A Five Day Dream Vacation in the Wilderness – In Luxury & Comfort !!

Package ID: CNEC2010-3

This five-day program, ideally suited to two couples or a family of four, offers a combination of total relaxation and light activities. Each day offers optional activities in canoeing, hiking, gardening and exploration. And – each day offers opportunities for sitting on the deck, or in the gardens, or relaxing in the sauna. The world slows when you get to Forest House; take the time to rejuvenate and re-connect!

Saskatoon, often referred to as the City of Bridges, is indeed your bridge to adventure in Saskatchewan’s north. Your rental car will be waiting for you at the airport, and you will take a short (5 minute?) drive downtown and check into the Hilton Garden Inn. You’ll have time to relax this evening, have a great meal (your hotel is in the heart of the downtown restaurant district) and maybe even take a scenic cruise on the river downtown with Shearwater River Cruises.

Tomorrow you have a bit of a drive along good highways straight north through the rolling parklands, past Prince Albert National Park and into the boreal forest region to the small but friendly community of Missinipe, from where your Forest House adventure will start the next day. You will spend the night in one of Churchill River Canoe Outfitters’ delightful cabins and have a full breakfast before starting your trip to Forest House.

Day 2: This day is spent travelling to Forest House. Meet in Missinipe at Churchill River Canoe Outfitters. You have the choice of flying out by float plane from Missinipe, or driving to MacLennan Lake and spending about four hours paddling into Forest House. Arrive by late afternoon.

Forest House is a luxury wilderness lodge located in the heart of the Boreal Forest in Northern Saskatchewan. The log buildings and the surrounding gardens have been lovingly carved from the Precambrian rock over the last three decades. Your accommodations are a rare combination of first class comfort and rustic elegance.

Scrumptious meals are made with produce from the Forest House gardens and the surrounding forest. Forest House is an oasis of peace and quiet well off the beaten path. We offer a chance to unplug from the business of our modern world and relax.

Days 3, 4 and 5: Each day you have guided-activity options. These options include: canoeing (with the possibility of an overnight trip), hiking, gathering wild edibles, learning about organic gardening and sustainable living, photography, painting… and the list could go on. In late afternoon the sauna is fired up for a cleansing sweat punctuated with a refreshing dip in the lake. The evenings are spent taking part in a Forest House gourmet meal prepared in the Forest House kitchen.

Day 6: By noon you are either on the float plane or back in the canoe heading home to your cabin at Missinipe, a delicious meal and a chance to gather your belongings (and all those memories!) for tomorrow, when you will be driving south to Saskatoon and an evening of relaxation before boarding your flight home the next day.
