Site 1 - Tipi Overnight Adventure
The tipi was nice except when it rained. We got wet. Next time I'll stay in the little cabin. But the 2 hour horse ride was wonderful. Missy was so very patient with us newbies and was so friendly. She really made our stay. The staff were all really friendly. Nice to go somewhere where you are made to feel at home. The experience with horses made us all feel at peace. Thank you f Missy for a wonderful experience 1

Great experience!
Overall the stay was Fantastic! The staff are very friendly and willing to help with any questions you may have. it was very peaceful and the views of the pastures along with the small wildlife were great. We also took the 2 hour trail tour ride which we highly recommend The staff are well trained with the horses along with easy to tell they have a real passion and love for their animals, even unexperienced riders will be having fun and feel comfortable by the end of this tour.

Site 2 - Tipi Overnight Adventure
Wonderful stay definitely recommend
We had a really wonderful stay. The staff were extremely helpful and accomodating. From collecting us from the train station and making sure we had everything we needed, to even taking us on a small trip to the nearby lake. We stayed in the tipi just next to the pond which was very picturesque. In the evening, we had the spirit horse talk. A lovely lady came and explained a lot about indigenous culture and the impact of the spirit horses, before we went out to greet the horses. It was a very genuine and insightful experience. We then were able to use the facilities to cook up a BBQ and a wood fire. The next day we went trail riding on the horses. It was a new and exciting experience for us. The horses were calm and fairly easy to handle for novices and there was plenty of instruction and encouragement. In the afternoon, we were taken to the lake very kindly by one of the staff members. As the weather was looking to turn stormy in the evening, we switched to the cabin which our hosts had offered us. They helped us move our bags and took us to the grocery store to grab more food too. There's a tonne more great things I could say about this experience but I will leave it there and state the obvious: we would definitely recommend this experience to others! Just make sure you bring some big spray 😉

Beautiful grounds & horses. Sleeping in a tipi was very comfortable. The hosts John & Terry were very considerate.The spiritual experience and knowledge shared was enlightening. Looking forward to going back.
