Boutique glamping in a peaceful cider forest in Ontario’s Rideau Lakes region, on the edge of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This spacious canvas tent features a queen pillow-top bed, en-suite bath with hot outdoor shower, eco toilet, solar power, BBQ, fire pit, and private deck.

Surrounded by wetlands and wildlife, it's perfect for couples or solo nature-lovers. Extras available: breakfast delivery, charcuterie, and more. Not ideal for guest with limited mobility due to forest path access.

The space
Yes, glamping really does mean camping in style!

This cozy, off-the-beaten-path escape blends outdoor adventure with modern comfort. Fall asleep to the sound of crickets, wake to birdsong, and take in serene views right outside your door.

Our luxury canvas tent is set on approximately 50 acres in a quiet rural setting, free from light and noise pollution, and overlooking protected wetlands. It sits on a raised platform with a private deck—perfect for your morning coffee or stargazing at night.

There’s a propane BBQ for easy outdoor meals, along with a cooler, cookware, dishes, and basic spices. We also provide drinking water, firewood, plush towels, and more, so packing is a breeze.

Travelling with kids or friends? We can add up to two extra beds (twin or cot) for an additional fee.

Pet-friendly and peaceful, the surrounding forest is ideal for short walks, bird watching, or simply relaxing in the hammock. It’s the kind of place where you unplug, unwind, and reconnect—with nature, with each other, and maybe even with yourself.
