Awaken to nature’s beauty at Whispering Pines Retreat! Breathe the fresh country air…feel the crisp pond waters…hold hands while wandering the paths…and gaze at the wonderment of the stars through the pine trees. The short journey from St.Marys, Ontario’s stone town, will take you to your own oasis, away from everything. Whispering Pines Retreat is just 10 minutes from St.Marys, 20-30 minutes from London and 2 hours from Toronto. You may come in need of a connection to nature or just a break from everyday life. You will go home a different person, enriched from the experience of living among trees, away from the city. Whispering Pines Retreat is an off-grid establishment built on a 27 acre wooded lot. Your biggest adjustment will be getting used to no noise. You will not hear cars driving by or the honking of car horns. Rather, you will be sung poetry by birds, hear the breeze whistling among the trees and be fully embraced by nature. You enter Whispering Pines Retreat by driving down a quaint lane surrounded by towering pine and black walnut trees. As you amble around the pond, you will come to your home away from home. The 1,350+ square foot second floor welcomes you with many of the comforts of home including two queen size beds, dining table, automatic coffee maker, comfy sofas, pool table, ping pong table and so much more. The open concept makes it easy to view nature even while you are inside – from trees to a sprawling organic farm field, to the many birds that make Whispering Pines Retreat their home. Become reenergized and inspired with a stay at Whispering Pines Retreat. It will remain a part of you for life! Your comfort is our chief concern.
