About this property
Family run swiss-style chalet, sauna and ski retreat near Twin Lakes
A place of restorative peace and relaxation.
Located on 160 acres of rolling parkland, a place to stay, play, and connect.
Whether you’re seeking quiet time by yourself, or space to reconnect with friends and family, the Guesthouse is furnished to make you feel at home. Get cozy in front of the wood stove, spread a personal project out across the dining room table, settle into a puzzle or game, read on the deck, spend a day cooking, or watch the weather roll in across the valley.
The Guesthouse is made up of two self-contained suites (upper and lower) connected by exterior stairs.
The upper suite features a full kitchen (including stove, fridge, microwave and water cooler), a spacious living room, wood stove, and a large deck overlooking the valley. This suite sleeps up to four guests, with a queen bed in the bedroom and a queen-sized sofa bed in the common space.
The lower suite can accommodate up to six people, with two queen-size beds and an additional pullout. It features a kitchenette (including sink, small fridge, microwave, and water cooler.) Its small brick patio offers a serene view of the pond below.
WiFi is free and available throughout the guesthouse.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Your host
Seeking a simple life, connected to nature, Barbara and Neil White moved to Hidden Springs in 1975. At the time, it was a scrubby, muddy, forested piece of parkland. Subsequent decades saw them clear pasture, put up a simple log house, raise sheep, and welcome four babies. The farm, its outbuildings, and amenities expanded along with their family.
Why they chose this property
Barbara and Neil’s intention was always to “come to this place, stay here forever, and do whatever work was put in front of [them].” While farming and land stewardship were consistently part of that work, Barbara built a career as a teacher and Neil spent many years as a minister, then a counsellor.
What makes this property unique
In 1999, Neil envisioned a new chapter for Hidden Springs: one that would welcome people in need of rest to a Guesthouse on the hillside. Inspired by the hospitality he’d experienced on sabbatical in L’Abri community in Switzerland, Neil was struck by the correlation between a place that is surrounded by peace and its inhabitant’s capacity to reflect it. He set out to replicate that feeling here.
