The "Twiglet", is part of the Nature Energy Centre, home of the multi award winning "Hoblet". The twiglet is a totally private and separate unit from the existing Hoblet, yet guests will be able to experience all the rescues and adopted horses, alpacas, miniature goats and many other farm animals residing within our beautiful wooded property.
The Twiglet is unique, a tiny house, modern, new and nestled in the forest. 400 square feet of indoor and outdoor living area, 3 glass doors opening to the patio deck which leads you to your own fire bowl (manufactured fire logs/bricks ONLY). Two more private deck areas all with furnishings for lounging or viewing, or just "chillin" out. Surrounded by pine trees and forest, not to mention the goats nearby. The outdoor living area has a small propane barbeque all housed in a separate outdoor cooking barzebo.
One of the highlights of the Twiglet is the wonderful bedroom, over 100 square feet, queen bed, sitting area and a full glass corner, floor to ceiling looking onto the lovely Dragonfly pond and garden. The bedroom even has its own door walking out onto the third deck patio area. A morning coffee, some time for a great book, or just watching the goldfish makes for a truly zen experience. Two functioning windows as well as a ceiling fan, and closet complete the modern, crisp romantic bedroom.
The full bathroom includes, sink, cabinet and shower with a high end "rainshower" bar, a skylight above gives wonderful light and height to this modern bathroom, as well as a little window over the toilet area.
The open concept living room/kitchen, and the entire interior is done in a modern clean "industrial" look, exposed rafters and silver conduit electrical. A 40 gallon hot water heater, TV and DVD, as well as a modern kitchenette.
Total of six windows for tons of light and views of the forest and those infamous horses, goats and alpacas!
The kitchenette area has a small fridge (tiny freezer in it), microwave, toaster oven, and two induction cooking hot plates, with the appropriate cookware included. Toaster, kettle and coffeemaker are included as are dishes, flatware, utensils etc..
The living room/sitting area has TV and DVD player with movies provided.
Though the "twiglet" is part of Nature Energy Centre, it is its own entity, with its own parking and situated on opposite ends of the property from the "Hoblet". (Please refer to our listing of the Hoblet, award winning for over 12 years). Privacy for all (including ourselves, lol).
Whether you are travelling from abroad, a week long vacation or just getting away from the city for a weekend, or perhaps considering life in a "tiny house" - the Twiglet is a perfect getaway. Fifteen minutes from the brink of the falls, in the heart of the Niagara Peninsula and part of the working sanctuary we provide for rescued critters. Guests can make reservations for a "meet and greet" and "hands on time" with the animals. The alpacas, horses and the goats all have their own personality and love to interact with our guests.
Whether you choose the "Twiglet" or the "Hoblet", our attention to detail and providing a mixture of back to nature energy with the comforts of home is always our priority. Revenue from the "Twiglet" and the "Hoblet" rentals have helped to provide a new beginning and wonderful life for the creatures that call Nature Energy home now. We look forward to welcoming you and continuing our passion with our beloved animals.
Come and enjoy what nature has to offer and the energy the love of animals can provide.

Dawn and her "critters" are incredible. We had a very relaxing weekend away and would definitely stay here again! The Twiglet is adorable and exactly as advertised.
We only stayed one night at the hoblet on the way up to Lake Ontario, but we had a great time! Dawn is so nice and accommodating, the place was great, we absolutely loved petting the goats and all the farm animals. Would definitely come back again!❤️
Property was very clean, well decorated, and close to Niagara while still being remote. Animals were fun to be around, and Dawn was very friendly and attentive.
The Twiglet was super cute and we really enjoyed our stay. Dawn, the host, was really nice and the goats were so fun! …Would definitely recommend a stay if you enjoy animals and a unique little place to unplug from technology.
It was a kick interacting with all the animals. The little house was private and had all the amenities you’d ever need. Very clean.

Petra is a fantastic host!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our three nights at "The Hoblet" my wife describes it as a magical place! Petra was like having our travel agent next door, she gave great advice and made our trip to the falls fantastic.

...glad you enjoyed "our" Niagara, it sounds like a commercial I know but there really is so much more than just the falls. It was our pleasure.
With appreciation, Petra
The twiglet provided a window to the animals on the property and the perfect place to curl up and read a good book! It was a short drive to the falls and also provided a nice respite from all the action of clifton hill. Would stay again!
The Twiglet was a great spot for a long weekend getaway. Only 15 minute drive to Niagara Falls. Located on an animal sanctuary- we could feed and pet the animals (goats, alpacas, horses, donkey, turkeys, and ducks). This “tiny home” was a perfect couples retreat!

Wonderful place to relax with my family
Thank you for the warm welcome and the opportunity for my children to enjoy being outside - the goats and donkeys are magic. They make cold weather disappear and being outside a treat. .

....its was great to have you back again! Thank you
This was the absolute perfect stay from the easy check in, coziest cabin, fun with farm animals, and incredible communication from hosts! We felt out in the country while also having access to everything within 15 minutes! It was perfect, we would 10/10 recommend and come again! Thank you!
This was a wonderful, unique accommodation. A completely different experience from my usual business travel. Unplugged evenings, animals yo say hello to, trickling water features. Tiny house relaxation.
If you love animals then come here. I've never stared so deep into an alpacas eyes with it, at least what seemed, like it was smiling back at me lol. The cabin was cosy and suited all needs. We would definitely recommend.
Every inch of the property is absolutely beautiful and staying so close to all of the animals was magical. Dawn is the kindest BNB host I’ve ever met as well and makes you feel at home here. You can walk around the conservatory freely and visit and/or feed the animals whenever you want. My girlfriend and I ended up booking an extra day here because we loved it so much. Can’t recommend it enough
We had a great time staying in the Twiglet! What a cute and cozy cabin! And staying around the animals was an extra treat… we loved saying hello to all the goats, alpaca, and ducks with special appearances by the farm dogs and cat. Dawn was great too! Easy to communicate with and clear easy instructions for checking in. The Twiglet was the perfect peaceful oasis after a busy day exploring to Niagara Falls area. Would love to come back again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hoblet. This was a great, very quiet place to stay but still only a 15 minute drive from Niagara Falls. Petra and Mush were excellent hosts, attending to our needs while granting us our privacy. If you're looking for relaxing solitude, this is a great option. We even got to enjoy several fresh apples picked direct from her tree. Just wish we hadn't missed the nectarines! Maybe next stay.

Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to send a review. So glad you enjoyed the apples and taking the drive along the parkway to experience the fruit stands in Niagara, alot of folks miss that. We will save some nectarines for you next time!
Much appreciated.
This was a fun time having a goat greeting and so many animals to adore.
Well-kept tiny house - very peaceful and quiet. All you can do is relax with no internet service.
A great experience

Peaceful and relaxing
We booked this property based on reviews by previous guests. We were not disappointed. The owners were gracious and a great source of information for things to do in the area that were not so touristy. From enjoying our morning coffee on the covered porch to feeding the rescue animals on the property... It was a very relaxing vacation. If we make it to that area again, we would definitely stay here.

So glad you explored Niagara and enjoyed it all. Thanks so much for all your thoughtful gestures! Hope to see you again one day, the fall foliage is fantastic here.
All the best
Enjoyed it all. Host was friendly and very helpful. Didn’t realize how much wine was in the area. Easy drive to Niagara. The worst thing was the alpaca that sneezed on me lol. I would recommend to anyone looking for a romantic and comfy get away!!! If there weren’t so many other places I want to go we would go back next year.
