Hi there! 🌞 We're thrilled to welcome you to Agape Gardens, our 30-acre homestead nestled in the Gatineau Hills. Our property is more than just land; it's a dream we've nurtured and cultivated with love—a place to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with nature.
We have several unique spots for staying, each with its own vibe: cozy bell tents, our minimalist A-frame cabin, and sites to bring your own tent or RV/camper. Whether you’re here for a solo retreat, a family getaway, or simply a break from the city, you'll be surrounded by the peace and calm of the land.
We’re open year-round, and guests are invited to embrace the beauty of winter as well. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can experience the quiet magic of winter camping, with snowy forest views, crisp fresh air, and the warmth of our wood-fired sauna and hot-tub just steps away.
For rest and relaxation, you can warm up in the sauna, soak in the hot-tub cool off in the cold plunge, or try a venik session—a traditional sauna ritual with aromatic branches that feels incredible on the body (available in the extras section).
On the property, you’ll find a pond to explore, trails to wander, wildflower gardens, chickens, and an edible garden. We’re passionate about conscious living and have designed our land using permaculture principles to create a thriving, edible landscape.
We look forward to hosting you and sharing the magic of our land. Come, relax, explore, and reconnect with the simplicity of life—no matter the season.

Hosts are very friendly
Land is very private, you have access to a common area and bathroom in the main house
And the Cabin is far enough that it's private

My family and I stayed in one of the bell tents at Agape Gardens. It was super clean and very well decorated. It was so inviting and cosy. Jennie smudged the tent prior to us arriving which is such an honour to have done. Jennie and her beautiful family welcomed us with a tour of the property, which we found to be extremely well looked after. From the brimming gardens, healthy live stock, well established hiking trail, to the multiple options of sites to camp at, we were very impressed. We felt at home immediately and wished we could’ve stayed longer. We also met her neighbours who were also very friendly people and jumped to help us fix some toys we had with us.
We will most definitely visit this special place again.
An easy 5 star review.
Many thanks Jennie and Jeremy.

Lovely spot- very relaxing, amazing view, friendly hosts. we loved the bell tent, although we were there on the first night of October, so it got a bit chilly in the evening- luckily there were extra blankets. We were only there for one night, so didn’t get a chance to try out all of the extras but definitely would book more time on a return visit.

The campsite is beautiful, well maintained and has great privacy for each campsite. Jennie and Jeremy were very welcoming and quick to respond if you need anything! You will definitely have a relax time here with the beautiful views. The sauna and cold plunge are also great plus!
During the night, the weather would drop low even inside the tent so definitely need to dress warm! Would love to be back soon!

Nous revenons d’une superbe fin de semaine de glamping! L’hôtesse est vraiment gentille et attentionnée. L’option déjeuner vaut absolument le détour : délicieux et très généreux en portions. Le site est parfait pour se connecter à la nature et décrocher complètement. Une expérience relaxante que je recommande sans hésiter!

We had an amazing time staying in the House of Pisces at Agape Gardens. It was a great way to get away from the city and into nature to reset ourselves. I would recommend this stay to anyone looking to get away for a weekend! We had a beautiful view of the sunrise and the Gatineau mountains as soon as we exit our tent, which added to the existing beauty of the property. You will definitely enjoy your stay!

Host is kind and accommodating, property is really beautiful, plenty of amenities. The tent has spacious, cozy, and quiet wonderful. Has plenty of ability to get cross winds on a hot day.
The breakfast prepared by the host was amazing, and the firewood is dry and split into good sized pieces.

Very nice first glamping experience. Agape gardens is a nice and open area that allows you to feel the tranquility within nature. The sauna experience was a nice add-on, especially with the venik treatment. The hosts were very welcoming.

Sauna and cold plunge and venik treatment were a great addition as well, hosts were welcoming and accommodating.

Such an impressive homestead that Jennie and family have created. Beautiful, quiet farmland with so many ammenities to choose from. I was traveling through on a road trip so it was amazing to find a place outside of the city to stay that was peaceful, beautiful and quiet. I enjoyed the Leo cabin with my dog and Jennie and family were very welcoming and accommodating. They set me up after a long day of traveling with a great sauna and cold plunge with great touches like eucalyptus and camomile tea. I enjoyed a quiet fire afterwards which set me up for a great nights sleep. I would highly recommend a stay at Agape Gardens!"
