Relaxing stay with our dog
Review for 2 nights in "House of Pisces" tent (spoiler: we had an amazing time with our dog)
What We Brought:
-Drinking water: Listing said potable water available, but we're used to bringing our own
-Firewood: You can buy on-site, but we brought our own (extra dry). (we forgot to ask how the site's wood was stored)
-Portable BBQ/stove: We brought ours since it was likely to rain and couldn't guarantee fire
-Food and drinks: Plus everything needed for cooking
Pros:
-Great location: 30 minutes from Ottawa
-Beautiful view: "House of Pisces" has stunning morning views
-Well-equipped site: Includes a picnic table, lounge chairs, fire pit, foldable grill rack
-Spacious, waterproof tent: very roomy, chairs/side tables, extra blankets, and flashlights. Bed was fairly comfy. Stayed dry and comfortable despite 2-5mm of rain.
-Indoor washroom: Real toilet, sink, soap, and towel inside the main house.
-Sauna/spa: Private 2-hour access to a wood-burning sauna and cold plunge, plus tea and water in the gazeboâhighly recommended!
-Dog-friendly: tents are well-spaced for privacy, and host's dog was kept away (but she's lovely). Our dog's reactive though so we're grateful!
Cons:
-Parking: <5-min walk to tent, but hosts provide a wagon for moving gear- awesome
-Washroom distance: Pisces/Leo are a bit further from the main house than Libra
-COLD outdoor shower: we were told it would be, so the sauna makes up for it!
Overall, great glamp+spa experience, especially with our dog. Recommend!
