St. Maximilian Retreat House

It’s definitely a life changing experience spending the weekend here at the Maximilian retreat house.
The cabins were really well constructed by Don with his own hands. The house is nice and cozy. Don is also very knowledgeable in construction in terms of structure, electrical and etc. I’m really impressed by how he architects the house and the whole system. He showed us a lot of useful tips in construction.
It’s also a spiritual retreat. Don shared a lot of life experience and gave us a lot of good advice in career and in life. I’m really impressed by Don’s knowledge, life philosophy and his wisdom.
The trip is also really well organized. We went fishing twice in different areas of the lake. Don and his children gave us a lot of insight into fishing and the local ecosystem. Don took us for a walk around the community. It’s quiet and peaceful. It is so healing, relaxing atmosphere and pleasant that I would recommend to everyone.
I really appreciate this opportunity meeting Don and new friends here at Maximilian retreat house. Many thanks to Don organizing this trip and sharing his wisdom with us.

Absolutely amazing! It was extremely comfortable, clean, and had the most breathtaking views. Great place to reflect on one's spirituality and wellness. We will return!

This retreat was nothing short of incredible! Don has put together a wonderful place that encourages you to push yourself physically, spiritually, and emotionally too! My experience was life changing. I cannot say enough wonderful things about St. Maximilian Retreat House!

Amazing retreat! Built wonderfully by Don the owner who built the place with his own hands. My first experience was nothing short of fun and excitement! The house has a waterfront which makes boating and fishing very accessible in any time of a nice day. 15 mins away from nearest town and a 1.5 hr drive from Toronto. The place could house 15+ people and with two showers / washrooms. Thanks Don for showing us a great time around the neighborhood!

I always a good time here at the Maximilian retreat house. My family will visit at least once a year during the summer. The host, Donald is always upbeat and very organized. He organizes boating trips and hikes for his guest. I have made many friends and new connections here. Going to the retreat house allows me to escape the busy city life and refocus on my life goals. 5 STARS!!!
