1 night at The Cliffside Cabin

I just felt like getting out of the city for a bit and made a last-minute decision to visit the Cliffside Cabin. As a runner, I had a lot of fun on the 10km of trails that wind through the place Mike calls “The Ark”. The trails are really well maintained. Mike told me he leaf blows the entire distance at least once a month! I think I covered them all during my stay… but admittedly, my sense of direction isn’t the best and I was a bit “lost” on a couple occasions. Apparently Mike hosts a trail and snowshoe race series there called the Mad Trapper. So, I think I’ll try and book here again one weekend when he has a race going on. Another cool thing though is how perfect the surrounding gravel roads are for cycling. From my stealthy perch on the cliffside deck (which has incredible views, by the way), I spied maybe 2-3 cars passing during the day, but must have counted at least two dozen gravel cyclists. Next time, the bike is going on the rack as well. After the run, it was great to relax in the hammock with a book and sip a beer on the deck in a super comfy Costa Rican rocking chair. The cabin itself had everything I needed. It had a surprisingly comfortable bed that gave me one of the best nights of sleep I've had in ages. The complete quiet and fresh air just knocks you out in the best way. I didn’t have much cooking to do, but the “kitchen” had everything I needed. I grilled up some burgers on his tabletop “rocket-stove” grill, and scarfed em down. THE BEST!

Weekend Trip to The Cliffside Cabin

We spent a gorgeous and peaceful weekend at the Cliffside cabin. It had everything we needed for our offgrid/unplug and nothing we didn't - the bed was comfortable, the outdoor kitchen was well equipped, and a little fire in the massive fire pit kept us warm while stargazing. We took a walk on the trails out to the lake (watched some loons and a beaver!) before catching a beautiful sunset from the cliff. Michael was attentive to our requests both before and during the trip and was (bonus), really interesting to chat with. I would recommend this stay to anyone looking for a cozy getaway. Two seasonal notes - although temperatures dipped to 4 degrees overnight, we were perfectly warm in the insulated cabin. The early spring conditions also made the trails a little wet so we were glad for our waterproof hiking boots.

1 night at the Goose - Jamink Farm

I had an incredible time at The Goose! This was my second time staying there and I loved it both times. My dogs enjoy it so much. I’m very thankful to have found somewhere that my dogs are welcome. This is a great halfway point location for me to stay when travelling to New Brunswick. The cabin is always very clean and everything is set up. I can’t wait to go back!

Weekend Trip to White Pine Acres

As two city dwellers caught in the faster pace, worries, and stresses that come with that package, this was a very well needed rest. The only channel on is the "Nature Channel" and it was never boring. If you are looking for tranquility, this is a place to be. P.S. Thanks Mark for your warm welcome. We are sure to book again.

Weekend Trip to Quiet Forest Getaway

Tom and Jeanne were extremely accommodating and have a lovely little cabin on their property. The area has lots of forest trails and so much history. We used the local trails, fire pit, and grill that Tom let us cart to the cabin. We stayed in mostly as it was early spring and rainy and had a great time. Fully stocked kitchen, very spacious cabin, we kept ourselves occupied. Highly recommend!

The Green Room was the Perfect solo writer's retreat. The room is absolutely beautiful, with dark green walls, gorgeous antique furniture, and charming artwork. Thanks to the electric heating and kettle, I never had to worry about making or maintaining a fire, which left a lot more time and energy to read and write. The lighting was perfect as well, with bright wall sconces to illuminate the room at night, and a bedside lamp for more focused light/reading in bed. Mary and family are very kind and hospitable, and also amazing at respecting boundries!! They took great care of me and the space, even letting me know before they let dogs out in case it would bug me. It felt confident that I would be left in peace as long as I wanted, but also that someone would be around if I needed anything. Even the animals were great. The sheep and goats are very friendly, and good listeners if you find yourself wandering the property at night. The deer are somewhat shyer, but still delightful. The only thing it was missing was running water, but this didn't bother me because I'm used to camping. Frankly, it was much fancier than I had anticipated. The composting toilet was lovely and modern, and came with clear instructions (in a fancy frame to boot). I recommend bringing baby wipes or other gentle dry-bathing material if you're going to do more than two nights.

Weekend Trip to Ferme Lanthorn

I have a wonderful weekend at the Green Bunky! Mary gave me a tour of the farm when I arrived and I got to meet (and even feed!) the deer, goats and sheep. The bunky was cute, cozy and peaceful. I was nice and warm all weekend and it had everything I needed. Mary also gave me some directions for snowshoeing and I had had a great time traipsing around in the woods, checking out the frozen beaver pond and checking out the logging trail. I'm looking forward to coming back next winter!

I had a lovely stay at the Green Bunky and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for some quiet time surrounded by nature. The Bunky has everything you might need for a short stay and feels very cosy. I particularly enjoyed the quiet, the opportunity to go for a nature walk in the nearby forest, meeting the animals and Mary's kindness and friendliness.

1 night at White Pine Acres

My 10 year old Daughter and I had a wonderful winter stay. The cabin was clean & warm with a beautiful winter view of the pond. Mark was kind and welcoming. We explored the forest, had sausages and s'mores over the camp fire, what more could one ask for. It was great.

1 night at White Pine Acres

We had such a lovely stay here. We stayed overnight in January and the cabin was so cozy. Cooking was easy with a propane powered oven and lots of pots, dishes ans cuttlery included. The site felt completely private but Mark was just a short snow mobile ride away if we needed anything. We saw dear, lots of birds and half grown up tad poles through the ice!! The groomed trails were great for walking our dog and the out house was surprisingly comfortable with a motion sensor light and a flannel cover on the toilet seat for winter. Mark is a great host, 11/10 recommend for a quiet cozy get away!

2 nights at White Pine Acres

We had an amazing NYE getaway at White Pine Acres. The cabin was very clean, well equipped and so cozy with the fire going! We woke up to a winter wonderland and loved walking the trails in the freshly fallen snow. Mark was an excellent host and offered great and quick communication. We loved watching the birds at the bird feeder and seeing the deer right outside the cabin. We will return!

It is a good mix of mountains and animal farm scenery with many pine trees.

Weekend Trip to Ferme Lanthorn

My husband and I camped for the night in our roof top tent. We had such a warm greeting from the hosts and Mary showed us around the property. The property is beautiful. We walked through the woods and up the mountains. The animals were our favourite part of the visit. Overall, it was the perfect 24 hour getaway! And the stars at night were magnificent. It was a clear and cool night. We will be back!
