Fronterra Farm — Hotel in Ontario

My husband and I just came back from celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary at Fronterra Farm … and it was absolutely perfect and spectacular! Wow!

We were greeted warmly by owner, Jens, who lead us to our gorgeous tent and provided us with many wonderful suggestions and recommendations for fun activities/eateries/wineries to visit in Prince Edward County. As a result, we experienced an amazing wine tasting experience & stone oven pizza dinner at Norman Hardie winery, as well as, a romantic, breathtaking walk along the beach at North Beach.

Our accommodation was Tent #10 called Sanctuary … which was a secluded spot overlooking the marsh and with a beautiful direct view of North Beach ahead. We had a gorgeous view of the tranquil lake and adjoining sandbanks of North Beach which provided a picturesque landscape as we enjoyed our morning coffee. In the evening it provided the perfect sunset landscape as we enjoyed our dinner. I will miss the natural beauty we observed during our stay.

Our tent was very, very roomy with the most comfy of beds and buttery soft linens. Beautiful decor with cozy seating arrangements. We enjoyed the cooler temperatures with no bug issues. At night, even as the temperatures dropped, we remained warm and toasty as we slept wearing our long pajamas and socks at night.

We absolutely loved cooking and dining outdoors. The kitchen area was well equipped with all the cooking essentials (i.e., dishes, cups, mugs, cutlery, coffee perculator, skillet, pot, tea towel, etc.). We appeciated that tea light candles & lantern, bbq lighter, and LED lanterns were provided to give us romantic ambient lighting at night. Also, we enjoyed the hot outdoor shower and the beautiful scented body wash that was included. It was marvellous to shower outdoors with complete privacy and be able to see the sky above.

Each tent also comes with its own private bon fire area. It was so relaxing after dinner to light our firewood and enjoy a hot tea as we listened to the crackling of the fire and were mesmerized by the flickering fire while surrounded by nature.

We observed so many blue jays during our stay … it was so exciting! We had never seen so many beautiful blue jays soaring over head as we walked the camp grounds.

My husband surprised me with the flower experience where I got to cut my own flowers from the many flower boxes on the grounds … with sooo many varieties of flowers and greenery. I made 2 beautiful flower arrangements and it was so affordable - only $35 for the flower experience and $5 for each glass mason jar to put my flowers in. We used my handmade flower arrangements on the table as we ate our anniversary dinner that night as the sun was setting … it was so romantic and super pretty.

You can even buy your own eggs on-site from the egg stand for only 50 cents an egg. Fresh laid eggs right from the chickens on-site. What a nice touch!

This place is so magical and our stay was perfect from start to finish.

The owner, Jens, and his staff are incredibly wonderful, friendly, accommodating and so responsive to whatever we needed … such as requesting the charcoal grill and firewood.

Our experience here com exceeded our expectations and we couldn’t be more happier. We created so many happy memories here and would absolutely come back without hesitation. There is a reason that this place books up fast. Such a hidden treasure. We can’t wait to come back again. Thank you Fronterra Farm for making our stay an unforgettable one. One of our best weekend...

Fronterra Farm is run by wonderful friendly people with a very unique experience in nature. My wife and I stayed for the first time in the end of September and were the only people there. A quiet peaceful time in nature with cooler temperatures and no bugs is what I wanted and got. We stayed in a water front tent but could walk around and check other camps to see what we might choose on another visit since it was empty. Each camp had its own unique rustic charm with beautifully designed features. I wanted open air views of sunsets by the water but others had fire pits in the camp or larger eating areas. Some had gorgeous showers in old stone walls. Each one had its positives and negatives, like shelter from wind but no open air views across the water. We loved our choice but would try another one next time for a different experience. We had cool temperatures but the warm open shower was excellent and an enjoyable experience even for my wife. Also sleeping in long underwear was more than warm enough in the king size bed. First night we had an almost hurricane type severe storm with high winds and hard rain and the tent shook but took it with ease and no leaks. The design of these tents is amazing. Ours would rise and fall with changing water levels. I am a light sleeper and second night it was so quiet but I woke first to coyotes howling in the distance and then later raccoons raiding our camp. The raccoons had opened both the wooden garbage box and cooler box which were well tied shut. Even I struggled to open the boxes when shut tight but raccoons are so intelligent and probably have more experience at it then me. I was on them quickly and saved most of the food but they ran off with a bag of pistachio nuts they could grab in a hurry. We could hear them enjoying the bag in the darkness but luckily they were satisfied and did not return. We love sea food and ate large with salmon, halibut, lobster tails, jumbo scallops and mussels. So the garbage smell was sure to attract wildlife. That along with fresh Wellington farmers market vegetables and Fronterra fresh eggs, we had gourmet meals easily cooked on the propane gas stove. That along with local Norman Hardie wine, it could not get any better. The wineries in that area are great and all open for wine tasting. Daytime we spent hiking to burn the calories gained and Prince Edward County is gorgeous. I have never seen so many blue jays, hundreds. You have to go into this having done the research and with the right attitude. Nature can be harsh like the storm we were hit with but it can be so beautiful also. I think any rare bad review was from people not following simple rules and not seeing the positive side of this experience. Fronterra has done everything possible to make this a unique wonderful experience and to leave you with great memories. Something different and unique even the best five star hotels cannot give you. We are already talking of when we will return next. Thank you Jens &...
