Welcome to Torch Valley
Country Retreats. The Country Retreat is along the Torch River on the
edge of the Boreal Forest.
Dear Valued Guests:
George and I have some “big” news
we want to share with you.
We have sold the Lidster Farm.
Our three log cabins are included in the sale. The new owners will be
moving here to live and farm but do not plan to continue the operation of
Torch Valley Country Retreats and cabin rentals at this time. As a result,
we shall be ceasing our cabin rentals March 31, 2012 in order to prepare for
the changeover.
In the next few weeks, we shall
be starting to make plans for our future. It is our intention at this time
to continue to live in the vicinity of Nipawin and we want to be open to
opportunities as they present themselves.
It is an exciting time for us!
We want you to know how much we have appreciated your support over the
years. Feel free to contact us when you are in the area.
Sincerely,
George and Jean Lidster
Our cabins are separated from
each other by 300 meters of forest. Each cabin has its own private yard and
trail to a private gazebo and dock at the river. The cabins have lots of
windows so even when it’s cold you can view the birds in warm comfort.
We have an extensive network
of hiking trails that are well trimmed in the summer for hiking, and well
groomed in winter for skiing and crossledding. We are planning to provide
signage that will provide better opportunities to view birds and animals,
and learn about the wide varieties of native plants and trees.
Our gazebos and docks at the
river provide a great opportunity to sunbath or sit in the screened-in
gazebo and read.
In the evening you can watch
the sunset and hear the night calls of various birds and animals. You may
hear thrushes, owls, whippoorwills, grouse drumming, coyotes howling, and if
you are lucky, a timber wolf call. Later in the evening northern lights may
give a wonderful display as a backdrop to your campfire.
Guests tell us that our cabins
are like a home away from home, safe, secure surroundings to unwind. You
can experience nature at your doorstep in all its marvelous seasons. Come
and see us. We’d love to share the beauty of the natural surroundings on
the edge of the wilderness with you!
