Welcome and thank you for your interest in Forest Time Retreat. We offer an ideal location for those seeking a peaceful and nature based get-away. Stay in a Rustic Bunkie situated a distance from the road surrounded by trees and walking trails over 60 acres. The bunkie features a queen mattress, 4 windows and if desired, the mattress can be rolled up to accommodate a centre table for card playing. There is no hydro, indoor water or heat in the bunkie.
Outdoor amenities include: propane barbeque, firepit, countertop for food prep, cast iron frying pan and pot, plates, bowls, mugs, and flatware. A sink is on site for dishwashing and hygiene using non-potable water which we provide. A pit outhouse is available; sorry, no shower yet. Bring your own linens, pillows, sleeping bag and water for drinking. Since you'll be in a nature environment, bug spray is a good idea. Be mindful of identifying poison ivy too.
The grounds are an excellent location for walking, photography, writing, drawing, painting, forest bathing, meditation or just to chillax.

The outdoor kitchen offers a propane BBQ, woodburning cookstove alongside a counter and sink for easy cleanup. The Bunkie has no running water, hydro or heating, however, there will be a barrel of non-potable water available for cleanup and hygiene. A short walk gets you to a pit outhouse, which others have dubbed the whimsical name "Molly Potty."
Be sure to bring linen, pillows, sleeping bags and drinking water. Since you are in a nature environment, you might want to bring bug spray and be able to identify poison ivy.
