Rustling Maples Retreat
Come with family and friends to visit St. Joseph Island, Ontario, Canada! This cabin in the maple woods is situated on 176 acres and surrounded by beautiful towering maples and sap lines. In the Spring, the sap flows from the trees to the buildings where delicious maple syrup is made. The cabin isn’t available during syrup season but every stay at Rustling Maples Retreat will receive a small bottle of syrup from the property as a welcome gift!
Feel free to enjoy the property’s trails, winding through the woods with your dog, listening to the birds and watching the squirrels or bring your bicycle or ATV to go for a ride. Relax in the private and peaceful yard without a neighbor in sight or sit by the fire at the open firepit in the evening. The large screened-in porch is a great place to enjoy a meal, sit and play board games or read a book.
In the winter, this property connects to the Ontario Snowmobile Trail for convenient riding.

We had a fabulous stay!
The screened in porch was a wonderful way to unwind periodically throughout the day, a peaceful place to enjoy my morning coffee, a great spot for afternoon reading, and the table and lighting out there was perfect for family game night, after using the provided BBQ.
We hiked some of the trails of the sugar bush, I took lots of pictures, went into Richard’s Landing and enjoyed the Canada Day tractor trot and pancake breakfast, drove into the Soo for a Poutine Festival, met up with friends for some board game fun and conversation, headed over to Hilton Beach for holiday fireworks (and again to grab a few groceries from the local store), had some great family time, and slept soundly on the very comfortable beds.

Just breath taking. We stayed 4 days at this amazing cottage and just absolutely loved everything about it and I will definitely be back.
So peaceful and I just loved having fires and taking my bike on the trails through the sugar bush. I really enjoyed that amazing screened in porch to bbq and build a puzzle and read. And have a tea/coffee in my morning to just enjoy the nature. The cottage is really a huge home with 3 bedrooms with over 5 places to sleep. Has a huge livingroom with games to play and books to read. there are beautiful brand new bunk beds in 2 rooms and a beautiful king bed in the master. Very modern and hotel feel with the sheets. The kitchen and bath room are completely stocked with everything you need. And the basement has a washer and dryer. I really felt at home and loved it there so much I didn't want to leave. Make sure to check out the muesum on the island and Richards Landing
and Hilton Beach.

Beautiful home with all the amenities including air conditioning and washer/ dryer and star link. House is very functional including great kitchen and a stunning screened in porch with a large harvest table. Close to Hilton beach and Richards Landing, lots of trails on site for walking. Extremely peaceful location we will definitely be back. The hosts were really professional, good communication and house was really clean.

This place is a hidden relaxing getaway. The home is spacious, very clean and the beds and living room furniture is really comfortable. Everything you need is there and the hostess is available to assist with any questions you may have. The property is huge, quiet abd very peaceful. The screened porch is a bonus - so big and roomy - perfect area to relax on a warm afternoon or evening.

Lovely place, had a wonderful stay.

Thank you Deanna for hosting us at your wonderful property! Our family had a really memorable time here.
We enjoyed campfire nights, exploring the property trails on our bikes, local beaches and attractions. Fort St. Joseph, St. Joseph Island Museum and Meadowview Alpaca Farm (Bruce Mines) were the highlights for our kids.
The property is spacious and very well-equipped. The screened in porch and the ping pong table in the rec room were very much enjoyed. The WIFI was reliable for remote working.
Deanna was a terrific host, very helpful and great attention to detail. Another highlight that stuck out for us was how friendly and welcoming the locals are; it really added to the enjoyment of our stay. Thank you Deanna, we hope to visit again.

Rustling Maples is a true getaway. The pictures do not do it justice.
Deanna is THE MOST welcoming host and truly lives up to welcoming fur kids to her property.
No detail was missed- the beds and bedding were very comfortable. The living room furniture is comfy enough to sleep on! The entire place is cozy and welcoming. No one in our group thought anything was missing and whole heartedly recommend this place for anyone looking to truly relax!
The porch was the highlight for us! We ate our dinners there at the table and it was true perfection.
Thank you Deanna. I’m sure we will ‘see’ you again soon!!
Cheers!
