Our glampsite at Marmora Retreat is tucked into a peaceful corner of the property. We have three glamping domes on site, that look out over our alpaca field. Enjoy wide open skies, fresh country air, and uninterrupted views of pastureland.
Our two Boho-Luxe domes blends elevated comfort with the simplicity of outdoor living — plush beds, thoughtfully designed interiors, spa-inspired washrooms, and private decks made for slow mornings and star-filled evenings. Step outside and you’re immersed in the heart of the farm: a herd of gentle alpacas roaming nearby, horses in the distance, and open space that invites you to wander, pause, and breathe a little deeper.
For those drawn to a more classic, rustic glamping experience, our Sky-View Dome offers a simpler, wood-stove–forward stay that feels closer to traditional camping — just with a little more comfort. With panoramic views and a cozy cabin atmosphere, Sky-View invites guests to tend the fire, layer up on cooler evenings, and fully embrace the rhythm of the seasons. It’s ideal for those who appreciate the charm of a hands-on, back-to-nature escape while still enjoying the beauty of the alpaca fields and open countryside.
The alpaca field is more than a backdrop — it’s part of the experience. Guests often find themselves lingering by the fence with coffee in hand, watching the herd interact, graze, and curiously observe their human neighbours. It’s grounding, a little magical, and completely unhurried.
With wellness amenities like sauna and cold plunge, and acres of quiet countryside between Toronto and Ottawa, the glampsite at Marmora Retreat offers a refined nature escape — where comfort and connection live side by side.

Welcome to Backwoods Cabin Co. We have two unique glamping cabins available on our property located on the outskirts of Tweed and Madoc. The perfect spot to unwind, relax, and snuggle by the wood stove.
There is a loop trail that goes around the entire 11 acres of land. There are markers along the trail so you know the boundaries of the area
My family and I live on the property, we are here if you need anything urgently. We do spend a lot of time outside so the odd time you might hear our kids playing. We do have 2 VERY friendly dogs named Copper and Chief who might bark at you when you pull into the driveway but are on an electric fence so cannot get back to the cabin. We also have an outdoor cat named Wessie that may come and say hello.
Follow us @backwoodscabinco
*** PLEASE NOTE: THIS CABIN IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WOODS SO THERE WILL BE BUGS IN THE APPROPRIATE SEASONS (SPRINGTIME BLACK FLIES AND MOSQUITOS, SUMMERTIME MOSQUITOS AND DEER FLIES, FALL SOMETIMES MOSQUITOS) ***

Fifthwind farm is located high on a hilltop in Northumberland county. Our farm is only 10 minutes north of Cobourg yet feels tranquil and remote. The view is spectacular…on a clear day New York State is visible.
Our Bunkie is fully insulated and cozy on cold winter nights. The Northumberland Forest is quite close and it offers many cross-country ski trails.
Because of the cold weather, our outdoor shower it’s not operable during the winter months. The Bunkie does not have running water, but water is provided, and the sink can still be used.
There is a large bonfire area on our farm, (a little bit away from the Bunkie) also a play area for kids including zip line, boat structure, sand box, swing, above ground pool and trampoline; gorgeous circular organic garden with seating area and a small orchard. The garden and orchard provides many of the flowers, herbs and berries used to create skincare products. www.purejoybotanicals.ca. At Fifthwind we are also dedicated to developing and showcasing natural building techniques including straw bale and compressed earth blocks. www.fifthwind.ca

My wife and I have been winter camping many times and this was our favorite cabin rental ever! It has been a great getaway and adventure for us and our dogs.
We arrived with alot of snow and were planning to hike. Thanks to the hosts as they have snowshoes available at the cabin! We had a blast in the trails.
The cabin's stove was perfect, kept it cozy and warm throughout the weekend.
The well water with a hand pump was an added surprise and let me tell you how good that water is! We were both talking about it all weekend.
Hosts were amazing, had fire going for when we arrived, took us to the cabin and after that it was just us.
Perfect 10/10 for us as this is exactly how we like to camp. Will be back for sure.

We had an absolutely amazing weekend here, and Vanessa provided everything we could possibly need.
The wood stove was easy to maintain and keep burning, and the locale was quiet and so gorgeous. We loved coming back from a day of activities to watch old movies on vhs.
We can’t wait to come back and spend more time here!
Thanks!!

This was our 2nd time at Riverbend Grayotter cabin. We wanted to be in a calm, natural, grounded and magical place to Thank 2025 for the valuable lessons, leaving behind what needs to be left behind, what to carry forward and to set New intentions for 2026.
No Better Place than Riverbend!
Mother Nature greeted us generously offering every shade of her weather; freezing rain, a sunny morning that ended with an afternoon blizzard, snow crunched walks on trails and around the flowing river with ice formations, days with big fluffy snowflakes and outdoor fires under starry skies with a luminous moon. Maise(our dog) also enjoyed being free to roam and explore the wintery weather. Grayotter Cabin protected us from the elements and we stayed warm and cozy by the wood stove. There was plenty of fire wood and lots of snow to melt for washing dishes.
Riverbend and the wonders of Mother Naure treated us to a Winter Wonderland! We would definitely come again in the winter!
It was another amazing and magical adventure at Riverbend Grayotter Cabin.
We got to meet Katrina and Graham which was an added bonus to our trip!

Jacks Cabin was a perfect cozy cottage in the woods. Beautiful property and plenty of classic board games to play by fire light. The wood stove kept up very warm throughout the night.
The only con is the outhouse has a window but no curtain. Its a small critique but worth mentioning.
We greatly enjoyed our stay and would recommend anyone looking to get away for a quiet weekend check out this property.
