My wife and I went there to stay the weekend, we loved that and we are definitely going there again! Angela and Arnold are awesome hosts! We felt super welcomed to their place. The place is lovely and seems that it has come out straight from a storybook, the birds that come at our hands, super relaxing and intimate. They have a nice bbq, the space is well organized and clean, and have everything that we needed to just relax without worries. If you are wondering if you should go there’s or not, take my word, you are gonna love it, please go. To Angela and Arnold, thank you so much for the great conversations and laughter, we felt like we’ve known each other for a while!

Weekend Trip to Spirit Ridge Acres

Our stay at Angie and Arnold’s cottage was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed not just as guests, but as part of their family. The cottage itself was perfect. spotlessly clean, beautifully kept, and filled with a sense of peace that made our time there feel like a retreat. What made our stay even more special were the wonderful conversations we shared with Angie and Arnold. We spoke about life, spirit, and so much more, it was meaningful in a way that touched us deeply. Their kindness and warmth created memories we will carry with us for a long time. We had so much fun and joy during our stay, and every moment felt like a gift. Angie and Arnold are truly the best hosts we could have ever hoped for. Thank you for making our experience so unique and memorable, we can’t wait to return!

Weekend Trip to Spirit Ridge Acres

We absolutely loved our stay at Angela and Arnold’s little cabin! The cabin had everything we needed for a comfortable weekend getaway: electricity, a microwave, a mini fridge, and a spotless, odour-free toilet. The barbecue worked perfectly, and the cabin itself was cozy and well-stocked with blankets, a pull-out sofa bed, tea and coffee, cutlery, and utensils. Angela and Arnold were fantastic hosts—friendly, helpful, and always available when needed, yet respectful of our privacy. They even took us to see the animals on their property (horses, bull, and chickens) and to feed the chickadees, which was such a special experience. The location is ideal too—just a short drive to Bobcaygeon, where you can enjoy some ice cream or relax by the lock. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and I couldn’t recommend it more highly!

Weekend Trip to Spirit Ridge Acres

Overall we had a fantastic experience at Angie and Arnold’s property! Angie and Arnold are excellent hosts, they welcomed us with open arms and made us feel right at home as soon as we arrived. From helping us carry our bags to our bunkies with a wagon, showing us the animals on their farm, and sharing a campfire with us, we felt truly grateful for them. The bunkies themselves are also great. Everything was spotless and it had everything we needed. Even the composting toilet was way beyond my expectations. No smell, perfectly clean, and non-potable running water to wash hands with! The location of the property is also ideal. Close to town but far enough to have very little cell signal and truly disconnect. There was just enough signal to get a text through, which is all we wanted. Was great to be able to drive about 15 minutes to Fenelon Falls and about 10 minutes to Bobcaygeon, we were able to enjoy the shops and get lunch during the day and come back to our cozy bunkie for a bbq dinner and campfire. We’re definitely going to be back, it’s truly excellent spot for a weekend getaway.

The bunkie at Woodland Hideaway is really, really lovely. It is nestled nicely in the woods (a mostly cedar forest), within a short walk to your parking and the hosts’ home. Angela and Arnold were excellent hosts and checked in on us frequently enough for us to know they cared and were taking care of us, but not too much that we felt our space hampered. Would highly recommend staying here.

Everything in the cottage was thoughtfully prepared and very clean. Angie and Arnold were truly wonderful hosts. They checked in to see if we needed anything and were always happy to help.
