Wild Rose Sanctuary

Nestled into the lush green forest on a beautiful family farm, our fully furnished cabin and bell tent await you.

You can choose from one of two listings: a bell tent or a cabin. This secluded and quiet haven sits atop one of the farm's rolling hills, letting you gaze into the forest view below. Watch the sunset or rise and listen to nature's music as stress melts away.

The farm is surrounded by quaint country roads, farms, and homes to explore.

This is the perfect place to unplug, relax, clear your mind, read, meditate, and get away from the noise of everyday life.

Nearby off-the-beaten-path hiking to immerse yourself in nature & greenery (forest bathing!). The farm itself is surrounded by quaint country roads, farms, and homes to explore. Follow the river road to do some wading, fishing, swimming, or simply sitting in this gorgeous bucolic setting to calm your nervous system and let the stress melt away.

Nearby, within 20 minutes drive, are Stratford and St. Marys - both lovely towns with lots of beauty & culture to offer if/when you're wanting to re-enter civilization!

Sit on the large deck and enjoy the peacefulness of the area. 

The cabin is cozy and has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

In the heat of summertime this is such a lovely spot to splash around and cool off!

A generous pile of firewood is provided to keep you toasty and cozy in the evenings before turning in for the night.

Midway between the outhouse and the cabin at the end of the laneway, you should be able to find a deer trail to follow into the woods.  This photo is taken directly beside the best entrance, looking back towards the outhouse/tent area.

Take in the beauty of the creek in the woods.
