Not that we didn't like it, but the stairs to the loft is quite steep... Just a heads up if you have any knee or hip issues

Reviewed Jun 29, 2026Its a nice, quint little place. Its so quiet and peaceful. The indoor fire place was lovely. The four legged inspector was a highlight. Came in and inspected that all was good and even decided to have a little lay down in the sun. Loved that! Im a big animal lover and was missing my babies at home. Definitely lifted my spirits.
The road was a bit tough to get to our cabin (Polo). We did struggle a bit to get up the steep hill but the view at the top was worth it. I definitely suggest some bug spray as there were definitely a lot of creepy crawlies that joined us. A bit disappointed with the coffee option that was available. We enjoy our coffee but a quick trip to Clay Cafe sorted our coffee fix.

Reviewed Apr 9, 2026The outlook from the deck was nice. The hot tub was good.
The sleeping area is in the apex of an A-frame cottage at the top of near-vertical, narrow stairs. You have to crawl into the bed and lie just under the roof. There is absolutely no comfortable furniture in the lounge area. No place to sit and read. Cheap plastic chairs and table for eating. No oven. If it rains, you are trapped.

Reviewed Jan 22, 2026I didn’t like anything. This is a horrible and dirty place.
The chalets were filthy. The bedding was not clean and smelled badly. The owner, Tim was so rude, he was even so drunk. When I was giving back his keys, his dog tried to attack me and he didn’t even stop the dog, my brother came to my rescue. There was also a strong odour in the chalet. Unprofessional owner. Also the stairs to what they call a bedroom are very steep, definitely a health hazard. Worst place ever. Unprofessional drunk owner

Reviewed Jun 23, 2025We had a fabulous stay in the Maple Cabin at Treehaven Retreat. The Cabin was cozy and perfect for a romantic couples getaway! Even though it was freezing outside, we were warm and snug inside at night with the indoor fireplace going and comfy bed upstairs. Awesome fire-heated hot tub on the deck and situated in a beautiful place. Loved that there was no TV inside, and we got to enjoy each other's company. Great wifi signal at the cabin and all the basic amenities you need for a lovely stay, including a hot shower! Thank you for a wonderful stay. 🙏🏻

Reviewed May 6, 2025I stayed at Treehaven Retreat from in April 2025 and had a truly rejuvenating solo getaway. What stood out most was the abundance of firewood that kept the place warm and welcoming, adding to the already cozy charm of the space. The host, Richard, was incredibly hospitable and made the experience feel personal and cared for.
If I had one caution, it would be the steep stairs to the loft bed—they were quite tricky to navigate, especially when tired. Something to be aware of, particularly for those with mobility concerns. Overall, I would definitely recommend Treehaven Retreat to nature lovers, solo travelers, and couples looking for a serene, off-the-grid experience. It’s a perfect spot to breathe deeply and slow down.

Reviewed Jan 9, 2025Treehaven Retreat is clean and very comfortable. Their rainshower is refreshing after a long day at Hogsback long walking trails. The beds are comfortable ,we had peaceful sleep. The gas stove cooks very fast💯❤️.This is a place to reconnect with nature. The mountains and greenery are refreshing. One of the nights was cold so we used the fireplace, very warm and we enjoyed complimentary cookies by Treehaven Retreat. I booked January because I wanted to just rest and recover after the festive season. We were able to engage in different activities thanks to our host :Tim and Natalie,we appreciate you. We went to 39step waterfall (madonna and child falls) which is mentally and physically challenging . We enjoyed horseriding, archery and took long walks . The people were quite friendly.....
The wifi or network reception was a problem during our stay . The roads of Hogsback 🤐. If possible drive a bigger car, I struggled with my Polo Hatchback, mainly because I'm not used to driving on gravel road and because of the rain,it was very slippery.
