WOW! I'm almost afraid to write this review because I don't want too many people to find this incredible place. We spent a truly perfect two days at BRR. The place is kitschy in the very best ways, it exudes romance and provided so many opportunities to connect with my wife. The food was so delicious, it felt like every meal was a 5-star dining experience. Trevor has really thought of everything to make sure you have the perfect stay. This will be an annual tradition for us moving forward!

My husband and I booked this resort for our anniversary and we had the most memorable experience! Trevor was so kind and attentive to our needs and went above and beyond with his culinary skills! Beyond that, Trevor's place is a magical land of fairytales. The love and effort put into the place is evident through the smallest of details and it truly is a once in a lifetime experience. Highly recommend booking this retreat!

My husband and I stayed at the retreat for our one year wedding anniversary and had an amazing time. Trevor, our host, thought of every detail, and the property, food and grounds were stunning. We would for sure return, and look forward to experiencing the retreat in the Fall next time.

This was an incredible weekend. We thought we were going for a little weekend getaway but our weekend in the Enchanted Forest was so much more than that. Only one couple here at a time. The peace, quiet and calmness was a time for reminiscing, reconnection and remembering why we got married 48 years ago. Trevor is the perfect host, quiet and unobtrusive but attentive at the same time. And the meals were absolutely perfect. Walks in the forest, sitting in the hot tub while the snow drifted down, and what can I say about the cuddle chair other than I want one.

Tucked away in the heart of nature, this secluded paradise offers the perfect blend of luxury, tranquility, and romance. The accommodations are nothing short of breathtaking — from the beautifully designed interiors to the cozy fireplace and the private hot tub under the stars, every detail is curated for relaxation and intimacy. We felt like we had our own private slice of heaven, completely undisturbed by the outside world. What sets Black River Retreat apart is the incredible attention to detail and warm hospitality. The host has thought of everything — from gourmet touches to personalized welcome notes, everything feels intentional and heartfelt. It’s the kind of place where time slows down, and you remember what it means to truly unwind. The surrounding nature is equally enchanting. Whether you’re walking the trails, listening to the river, or just enjoying coffee on the deck with nothing but birdsong in the air, it’s impossible not to feel connected to the world again in the most peaceful way. We left feeling renewed, reconnected, and already planning our next stay.
