About Us
15 years and counting
For 15 years, the Forest Motel and Woodland Retreat has been under the ownership of Kim and Conroy Schelhaas and their family. Over these 15 years our team has grown in size to accommodate our growth in customers. Through our service in the hospitality industry, we have learned much about taking care of people, developing long-lasting friendships with our long-term customers.
​
We have put much of our time and effort into turning the Forest Motel and Woodland Retreat into a quiet, relaxing, and unique getaway for couples and families in Ontario; priding ourselves on immaculate rooms and inviting grounds. We provide our guests with a large number of outdoor activities, continental breakfast, and free WIFI as well as numerous additional amenities such as in-room popcorn, hot chocolate, umbrellas, magazines, books etc. to make everyone feel more at home.
​
On January 26, 2021 we tragically lost our beloved motel building to an electrical fire. No one was injured in the incident, but our hearts are heavy to announce that we have sold the Forest Motel property and are now only operating our Bed and Breakfast location.
