Weekend Trip to Lakeport Valley Camp 🏕️

A very friendly host. Felt very welcome Lovely spot to put tent but is close to train track

1 night at Uxbridge Igloo

Cute concept and lovely property. Note that the gps didn’t work well and most of the area close by doesn’t have stable cellular data so be sure to read directions and address beforehand.

Weekend Trip to Affordable Camping on Hobby Farm

The campsite was for enough away from the house that it felt like we had privacy. The property was beautiful. The host were helpful when we seen them the last night they put on a beautiful Canada Day firework show that we were not expecting. I would definitely recommend this place that porta potty was a little far from the campsite and was probably my only complaint.

Weekend Trip to Honey Hideaway

I had an excellent time at Villa La Vida Loca. The hosts were incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. They went out of their way to ensure I was comfortable throughout my stay. The food was absolutely amazing. The brisket was outstanding, and the brisket pizza was unforgettable – easily one of the best meals I have had in a long time. Oh and the butter tarts, AMAZING! The cabin itself was cozy and inviting, with a great atmosphere that made it easy to relax. There was plenty of firewood available, which added to the comfort and charm of the stay. Overall, Villa La Vida Loca was a fantastic experience, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great getaway.

Weekend Trip to Honey Hideaway

The cozy little cabin feels like a warm embrace amidst nature's winter wonderland. The stillness of the woods, combined with the soft crunch of snow underfoot, creates an atmosphere of pure tranquility. A perfect retreat where one can reconnect with nature. We loved every thing about this glamping experience.

T's Pond

2 sites · Lodging29 acres · Port Colborne, ON

Like most folks who’ve been bitten by the water ski bug, I dreamed of having my own lake and when I met my life partner Harald, an elite slalom skier, my search began in earnest. By a combination of good timing and good luck, I was able to make that dream come true and in the spring of 2014 I acquired this land with the hopes of building my dream water ski lake on it. 7 years later, we have a thriving water ski club and are constantly making improvements to the site. We now have decided to add some sites for rent to share this incredible property with others outside the water ski community. Site #1 is a small cabin that sleeps 3 and site #2 is a small houseboat that has been converted to a bunkie. Onsite activities include use of a canoe and paddleboard. Use of a kid's swingset and olympic trampoline. Swimming and fishing. Pets are welcome, campfires are permitted.
