Water Forest Retreat - Tree House Octagon & Hiker's Haven

This was well worth going on this this retreat! The owners of the property are the nicest people ever sharing this paradise that is so tranquil and peaceful. I celebrated my 58 th birthday here! I miss being there so much! Would love to go back as soon as possible.

My boyfriend surprised me with a night here, it was incredibly lovely. I was nervous at first because of the snow, but hanging out by the fire as the snow fell with the sun will forever be a core memory of mine. Everything was beautiful, you can really tell a lot of thought and effort was put in to ensure a comfortable stay. The hosts were so kind and wonderful to us. Bert helped clear the snow from our car, and Nancy gifted me a wonderful handmade soap. If anyone is considering staying, please do so. Lovely place and even lovelier people. I’m already planning on saving up for a weekend there during the warmer season!

Headed to the Water Forest Retreat I was a little sceptical. We had always seen Norwich as a run down city. Then we are on a suburban street as it says we are getting closer. Are we going to be in someone's backyard? The road ends with a driveway, "that must be the place!". As we drive down you start to realize the other houses are not close. When you park in the parking spot it definitely starts to feel like a place to rejuvenate. We just need to make it past the next hurdle, introducing ourselves, which for an introvert is never fun, but Nancy made us feel welcome and at home as soon as we talked to her. She showed us the octagon, walking us through all the details including making sure the outhouse is warm in the middle of a winter night!! The details put into the octagon are amazing. I

We were looking for a nice getaway for our anniversary and the Octagon was perfect! Bert (who met us when we rolled in) was super friendly. Nancy's artistry was in every detail. Water Forest is whimsical, fun, beautiful, and peaceful. Lovely evening. I only wish there was more water in the stream in August.

A beautiful cabin in the woods experience! My husband and I stayed there after our wedding ceremony, and it was the perfect peaceful escape for us to relax and unwind after a weekend of festivities! Doug stayed up late to welcome us and show us around, and was up in the morning to see us off before we departed for our honeymoon. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!
