ABOUT
Whippoorwill Farm Barn sits nestled in the forests and highlands of Mulmur next to the Niagara Escarpment. Originally a drive shed built and milled by the trees it replaced in the forest, part of it has been lovingly converted into a 3 bedroom dwelling gently living alongside the wildlife already there.
Finished in 2024 and designed with a distinctly Scandinavian sensibility, the barn represents a new generation of special places to stay.
Whippoorwill Farm will happily work around your needs, ranging from having a fridge already stocked with local home-made produce, or a wood fire ready to go, or to leaving you well alone to enjoy the restorative magic that lives in this enchanting area.
