7/1/20262 min read

Why choose between a peaceful forest retreat and a day at the beach when you can enjoy both?

At Oliver's Tiny Home in the Forest, you're perfectly situated to experience the best of Norfolk County. Spend your mornings surrounded by towering trees and birdsong, then venture out to discover some of Ontario's most beautiful Lake Erie beaches—all within a short drive.

Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, a weekend adventure, or simply looking to slow down this summer, our tiny home offers the ideal home base.

Start Your Day Surrounded by Nature

There's nothing quite like waking up in the forest.

Open the door to fresh morning air, enjoy a coffee on the deck, and listen to the sounds of nature before setting off for a day of exploration.

One of the biggest advantages of staying at Oliver's Tiny Home is that you don't have to choose between forest serenity and lakeside fun—you can experience both in the same day.

Spend the Day Exploring Norfolk County's Beautiful Beaches

Port Dover Beach

Only about 20 minutes away, Port Dover combines sandy beaches with a charming lakeside town full of restaurants, boutiques, and ice cream shops.

It's the perfect destination if you enjoy spending the afternoon swimming before wandering the waterfront.

Highlights include:

  • Warm Lake Erie waters

  • Local fish and chips

  • Boutique shopping

  • Scenic pier and marina

  • Sunset walks along the shoreline

Turkey Point Beach

Just 15 minutes from the tiny home, Turkey Point is known for its wide sandy beach and calm, shallow water.

It's a favorite destination for families, couples, and anyone looking for an active day outdoors.

Visitors can enjoy:

  • Swimming

  • Paddleboarding

  • Kayaking

  • Beach volleyball

  • Relaxing beneath the sun

With plenty of space to spread out, it's easy to spend an entire afternoon here.

Long Point Beach

If you're looking for a quieter escape, Long Point is well worth the 30-minute drive.

Located within a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, this spectacular destination is known for its untouched natural beauty, sand dunes, and incredible wildlife.

It's a wonderful place for:

  • Nature walks

  • Birdwatching

  • Photography

  • Peaceful beach days

  • Exploring one of Ontario's most unique ecosystems

Return to Your Own Private Forest Spa

After a day enjoying the sun and sand, your vacation doesn't have to end.

Head back to Oliver's Tiny Home and unwind in your private outdoor wellness space.

Relax with:

  • A traditional wood-burning sauna

  • A wood-fired cedar hot tub

  • A refreshing seasonal cold plunge bucket

  • A private fire pit surrounded by forest

As the sun sets and the stars appear overhead, you'll discover why guests say evenings here are just as memorable as their beach adventures.

A Vacation That Offers More

Many accommodations are close to the beach.

Few let you end your day soaking in a hot tub beneath towering trees.

Oliver's Tiny Home offers a unique combination of adventure and relaxation—giving you easy access to Norfolk County's most popular beaches while providing the privacy and tranquility of a secluded forest retreat.

It's the best of both worlds.

Plan Your Summer Getaway

Whether you're building sandcastles at Turkey Point, enjoying fresh fish and chips in Port Dover, or exploring the natural beauty of Long Point, every adventure ends with the comfort and quiet of your own forest escape.

Make this summer one to remember with a stay that combines beaches, nature, and wellness in one unforgettable destination.
