The space
Located steps from the Elora Cataract Trailway, part of The Great Trail, Tailwinds backs onto vibrant wetlands home to diverse wildlife and beautiful greenery. It makes the the perfect location to embark upon outdoor adventures of all kinds. Cycling, hiking, running, horseback riding, snowshoeing, cross country skiing and even snowmobiling are all allowed uses of the trail.

If venturing out is not your thing, simply relax by our own pond that is home to turtles, muskrats, beavers and birds too numerous to list. If you are really quiet you might even spy a great blue heron hunting in the stream.

Guest access
In addition to our well-appointed guest rooms, you will have access to our stunning sun room looking out to the wetlands behind the house. Access to a large flat screen television and gas burning fireplace are great places to snuggle up for the evening. A sitting room adjacent the dining room is also available to you for evening chats, reading or simply enjoying some peaceful quiet time.

Neighbourhood highlights

The Village of Hillsburgh is located in the Town of Erin and has a rich heritage dating back to the 1800's. Once connected to Toronto by the Credit Valley Railway, such companies as Gooderham & Worts helped build a thriving agricultural economy around the mill ponds that now are home to diverse fauna and wildlife. Take the Hillsburgh Heritage Walking Trail and you will be delighted by the beautiful Victorian era architecture and natural features of the village.

Around the township you will find many small communities, each with their own story and unique sights to see. Conservation Areas like the Forks of the Credit and Belwood are a short drive or nice bike ride away.

The arts are alive and well in the area as well. The Century Church Theatre has approximately 6 productions a year. 2017 will see the 29th edition of The Hills of Erin Studio Tour featuring some 19 artists at 10 studios in the area.

In short, there is something for just about everybody right here in our back yard!

We have poured our hearts and souls into Tailwinds and would love for you to come share our journey.
