Whether you’re here to camp, explore, stargaze, or simply disconnect, you’re stepping into a landscape that has been protected through sharing, with care and intention.
If you’re looking for true wilderness, deep quiet, and a stay that stays with you long after you leave — you’ve found it.

Stephen has a magical spot here. Enjoy wandering the forest, r&r by the fire and views of the wildlife in the valley. A cabin where you can hear the wolves sing and watch the eagles fly. What more could you ask for!? Bring your dogs as they’ll have a blast running free and wild. Stephen is a wonderful, accommodating host and just an all-around great dude!

Cozy cabin, lovely and isolated setting, and lots of stars! A perfect getaway from the city and the hectic pace of life. We had a great time and Stephen was helpful.
Note that the ladder to the sleeping loft is very steep, heating is with fire, and the toilet could be complicated for a kid, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend the cabin for a child under 8 years old. The cabin was snug for 2 people but would probably have felt crowded with 3.

We had such a fantastic stay at this cosy off‑grid cabin. The space was warm and inviting, with an amazing view that made every sunrise and sunset feel special. At night, the sky was filled with stars that truly felt magical. A sky filled with stars like I have never experienced before. It was the perfect place to unplug and relax. Our host catered to all of our needs, was attentive without ever being intrusive, and made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. We left feeling refreshed and with a strong desire to come back again soon. I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in nature.

Weekend Trip to LeTerrain-400acre dark sky Park
We absolutely loved everything about this perfect winter cabin getaway! The cabin was surrounded by a beautiful forest and beaver pond with well maintained winter trails for us to explore by snowshoe! Snowshoeing over the beaver pond was definitely a highlight! The cabin had even more amenities than we expected! Not only a cozy wood stove but also a gas heater as well. Kitchen dishware was also appreciated and there was also a BBQ to use! The view from the bed was also spectacular! Falling asleep under the stars and waking up to blue skies was magical! We were never cold, the wood stove kept us super warm and cozy!

I feel so lucky to have had 2 wonderful nights in Dogstar. The photos really don't do it justice. Millions of trees as far as the eye can see, sparkly plush snow and a cozy woodstove. The only interuption to the quiet? Wolves singing to each other under the stars on my first night! 🥰
Extra bonus: Ranger Steve is an enthusiastically thoughtful host!

Our 1 night winter stay in the cabin was magical! We appreciated the eco-friendly ash that the host August had spread on the steep parts of the driveway, path and stairs for traction and that the wood stove was already warm to greet us.
Our party of 6 enjoyed a winter hike (challenging), sledding right next to the cabin, and could have skated on the pond if we had stayed longer! Sitting around the campfire with moonlit snow and zero light or noise (other than cowbells from the trio of bovine wanderers!) was truly special.
Winter-weight sleeping bags and hot water bottles were enough to keep us warm thru the night (-15C outside). The rustic cabin was exactly as pictured in the listing and the composting toilet shed was bright and clean.
We would like to come back in the summertime to explore the creek and trails.
Hipcamper tip: pack dishtowels, headlamps, and indoor slippers.

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!

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.

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.
