About the host
Hosted by Josh & Joyce Baker
It is our vision as a family to provide a retreat that is fun, relaxing and rejuvenating for all ages.
We are a family of five who have been vacationing up in the Bruce Peninsula for years. We along with our three children have all fallen for its rustic beauty, starry nights, majestic lake and simple pleasures. We desired to find a retreat that reflected all that the Bruce has to offer. We are passionate about sharing our space with others needing a break from their busy and sometimes complicated lives. We believe that The Baker Retreat offers all of this and more and for some a spiritual retreat enabling them to go back home with a new spirit of strength, energy and endurance.
