The Nest Forest Retreat

4. The Nest Forest Retreat

71km from Sault Ste. Marie · 1 site · Lodging · Thessalon, ON
Tucked into a quiet, forested corner of Northern Skies Resort, The Nest is a canvas bell tent hidden away in a secluded wooded glen within a short walk to a beautiful, quiet spring fed and crystal clear large lake. Immerse yourself in nature while indulging in special touches that make you feel comfortable and well cared for. The Nest includes a queen bed with luxury linens, towels and robes; outdoor shower with hot water; outdoor kitchen with electricity, propane cooktop, fridge and sink with hot and cold running water; bbq and private campfire pit; and vertical log outhouse. Resort amenities available to all guests include a wood fired sauna, sand beach, canoes, kayaks, hiking, and fishing. At night, star gazing is unparalleled and the northern lights can sometimes be seen. You are welcome to stop by our Mini Makers Market onsite to purchase locally made art, food items and other goods. The Nest is located in Algoma Country's famous Mississaugi Valley, named after the wild and winding river that provides a stunning scenic drive at any time of year that starts just "up the road" - we highly recommend packing a picnic and taking a day to explore this hidden gem!
