About the Suite Retreat

Experience tranquility and comfort at its finest

Indulge in breathtaking views of the water and sky as you unwind in your secluded outdoor hot tub. This serene oasis offers complete privacy and protection from people and the elements. For those looking for a bit of excitement, a quick stroll will lead you to charming village shops, delectable restaurants, captivating art galleries, and a vibrant theatre scene. And if basking under the sun is what you desire, you can take the private staircase to reach the tranquil shores of Little Beach.

 

To enhance your relaxation experience, we provide a furnished sundeck and covered patio complete with a cozy daybed, propane firepit and inviting hot tub. Revel in unparalleled comfort while marveling at stunning views that delight both day and night.

 

For moments when you seek solitude, our quaint atrium sitting room provides a quiet sanctuary where you can immerse yourself in a captivating book or simply let your mind wander. When it’s time to rest, our luxurious bedroom awaits with its indulgent king-size bed. The fully-equipped kitchen ensures that dining in is effortless and convenient. The vanity area includes walk-in closet and ensuite bath with a modern double-shower.

Is it time for a little "sacred idleness"?

what is a clarity retreat?

Reflect, Reset, and Reboot

Clarity comes from introspective reflection, reviewing life experiences, and understanding our intentions, helping us recognize opportunities aligned with our goals.  We believe that by practicing our ideal future, we create it.  Life changes lead to transitions, and Clarity Retreats guide individuals in crafting their next chapter through self-directed inquiry, fostering personal insights and renewed purpose.  Immersion in nature and the present moment inspires possibilities, confidence, and “aha” moments.

 

The three Clarity Retreats emphasize introspective questioning — factual, emotional, and purpose-driven — to promote reflection and self-awareness. Time away from the everyday provides clarity.

Personal manifestos and vision boards are tools for shaping your future.  A vision board visually represents your ideal day, while a personal manifesto identifies core values that guide decisions. Together, they clarify your purpose. A traction plan outlines actionable steps to turn intentions into reality, focusing on the key actions that drive progress toward your best future.

what our guests say...

Sandy

My family and I have stayed at the Suite Retreat many times throughout the years and we have loved every single stay. We always find our time in Port Stanley and the Suite Retreat much more than just a vacation. The location is convenient and only a short walk to Little Beach, go to dinner in town, and to the fish market for some lovely perch! The neighbourhood is quiet and the Suite itself is very comfortable and cosy. One of our favourite things to do here is to enjoy a nice glass of wine in the hot tub overlooking Lake Erie; just breathtaking! Fran always makes the suite so inviting and we really feel right at home here.

Art & Nicole

We have been to the Suite Retreat in every season. Sitting in the hot tub with our coffee while looking out at the lake, hanging out in the sun room, walking down to the beach, great shopping and so much more... It makes the perfect retreat for us as a couple and always brings us closer together!

Gaspare & Kerri

2nd time coming here. This is a great little getaway location. The place is clean, fresh and very private. Frances is the best host and respects your privacy. Definitely going back again and would highly recommend this place.

Jessie and Jeff

I was absolutely amazed when we arrived and saw the quaintness and felt the positive energy surrounding the Suite Retreat. This place is very private and we enjoyed sitting out in the zen garden, and watching the sunsets with a glass of wine! I can honestly say the Suite Retreat is a perfect getaway to enjoy some R & R and to feel absolutely rejuvenated! The space is very clean and fully equipped with everything you need and decorated with a shabby chic feel! We loved it so much, we recently stayed there for our second time this summer! We would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking forward to a nice getaway with impeccable hospitality!
