away visiting his parents this time i was joined by my sister

ariel as you know this summer we've been making an effort

to travel locally and get to know our own backyard

so for this week's getaway we rented a tiny cabin in the woods in glen huron

about an hour and 40 minutes north of toronto

but even more exciting than that is the fact that ariel and i

finally got to meet our nephew there might be tears because he really is the

most beautiful baby and i've never seen anything

so tiny and perfect now let's roll the footage

well hello guys we are here's my sister hello again

ariel um today we are doing a tiny house day

in glen huron and i've been like falling asleep i'm supposed to be

navigating and i've been kind of like dozing off

and then it's our turn we're just sleeping we did

i mean you'll go the wrong way but we ended up in farmland so we've seen

sheep and cows and it's really pretty and really green so maybe there's a

reason why we missed it yeah i know it was it was good i'm

almost winter of that hill

it's not so bad going down it's gonna be coming up

so this whole time we have been on a quest

to find a tim hortons we've missed a total of three

two of them were on the wrong side of the road and we realized way too late

and the other one well i fell asleep and took us on the floor you even

haven't done more in scientific country style

but then i saw it on my phone it's like oh there it goes

um but anyways i i am awake now i'm alert

i've napped enough i've had chips i've had chocolate

but now we have a storm brewing like it's

getting real dark real quick so i just hope we make it there before

it starts pouring rain like we wanted to go hiking today i have

a feeling we might be indoors i don't know hopefully they have board

games or we're gonna change ourselves somehow

all right guys so we have made it to the tiny home

welcome welcome no sam behind the camera today

so i'll be showing you around let's see what we can do together

so first things first here's my sister eating chocolate

hiding forwarding to make a mess hiding i've told her you can't make it messy

until i film the tour um so yeah basically this is

the entrance to the tiny home and first things first you have

a mini living area very canadian plaid pattern feeling the vibes

and yeah we've got some cute polar bears some cute polar bears up here

polar bears polar bears um some books so yeah this is kind of like our

little reading nook i suppose or just hang out

area and then over here that brings us to the

kitchen it's a small kitchen but it looks very

functional so basically here we've got our sink

it's covered right now with what you can use as a chopping

board we have hot and cold water here because there is a water heater that i

still need to plug in and turn on and then over here they left us some tea

it looks like yeah different teas we have some sugar

hand sanitizer some dish towels we have some cooking

utensils what else oh up here on this little

shelf we have all of our plates our mugs we have wine

glasses cutlery coffee maker so we are kind of

set in the cooking department what else oh

we have a mini fridge

and what else a little toaster oven we actually did

all of our meal prep while we were still at home because we weren't sure what the

situation was going to be like we also have a like a barbecue outside

so you can grill or cook stuff up over there but yeah

we're going to be having tacos and it's all

ready made so it's super easy and what else down here

okay this is kind of like a little cozy area

i'm going to call it the dining room it looks like a dining room

so we have a cute little bench little table in front of us a nice

window that looks into the forest and honestly this could

double as like a little work space or a little office

very cozy we have some cushions here some pillows

they left us some kind of puzzle so yeah this

is where we'll be eating our meals and then the only other thing that we

have downstairs is the bathroom so let me take you in

there this is actually the fanciest bathroom we've had at any

of our tiny house days we have a compost toilet and we also

have the luxury of a shower there we are

first time we've ever had a shower it's usually just been

compost toilets and we bring some some wet wipes to like

freshen up so really we do need arms in there i know um

so yeah this time we're only staying one night so i don't think we really need

need a shower but hey if you wanted one it's there

oh we also have a tv right over here just across from the couch

and they left us a huge movie selection if you can see that we've got i don't

know i'd say maybe like 40 50 different movies to choose from so

maybe we'll pick one out for this evening and

then the only thing left to show you is the

bedroom so we have to climb up to the loft so

let's do that okay so we have made it to the bedroom we are

a little backlit but basically this is the view we've got it looks like

a christmas tree farm out there to be honest

ariel is getting stuff from the car we forgot all of our drinking water

looks like she's being attacked by mosquitoes fight those mosquitoes

fight them off

oh my gosh that's too funny the mosquitoes have been horrible relentless

um and she's running back in also before i forget if you watched our last tiny

house video glasses usa is extending a 65

discount off of their frames so if you need some new specs

you can check that out we've got a link in the description for you

there we go she was attacked she came back

so quick um but yeah basically this is the bedroom area i think you can sit

upright in between the beams you can sit upright

in between the beams if you're not too too tall

so it's surprisingly comfortable like when i was booking this place i thought

maybe we wouldn't be able to really sit that we would just be kind of crawling

but this definitely makes it more comfortable for like reading or watching

movies just hanging out up here and what else

bed looks comfy we have lots of pillows and cushions and they have these cute

little stars twinkly lights star lights

whatever you want to call them and yeah this is the view from up top

voila this is the tiny home sister getaway

she says yeah i think that's everything i wanted to show you on the inside

next up i'm gonna put on some long pants a long sleeve and i'll show you the deck

area i need to guard myself from the mosquitoes because

i feel like bug spray doesn't work well enough

so let's go okay guys now we go outside i have prepared myself

as much as possible this is the outfit can you see it pajamas socks

oh there we go okay so yeah let's tour the exterior first of all our little

tiny house is right at the start of a trail so that

we can go hiking in the morning or maybe even

later this afternoon but we want to eat first

so that's really cool hiking trail right at our doorstep

also i love that they have so many little bird houses

in varying sizes and varying colors it's just very bright and cheerful like

look here we have another one a blue one and

they have the christmas lights up so yeah it just feels really really

festive but yeah let me show you around

basically we have this little deck area for outdoor dining when it's

not raining so there's a table there for four people

and then another little table down there for two

we have a barbecue if you wanted to grill some burgers

hot dogs you know your standard camp food what's this

it says welcome friends i wonder if it's bird food

here

oh i think that's for people who smoke it's a bucket with sand

yeah they also have christmas ornaments on the trees

so this is really cool i like the outdoor area they've made it a very

inviting place where you want to linger and hang out

and then we have our outhouse we actually have

two toilets at our disposal here they told us

they would prefer if we used the outhouse but for emergencies especially

in the middle of the night we have a toilet inside of the tiny home

that we can also use it's a compost toilet

so we are now in the kitchen prepping our dinner tacos thankfully we

pre-cooked the meat back at home because it turns out we don't actually

have a stove and that's my bad for not reading the description thoroughly

but what we do have is a toaster oven so we've put our meat in there we're

just heating it up now and we've already prepped everything

else so the guacamole has been made it's looking good

we have our taco shells our tortillas so we're all set in that regard oh and

cherries for dessert

my first bite of our chicken tacos here and i'm honestly pretty impressed

first i'm having ground chicken as taco filling okay

but it turned out pretty tasty i don't think i did too much as always

but it could be spicier the salsa it's not the hot one

oh nothing just regular we should have brought hot sauce

delicious huh ready to go hiking ready to go hiking are you guys ready to

go hiking we're ready we're ready trail engines so we might

have been overly optimistic about that hike even

though we were wearing long pants long sleeves and we covered ourselves in

repellent the mosquitoes decided our faces and ears were prime locations for

their attack and we only lasted a few minutes before

we were sprinting back to the safety of the cabin

we opted for a movie night instead and watched night at the museum and alice in

wonderland good night good night

well guys that is it for tonight we watched

two back-to-back movies i fell asleep during the first one

ariel fell asleep during the second one i was awake through the second we

watched night at the museum and then alice in

wonderland and yeah we're gonna get a good night's

rest and tomorrow we have an exciting day because my

sister and i are gonna go meet our little nephew for

the first time newborn nephew so we're really excited

um so yeah good night good morning world hello hello sister

hello good morning how did you sleep in your first

tiny house

it wasn't bad it which is their little christmas lights outside are kind

of pretty bright and the window had like no current so it

was just kind of blinding me i think overall it's possible yeah

good experience it was it was fun um i i actually had a good night's sleep i

feel like i'm used to this whole tiny house you slept like a baby i slept

like a baby i was like i was twitching and

kicking and snoring and i got okay i don't think i was snoring

but yeah it rained really hard early in the morning i think it must have been

like four or five when we had this huge torrential

downpour that actually woke me up just like the

rain hitting the roof and it was coming down so hard i was

like oh my gosh car please don't get stuck in the mud um

but yeah we're all good as you saw yesterday we couldn't

handle the trail the hiking trail we really wanted to do a bit of hiking but

i just keep forgetting like during the summer months in ontario a

lot of mosquitoes impossible like this would be a

beautiful place oh did it get in no it's outside

where this would be a beautiful place i would say an autumn

early autumn winter or like yeah or mid-autumn when like the foliage is

changing because it has a nice deck area so like you can hang out outside and

then also once the temperatures begin to drop

the mosquitoes aren't attacking you so you can go for long walks

enjoy the crisp air so that's when i would suggest visiting but yeah we

didn't get to hike which is kind of sad to me we made it for like a minute and a

half two minutes like no we're going back we're going

back turn around so there's lots of hiking to be done here it's just

not the right time of year or like you need to like bathe yourself in bug spray

like we wore bug spray and it was still bad um so yeah we're saying goodbye to
