Friendly Home Away from Home
We stayed at the Hoblet as a home base for some quiet, relaxing time away - a nice, humble home. The animals were a bonus - especially Norman who greeted us each time as we walked backed to the cabin.

Beautiful Escape into Nature
The cottage was cozy and clean. The pond out back was really pretty and the animals were very cute and friendly. The kitchen was good and the whole aesthetic fit perfectly. This was one of the most peaceful vacations my girlfriend and I have had. If you are looking to escape into nature, this is one of the best places to go, short of simply putting up a tent on Mount Washington.

Lovely Animal Sanctuary
It is a lovely little place to stay with the main selling point being the animals. They are so friendly and we loved being around them! The Hoblet was clean and a little quirky which added to its charm. The host was extremely nice and easy to contact.

Fantastic Experience
We stayed here for a week and had a great time. The Hoblet stayed nice and cool despite high temps and high humidity during our stay there. It was the perfect quiet getaway while we explored the area and visited family. Dawn was very responsive and helpful, and we loved being able to feed the various goats and alpacas by hand. (Wanda the cat was also a wonderful part of our stay.) Definitely not an experience we'll forget any time soon!

Nice change of pace
We stayed here while visiting the falls. My girlfriend loves animals so I surprised her by booking this. She was very excited when we arrived to see them all. The little cottage we stayed at was lovely and had a nice outdoor area.

Glamping
This is the perfect place to stay if you don't mind a bit of bother and are looking for an experience. The cottage has a few "don't" messages for my liking but for the right glamper, it is on point. The animals were the highlight for us. So friendly and pet-worthy. Each morning and night the goats, ducks, horses, ponies, donkies, alpacas and such would greeted us - asking for a pet. So sweet!

Relaxing Getaway
We booked a three night stay that felt like we were away for one week. It was very relaxing to be surrounded by nature and many new outside friends :) The Hoblet offered us an opportunity to disengage from the busyness of life while providing all of the amenities necessary to feel right at home. We hope to book another visit.

Another great stay at the Hoblet
We stayed regularly at the Hoblet pre-COVID, but this was our first trip back since 2018. Under new ownership, this gem of a property has somehow improved and we had more fun than ever, something we didn't think was possible. More a living farm than ever, the sweet goats, horses, alpacas, and even ducks and turkeys were a delight to interact with, feed, and pet. The house itself is the same -- bright and quiet, very comfortable for some time unplugging and decompressing from the world. The bed could use some help -- the mattress is not very comfortable and the frame seems to slope pretty strongly, but there is a new pull out sofa which was very nice. Dawn was a great host, always communicative and took time out to tour the property with us and introduce us to her little world. We are definitely planning to return again -- our family appreciated and enjoyed this getaway in just-rural-enough Ontario.
