Great check-in experience

Recent guests loved the smooth start to this stay.
Come rejuvenate at Whispering Woods, a peaceful 44 acre nature getaway. We offer a two-bedroom private walkout suite. King & queen size beds. Enjoy a 55” smart TV, Starlink satellite internet and Shaw Direct satellite TV. Includes a 3-pc bathroom, washer, dryer, kitchen, dining area & pool table. We offer a variety of breakfast foods to make your own in the privacy of your suite. Spend your day in the woods on the self-guided trails, relax in the pool and soak in the hot tub under the stars.

The space
Start relaxing as you drive through the gated entrance to the tranquil property. Make yourself comfortable in your private two-bedroom walkout suite in the lower level of our home. One bedroom has a king bed and the other a queen bed. Both bedrooms have legal egress windows. The living room has a 55” smart TV and a small desk. We also provide Starlink satellite internet and Shaw Direct satellite TV programing. There is also a recently renovated 3-piece bathroom with washer and dryer, a very well equipped kitchen with dining area and use of a BBQ. There is a large pool table room with a cabinet full of puzzles and board games.

Spend your day outside, walking in the woods on our many self-guided, well marked trails, or around the house. Enjoy the inground pool, play badminton or swing on the bench under Gramma maple. Sit on the front patio or the back deck. Have a bon fire. Children can enjoy the playhouse and swings. If you prefer a guided walk, the host would love to take you and tell you all about the trees, ponds and animals in the forest. We have many benches along the way to stop and listen to the birds and whispers of the trees. A scavenger hunt is available if you want a forest activity, or challenge yourself on the tree identification trail or explore the art trail or find the Gnome Grove. Then put on the luxurious bathrobes provided and go outside to soak in the hot tub under the stars with spotlights on the pine and sugar maple in the background on the forest edge.

Guest access
The property is gated. You will receive the gate code when you book.

Your suite has a private entrance at the back of the house, facing the majestic forest. There are 6 stone steps with a new handrailing going down to the suite. The walkways and steps are lit with solar lights overnight.

Guests have 24hr access to the hot tub. There are steps up to the deck where the hot tub is. Host window shades are covered throughout your stay so that you have privacy in the hot tub.

The inground pool is open May long weekend to early September. We heat the pool when the weather is warm enough overnight that we don't loose to much heat e.g. June & Sept weather is sometimes still too cool to heat the pool and weather dependant.

Other things to note
This is an ideal getaway for a quiet couple, a small quiet family or a quiet girls getaway.

This is NOT a suitable place for people who like to play loud music or drink and be noisy after 9pm.

Our place is not suitable for people with mobility challenges as we have stone steps to the suite,
and steps to the hot tub. And although all our trails are well groomed, they have significant tripping hazards because of our rough terrain including many rocks and roots.

We are in the heart of the Kawarthas and minutes from many attractions and activities. There are so many things to do in the area. You will find a listing of some of these things to do in the binder that I leave in the guest suite.

We have a friendly golden retriever/ duck toller mix that runs free around the house. A small to medium sized , well behaved dog is welcome and can be off leash on the property if they stay with you. Note there is often a porcupine in the forest.

We are located in the countryside, but the lovely village of Lakefield is just a 10 minute drive away. It has several restaurants, a 24 hour grocery store, two drug stores, beer store, liquor store and many cute stores on the main street.
