THE BEST!
It was our first time Glamping and we were very skeptical about everything! Marilyn and Jim are hands down the best hosts ever! They thought about every little thing, honestly half the items we got from home was not even necessary, from towels to salt and cutlery and utensils everything was available! And the added bonus of having bbq and their tools! Jim started us the fire even though it was drizzling, such a sweet thing ❤️ Marilyn bought us some fresh eggs to share which was just so unexpected and not to mention delicious! We bought our large breed dog and omg, he loved every minute of the trip! Honestly i am out of words. The availability of hot water, cozy beds, electric outlets! Just fabulous! The privacy was too notch, the whole area was heavenly! Im so glad we got to meet the family pets, which was the highlight of the trip! Will definitely come again! Cannot wait!

Cozy trailer, best time, best host!
I love the experience of being out in the country but also enjoy creature comforts. I'm not a camper. Hicks Haven was perfect for me and my 11 yr old. It was fairly easy to find. As we drove in, our host Marilyn warmly greeted us. Parking is conveniently right beside the cosy trailer. The trailer has a really comfy bed, a closet, lots of drawers, flushing toilet, shower with hot water, small fridge, hot plate, plates utensils, coffee maker, pots, pans, basic spices, coffee and tea! There's a comfy couch to lounge on and read if it rains like it did on our last day, and still enjoy the view from it. We played some outdoor and indoor games that Marilyn has onsite. The property is serene and the view of the sky is unobstructed and *chef's kiss* for a sunset. There's a table and chairs beside the trailer that I sat at to watch the sunrise with some tea, as the birds sang. We drove 10 min to Port Burwell, walked the Provincial Park trail, had ice cream at the beach, had ice cream, and picked up a bottle of wine for myself. Marilyn and her husband, Jim, are so lovely. Thoughtful touches were everywhere - fresh picked flowers in the trailer, a bowl of fruit on the table, an extra quilt for chilly nights. Jim started a bonfire for us which was nice to sit around after watching the sunset. My usually reserved 11 yr old loved Marilyn instantly, and invited her that night to sit with us and for smores ❤️ Thank you! We had a great time. Feeling reset and relaxed.

We rented the Love shack on Marilyns property. First of all Marilyn is very friendly, accommodating and flexible when she can be. It is a beautiful and peaceful property with plenty to explore and enjoy When renting the trailer we had access to a nice new concrete patio with super comfy chairs and a BBQ that that I was delighted to use as I wasn't sure what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised at just how little we needed to bring. Marilyn thinks of everything. From making sure the potable water is ready for use, all the way down to having everything bagel seasoning for your morning treats. Everything was clean and cozy. We had a wonderful day and evening. She was generous enough to satisfy our urge to plant some chives at home by allowing us to take and replant some of hers. It was the cherry on top. Thabk you Marilyn and Jim. It was a pleasure. Hope to come back and visit again.
