Weekend Trip to Cosy Log Cabin
A perfect getaway for a busy couple to just unwind. We live only about an hour away so it was nice to not have to drive so far to find something secluded and that it was... Totally private with all the amenities you need to just relax. Sitting in the hot tub while listening to the babbling brook beside you is just so peaceful. The host was very friendly and responsive.

My boyfriend and I absolutely adored Ben’s cabin. It was so beautiful and we had the best time. The host has went above and beyond to give us guests a great experience when staying here. We were just so amazed by the property. And the touch of Christmas was the cherry on top. We plan on coming back at least once a year. We especially loved the seclusion, peace and quiet, and being right in nature in a luxurious cabin. This is the absolute best place for a relaxing trip. It definitely exceeded our expectations. And Ben is a very friendly and attentive host, and responds quick with any questions or concerns.

We had a such a great 2 nights at Riverview. David was waiting for us upon arrival, which was great for me and my 2 kids. I recommend the Glamping bundle- we were later arrivals and earlier departure, so it was nice to not have to set up and dismantle a tent. Perfect site for the kids and dog!! Will definitely be back.

1 night at Happy Buddha Bell Tent
We had an awesome night in the bell tent! It was one of the most secluded sites we've ever stayed at. The tent is set back very far on the property, which made it feel like we had the whole place to ourselves. The weaving hiking trails were a great walk in the morning, and the viewpoints along the way were incredible. We'd definitely recommend staying and would love to come back!

My second time to camp at Monarch Meadows Tree Farm these summer, brought my family 21/2 grand daughter and a dog what else to say we all “LOVE IT” we had so much fun, played games, guys went fishing for hours. Storm on our first night but nothing stop us, like my husband said its camping lol, but the best of all star gazing the moon is out so beautiful.
David was so accomodating he will help you in every way to make you feel home, and his daughter who was with him on the day we arrived shes a sweetie.
Definitely were going back to camp again, its peaceful place to enjoy time with family and life in nature.

The owners are lovely and were very nice. The river was not swimmable and locals said they don't swim in it as it's too green and filled with goose poop. But it is wonderful to live beside as nature is alive and beautiful. The outdoor kitchen was lovely although I didn't cook there. But there's an actual small oven. And it was nice to have the sink to brush my teeth and wash dishes. The kitchen is well equipped with cooking pots annd utensils and essentials like oil and salt etc. There is a pit toilet that worked well. Also a fire pit but I was there during a fire ban. My main purpose was to go to the theatre in nearby Stratford. And hotels are so expensive. And this is about 20 min away. So u went from tent to theatre. Win win! Would recommend this independent campsite for sure.

Matt was a wonderful host!! He met us at the site and shared some tidbits about the area. The sites were close but with the trees between them and how spacious they were it felt very secluded. The bathroom was a very clean portapotty not far from the camp.
Some talked about the noise from the road, but it was very minimal and barely able to be heard over the sound of the wildlife.
