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!

We had the best weekend here at the dome! There’s so much to do to keep you busy. From the trails in the woods, kayaking, enjoying the hot tub, and fire pit. You won’t be disappointed!

Weekend Trip to Creekside RnR Glamping

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!

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.

Bootsie's was our home for 2 nights During our road trip from Ontario to the Maritimes. It was well equipped and we were able to drive our car right to the cabin. We enjoyed the luxury of some electricity (while it lasted) to make some great coffee that was provided. We really enjoyed hanging out with the Emus and Chickens and taking in the sweeping views at sunset. Loved our stay here!

My mom, pup, and I stayed at Creekside RNR for one night and it was magical! We ordered a charcuterie board to be ready in our dome once we arrived, which was such a treat. The dome was much bigger than we expected and felt like such luxury after a long day on the road. The owners were super responsive throughout our entire stay and were eager to ensure we enjoyed every moment. We loved getting to walk around the trails on the property. Though we didn't have the extra time to take advantage of the spa on site, it looked beautiful! I would 100% stay here again!

The dome itself is luxurious and clean, and the amenities offered such as the hot tub or the hammocks are nice and relaxing. If you’re looking for a quiet escape with a touch of luxury, Creekside RNR is a great choice.
