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.

    What a gem! A little getaway hidden in wine country surrounded by sanctuary animals (mostly in their own penned areas). Offering easy access to the region’s amenities with a car, this little (and they mean little) home has what one needs to take care of themselves. Heat, electricity, water, own mini kitchen w mini appliances and a mini bathroom and a mini bedroom with a queen-sized bed. (It might be a touch tricky for anyone with mobility issues to navigate, but it isn’t a challenging landscape to traverse.) The hosts are friendly and helpful and are doing great work with the animals (the animals you can meet and pet!). A great and eccentric accommodation for great, eccentric people like me. ;)

    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!

    Animals at the location were nice….goats, ducks, lamas. Property is filled with animal stalls, very dirty, expectedly. The accommodations are right next to the animals, mice, ants, spiders present, and the building seemed pieced together with whatever. I will say that the people there are very kind. Limited water available. A bit too close to the animals.

    Some things were wonderful. Patio outside the bedroom and the window view were lovely. A tiny oasis. Bed was very comfortable. We had everything we needed for a secluded time away. That said everything was just a little less than desirable and we are not hard to please guests. It seems like no one prepared for our visit. Dirty dishwater left in the sink, microwave not cleaned, overgrowth and random items placed around the property unlike the pictures, doors don't open and close securely, out of date instructions, and apparently we were expected to clean and set-up the outdoor spaces ourselves. Would it deter us from returning? No. Could it be nicer? Cleaner? More inviting? Yes. It's a tad neglected and a bit pell mell.

    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!❤️
