Weekend Trip to Lakefront Glamping Retreat

The view, the crystal clear water and the setup was perfect. The raised dock with the sunrise view was an added bonus. True glamping, everything you needed was provided and thought of already. Our new regular spot that we hope to come back to many times.

Weekend Trip to Lakefront Glamping Retreat

This was our second time enjoying Monique’s beautiful property. Cool nights and sunny mornings made for some amazing views of mist swirling on the lake while sipping morning coffee. The crystal clear lakes were still warm enough for swimming and small enough to explore by kayak in an afternoon. Lots of little thoughtful touches everywhere we looked. Thank you for another wonderful fall getaway!

3 nights at Hidden Gem on Lorwell Lake

This was our 2nd time coming to Iris's property. We've agreed this will be an annual trip for us. Iris is so welcoming and kind. We love getting to chit chat with her during our stay. Her new dog Thunder was an absolute joy to be around. We were lucky to see Sterling again this year as well. You really don't need for much when you stay here. Trailer is very well equipped with the things you'll need to cook meals. Lorwell lake is stunning! Very clear clean water, great for swimming and kayaking. We absolutely love staying here!

Weekend Trip to The Cabin - Cozy Rustic Retreat

We stayed in cabin 2 for one night. Kris was very welcoming when we arrived and was very helpful with showing us everything we needed to know. There was a fire ban but we still enjoyed the peace and quiet time. The cabin was very clean and the bed was comfortable. We definitely enjoyed our moms night away in this little place of heaven. Thank you Dan and Chris.

6 nights at Wildwood Nature Escape

My partner and I had an awesome time glamping for a week in the starlight dome/yurt. Any critiques/improvements that we might have seem to be things that are already being addressed in the ongoing construction that appears to be in the final finishing stages. The host is friendly and accommodating, and she can always be found on the grounds in case campers have any questions or are in need of assistance. Our bed was comfortable and our grill was so easy to use! Floating on the coulonge river was a highlight. We'll be back with friends!

Please return these as you found them after each use. They are shared with the guests at the house. It is a natural shoreline at the bunkie, with a sandy bottom — pretty good swimming, actually!
