🏠 The Raven House is a one-bedroom tiny home lo

🏠 The Raven House is a one-bedroom tiny home located in Sheguiandah, Manitoulin Island, overlooking the North Channel and the stunning La Cloche Mountain range. ⁠⁠Wake up to the sunrise over the La Cloche mountain range right from bed, enjoy a cup of tea from the cozy couch and then end your night with an outdoor fire, sipping a glass of bubbly and watching the sun turn the sky those brilliant shades of pinks and oranges.⁠⁠Doesn't that sound effing fantastic?! LIKE WHAT. After spending two nights in this cute little Airbnb, I was trying to figure out exactly how to stay here forever, or if I could pack up this house and bring it home with me. ⁠⁠The 260 sq. ft. tiny home, with its quaint amenities and the jaw-dropping view together makes this place feel incredible and I can't say enough amazing things about it. ⁠⁠Plus the hosts were so kind, leaving little goodies and firewood. and overall were amazing at communication. ⁠⁠Now, I'm trying to figure out how quickly I can go back!

An unforgettable Manitoulin Adventure 🌲🥾⁠

An unforgettable Manitoulin Adventure 🌲🥾⁠⁠I spent a whole week exploring Manitoulin Island driving on backroads and discovering gorgeous vistas, and I can't wait to share more from this amazing adventure. Some of the highlights of the trip included:⁠⁠🏞️ visiting my 63rd provincial park⁠🌞 seeing the sunset over the sandy Providence Bay⁠🌲 checking out some incredible vistas⁠🥾 hiking the famous Cup and Saucer Trail⁠🌙 visiting a dark sky preserve⁠🏠 staying at the most beautiful tiny home on the island⁠...and so much more!⁠⁠Stay tuned for more from this incredible trip.
