Welcome to Forest & Farm Wilderness Retreat, our 32-acre homestead tucked into the Near-North Ontario woods. Here, meadows are alive with pollinators, trails wind through a mixed forest, and the sound of our forest waterfall invites you to slow down and reconnect with the Land. Our property offers a handful of unique rustic stays, each with its own charm. Whether you choose a cozy tent trailer set the bush, or one of our traditional tent sites, each spot comes with access to a fire pit, trails and the peace of the Forest. This is a place well-suited for those who love a blend of small farm/homestead life and wilderness quiet. You might meet our sheep, ducks, chickens, or rabbits, or spot deer or wild turkeys in the Forest. The many gardens and greenhouses are always changing with the seasons, and we’re happy to provide tours of our farm to visitors during their stay. THINGS TO DO HERE: Wander forest trails to the waterfall and other quiet sitting spots Watch the dark night sky from your fire pit Enjoy a campfire dinner add-on, provided by your hosts Engage your kids in Nature-based learning led by a Forest School Practitioner Try a guided tour, Forest Therapy session, or seasonal foraging walk Additional skills-based workshops are available Or simply enjoy time together or alone, unplugged and unrushed. Composting Outhouse Facilities are simple & eco-friendly, and a short walk from all of our stays Nearby, you’ll find Restoule Provincial Park, home to an incredible lookout point that’s especially breathtaking in the fall, and Wolfe Lake, with its quiet, uncrowded beach and swimming/kayaking spot. The town of Powassan offers a grocery store, LCBO, Home Hardware, and a charming Saturday market. We’re a mere 30-45 minutes from iconic attractions like the Screaming Heads in Burk’s Falls and the unique Crystal Caves in South River. In the summer months, take a short walk down the road to the Commanda Museum, where you can sip a milkshake and enjoy a tour of this historic site. And just 45 minutes away, North Bay offers many restaurants, an additional museum, boating & fishing on Lake Nipissing, and stunning views of the sunset from its shore. Come any time of the year for a night, a weekend, or longer, and let the forest reset your pace.

Forest Hideaway - Tent Trailer Stay
We loved camping on Jen’s land! The directions were clear, the trailer was very clean, cozy, and very comfortable. My kids loved seeing the farm animals and we all loved hiking to the waterfall and seeing the beautiful views of nature. The bonfire with marshmallow roasting was a highlight too!
