Living close to Georgian Bay, I’ve always wanted a waterfront property and I always believed in my heart that I will be blessed with one someday. After our family’s first camping trip to Manitoulin Island, my husband and I fell in love with “Spirit Island” and decided to find our own special place. Around Thanksgiving weekend of 2019, after several trips back and viewing a dozen properties, our search for a land was finally over and our wish came true. God was and is indeed faithful and in His own sweet time, has blessed us with a beautiful land. It has been quite a journey and with God’s grace, our place has been such a Sweet Oasis! It is our hope and prayer that we can share our blessings of this land to everyone who loves nature and respect God’s awesome creations! 😊 Sweet Oasis is a private camping get away. Tranquil & serene campsite provides you with a beautiful waterfront view. RV only campsite (dry camping). Forest, mature trees, birds & wildlife. Swimming, canoeing, kayaking fishing, biking, campfires & little adventures. Sweet memories await you. 🙂 Please note there is a quarry operation nearby which can be heard periodically. It may not be bothersome for others, but for those who are noise sensitive, that is something to be mindful of. Unfortunately, we don’t have any control over it. Wishing you happy trails! 😊

Enjoy the beauty of Muskoka, Lake Joseph, Lake Roseau, and kayak along the Joseph River that connects them. Breathe in the fresh pine scent of the Blue Heron Bunkie, equipped with double and single bunk beds. Relax and have fun at the private beach and enjoy swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding (SUP), hiking, and bird watching with native species including blue herons, loons, owls, and humming birds. You may see deer, beavers, martins, turtles, and can enjoy fishing right from the dock. The property has a main cottage that is occupied by the host/owners and is rented separately on other vacation rental/BNB websites. The bunkie is accessed by a staircase up to the deck and has a view of the Joseph River. There is a private swimmable beach and a spacious dock with one available boat slip. The property includes 500 feet of waterfront and is about 2 acres in total. There is plenty of room for parking. The driveway is steep and curved and just requires being cautious. If you prefer power boats and seadoos these can be rented at a nearby marina. This simple, clean, dry, and neat bunkie is comfortable and has a history of providing fantastic sleeping conditions with guests saying they had their best sleep in it. There are windows at the front and back providing a cross-breeze, assisted by a fan. The bunkie has electricity and lighting and can be used as a workspace. This location is ideal for paddlers, swimmers, hikers, artists, writers, and those interested in the additional comforts of a cabin rather than tent camping. There is a large deck, bbq, fire pit, Muskoka chairs, and outdoor eating area that can be shared with the host. Confirm details with host. Minimum stay 2 nights

2 nights at Cozy Cabin in the Woods

The cabin was charming and cozy, it came with various board games to pass the time and a telescope to enjoy the stars at night. The hammocks or what my partner and I call the nest was relaxing. We also had a golden retriever visit us on our 2nd and last day in the cabin. She was very friendly. If ever she does wander off on your visit, its the neighbor's dog, she is not lost, she's just enjoying the nature like the rest of us.

Weekend Trip to Cozy Cabin in the Woods

My wife and I spent Thanksgiving weekend at Sabrina’s cabin and absolutely loved it. The location is perfect—just a 10-minute drive from Rosseau, where we found a fantastic general store that had everything we needed (including firewood). We took our dogs to a nearby beach, grabbed great pizza at Rosseau Pizzeria on the boardwalk, treated ourselves to gelato, and browsed a charming antique shop in town. The cabin itself was amazing—extremely clean, cozy, and full of personality. Sabrina has thought of everything: a full-sized fridge, coffee maker, electric heater that kept the cabin nice and toasty, and even a whole upper loft we didn’t end up needing because the pullout couch on the main floor was perfect for us. Our big dog and mini poodle had plenty of space to stretch out too. The outhouse was surprisingly spacious and spotless, stocked with toilet paper and featuring a working sink with running water both inside and outside for washing dishes. We spent most of our time by the fire pit, which was large enough for a group and surrounded by ample seating. Between the two wooden picnic tables, the big deck, and the covered area with hammocks, there were endless spots to relax, cook, and enjoy the outdoors. Even though the cabin is just off a road, the trees and forest create a real sense of seclusion and peace—you quickly forget there’s any traffic nearby. Sabrina was extremely kind and welcoming, and we couldn’t have asked for a better host. We’d happily come back!

We had a great weekend at Sabrina’s cabin. Felt just like camping with a little less work. Everyone enjoyed relaxing in the hammocks and being so close to Rosseau and nearby trails made for a great fall getaway! Would love to visit again!

Weekend Trip to Cozy Cabin in the Woods

This cabin was the perfect little getaway for our artist retreat weekend! It's cozy inside and the space heater works very well! The outside has a lot of fun play structures and hammocks to let out your inner kid (or actual kids) and the twinkle lights add a touch of magic! I have been here a few times now and it keeps getting nicer every time! It shows that there is a lot of care and love that has gone into this place :) I highly recommend checking it out!

Sabrina’s cabin is a place everyone must go! It’s super cozy and near so many hidden gems. We had an amazing time roasting marshmallows by the fire, relaxing in all the hammocks, and swimming in the lakes near by. Sabrina is also an amazing host.

We loved staying in this cute cabin! It had all of the important amenities plus more. Sabrina’s hospitality is amazing. She answers any questions promptly and gives very clear directions. We loved how there were board games for the rainy days. This is our second time staying here and we look forward to coming back next summer! Sabrina added more unique features to this cabin since last year. The constant improvement shows us that she truly cares about her guests experiences and comfort. If you’re thinking about booking this place… just do it!

7 nights at Sweet Oasis

If you are looking for a perfect spot on Manitoulin Island which offers a place on South Bay right on the water, this is the place for you! Currently, there are no properties on Hip Camp offering privacy on Lake Huron. The owners have laid out the property in a way that you do not notice the neighbors. Rain or shine, the water views are gorgeous and untouched. This is a true Sweet Oasis! For Dark Sky Astronomy events, check out The Manitoulin Eco Park which is right down Rt. 6.

What a beautiful place! The cabin was perfect for my niece and I for a couple days. And the spot was just wonderful. We got "stuck" there for a day, due to car issues, and it was so peaceful and relaxing. You would never know that ypu were in an outhouse either. Bright, airy and zero smell. Lots of things to do nearby. Sabrina was so lovely as well. Always there to answer any questions we had by message. I would most definitely recommend and come back to this cabin over and over again.

I stayed last year early July, returned this year early June, and all the great things i mentioned in the previous review (see other Sweet Oasis listing) still apply, meaning it is consistently great :-) I am impressed by the love and care Liza +family clearly put into this place, and i am grateful they share it with others through Hipcamp!
