Our Philosophy

Our primary focus is to share with our guests a sample of the sights, sounds,

tastes and sensations that make the Ottawa Valley a unique place – one with

many facets worth exploring.

​

Located an hour west of the Nation's Capital, the Ottawa River flows through an

island paradise of spectacular scenery, world class Whitewater, classic nature walks

and abundant wildlife. It's the kind of place you can come back year after year.

For us, we never left, and we arrived almost 50 years ago.
Where else can you raft, kayak, hike and bike on the same day?

On that same day you can see deer, bear, turkey, fox and if you're looking

up and lucky, an eagle.

For decades we have been sharing our wild side but with our retreats, more of our mild side. Our women’s retreat to nature is an ideal place to relax and refresh, to try new things and experience old favorites, share with friends and take time for yourself, soak up the natural beauty and radiate it back. In short, it’s a place to explore both inner and outer landscapes and see how seamlessly they stitch together into an integrated tapestry.

We hope that you’ll come join the fun on one of our upcoming retreats on the Ottawa!
