Collin’s Wood is a very special place indeed. The land was bought by my grandfather years ago when he moved to Canada from England and wanted to chase his log cabin dream. Our main cabin my family built from trees on the land, entirely by hand. We have photos of the trees being cut and the bark being peeled off. Since then, we’ve made many changes out there, we now have a guest cabin that used to be a Teacheridge (back when teachers would live in a one room building beside the school), eventually it was turned into a cafe and now it sits on our land as a guest cabin. This place is so magical. With a quarter section of land I grew up running through the forest with my friends and learning about what the land has to offer. My parents have spent every spare weekend out there making this paradise into what it is today. All the buildings were created by my family through labour and love. We’ve hosted weddings, and family reunions. We hope you appreciate how special this place is. Come see for yourself!

Weekend Trip to Collinswood Retreat
We had the best time staying here! My husband, my cat, and I loved every minute. The treehouse is so charming and cozy, and it's even cuter in person. You can tell a lot of thought went into all the little details—they really make the place feel special.
It was so peaceful and relaxing, exactly what we were looking for. We'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique and cozy getaway! Thank you so much Geri & Pat for being great hosts! 😊

Collinswood is a top notch hip camp site. I stayed at the happy hut which worked perfectly as a solo traveler with my dog. Geri and Oat are exceptional hosts with the care to detail and designing a robust retreat.

Weekend Trip to Collinswood Retreat
The yurt was a perfect mix of camping and glamping. I needed a weekend away that didn’t require all the work that usually goes with it and this was exactly that. Geri and Pat provided wood and the site had a bbq, plates, cutlery, some pots and pans, and a battery to charge my phone, and the yurt was so comfortable. My dogs and I got to explore the network of trails on the beautiful property and I loved that the yurt was secluded in the forest. I brought my own camping chair just for my own comfort but there are chairs and a picnic table. The outhouse was clean and didn’t smell. A tornado touched down north of the property (near Rocky Mountain House) and they made sure to message me to let me know that that was happening and that I could shelter with them if I need to. Just amazing hosts! I will be coming back!

The yurt was perfect for a couples weekend getaway! The property was an impressive collection of cool places to stay, and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. With a few lakes and charming small towns nearby, this is the perfect place to go if you’re not afraid of a little deet.

We had a wonderful weekend stay at Hidden Springs, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. The property is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and the perfect place to relax and unwind while still offering plenty of activities for the whole family.
Barbara is an exceptional host who truly goes above and beyond to make her guests feel welcome. She thought of every little detail to ensure we had a comfortable stay. When the mosquitoes became active in the evening, she proactively provided mosquito coils, and knowing we wanted to watch the World Cup, she even offered us her personal laptop so we wouldn’t miss the match. Her kindness, generosity, and genuine care for her guests made our stay even more memorable.
A special mention goes to her friendly dog, Fox, who quickly became a favorite with our kids. Fox spent time playing with them, and they absolutely loved every moment. The trampoline was another huge hit, keeping the kids entertained for hours.
One of the highlights of our stay was the sauna experience. It was incredibly relaxing and the perfect way to end the day. If you’re planning to stay at Hidden Springs, I highly recommend booking the sauna—it is absolutely worth it and adds a special touch to the overall experience.
We left Hidden Springs feeling refreshed and already talking about coming back. Thank you, Barbara, for your outstanding hospitality and for creating such a warm, welcoming place for families to enjoy. We highly recommend Hidden Springs.

1 night at Collinswood Retreat
What a beautiful relaxing spot!! The Happy Hut was the perfect size for me as a solo traveler and the bed was super comfortable. The outdoor bath was amazing, it took a while to fill to a comfortable level but that’s expected! Bathing in nature is a must! The bathroom was close by and very welcoming for an outdoor bathroom. No harsh smells and very clean.
The Happy Hut wasn’t as private as I thought however this actually worked out for me in the end, as a solo female traveler it was comforting to know I wasn’t completely isolated in the woods! Very much enjoyed my relaxed evening sitting by a fire and soaking up nature.

My experience at the yurt was exceptional. It was the perfect blend of camping and amenities. The barbecue, utensils, provided firewood (and axe), along with the roominess of the Yurt made for a carefree comfortable. The yurt is in a secluded clearing in the wood so you feel like there is nobody else around yet the area has a lot of trails in case you need to walk somewhere. The hosts were very friendly and I would definitely recommend this rental.

We absolutely loved camping here. Pat and Geri were so lovely and welcoming. On our first night we booked another weekend coming up. It’s our new favourite spot.
We spent a lot of time walking some of the trails and taking in nature.
They were also kind enough to lend us a hand when our car didn’t start as we were leaving. 10/10!

4 nights at Collinswood Retreat
This was the best possible place to spend a rainy long weekend with my dogs! Spent hours wandering the trails right there on the property and retreated back to the cozy cabin when the rain picked up. Loved sitting under the covered deck with a book and seeing the sunrise over the river valley, and the outdoor shower had an excellent view (and hot water). Made good use of the sauna and THOROUGHLY enjoyed my massage (do it, trust me!). The cabin was adorable, bed was very comfortable, and the blackout curtains meant I was able to sleep in past sunrise.

Weekend Trip to Hidden Springs Retreat & Guesthouse
My boyfriend and I had a very last minute booking but Barb was very kind and accommodating. We were lucky enough to have the whole space to ourselves well except for Barb’s dog, Fox, who is just the most affectionate and behaved companion out there. I would recommend booking the sauna it was very relaxing and for 2hrs it is quite worth the price, Barb even offered to let us shower in her house after if we wanted. The beds were very comfortable and provided plenty of warmth during the night. Overall it is a great site to book with lots of field and plenty of things to do.

Weekend Trip to Collinswood Retreat
This is my second time staying at Collinswood, and a second glowing review of their property. The forest yurt is incredibly beautiful and well themed, and the feeling of seclusion is a lot of fun! It’s like the outside world is a completely separate planet. Geri and Pat put in a ton of work to make this place a wonderful time and it shows in every little bit of their sites, from the inclusion of board games to the cute themed slippers in the yurt. I’m already thinking about my next visit, and we just got home! If you’re looking for a fun weekend out under the stars for you and a few others, I don’t think there’s a better place to stay than here.

This place is absolutely incredible! I’m thrilled I discovered it, though I kind of wish I could keep it a secret! Traveling solo, I felt completely safe and found the atmosphere so relaxing. I had one of the best night’s sleep ever in the treehouse. The outdoor bathtub was a standout feature—such a unique experience! The owner was incredibly accommodating, giving me a tour of the property and being available for any questions during my stay. The tea and freshly baked cookies were a delightful touch! I can’t wait to return!

Weekend Trip to Hidden Springs Retreat & Guesthouse
Barb, the Host, made us feel so very welcome. We felt a real connection to her, even though we did not interact overly much.
Fox, one of her dogs, will make you feel even more welcome. So well behaved and mildly loving.
Our nights were 0 to -2 Celsius, yet the blankets and tent were wildly cozy and secure. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back.
A few things to know. Make sure you bring everything you need to get by. We were the first visitors of the year, so I suspect there may be some great to have amenities in later weeks. Ensure you bring a stove, all food you need, and so on.
Barb provides firewood and it’s incredibly dry and burns wonderfully. So that all good. Be forewarned that there is no shower (but she welcomed us to shower in her home) or running water (again, she had that on hand I’d needed), and it can get damned cold (cannot overstate how warm and comfy the beds were and slept like a baby in the cold) but a blessing in the warmth of the bedding.
Very reasonable pricing. I encourage you to give it a go. We definitely will visit Barb again, even if to just say hi because she is that kinda person.

Weekend Trip to Collinswood Retreat
May long weekend is always a big unknown with weather. That's why my friends and I always book a cabin of some kind for that weekend. We had chilly winds, but I was nice and snug in The Happy Hut. another friend stayed in the renovated bus, and one brought her camper. The accommodations were great. The compostable toilet for my use was the best dry toilet ever! it brought a new meaning to the throne Room. It was amazing! hahaha. There were so many eccentric and quirky features on the property. It was great! Loved my view of the valley for my morning coffee. The shower in the old silo was fabulous. Pat (Geri was away) was an amazing host. Friendly, accommodating and helpful. He was often accompanied by his friendly four-legged companion Piper. It was a perfect property for a getaway from the city. Loved hearing nothing but songbirds singing and the occasional coyote off in the distance. We will be back. Want to try the treehouse and The Rosebud Cafe. Highly recommend Collinswood Retreat.
