1 night at The Secret Sanctuary
An amazing private, quiet and clean hidden gem. Denika and her family were more than amazing and hospitable. The aspen tent is well equipped and very neat.
I’m adding this spot to my favourite list and encouraging everyone to catch a break at this place.

The weekend was wonderful. The glamping tent was beautiful and the bed was cozy warm. The morning breakfast was amazing. We enjoyed sitting around the campfire being visited by a llama! We walked the trails and hugged a tree. Great time. Thankyou you Denika and family.

The Secret Sanctuary was an absolutely amazing place to visit. We were in awe of the land and the accommodations the entire time we were there. Our "tent" was outfitted with beautiful furniture, including lovely flooring and accents. More than I ever could have imagined, even for "glamping". Everything inside and out was clean and organized.
The outside shower was next level, what a truly amazing experience. Compost toilets are genius and I LOVED that there was a hand washing station outside of the washrooms.
We got lucky enough to have their dogs around a fair amount, and even got to see the Llama.
There is a fully outfitted outdoor play area, with forts, and swings, and slides, a sand pit, trampoline, and climbing area. The kids never wanted to leave. Denika even let us play inside with her daughter after checking out her store at the main property.
The communication was great, getting add-ons such as firewood and a generator/power pack thing was a breeze.
It is clear that this family cares deeply about their property, their guests, and the land. We are very lucky to have had this experience and cannot wait to go back.

Weekend Trip to The Secret Sanctuary
A huge thank you to Denika, Nic and Veona for their incredible hospitality and spirit. We stayed at Aspen glamping site - total magic. Secluded and special - tent was spacious and so comfortable. Add to that yummy breakfast and paddleboarding and you’ve got special memories that will never fade. All the other amenities were close at hand making the experience easy. We added yoga session with Sophia which was so fabulous. Not to mention their two dogs and sweet lama - Bowdie! He’s adorable. Thank you Secret Sanctuary for the lovely experience. We will be back.

Our family of 5 (kids 8, 6 and 5 years old) had the most amazing glamping experience! The hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The entire property was so clean and well-organized, which made for a stress-free stay.
What truly made this trip unforgettable was the abundance of kid-friendly activities. Our children absolutely loved feeding the pigs and visiting the chicken pen and the llama. The trampoline and two fantastic play structures kept them entertained for hours, and the ropes courses were a huge hit. There was so much to do that we never heard a single 'I'm bored!'
We are already talking about our next visit. We will definitely be back!

The space is very clean, cozy, comfortable, peaceful. We enjoyed our privacy, the camp is safe & family friendly. It was our first camping experience and Denika was a huge helper, she answered all our questions even sometimes wasn’t really related to our booking. The camp is great choice if you want to experience of being camping but very suitable for families especially if you have little ones.
Denika’s family -all- were so welcoming and supportive. Her adorable girls are so sweet and great friends if you’ve little ones 🥰 We loved their quick response to change the compost toilet, refilling the water & ….etc
Their Homemade Breakfast is a must try, we couldn’t resist reordering it twice😋 Yoga session was relaxing.
We enjoyed the sandy beaches at Pigeon lake, Ma-Mo lake, hiking and we rent a water paddle. The Nature Shower was our daily treat after barbecuing and playing.
Everything is near by and accessible (15 mins) grocery, clothing, gas station, …. so don’t overpack.
Thank you again for having us, we’re grateful for your effort and support and will definitely coming back soon!

2 nights at The Secret Sanctuary
My daughter and I did a girl’s trip here at Secret Sanctuary and it didn’t disappoint. My daughter loved all the animals, especially the llama. I loved the tranquility and beauty around us. We enjoyed little jaunts to Twin Lakes, Village at Pigeon Lake, and went for pedicures by someone recommended by Denika. Had a great time!

It was more than I expected. The tiny cabin was honestly better than the photos. I loved being able to feed the animals. The breakfast was amazing, so much food and a variety and homemade goodies jams and bread etc!.
The pottery aroma therapy etc. this is somewhere my group and I will be back to. I also plan to bring my family for a separate little camping trip.
The site are great weather your looking at glamping tents the tiny cabin or just tent/camping spots. The outdoor shower looked amazing although we didn't get to try it.
There is an entire kid friendly area which my 9yr old loved! The family is more than you could ask for for hosts.
They have composting toilets, there are 3 beaches very close by within a 5-13 min drive.
Can't wait to go back to experience more fun with friends and family, and honestly maybe even just drop in for the items they sell at the market. I'm in love with my roll on perfume. Next time I definitely want to book massage, so many options and different things to do. All I can say is you gotta go at least once. You won't regret it.

We absolutely loved it. The Birch Glamping tent was our home this past weekend. Truly glamping, the tent was had all the comforts of home, very clean and the bed and futon were very comfortable.

This is such a beautiful, quiet and peaceful escape you will want to book your next stay there, I know I will be.

We loved loved our stay. Such nice people and the tent is amazing. We went in May and at 5 degrees at night it was pretty cold. So we recommend heaters if you’re not carrying it. But other than that if was fantastic.
