About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The "Twiglet"

The "Twiglet", is part of the Nature Energy Centre, home of the multi award winning "Hoblet". The twiglet is a totally private and separate unit from the existing Hoblet, yet guests will be able to experience all the rescues and adopted horses, alpacas, miniature goats and many other farm animals residing within our beautiful wooded property.

The Twiglet is unique, a tiny house, modern, new and nestled in the forest. 400 square feet of indoor and outdoor living area, 3 glass doors opening to the patio deck which leads you to your own fire bowl (manufactured fire logs/bricks ONLY). Two more private deck areas all with furnishings for lounging or viewing, or just "chillin" out.
Surrounded by pine trees and forest, not to mention the goats nearby. The outdoor living area has a small propane barbeque all housed in a separate outdoor cooking barzebo.

One of the highlights of the Twiglet is the wonderful bedroom, over 100 square feet, queen bed, sitting area and a full glass corner, floor to ceiling looking onto the lovely Dragonfly pond and garden. The bedroom even has its own door walking out onto the third deck patio area. A morning coffee, some time for a great book, or just watching the goldfish makes for a truly zen experience. Two functioning windows as well as a ceiling fan, and closet complete the modern, crisp romantic bedroom.

The full bathroom includes, sink, cabinet and shower with a high end "rainshower" bar, a skylight above gives wonderful light and height to this modern bathroom, as well as a little window over the toilet area.

The open concept living room/kitchen, and the entire interior is done in a modern clean "industrial" look, exposed rafters and silver conduit electrical. A 40 gallon hot water heater, TV and DVD, as well as a modern kitchenette.

Total of six windows for tons of light and views of the forest and those infamous horses, goats and alpacas!

The kitchenette area has a small fridge (tiny freezer in it), microwave, toaster oven, and two induction cooking hot plates, with the appropriate cookware included. Toaster, kettle and coffeemaker are included as are dishes, flatware, utensils etc..

The living room/sitting area has TV and DVD player with movies provided.

Though the "twiglet" is part of Nature Energy Centre, it is its own entity, with its own parking and situated on opposite ends of the property from the "Hoblet". (Please refer to our listing of the Hoblet, award winning for over 12 years). Privacy for all (including ourselves, lol).

Whether you are travelling from abroad, a week long vacation or just getting away from the city for a weekend, or perhaps considering life in a "tiny house" - the Twiglet is a perfect getaway. Fifteen minutes from the brink of the falls, in the heart of the Niagara Peninsula and part of the working sanctuary we provide for rescued critters. Guests can make reservations for a "meet and greet" and "hands on time" with the animals. The alpacas, horses and the goats all have their own personality and love to interact with our guests.

Whether you choose the "Twiglet" or the "Hoblet", our attention to detail and providing a mixture of back to nature energy with the comforts of home is always our priority. Revenue from the "Twiglet" and the "Hoblet" rentals have helped to provide a new beginning and wonderful life for the creatures that call Nature Energy home now. We look forward to welcoming you and continuing our passion with our beloved animals.

Come and enjoy what nature has to offer and the energy the love of animals can provide.

Very Cool Spot!
If you love animals then come here. I've never stared so deep into an alpacas eyes with it, at least what seemed, like it was smiling back at me lol. The cabin was cosy and suited all needs. We would definitely recommend.

Cute, cozy, quiet and so worth it!!
Enjoyed it all. Host was friendly and very helpful. Didn’t realize how much wine was in the area. Easy drive to Niagara. The worst thing was the alpaca that sneezed on me lol. I would recommend to anyone looking for a romantic and comfy get away!!! If there weren’t so many other places I want to go we would go back next year.

Too musty,mouldy and not clean
Animals great,didn’t get a tour of the place. Could not sit on deck area dirty, musty and lots of mould. My clothes,suitcase and car smells of mould. The animals look healthy,god bless, but would not go back. Best of luck Dawn, I know rain does not help,which we had a lot of rain. 🙁😊

This was a fun time having a goat greeting and so many animals to adore. Well-kept tiny house - very peaceful and quiet. All you can do is relax with no internet service. A great experience

Unique and calming atay
This was a wonderful, unique accommodation. A completely different experience from my usual business travel. Unplugged evenings, animals yo say hello to, trickling water features. Tiny house relaxation.
