About this space
This Stonefield Estate Gazebo called "The Cedars" is nestled on our 100+ acres between a cedarwood forest, and a pristine private lake. Breathe in the fresh air, reconnect with nature and give your body and soul a well deserved break. Let the peeper frogs lull you to sleep and the distant call of the loons be your wake up call. Enjoy nature with many comforts of home plus canoes & kayak for exploring the lake.

The space
The Cedars not only has a beautiful and comfortable bed for you to rest your head on after a long day of exploring nature, but is over the top when it comes to glamping. It has a large screened in area with an additional day bed overlooking LED candlelit fireplace. This unit comes with a lovely credenza pump sink for all your washing needs, as well as a storage bench with 2 coolers. We've thought of everything. No need for excessive packing, just purchase some food and ice and you're all set! This well appointed space also has a large gorgeous china cabinet decked out with Royal Doulton fine china to eat your meals from. We just took glamping up a notch or two, okay maybe a dozen.
The cabinet contains wine glasses, cups, dishes, cutlery, BBQ utensils, a kettle, a French press for coffee lovers, salt, pepper, sugar etc. There is a propane BBQ with a filled tank just outside of the gazebo, as well as a fire pit.
The ultra chic outhouse has a foot pump sink, towels, soap, toilet paper, and led candles. There is also a shower area attached to the outhouse with a pump shower for you to rinse off with. This unit also has an acoustic guitar hanging on the wall for you to enjoy by the campfire, as well as a professional grade manual massage chair, complete with essential oils for extra relaxation.
Light a fire in the fire pit just steps from the gazebo or cozy up with a blanket on the hammock overlooking the stream. There is also a river nearby on the backend of the property.
The private lake is just a short 3 minute walk down a forest path where you will find a canoe for exploring. A ten minute paddle will bring you to the middle of the lake, where you will find a floating dock with an umbrella and two reclining chairs.
Each of our 3 luxurious gazebos ( The Lakeside, The White Oaks, & The Cedars)
have their own propane BBQ, ultra-chic outhouse w/shower, and recharging power stations for your small electronics ( phones, laptops ). Each gazebo also has its own canoe stationed by our dock.
Our 3 gazebos are between a 3 to 5 minute walk from each other, so privacy is definitely not an issue! Our original Lakeside gazebo is steps from our dock and private lake. There you will see our beavers who have made their home close to the dock. Our White Oaks gazebo is in our old white oaks forest, where you will hear the song birds, and see wild turkey foraging for acorns. The Cedars Gazebo is nestled between or cedar and pine forest where you will most likely see deer passing by on their trails to the meadows.

PLEASE NOTE: This retreat does not have electricity. However, a small, silent portable power station is available in each accommodation for guests who wish to charge their phones, laptops and small electrical devices.
The use of the property and gazebos is for the TWO registered guests only! Bringing in anyone that is not associated with your booking is completely prohibited.
Please treat our beautiful sanctuary with respect. There is a garbage bin with garbage bags for you to use. Please do not throw any garbage into our pristine lake. Do not leave any food items out in screened in area, as it will attract animals. Please use the 2 coolers provided or bring food items into the gazebo over night. Smoking is prohibited on the property.
If you wish to light a fire, please only light SMALL fires for ambience or roasting marshmallows. You are free to gather your own firewood around the area. There is a propane BBQ for you to use to cook your meals. Please turn off the gas when not in use.
There are 2 lounge chairs bolted to the raft for you. Just unfold them when you get there and fold them back up when leaving the raft. Please remember to close the umbrella as well or it might end up in the lake if the wind picks up.
When entering or leaving the property, please close the gates. Make sure the pin on the right leaf of the gate is in the designated hole or the wind will blow open the gates.
***This property is an animal-free zone due to SEVERE allergies. Please don't ask if you can bring your dog, cat etc, or try to sneak them in. This applies to service animals as well unfortunately. Just because different terms are used to describe the same thing, a dog is a dog etc, whether it is your pet or a service animal. Although we do sympathize with people who require service animals, my severe allergies do not know the difference and I do not want to die. Our property is exempt from domestic animals entering the grounds, we ask that you please respect this.
We also have deer and other creatures that live around the gazebos. The scent of a dog or other animal would scare them off, fundamentally changing the nature of the experience and impacting it for other guests.
This is a beautiful opportunity to reconnect with nature and yourselves, disconnect from the grid and stresses of everyday life. It's a pretty special place and a one of a kind experience.
