Tipi Overnight Adventure

John was an amazing host. Even though we arrived late, he patiently waited to show us around the campsite, started a campfire for us and even gave us a more comprehensive tour the next day.

The horses, other animals and farm overall were incredible and the tipi was a unique experience which we enjoyed.

The tipi was very comfortable.

Would definitely recommend it to others.

My family had an amazing experience and we can't wait to return. Terry and John were phenomenal hosts. When my daughter couldn't sit still Terry had her dancing, completing crafts and frog catching. John had her engaged with Metis culture by telling her stories and traditional games. David was a wonderful guide to Indigenous culture and traditions. And, meeting the Ojibiwe Spirit Horses was a dream come true. It is hard to write a review that expresses the beauty of this place and the people. You just have to go and see for yourself!

It was a great one of a kind experience. We. Celebrated our one year anniversary there. The overnight stay in the tipi was amazing and like nothing I’ve ever done before. Definitely recommend the spirit horses. The new 3 week colt was so adorable. Loved horseback riding on the trails and all the farm animals. Everyone was so kind and accommodating. Definitely can’t wait to go back soon.

This is a really unique spot. TJ Stables are doing some amazing things for the endangered Ojibway Spirit Horses and the sharing of Indigenous knowledge. My husband and I stayed with my sister and her friend inside of the cabin.
Terry and John went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. We originally planned to stay in the Tipi but it was very wet outside (mix of snow/rain) so Terry gave us the option to stay in the cabin where we would stay dry. Terry and John payed for our dinner out in town our first night since it was too wet to cook anything outside. They gave us a ton of warm blankets and had a heater going in the cabin to keep us warm. My husband is really interested in hunting and the farm life so this trip was a dream come true for him. He got to spend his morning chatting with John while he skinned a Buck he shot the day before. The girls and I learned how to make coffee over the fire and we were very proud of ourselves. David went above and beyond as he led us through the Spirit Horse Encounter which was truly a beautiful and eye-opening experience. Terry gave us some venison to cook over the fire for our last night and sent us home with a few more pieces. This trip nourished our souls- a combination of adventure, rest and education. Highly recommend checking this place out!

I can never explain how wonderful it is here! My son and I were treated like family! David was absolutely amazing and made such a positive impact on my son. We are actually booking again for this weekend. It was heaven on earth. If you want to go to the best hipcamp experience I highly recommend you book here.

When we arrived, John picked us up in his golf cart and gave us a great tour of the farm. John showed us how tipis are built, and how they functioned. It was an amazing experience and we certainly learnt a lot. The tipi was very comfortable, and John set us up a campfire which burnt all night. I recommend this stay to anybody looking for a peaceful getaway! Would definitely come back! Thank you John!

This was an incredible experience and one that will live long in the memory.

Our children especially just loved every moment of our stay and want to make this an annual trip! They loved feeding the animals and exploring the farm including driving the golf cart!

Terry and John were so kind and welcoming and couldn’t do enough to make us feel at home.

Getting to meet the spirit horses was a unique experience and a really special part of the trip too.

I couldn’t recommend a stay here enough to families wanting a unique, memorable stay with truly warm and welcoming hosts. Thank you Terry and John!

Howdy William and Family; John and I are still talking about your amazing family and how involved both your children were in anything we exposed them to. You are doing a fine job raising your kids. We are delighted they will be reminding you to come again in the future. Experiences with guests like your family encourages us to continue to offer this unique opportunity.

Where do I start. This is a healing place. Terry and John are extraordinary people, doing extraordinary things in their community and beyond. You can see their passion on throughout their property, their staff and them as a beautiful couple.
I was the FIRST TO STAY IN THEIR COWBOY BUNKIE which was such a beautiful little space that made me feel right at home. It's tucked away at the back of their property, for just the right amount of privacy and rustic-vibe. Specially when you add on a trail ride! Would highly recommend, my ride leader Kylie was so perfect, knowledgable and enthusiastic!
My 2nd night I was honoured to received a medicine walk as well as a SPIRIT HORSE ENCOUNTER which I feel could soothe anyone's soul. The tipi is beautiful and it was very fun to learn how the structure is made.
This is a special place that words cannot describe.....you'll just have to visit to be able to understand it's rejuvenating energy.

Thank you Terry and John (and team) for making me feel so comfortable, safe, cared for and for making me feel like apart of your family! Hope to see you in the future.

My friends and I stayed over at TJ's for 1 night in a Tipi! Terry and John were extremely friendly hosts, and were there to help accomodate us throughout the trip, from arrival till the end! It was a one-of-a-kind, quaint expereince, and I would definitely come back for more another time!
