Property Description

Just a 14 minute drive from the brink of Niagara Falls! Our "hoblet" has the look of a woodsy cabin, but is spacious and modern. 600 sq. feet in total with a large studio living room, separate bedroom and a bathroom with a built in 2 seater far infrared sauna. Outside is viewed through 5 sets of double glass patio doors & 3 skylights.Your retreat includes breakfast, via a lightly stocked kitchen and all the ammenities. The green living roof is very special. Your "yard" is a hardwood forest with a small stream running through. Beautifully landscaped out in the country yet only 15 minutes from the brink of the falls with emphasis on nature and good energy. On site and for your viewing is our equine rescue, home to 4 donkeys, 1 mule, and 1 percheron. Your rental is completely private from the main house, has its own driveway with a delightful walk through the trees and past the "circle of elements", a great fire pit with boulders encompassing that space.

Wonderful walks through the forest, ponds, & stream all help to create a very special energy in and around the "cabin". Your host, Petra, has received the Ambassador of Tourism Award from the Canadian government during her eight years as a professional tour guide in Niagara Falls, now Petra spends her free time looking after the donkeys. Please see our website for more photos of the "space" and the surrounding area, we look forward to meeting you!

For our guests staying 2night or more, a wonderful one hour "Meet and Greet the Animlas" is included with your stay. Spend some one on one time with your favorite donkey. The emphasis is on nature here enjoy the views and the animals.

Donkey Sanctuary

Our "haven" is home to four donkeys, a white mule, an old Percheron horse named Norm(ous), 3 dogs and Sheldon the pot belly pig!

All have been rescued from one trauma or another; abuse, neglect, the meat man! They are a wonderful bunch of misfits. Their peace and energy is therapeutic.

To spend time with these creatures is truly special. We have strategically located the studio in close proximity to them for all to enjoy and watch their antics. (For those of you not comfortable with dogs, we ask your preference, and will keep them up with us if you prefer.)

Come and meet Homey and his magnificent ears. Squeeky is the little mini donkey, Munchy, the black one. Tyson you will recognize by his one ear missing an end and Buddy our white mule. You can't miss Norm, he is the gentle giant.

We receive no funding or assistance of any kind for their upkeep, they are our "family". We are most appreciative for folks choosing to stay at the hoblet as much of this revenue helps maintain the animals. The "boys" consume over nine hundred pounds of hay per week.

It is our mission to help spread awareness about donkeys, mules and all animals and continue helping however we can. Hear their stories and share their spirit. There is truly some great energy kicking around here!
