing it. The museum where you can climb into the trains, and even sleep in one. The thrift trail. The mural. All of it.
To everyone who’s never been: this is your sign for an easy day trip from Ottawa or Kingston.
And to Smiths Falls locals: I dare you to do one thing from this list this weekend. Report back. 😌
What’s the thing in YOUR town that you’ve stopped noticing? I want to hear it.

I have a confession: half my road trips are reverse-engineered.
I don’t pick a destination and find a coffee shop nearby. I pick the coffee shop, then build a whole day around justifying the drive. A hike here, a beach there, some antiquing, all very respectable cover stories for the fact that I drove two hours for an iced latte.
Because here’s what I’ve figured out after years of crisscrossing Ontario: the best coffee shops are never just coffee shops. They’re the unofficial welcome centre of every small town. The barista knows which trail is muddy this week. The regulars will tell you where to park for free. The bulletin board has better local intel than any travel blog, mine included.
So this list isn’t really about coffee. It’s about the 12 places I use as an excuse to keep exploring this province. Swipe through, every single one comes with what to pair it with so you can build your own cover story.
From Thunder Bay to the County, consider this your permission slip to drive unreasonably far for caffeine.
Which one’s closest to you? And more importantly, what’s YOUR coffee shop worth driving for? I’m always taking notes. ☕

For over a hundred years, the men who lived in this house woke up, looked at the lake, and went to work captaining the Wolfe Island ferry. Three generations of them. Same water, same crossing, every day.
I thought about that a lot during my stay at @themullinhouse_ (mainly from the bathtub, because the tub faces the lake and once you’re in it there’s no reason to be anywhere else.)
The Mullin House just opened as a stay, and those who brought it back to life did it in the best way that possible. Keeping the soul of the place.Places with an actual story make my job as a photographer easy. I just have to pay attention.
And if you want to stay here too: It’s a free 20-minute ferry from Kingston, 5 bedrooms, sleeps 10. So this is your sign to plan the group trip you keep talking about.
Save this for when you book it, and be honest, would you make it out of that bathtub by checkout?
Thank you to @themullinhouse_ for having me!

I grew up an hour from the Bay of Fundy. And every few years, my school would pile us onto a bus and take us to Hopewell Rocks or Fundy National Park. And every single time, as a kid, I thought : ‘okay, cool. Rocks. Trees. Can we go home now?’
I had absolutely no idea what I was standing next to.
It took me leaving New Brunswick, travelling across the country before I came back to the Bay of Fundy as an adult and genuinely had my breath taken away. I grew up next to one of the most extraordinary places on the planet and completely took it for granted. And I think a lot of Maritimers probably feel the same way.
This carousel is my attempt to fix that, for myself, and for anyone who’s never made the trip. Scroll through and I’ll show you exactly how I’d plan a road trip along the New Brunswick side, from the tidal flats to the coastal cliffs to the little fishing towns that feel completely frozen in time.
And if you have extra days to spare, Saint John is absolutely worth a stop, underrated city, great food scene, and it sits right on the bay.
I’m also heading back this summer to try a stay I’ve had my eye on for a while, I genuinely cannot wait to tell you all about it. 👀
Save this for your New Brunswick road trip. 🙌
👇 Have you ever been to the Bay of Fundy? Were you as underwhelmed as I was at 10 years old? 😄

I’ll be honest, when I pulled up to @whispering_springs I didn’t know what to expect. I’d seen the photos, I’d read the website, but nothing really prepares you for the moment you walk into your safari tent and realize this might actually be nicer than your apartment.
We’re talking a king bed, more space than I expected, and an actual bathtub, in a tent. I took a bath. In the woods. And I would do it again without hesitation.
Oh and the s’mores bar? Someone thought really hard about what would make people unreasonably happy at the end of a summer night and they nailed it.
Save this for your summer planning because at 90 minutes from Toronto there is really no reason to wait.
Now tell me have you ever gone glamping? If not, what are you waiting for!
