Weekend Trip to Bootsie's
Absolutely loved our stay! The camp had all the basic necessities for off grid, with perfect layout and warm decor. The land and trails were so fun to explore. Snowshoeing and winter bonfire were great - peaceful nature retreat at its best. Dawn and Terry were very much great hosts, with directions and explanations at the start, even lending us a sled for our unrequired heavy packs, as well as letting us know to reach out anytime if anything more needed. No need for that, the cabin already had all we needed for a weekend stay, along with special touches. The games and puzzles were a great addition too! Thanks so much for sharing your piece of paradise!!

We had a great two night stay at the Owl's Nest cabin. Helmut answered all of our questions before we left and transported us to the cabin to show us around the cabin and property. Cabin is secluded and off-grid. Our dog was not a fan of the steep stairs to the loft. Don't forget to bring your orange vest and remember to check for ticks. Highly recommend for those looking for a quiet getaway.

We absolutely loved our stay at Owl’s Nest! Helmut treated you like family, sharing his experiences tending the forest and the cabin that he built. If you’re looking for a place to get off-grid, connect with nature, and be able to explore the many trails just outside your door, this is the place! We especially appreciated how the land was private, so that we could let our pup explore without worrying about running into any other dog owners. It was a great to share this cabin and we will certainly be coming back!

We surprised my parents with a stay at Bootsie Back 40 Cabin for their 40th anniversary, and it was absolutely perfect! The hosts went above and beyond with every detail. The cabin itself is so cozy and welcoming, surrounded by stunning fall colors that made the whole experience magical.
My parents loved the peace and quiet — they spent their mornings sipping tea while listening to the birds sing. The hosts were wonderfully friendly and even took photos of my parents for me, which was such a thoughtful touch. They also got to visit the farm animals (including two emus!), which they absolutely adored.
Thank you for helping me give my parents such a memorable and heartfelt experience. This will be a trip they’ll cherish forever!

Great little spot. The wood stove made it very cozy and we had enough power for the water, lights and coffee in the morning. It was great having a camping experience while not having to take down tents in the morning. Recommend it if you're in the area.

Charlene was the most incredible host! She was so kind, approachable, and informative. She texted us to find out our arrival time so that she could give us a tour of the property when we arrived—it was such a treat to meet all of the critters! She even moved our trailer back into the woods a bit so that we could have privacy and enjoy the pond. The trailer itself is very comfortable, with a toilet, sink, shower, fridge, and table with sitting room.

Helmut was so nice, and his cabin was exceptional. We were nested into the forrest, cut from the rest of the world. The cabin has everything you need, including a pump and head shower, perfect for a quick wash. I would definitely recommend!

Weekend Trip to Beach and Forest
Besides being the cabin weve ever been to, this cabin is perfect to get away from it all. We really felt recharged and rested and able to reconnect with nature. We saw plenty of different birds, including a flock of Cedar Waxwings and Woodpeckers. The wild blackberries also make for a delicious treat while exploring the surroundings. The atmosphere inside the cabin, during day or night, compares to no other. It is a pleasure for the senses and its solid wood structure has hints Alpine Forest wilderness.
You can not go wrong booking the owl's nest.

Weekend Trip to Kavanagh Farm camping
Had a great weekend getaway!
We had a wonderful time staying in the Minnie this past weekend. The trailer was exactly as described; clean, comfortable, and a great alternative to tent camping. It made for an easy and relaxing outdoor experience.
One unexpected highlight was the friendly rooster who stopped by to hang out during the day, and we could hear sheep "bah-ing" in the distance, which added a touch of charm and comedy to the peaceful surroundings.
The location was perfect for stargazing by the fire, and the overall atmosphere was quiet and serene. The hosts were welcoming and helpful without being intrusive, which we really appreciated.
If you're looking to disconnect and enjoy a quiet escape without the distractions of city life, I definitely recommend this spot!

Weekend Trip to Beach and Forest
Beautiful location. Serene and perfect for dropping off the face of the planet for a moment. Birdsong was beautiful. You have everything you need at the cabin to function as a normal human. Just no wifi and low cell service, which is perfect. And I am assuming it might be a little stuffy upstairs on really hot days- I was afraid I'd be chilly at night but it was really the opposite- a little warm. (I went in early July) To get to the coastal area from here, it's about a 25 minute walk down a dirt road- thought that was notable because I was worried about ticks but the path/road isn't too grassy or anything. If you go on the trails though, I'm sure the bugs and ticks might be more of a concern so might need boots/ clothing to cover up. The coast is along a main road and is mostly rocky so make sure to go out during low tide. Bring bug spray! The mosquitos are no joke. Thanks Helmut for creating this space for others to be able to get away from it all! 10/10 recommend- just be prepared for the elements.
