Renee & Randy your property is beautiful. We loved walking all your trails with our dogs. The thought you both put in to the little details like the dog library was so cute. The sunsets were gorgeous and we loved sitting on the floating dock every morning to drink our coffee. If anyone is looking for a get away weekend to disconnect this is the place to go!

Amazing experience. Me and my partner stayed for three days in early September and it was such a cozy and comfortable stay. Is clean private and perfect for people that love the outdoors. Indoor wood fire was a great way to stay warm and made for amazing ambiance. Jake made the experience super easy and I would go back in a heartbeat.

Weekend Trip to R&R Back Road Country Retreat

My partner and I took a long weekend and stayed at the cedar creek cabin site. Upon arrival we met with both randy and Renee, they welcomed us and showed us the way via atv. (We followed in our car) they led us through a river (only ankle drop at that spot) and over a smaller creek which our car had no issues doing. Upon entering our site, we were astounded at how large of an area our campsite was! It was huge! And everything was provided for us except our food, and extra firewood which we were able to buy as we needed. There were many trails we could explore, and along the main road, there were places you could leave your name, and a dog library (take a stick, leave a stick) We brought our almost 11 year old lab who loved every moment of it! We also brought our bird, who also loved being in a new location. The property is huge, the other campers were very friendly, and I have no complaints! The weather was cold at night, but we were told ahead of time to bring extra blankets which we did! The extra care that is put into this by randy and Renee, is outstanding! I totally recommend you to this place.

This place is a hidden gem! An off grid cabin with all of the comforts of home. Jake has thought of everything, hot water shower, wood burning stove, water coming from the tap, what more could you ask for! You even get lights at night. Can’t wait to go back!

Jake was a great host! He was friendly and showed us around the chalet when we first arrived. The chalet was very well maintained with all the basic amenities needed for glamping. The site was very private and the property was beautiful. We brought our dog along and he had the time of his life being able to be off leash the entire time. Highly recommend, we will be returning.

R&R was such a restful time ☺️ the pond is crystal clear, it was like looking into a whole other world as a rowed across the water. The bunkie is secure, clean and slightly bigger than I expected. Renee & Randy we're wonderful hosts and extremely happy to assist if needed! There wasn't any reception for me and the river crossing is something to inquire about if your vehicle is low riding. I can definitely see myself visiting again ☺️

The Cottage is really cozy. It has just the right mix of Off the Grid, with the modern amenities that are integral for comfort. The property is crisscrossed with some Fantastic Parklike trails. Jake is an amazing host, he has thought of everything that you would need for an enjoyable stay. Thank you, for a fantastic time, Jake.

I enjoyed my stay at Sunset Pond. Very private, quiet and relaxing. Sophie and I enjoyed walks on the trails daily and taking dips in the pond. This would be a wonderful site in the fall as I prefer cooler weather and unfortunately stayed this time in a cooker of a heat wave. I will look at coming back for a couple of days then. I also didn't notice until later that the balloons said Happy Birthday. I appreciate the thought Renee and Randy!

We had the best time here! Jake met us on arrival to show us a few things and was so kind in giving us from fresh garlic he had grown and some home made strawberry jam (which was incredible)! The chalet its self did not disappoint it was so well equipped and clean! So many times we have gone places and felt like they were cleaner when we left than upon arrival so this was amazing! The shower was 10/10 and a nice treat it worked perfectly. This chalet really has it all, peace and quiet, beautiful trails and views, comfy bed, space inside and dog friendly! Jake was so lovely and attentive and really makes you feel at home, you can tell the care he has for this space everywhere you look. We are already planning when we can come back up again as this will be a repeat spot we come to! Thanks for sharing your slice of heaven with us and the pups!

Weekend Trip to Grey Highlands Little Getaway

The camp site was very big with lots of space and flat land perfect for pitching tents. Trees border the perimeter to provide some privacy form homes nearby. Pretty quiet even with the nearby road, and the night sky was just beautiful to watch the stars. Fayth responded promptly and was very helpful. Would definitely recommend this spot. We had a great time

This was a perfect little getaway for us! Jake’s chalet is a wonderful off grid disconnect with some luxuries. We had a great time here not thinking about the daily headaches and just being able to explore the vast forests and stunning river! Jake was very accommodating with anything we needed and the chalet was set up with extras that saved us while cooking! We saw deer, woodpeckers etc. also fishing would be amazing here! Definitely would recommend this place.

Weekend Trip to Chapelwood Chalet

We had the perfect weekend at the Chalet! We came very late in the season - end of November. Jake made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed! There is so much to explore on the property and the hiking trails are very well marked. The chalet was equipped with everything we could have needed. Can’t wait to come back!
