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. Due to invasive insects, please do not bring firewood - we have firewood on site. The grounds are an excellent location for walking, photography, writing, drawing, painting, forest bathing, meditation or just to chillax. For those looking for local attractions: Westben Theatre, Launch your fishing boat or kayak at Trent River Monument (9 km from site), Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge, Seymour Conservation Area (with a quarry for swimming), Dooher's Bakery, Empire Cheese, Church-Key Brewing, Fogorig Brewing and several food and restaurant establishments are available in Campbellford area. If you forgot to pack something, Giant Tiger, Dollarama, Stedman's, Sharpe's or No Frills may offer what you need. Only 13 km to Campbellford or 12 km to Havelock.Rustic Bunkie is a quaint shelter for two, located on a flat and easily accessible site. 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. Forest Time Retreat has many walking trails for you to enjoy at your leisure.

The hosts were welcoming and led me to the site. The cabin is fully furnished and has everything you need for cooking and making tea and coffee. Coffee and cups and paper dishes included. Also, bottled water. What stood out are the running facuets. One in outhouse. Two in kitchen. Yes with water. Tons of firewoods for the firepit. Night skies were clear. However, showers. The usual, portable shower or jugs of spring water will do.
