Forest Loft
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Freija is such a lovely and magical place! Our 6 year old daughter wanted to spend the entire time in the loft playing with everything she could find. The kitchen was also very well stocked. Thank you so much for having us.

We had a great time at the Freija loft – what a unique place to stay in a beautiful nature reserve! It was so nice to have trails on our doorstep – our dog absolutely loved it. A nice quiet retreat in the forest. Thanks for having us!

We loved our 3 days at the Freija Forest Loft. It was so nice to get away from the city — especially during COVID. It was wonderful taking the little forest walk down to the crystal clear private ponds. The hosts were great and responded to to any of our questions right away. We really enjoyed all the games (basketball, darts, etc…)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Beautiful place and property. We went with two small children during a cold weekend in January, and had a fantastic time. The hosts were very communicative and quick to respond. There were lots of fun activities and we were never bored! The book shop and pie shop in Williamsford were totally worth seeing. My kids especially loved the basketball net and tricycle inside the loft. My Daughter loved drawing pictures at the table, and we had a quite a few family games of Crokinole. Special thanks to the hosts for a much-needed getaway. Hopefully we can make it back there again!

This spot is lovely. We stayed for a short period but it felt like a special getaway because of the uniqueness of the barn loft and the forest that surrounds it. The home has everything you need to enjoy time away from the city. Really recommend this place. We had a lot of fun .

Wow. Without a doubt the most authentic, special and thoughtful place we’ve ever stayed. Valentine and Ghazal have curated such a beautiful, considerate and unique location. All of the little touches make this place magic. From the fire lighting, music on and personal note with honey from the garden when we arrived to the incredible wonders of each corner of the loft – we were in awe. That’s not even getting started on the beauty of the land all around and all the efforts they’ve made to respect and educate at the same time. Freija was a dream stay. What a treat getting to explore and experience this haven. If you’re considering – don’t hesitate to book. Worth it and more 😊
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is such a warm, magical place. Its so cozy and there’s all these little touches like Valentine and Ghazal think of everything. The fire pit and the pond and the forest all made this a very special weekend, we made tons of happy memories! Thank you for such a memorable getaway!

Highly recommend this little oasis. We wanted a trip out of the city to decompress and recharge. This was more than we could ever have wished for. Valentine was so sweet. What a magical place. Cannot wait to come back.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This was a short trip for my family and oh my! Best best getaway in such a short distance. Our family of 4 and our pup had a great time and valentine was amazing and helpful everytime we needed anything. We cannot wait to book it again for summer.

Amazingly unique get-away spot. Our favorite place to hangout was by the dock in the pond. nice breeze, amazing view, turtles/fish to watch and fun to paddle around. Looking at the stary night was beautiful and hanging out with a great fire made for perfect unplugged time. I’ll be back 🙂

We loved our stay at the loft at Freija. The loft was so welcoming as soon as we arrived and after a long day of travelling we completely felt relaxed. The loft has beautiful lights all throughout making it feel extra cozy. We enjoyed going down by the pond and canoeing and swimming. The pond was so clear you could see all the fish and turtles. The old growth hike is also breathtaking and so peaceful. You can hear the very tall trees sway in the wind back and forth while hiking. In the evenings we liked to sit by the fire and look at the stars in awe of the beauty and how many there are! I can’t wait to visit again. I hope to return in the fall and see all the beautiful colours on the property.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fantastic fall getaway. Lovely trails in the area to explore and fun family accommodation. Very thoughtful touches such as games and the basketball hoop and even bikes. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and our hosts were very responsive and helpful.
Camping
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Highly recommend this campsite if you’ve never gone camping before!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Campsite is in an awesome forest meadow. Lots of wildflowers surrounded by tall Maples. At night the forest is full of lightning bugs and is great for stargazing. Feels very surreal.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you want secluded camping, this is the best. Nice land for pitching tents with the nearby ponds for swimming. The included amenities make for nice touches that make camping more pleasant. I would highly recommend this as a camp site. It’s well worth the money.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
An oasis not too far from the city. Platform for your tent, an outdoor sink, separate bbq and fire-pit engulfed by nature.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This was my first time camping and it was a blast. Never thought id enjoy it as much as I did.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Freija is a beautiful space. The camp site has everything you’d need and more. The forest is magical. We can’t wait to go back!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The place is truly amazing! You can expect a huge and wild forest, two beautiful lakes to swim and enjoy nature, a perfect camping site with everything you need. You want to take time out of the city and enjoy nature: this is a perfect match!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great place for people who wants to be in the wilderness.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
One of the best camping experiences we’ve ever had. The space is open and beautiful, with lush green forest surrounding you. Great paths to explore on and two amazing ponds to cool off in, thanks for such a great stay!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Wonderfully secluded and a perfect place to relax or explore… We saw a vast array of birds, a deer, a rabbit, a lot of frogs and toads, and many other little creatures during our 2 day stay.

This is such a special experience and place. It was wonderful to spend a lovely afternoon on the meadow and by the pond with some hardworking girls and Valentine.

I don’t usually write reviews and i don’t know where to start. I surprised my girlfriend with this tour and it was just an amazing experience. She couldn’t stop being so thankful and amazed. The tour as amazing, the picnic was amazing and most of all valentine and Ghazal were fabulous! Thank you so much for the amazing day!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
One of the must have experience in Owen Sound. It is great to know the local beekeeping community.

Valentine’s knowledge and experience with the bees was excellent. My wife and I interacted with the hives looking at the queen and holding the sections in the hive with all the bees all over them. It was amazing.
