Overflowing with tall trees, wildlife, and a serene atmosphere, Scotch Forest is the perfect getaway for nature lovers. I usually feel at home surrounded by trees, but Scotch Forest felt almost mythical, like something from a folk tale.

The tree tent is every person's childhood dream—a sheltered hammock floating high in the trees! The site itself is far from Billy's house and allows for a lot of privacy. It is quite hidden in the woods, but the path to it is very well indicated and I felt safe knowing that people live nearby.

In addition to the picnic table and fire pit, there is an outdoor bathroom, water station, and a variety of add-ons in case you forgot to pack something—or in my case—are wanting to try the local coffee! Billy and Emmalie were extremely welcoming and helpful to all my needs. Billy showed me around and told me a little more about the history of the land. Billy is a woodworker and craftsman, and I found it really inspiring how much care he puts into sustaining the land and the trees. I also tried my hand at craftsmanship when I took a stained-glass workshop with Emmalie. I had never done anything like it, but Emmalie made it very fun and accessible. I loved having a keepsake from my trip to bring home.

Denison (very close to Danville), Québec is a wonderful place to visit. The site is a short walk to Denison Lake and a short drive to Burbank Pond, a bird and nature lover's paradise. Being deep in the woods, while also being a short distance to nearby houses, allowed me to totally disconnect while also feeling very safe. I full-heartedly recommend booking a trip there. Scotch Forest is something straight out of a storybook!
