Thoughts of Love and Romance from The Black River Retreat, your Ultra Private Romantic Getaway in Tweed, Ontario.


Cedar Hot Tub Under the Stars

A wave of serenity envelops you as the warm bubbling water of your private cedar hot tub relaxes your body and soothes your soul. You look up to a sky filled with stars and kiss the lips of the one you love, the romantic splendour of being the only two people in your own Private Couples Resort surrounded by the calmness of nature.

A sloping ravine forested in pine trees is the backdrop of your magical evening as you soak up the warmth of your hot tub gazing out at a forest dotted in fairy lights and a surrounding of tranquility.

There is something so special about sharing an experience with your partner that no-one else in the world is part of, creating a memory that the two of you will cherish for a lifetime.

More than simply an amenity offered at the Black River Retreat, your cedar hot tub is a magical place where the natural healing of the woods suspends time, and you are able to embrace what is truly important, an uninterrupted private snapshot in time with the one you love.

Couples Resort Hot Tub

The Romance of Cedar

When selecting the perfect hot tub for the Black River Retreat, the choice of designs and styles were seemingly endless. Inundated with a vast array of acrylic tubs featuring the options of loungers, hundreds of jets, fibre optic lighting, and cascading waterfalls, the decision to opt for an all natural cedar hot tub was remarkably easy.

Tucked away in a private woodland oasis, we wanted to preserve the “feeling” of our breathtaking natural environment with a hot tub that would blend harmoniously with nature, and embody an aura of relaxation and love.

The beautiful warmth of natural cedar, and the charm of simplicity proved to be an irresistible combination, and after very little consideration we chose our cedar hot tub from Northern Lights Cedar Hot Tubs, manufactured in Western Canada.

If you have ever had the pleasure to experience an authentic cedar hot tub, you will understand the feeling of romance that is created through the construction of solid wood and simplicity. There is a comfort in the seating position in a cedar tub that cannot be surpassed in an acrylic tub. Rather than moulded seats and loungers, you are sitting in an upright position, (think of benches in a sauna), which allows your body to mold into the tub and relax in the deep water, rather than being constrained in a sculpted seat that may not conform to a comfortable seating position for you.

You will also notice in a cedar hot tub that the number of jets is greatly reduced from what you would be accustomed to in an acrylic tub. There are many custom options available for you to choose from when selecting jets in a cedar tub, but the most common number of included jets is just four. It sounds counterintuitive when most tubs boast a significantly higher number of jets, but from the moment you sit in your cedar tub, you will realize that having a smaller number of jets provides a greater atmosphere of calmness and romance than a higher number of jets. Four jets provides you plenty of bubbles, and water movement, but you will find that with jets focussing on moving the water rather than targeting areas of your body, the atmosphere and “feeling” of your experience is much more calming and relaxing.

Much like the harmony of nature, the sheer simplicity of an authentic cedar hot tub provides an unsurpassed atmosphere of romantic relaxation that you and your loved one will forever remember with loving thoughts and longing.

Romantic Getaway with Hot Tub

A Backdrop of Relaxation

At the Black River Retreat we are fortunate to be located in beautiful Tweed, Ontario nestled on the edge of the Canadaian Shield. Surrounded by natural rock outcroppings throughout the property, we selected a site for your cedar hot tub that overlooks the gently flowing Black River, and is situated in a copse of pine trees and exposed rock, just steps from the door to your suite.

There is something very special about the natural combination of rocks, water, and trees that provides a calming and therapeutic environment that seems to soothe your soul and provide a sense of peace. In your stressful and busy live, it is often easy to overlook your health and well-being, and an escape to the woods for a couples getaway allows you the opportunity to both connect with the one you love, and allow your body to relax and absorb the natural healing of elemental nature.

When eased into a warm tub of gently bubbling water you can forget all the stresses of you life while sinking into a world of relaxation and romance. This is your opportunity to spend special time with your beautiful partner, and enjoying the calming effect of the natural forest.
