Weekend Trip to Willow Pond Haven
From the moment we arrived, we knew we had found a truly special place. Lisa's cabin isn't just a rental; it's a magical escape that feels instantly like home, only better. Everything about our stay exceeded expectations, and we can't recommend it—or Lisa as a host—highly enough.
The entire property is meticulously maintained and offers such a sense of peace.
Special mention: the amazing, clean pond. It was a sparkling centerpiece to the landscape! Whether we were enjoying our morning coffee by its edge or watching the sunset reflect off the water, it created the most tranquil atmosphere. It's clearly well-cared for, which made it such a joy to be around.

Weekend Trip to Willow Pond Haven
I had such a wonderful time glamping here! The place was beautiful, comfortable, and surrounded by nature — a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. The peaceful atmosphere made it such a refreshing escape from the city.
Lisa and Scott were absolutely lovely hosts — warm, welcoming, and always happy to help. Their friendly approach really made the stay feel extra special!
I loved the friendly chickens roaming around, adding a cute countryside touch. The barbecue setup was great, and spending the evening by the firewood under the stars was such a cozy experience. Kayaking was another highlight — calm waters, lovely views, and lots of fun!
Overall, it was a relaxing and memorable experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy nature in a fun and comfortable way! 🌞🔥🚣♀️🐔

What a great little get away. Comfortable and the hosts are pretty awesome. They give you all the privacy you need and wood was cut and ready to burn for a camp fire. I would recommend anyone who is looking to go

Weekend Trip to R&R Back Road Country Retreat
Renee & Randy your property is beautiful. We loved walking all your trails with our dogs. The thought you both put in to the little details like the dog library was so cute. The sunsets were gorgeous and we loved sitting on the floating dock every morning to drink our coffee. If anyone is looking for a get away weekend to disconnect this is the place to go!

Our recent stay at this cozy cabin was everything we hoped for in a family getaway. From the moment Lisa and Scott welcomed us, we felt right at home. Tucked away in such a peaceful setting, it truly felt like the perfect escape. The cabin smelled wonderfully of fresh-cut wood, the bed was so comfortable, and with camp lights, a heater, and a fire pit just steps away, our evening were so relaxing.
We loved all the little thoughtful touches—a spotless washroom, a drinking water jug, and fun outdoor games. The pond with its fountain, dock, and graceful willow tree quickly became our favorite spot. Nights by the fire with the pond lights glowing felt magical. We also adored the chicken coop—watching the hens being fed and collecting some super fresh eggs was such a treat!
Being just minutes from Durham and Hanover, with their charming shops, local restaurants, and a nearby park for hiking or fishing, made the stay even better. We can’t wait to come back!

This place is literally beautiful. We really had second thoughts before booking since it appeared too good to be true. But the way the host was responsive since the booking happened and until we were recieved by them is truly appreciable. I love that they went extra mile to put all the little details to make our stay extra helpful, specially the host helped us with starting campfire as we had no idea how to do it. Clean beds, clean washrooms. They provided us with water and grill. The cabin felt very cosy and smelled wonderful due to pinewood. They also went ahead and provided us camp lights and a heater. I haven't found a place like this on hipcamp until now, will definitely suggest. Thanks Lisa for going above and beyond.

Weekend Trip to Willow Pond Haven
Camping on Lisa and Scott's piece of paradise was amazing. Very serene. We were greeted upon arrival, such a lovely couple. Great place for a quiet getaway with access to their picturesque pond and property. They provide absolutely everything required for a successful getaway. Fresh well water provided was definitely a delight. Lisa reminded us she was always a text a way if needed. They have chicken coop that was quite entertaining while sitting around the fire.
All around I would definitely give Lisa and Scott a 12/10 for their piece of paradise. We will definitely be back.

This place was soooo beautiful. Semi private. Lisa and Scott go above and beyond to make sure your stay is perfect. The outhouse was extremely clean and has a sink for washing hands. The bunkie is newly built, smells SO GOOD. Spacious and clean. You can see the pond from the bunkie, few steps away. It's so clean and well kept. Has a dock to just zen out or float in a tube and take in the beauty of the property. They gave us fresh drinking water and re filled it the next day. Fire pit is perfect. The stars are insaine at night. Over all 10/10. Definitely recommend

My partner and I took a long weekend and stayed at the cedar creek cabin site. Upon arrival we met with both randy and Renee, they welcomed us and showed us the way via atv. (We followed in our car) they led us through a river (only ankle drop at that spot) and over a smaller creek which our car had no issues doing.
Upon entering our site, we were astounded at how large of an area our campsite was! It was huge! And everything was provided for us except our food, and extra firewood which we were able to buy as we needed.
There were many trails we could explore, and along the main road, there were places you could leave your name, and a dog library (take a stick, leave a stick)
We brought our almost 11 year old lab who loved every moment of it! We also brought our bird, who also loved being in a new location.
The property is huge, the other campers were very friendly, and I have no complaints! The weather was cold at night, but we were told ahead of time to bring extra blankets which we did!
The extra care that is put into this by randy and Renee, is outstanding! I totally recommend you to this place.

Beautiful location. We enjoyed staying at Lana's cottage. Close to a beach access and some beautiful provincial parks. Enjoyed that everything we needed was there. Loved the fires in the back yard. Great place to make special memories with our friends and family!

I recently stayed at this beautiful cabin with my girlfriend along with our dog. It was such a wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed by Scott and Lisa. We drove to the back of the property where our cozy cabin awaited. It felt like a quiet getaway in the woods. The cabin smelled like fresh cut wood and the bed(s) themselves gave us the best sleep ever. The fire pit was steps away along with the picnic table and restroom. It was the escape we were looking for and more! Been shown the property with the open pond, cascading water fountain and gorgeous willow tree hanging over, it felt like an enjoyment waiting to be had. Having access to kayaks and other water toys; our dog being able to play in the water made it all come together. At night we had access to the BBQ and firewood, the lights around the pond light up and we did escape to enjoy those little moments. The town of Durham nearby was about a 10 min drive where there are antique stores and consignment stores to ruffle through. We ended the afternoon with a hike near by the cabin … We found oyster mushrooms and chicken of the woods to cook over our campfire that night. Thank you for our getaway. It was amazing to check out to check in on what we were looking for.

Weekend Trip to R&R Back Road Country Retreat
R&R was such a restful time ☺️ the pond is crystal clear, it was like looking into a whole other world as a rowed across the water. The bunkie is secure, clean and slightly bigger than I expected. Renee & Randy we're wonderful hosts and extremely happy to assist if needed! There wasn't any reception for me and the river crossing is something to inquire about if your vehicle is low riding. I can definitely see myself visiting again ☺️

4 nights at R&R Back Road Country Retreat
I enjoyed my stay at Sunset Pond. Very private, quiet and relaxing. Sophie and I enjoyed walks on the trails daily and taking dips in the pond. This would be a wonderful site in the fall as I prefer cooler weather and unfortunately stayed this time in a cooker of a heat wave. I will look at coming back for a couple of days then. I also didn't notice until later that the balloons said Happy Birthday. I appreciate the thought Renee and Randy!

Group trip
Our 3 night stay at the cottage was very peaceful and relaxing, just what we needed. Our adult children and their spouses also joined us to make it a special birthday for their mother. Our dogs also got to enjoy the walks and outdoors. The water was low, so we only walked there once, but very wonderful Lake Huron sunsets. Twenty 20 minute drive to Kincardine to enjoy a dip in the water. Lana’s Cottage had everything we needed just bring your food, drinks and enjoy. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us.
