The cabin was simply so welcoming, from the moment I went into the backyard. I was finishing school and a long trip with this 'vacation' of a few days in Toronto, and it was such a beautiful space to enjoy solitude and aloneness in the cabin, but be able to chat with the interesting and inspiring people who live and work with Steve. Very impactful all around.

The cabin is beautifully built, and I had notably good sleeps in the bed. It was the middle of a heat wave, but the windows have screeens so you can have fresh air going through the upper loft all night (or day) and a fan, so that it is cool even in the hot summer nights. I bought some coffee beans and was able to grind them in a grinder Steve had in the cabin, and use the coffee press so I could just have this little ritual and sit in the garden every morning. The skylight is a beautiful detail...the first thing you see in the morning is beautiful green leaves from the tree above.

The bathroom is very clean and close by in the basement of the house. I didn't use some of the other things such as the sauna or yoga room, as I was working and mostly just at the cabin at night, but the tour around was amazing - the house itself is beautiful and has a calming effect. Everybody clearly cares about the atmosphere they cultivate in their presence in the house, and it shows.

Steve was very welcoming, even though he was away! He had to be in Ottawa when I arrived, so I arrived to clear instructions, a note about the neighbourhood and different things to do and see (which I used extensively...it was made from experience and a clear connection to the community, and I wouldn't have gotten that information quite so easily if I searched on the internet). Steve also left a lovely bunch of fruit! It was a perfect welcome after a long trip.

Thank you! I would recommend Steve's cabin as one of the top three best airbnb experiences I've had.
