Stay at Raven's Nest, enjoy relaxing outdoors by soaking up nature, walking barefoot on the mossy forest floor, meditating or practicing yoga. Read a book, explore, forage wild berries (when in season). Go hiking in the many parks nearby, kayaking, fishing or canoeing at one of the many lakes within 20 minutes. At night, play Board Games, hanging out at the Fire Pit & making Smores. Admire the picturesque sky, make wishes on falling stars. Take hot showers under the trees and stars at the Outdoor Nature Shower with hot water on demand (May - Mid Oct).

THINGS TO NOTE As is usual with rural areas, there are biting bugs (mosquitoes, blackflies etc.) at times but keeping the front door closed at all times will help keep them outside. All the windows and the door on our Cabin have bug screens and we also provide Bug Zappers for Guests to use during their visit. You will hear birds, squirrels, chipmunks, our chickens and our rooster, wild turkeys, wolves, coyotes, owls, bear, moose, ravens, bobcats and dogs. At times, you can hear chainsaws, tractors and generators but most of the time it is a quiet. Also, there is a train that goes by twice a day and sometimes small planes fly over when there is an event at the small airport in our town. Keep an eye out for moose, deer, bear, rabbits and wild turkeys that may suddenly jump out in the middle of the road while driving in the area. As well, we have 2 wild rabbits that like to hang out in our driveway, grouse and wild turkeys that visit.
