Once a historic 1860 farmhouse, now a secluded retreat where natural beauty, pure spring water and thoughtful designs create a place for comfort, connection, renewal and unforgettable gatherings.
Built in 1860 by Scottish settlers drawn to its pristine freshwater springs, Silver Springs has evolved into a serene retreat where history, craftsmanship, and nature come together. Generations of caretakers have shaped the land and spaces, creating a private escape designed for relaxation, connection, and renewal.
At Silver Springs Retreat, our mission is to provide a space where people can step away from routine and experience the restorative power of nature. Whether for focused collaboration, personal renewal, or meaningful gatherings, we offer an environment designed for both inspiration and relaxation.
Every element of Silver Springs is designed to harmonize with the landscape—spring-fed ponds, forested trails and open skies offer space for both adventure and stillness.
From thoughtfully designed spaces to nourishing meals, every detail is curated to support rest, connection and renewal.
Generations of craftsmanship have shaped this retreat, preserving its history while ensuring comfort, quality and authenticity in every experience.
Rooted in history, Silver Springs began as a modest 1860 farmhouse, built by early Scottish settlers drawn to its abundant fresh water springs. Over generations, dedicated caretakers have shaped the retreat—each leaving their mark. From an expert water feature designer in the 1960s to a master woodworker in the 1980s, and a retreat visionary in the 1990s, every addition has been guided by a deep appreciation for nature and craftsmanship. Today, Silver Springs is a sanctuary where history, thoughtful design and pristine wilderness come together to offer a truly unique escape.

"had a truly wonderful weekend at Silver Springs. My friends and I have been doing an annual “girls weekend” for 5 or 6 years now and Silver Springs was the best location yet. Thank you so much for your perfect hospitality."

"We enjoyed the whole Silver Springs experience, so friendly and warm, the beautiful location and charming home so tastefully decorated and absolutely wonderful dinner and brunch with Greg and Lee. We already have told our friends and colleagues about Silver Springs. It’s so nice to be able to recommend something so highly and unreservedly."

"I just wanted to extend my thanks for an absolutely fabulous stay at your facility a few weeks ago. It was already my fourth time there and you seem to improve with each time I come. I felt like I was eating out at the best restaurants in Toronto every day I was there. The combination of the food and wine with the fact that my group can have the facility to themselves without other guests, as we would get at a regular hotel, made it a great team building event. I am already looking forward to booking once again for next year."

"I wanted to say how much Brian and I enjoyed our stay at Silver Springs. It was a unique and very enjoyable experience that I have been telling all my friends about. I was so inspired by the East meets West cuisine that I am now “woking” on a regular basis. The wine tasting was enlightening as well. We had tasted our way through California, Oregon, Ontario, Italy and France, and now have to start all over again with the right glasses!"

"The chef was unpretentious and patient, easy-going and friendly, a cooking instructor who wouldn’t rap your knuckles with the wooden spoon if you burned the soufflé."

I can’t imagine nicer accommodations for a retreat. The rooms, meeting space, and grounds are the finest we have ever used for a retreat. The food was gourmet quality, beautifully prepared and presented.

“We rented Silver Springs for our wedding. It was the most beautiful experience of our lives. We were married right beside the water. The celebration and our pictures turned out wonderful. The resort is amazing with cozy sofas and breathtaking views from every room. We cannot recommend Silver Springs enough!”
