Description Mother Earth: Colborne

Designed with sustainability in mind, this bright and cosy Canadian countryside house is an upcycled haven for families. In addition to a low-waste approach, most furnishings are vintage finds or ethically-made pieces, and the mattresses are from a local vegan company. Whilst here, guests must maintain a plant-based diet but don't worry, your host is standing by with recipe recommendations and food and wine pairings. Outside, kids can tire themselves out on the lawn whilst the grown-ups enjoy a drink in the hot tub, appreciating the greenery and quiet of the neighbourhood. Location-wise, beaches, antique shops, and vineyards are waiting to be explored.
