Welcome to a retreat designed for deep relaxation, natural immersion, and high-minded comfort. Owned and curated by retired cannabis author and activist Matt Mernagh, this self-contained 420 friendly apartment is a secluded forest sanctuary for couples looking to escape the noise and reconnect. Both with nature and each other.
The Interior: ’80s Minimalism & Cinematic Comfort
Inside, you’ll find a clean, ’80s-inspired minimalist aesthetic that prioritizes space and light.
- The Cinema Room: Unwind after a day of hiking in front of our massive 6×4 ft guest TV. Perfect for an immersive movie night.
- Seamless Arrival: Enjoy total privacy from the moment you arrive with secure keyless entry.
- The Kitchen: Fully equipped with a fridge and microwave. We provide complimentary maple syrup made by Matt for your morning waffles.
- The Bedroom: Minimalist newly painted room and lighting. Comfortable queen size bed.
- Provisions: For your convenience, the fridge is stocked with Macleans, pre-made meals from K8R Foods in Markdale, and munchie items are available for purchase. So you never have to leave your bubble of solitude.
The Cannabis Sanctuary
As the home of a legendary cannabis activist, we offer a judgment-free, cannabis-positive environment.
- Inhale freely, whether you prefer the cozy interior or the crisp forest air.
- Top-Tier Gear: Guests have full access to a Volcano Vaporizer, as well as high-quality glass bongs and pipes.
- Grown on Site: Experience the property’s unique heritage with cannabis grown right here on the grounds. If Matt’s available, he’ll gladly tell you what’s growing this year.
- No Smoking Unless It’s A Joint: House rules are simple – we toke cannabis here.
The Enchanted Forest & Waterfront
Step outside into our private woodland, featuring a dedicated meditation path that winds through the “Enchanted Forest.”
- The Three 420 Friendly Patios: Choose your environment. With three distinct patio spaces, you can find the perfect patch of sun or a cool slice of shade at any hour of the day.
- The Gazebo & Fire Pit: Enjoy the outdoors well into the evening with our propane-heated gazebo. There’s also a traditional fire pit. Both cannabis friendly.
- Water & Trails: We are situated directly across from Flesherton Pond, ideal for a quiet morning of kayaking or paddleboarding (no power boats allowed, ensuring total peace). The legendary Bruce Trail and the stunning Lake Eugenia are both just a 15-minute drive away.
- Private roadway: The house is located on a private road ensuring minimal traffic and noise.
Sustainable Luxury
We believe in protecting the forest we love.
- Eco-Friendly: The suite is professionally cleaned using environmentally friendly products from The Good Clean, and all soaps are provided by Eco Refillery. Both local to Grey Highlands.
- Pet Friendly: Small pets are welcome! We just ask that you pick up after them and keep them leashed while exploring the property.
- Traveler Ready: Our driveway features dedicated boat parking if you’re bringing your craft for a day on Lake Eugenia.
- Well Water: Forget bottled water. Our property is served by a private well providing some of the tastiest, untreated water in the region.
- Eco-Minded: We operate on a septic system and use only eco-friendly products to ensure we are as gentle on the land as possible.
Meet Your Host
Your host is the legendary Matt Mernagh, a retired cannabis author and activist (founder 420 Toronto). The quiet space has brought much peace to Matt, who has decided to open his “stoner sanctuary” for guests who are seeking a place to inhale freely in solitude. While Matt lives in the front half of the house, the apartment is entirely self-contained with its own furnace and hot water system. Matt’s presence ensures the property is well-maintained, but your privacy and solitude are our highest priorities.
House Rules
- Two people max for a quiet relaxation weekend.
- Small pets allowed (must be leashed outside).
- Respect the silence: This is a space for solitude and nature.
