## Our read

The water is the reason to come, and it stays small enough to feel like a house rather than a hotel.

## Come here for

- Daily practice as the spine of the trip, not an add-on
- Staying somewhere that takes its land seriously
- Bathing culture over treatment menus
- Small groups and solo travellers who dislike crowds

## Skip it if

- You want resort scale, with several restaurants and a crowd to disappear into
- You need polished finishes and constant connectivity
- You want restaurants and an evening scene within walking distance

## The place

Agape Gardens is a 30-acre nature-based retreat and homestead in Luskville, Quebec. About 35 minutes from Ottawa and close to Gatineau Park. It is the family home of Jennie and Jeremy, where they raise their children, tend permaculture and edible landscapes inspired by Japanese garden design, and welcome guests for camping, glamping, rest, and mindful connection. Stays are named like the sky: House of Pisces and House of Libra stargazer bell tents, House of Leo (minimalist off-grid A-frame), House of Capricorn (solar-powered rustic cabin), House of Aries and Gemini BYO tent sites, and RV / camper pads. Shared amenities at the main reception house include a full bathroom with hot water, outdoor kitchen and gathering spaces, plus free WiFi in designated areas. The signature Wild Spa circuit features a wood-fired sauna, hot tub, cold plunge, and Jennie's Venik ritual (birch-bundle massage inside the sauna). Optional experiences listed publicly include sauna rituals, massage therapy, holistic coaching, retreat days, workshops, homemade organic meals, and private or small-group custom bookings. Guests book Nature Stays and retreat experiences directly through agapegardens.ca (Hipcamp cancellation terms are noted on their site).
