Whispering Springs

🍎🍂 Your Northumberland County fall bucket list is here.

There’s something about autumn here that just hits differently — apple orchards, country fairs, winding roads through changing forests, crisp mornings, warm c***r and evenings spent by the fire. Our newest blog rounds up some of the best ways to experience fall in Northumberland County, including:
🍎 Apple picking along the Apple Route
🎶 Cultivate Festival in Port Hope
🎡 The Warkworth Fall Fair
🌙 Our Camp Moonlight Fundraiser
🍁 Scenic fall foliage drives
💍 The Whispering Springs Wedding Open House
🌲 And, of course, a cozy fall escape at Whispering Springs

Most of it is within 45 minutes of the retreat, which makes Whispering Springs a pretty dreamy home base for a fall weekend away. Think colourful forest views, spring-fed ponds reflecting the leaves, cool nights around the fire, and a hot tub that suddenly feels less like a luxury and more like a necessity. 🍂✨

September nights at Whispering Springs are something special. The air is cooler, the forest gets a little quieter, and the sky seems to open up above the trees. This month, there are a few beautiful celestial moments to watch for:
✨ Venus glowing in the western sky
🍂 The Autumn Equinox on September 23
🌕 The Harvest Moon on September 26
🌌 The last of the summer constellations before the autumn sky takes over

With 200 acres of forest, open views over our spring-fed ponds, and very little light pollution, evenings here are made for slowing down and looking up. Our newest blog shares what to watch for in the September sky, plus a few tips for making the most of a night under the stars at Whispering Springs. Grab a blanket, light the fire, pour something warm and stay outside a little longer. ✨

Wedding trends are changing — and we’re very here for it. 🌿💍
In 2026, couples are moving away from the idea that a wedding has to be bigger, longer and more elaborate to be memorable.
Instead, it’s becoming all about how the day feels.

✨ Smaller guest lists with the people who matter most
🌲 Ceremonies surrounded by real wilderness
🤍 Personal vows and meaningful traditions
🏕️ Wedding weekends where everyone can stay and celebrate together
📵 Unplugged ceremonies
🌸 Thoughtful, natural details that feel true to the couple

And what’s going out? Overly choreographed wedding parties, marathon receptions and venues that could be anywhere.

Some things, though, never go out of style: flowers, dancing, a meaningful first look, heartfelt vows and that incredible moment when the ceremony finally begins. 🤍

Our newest blog explores Wedding Trends 2026: What’s In, What’s Out & What’s Timeless. If you’re planning your wedding right now, this one is worth a read.

There are moments when someone says, “We believe in what you’re doing,” and those words mean more than they may ever realize.

We are incredibly grateful to RBC Foundation for their generous $5,000 gift to the We Love Joy Foundation in support of Camp Moonlight. 🌙

Camp Moonlight was inspired by our granddaughter Ayla and our family’s journey into a world we didn’t fully understand before — one filled with extraordinary children and families who love fiercely, advocate endlessly, and deserve a place where they simply belong.

A place where accessibility isn’t an afterthought.
Where siblings are included. Where parents can connect with people who understand. And where every child is celebrated exactly as they are.

A special thank you to Lydia Marciano for believing in our mission and helping make this incredible gift possible.

On September 18th, RBC Foundation will join us at An Evening Under the Moon to officially present their cheque in support of Camp Moonlight. ✨

And we’d love for you to be there too.

🎟️ Tickets are on sale now! Join us for a beautiful evening, help us raise funds for Camp Moonlight, and be part of building a place where families can feel supported, understood and completely welcome.

Every ticket brings us one step closer. 🌙💙

Looking for somewhere to disappear together for a few days? 🌲🤍

Ontario has no shortage of beautiful romantic escapes — w**e weekends in Niagara-on-the-Lake, cottage-country sunsets in Muskoka, wilderness adventures around Algonquin and slow days spent eating and sipping your way through Prince Edward County.
But sometimes the most romantic getaway is the one where there’s nowhere you need to be.

At Whispering Springs, couples can escape to 200 acres of peaceful forest, soak in a private hot tub overlooking a spring-fed pond, sleep among the trees, wander forest trails, stargaze beside the water and end the evening around the fire. ✨

Choose an A-frame cabin with floor-to-ceiling views and a loft net, a treetop tent suspended above the forest floor, or a luxury safari tent complete with a deep soaker tub.

Our newest blog rounds up The Most Romantic Getaways in Ontario for Couples and helps you find the escape that’s right for the two of you.
