Our Accommodation
Welcome to our farmstay retreat!
The LINNK at Missing Link Adventure Tours is a year-round retreat in a peaceful, rural setting on an active organic farm. It’s truly a place to get away.
Situated on an old Finnish homestead, on the traditional lands of the Anishinabek and Mississauga Nations, the property is a mix of field, wetland and forest, along with our one acre market garden which can be seen along our main trail. We built the LINNK between 2019 and 2022 with the goal of providing a clean, open and comfortable space. Sustainability is at the heart of what we do. Throughout our building process, we did as much as we could to purchase sustainably produced supplies, reduce construction waste and re-purpose older items.

Bathrooms
There are two bathrooms across the hall from the bedrooms. Each bathroom is equipped with a shower, toilet and sink.
There is a washer and dryer in the large bathroom for use at an extra cost. If you need to use the laundry, please ask in advance, and we’ll get you set up. We will provide the laundry detergent.
Main Floor
The kitchen, dining room and living room space are on the main floor and all in one space.
The kitchen serves as our commercial kitchen for the farm and for special events we host when we have no guests. We have a good assortment of pots and pans, along with other functional kitchen items like bakeware, measuring cups, spoons, graters, citrus juicer, etc. The stove is a gas top with an electric oven. Because it’s a commercial kitchen, there are numerous sinks.
Off the main area, there’s a large screened-in porch that can be used in warmer weather. There is a picnic table on the porch that sits 12 and Muskoka chairs for lounging.

Guest Privacy
The LINNK is a part of our active and working farm. While guests have private use of the guesthouse, we live beside it (treed for privacy), and we are usually home or around the farm. We won't come into the guesthouse unless you need us to (or if we are cooking for you), but you will likely see us at some point during your stay. We have a large and very friendly dog that is usually by our side. On the property, we ask that you stay on our main trails, which loops around a large portion of the acreage.

We'll provide further guidelines during your stay for the commercial kitchen and septic system. Most products used in daily life are not good for septic systems, and we encourage you to leave your regular products at home and use the soaps, shampoo and conditioner (septic and earth friendly) that we provide.
Optional Food Packages
When you stay with us, you have the option of adding on food packages created with what is seasonally available and tasty! All of our dishes are based on using whole, nutritious foods. We use as many vegetables, fruits, and herbs from our farm as possible and other local products, such as honey, maple syrup, wild-crafted goods, and more. We purchase organically produced goods first, if available.
