Weekend Trip to Beach and Forest

We had a great two night stay at the Owl's Nest cabin. Helmut answered all of our questions before we left and transported us to the cabin to show us around the cabin and property. Cabin is secluded and off-grid. Our dog was not a fan of the steep stairs to the loft. Don't forget to bring your orange vest and remember to check for ticks. Highly recommend for those looking for a quiet getaway.

Weekend Trip to Beach and Forest

We absolutely loved our stay at Owl’s Nest! Helmut treated you like family, sharing his experiences tending the forest and the cabin that he built. If you’re looking for a place to get off-grid, connect with nature, and be able to explore the many trails just outside your door, this is the place! We especially appreciated how the land was private, so that we could let our pup explore without worrying about running into any other dog owners. It was a great to share this cabin and we will certainly be coming back!

Kitchen table with bench storage seating & upper loft area for sleeping and relaxing.

1 night at Bootsie's

We surprised my parents with a stay at Bootsie Back 40 Cabin for their 40th anniversary, and it was absolutely perfect! The hosts went above and beyond with every detail. The cabin itself is so cozy and welcoming, surrounded by stunning fall colors that made the whole experience magical. My parents loved the peace and quiet — they spent their mornings sipping tea while listening to the birds sing. The hosts were wonderfully friendly and even took photos of my parents for me, which was such a thoughtful touch. They also got to visit the farm animals (including two emus!), which they absolutely adored. Thank you for helping me give my parents such a memorable and heartfelt experience. This will be a trip they’ll cherish forever!

Get ready for a peaceful and magical stay, nestled between the dreamy domes and a charming boat. The treehouse has everything you need- from running water, a full outdoor kitchen, a/c for those hot nights and a cute wood stove for the cold nights. There are even wagons to carry your belongings which was super helpful. If you’re missing anything, Angele is quick to respond!

Great little spot. The wood stove made it very cozy and we had enough power for the water, lights and coffee in the morning. It was great having a camping experience while not having to take down tents in the morning. Recommend it if you're in the area.

The dome is FANTASTIC! It's cozy, beautiful and so unique. We had a wonderful stay and an AMAZING sleep in the very comfortable bed. The spa is also truly amazing. Beautiful, serene and exactly what we needed after three weeks on the road camping. Do yourself a favour and book this fab place!

Charlene was the most incredible host! She was so kind, approachable, and informative. She texted us to find out our arrival time so that she could give us a tour of the property when we arrived—it was such a treat to meet all of the critters! She even moved our trailer back into the woods a bit so that we could have privacy and enjoy the pond. The trailer itself is very comfortable, with a toilet, sink, shower, fridge, and table with sitting room.

We absolutely loved our stay at the treehouse! The space itself is beautiful and thoughtfully designed, with everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing retreat. The trails and the privacy made it feel like a true escape, and the quiet surroundings were just what we were looking for. One of the highlights was being able to stargaze right from bed — such a magical experience. The kitchen and amenities were well stocked, which made meals easy and stress-free. The swing set and hammocks were a huge hit with both the kids and adults alike, adding such a fun and playful touch to the stay. It really was the perfect combination of comfort, nature, and little details that made it memorable. We’d come back in a heartbeat and highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a unique getaway. Next time we'd love to stay for several nights and really make the most of it.

Besides being the cabin weve ever been to, this cabin is perfect to get away from it all. We really felt recharged and rested and able to reconnect with nature. We saw plenty of different birds, including a flock of Cedar Waxwings and Woodpeckers. The wild blackberries also make for a delicious treat while exploring the surroundings. The atmosphere inside the cabin, during day or night, compares to no other. It is a pleasure for the senses and its solid wood structure has hints Alpine Forest wilderness. You can not go wrong booking the owl's nest.

Had a great weekend getaway! We had a wonderful time staying in the Minnie this past weekend. The trailer was exactly as described; clean, comfortable, and a great alternative to tent camping. It made for an easy and relaxing outdoor experience. One unexpected highlight was the friendly rooster who stopped by to hang out during the day, and we could hear sheep "bah-ing" in the distance, which added a touch of charm and comedy to the peaceful surroundings. The location was perfect for stargazing by the fire, and the overall atmosphere was quiet and serene. The hosts were welcoming and helpful without being intrusive, which we really appreciated. If you're looking to disconnect and enjoy a quiet escape without the distractions of city life, I definitely recommend this spot!
