My husband and I absolutely loved our time here. Especially right beside the river. Wish we would have brought our chest waders to walk right into the river. Beautiful sunsets. The quietest campsite we have ever visited. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much!

This was our 2nd time coming to Iris's property. We've agreed this will be an annual trip for us. Iris is so welcoming and kind. We love getting to chit chat with her during our stay. Her new dog Thunder was an absolute joy to be around. We were lucky to see Sterling again this year as well. You really don't need for much when you stay here. Trailer is very well equipped with the things you'll need to cook meals. Lorwell lake is stunning! Very clear clean water, great for swimming and kayaking. We absolutely love staying here!

This was our second time at the Princeton this summer and we loved it just as much as the first! Way fewer bugs in August compared to June, which was a nice bonus. It’s such a great spot with kids. There was tons to do at the beach, fun trails to explore, and a few play structure options. We also went out on the canoe and paddleboards, which was awesome to have right there to use. The beach on the river offers a sandy area to play and the water is shallow enough for the kids to explore on their own out to the buoys. The trailer is spacious and has everything we needed for our few days away. The hosts are friendly and responsive, and make sure we have everything we need. Highly recommend for families or anyone wanting a Q peaceful getaway!

Weekend Trip to The Bunk House Camp

The host was awesome — gave us a tour of the property and shared some of its history, which was a nice touch. The place is cozy, private, and well set up. There's a BBQ and a large custom smoker, perfect for outdoor cooking. Although it's off-grid, the host has solar batteries and a generator, so power was never an issue. We really loved our stay and would definitely come back!

This was an incredible find! The land was very well maintained, the site was well stocked with everything needed, and the scenery was amazing. I was suprised at the availability; a week before the long weekend we had an amazing spot. Being able to freely canoe or kayak was a nice suprise. Chris was a great guy to deal with, and on top of our questions. Thanks Chris for the all the work you do!

Great experience! The camper was comfortable and well appointed. Two kayaks and a canoe meant fun on the water. Firewood was amply provided. But the best part was how welcoming Iris and her crew (including Thunder, her doggo) made us feel so welcome.

Iris’s hidden gem at Lorwell Lake is nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and kindness. Iris is a wonderful host—thoughtful, friendly, and always happy to share a story. We loved our little chats with her. Her RV was spotless—clean and cozy. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. The peacefulness of the area was exactly what we needed. The quiet surroundings, tucked away by the lake, made it feel like our own private slice of paradise. We absolutely loved kayaking on the calm lake and swimming in the clear water. And we can’t forget about Thunder—her gentle giant of a dog. He stole our hearts! Such a sweet companion who made the experience even more memorable. If you're looking for a peaceful retreat with an amazing host, this is the place.

We had just about the most relaxing stay ever. Lake swimming, kayaking,.campfiring, lazing and digital detoxing. Everything you need is there, Iris is nearby if you need her but you also have total privacy on self contained site and little private jetty.

I can’t wait to visit again. Hidden Gem is a beautiful. Comes with most of the comforts of home but so much more. The flowers, the trees, the dock, the water, the floating dock, the views and those sunsets unbelievably amazing. All this and enjoying the peace and quiet from the city, Hidden Gem provides all this , oh, just about forgot ending the day with a beautiful campfire and this site.is completely private. Most importantly there is Iris. What can I say. She is an angel. So welcoming and accommodating but more than that she is just a real, kind, thoughtful, helpful woman. She has a way of making you feel like family. I will definitely be going back!!!

Weekend Trip to Wildwood Nature Escape

This place was amazing! My husband and I went here to have a little romantic getaway for our anniversary :) the property is still being built up but you can see there’s a lot of love put into it and they will have a sauna and cold bath soon too! The edge of the water is a little bit challenging to hang out in because it’s steep but they put two floaters anchored in there so it’s perfect for a little dip / relaxation if needed. We stayed in the sunset dome which had sunset right onto it so we got sunlight right to the end peaking through the trees it was beautiful. Had a big deck, bbq, personal fire pit. Really great! Genevieve was also really responsive and helpful! Definitely recommend :)

Weekend Trip to Wildwood Nature Escape

Wildwood retreat was an absolute treat! Easy to get to from Ottawa and a nice 2 hour drive. Her retreat is immaculate. The domes are so well done, clean and organized. Our private barbecue was the cleanest I’ve ever used in an accommodation like this! All the little touches were well thought out. Each had a private privy as well. All the accommodations were nicely spread out where I felt private and not in anyone’s way.

Thank you so much Iris for sharing your hidden gem with us. We absolutely loved our stay. We spent most of our days down at the dock Fishing, Kayaking, and enjoying the beautiful sunsets. The R.V. was everything we needed to relax and unwind at the end of each day. Iris, you were a wonderful host, checking in on us from time to time to make sure we didn't need anything, sharing your knowledge of the area, and even just to enjoy some friendly conversation. We enjoyed our time with the dogs, and wish we could have taken little Dodger home with us. We do hope you have some good fortune and are able to find that missing pup.

Everything was great! Big site right next to the beach with electricity, water and flush toilets very close (always clean). Hosts were very friendly and accommodating and so were the other people at the campground. Wood was delivered to our site and it was a good price for a lot of wood. Amazing fireworks display for Canada Day! Water was beautiful! Absolutely nothing to complain about. Very happy to have found this place and looking forward to going back😊
