REVIEWS
I came to Bon Eco Suites to get away from Toronto for a week, desperately needing peace and solitude to work on a travel memoir book. Feeling the nagging distractions of everyday chores, work and noisy urban life, I craved a quiet town like Tamworth to just focus on writing. The apartment at Bon Eco provided everything I needed, and my mind was finally able to relax and focus, making a huge difference in the creative process. Carolyn and Hans were also wonderful hosts for a lovely dinner, and enjoyed hearing about the progress I was making in my writing project. I've never worked so hard for a week -- feeling the joys of seeing my writing become more captivating, and also the exhaustion of putting in long hours to allow this growth to flourish. I returned to Toronto with renewed optimism and excitement about my future as a writer. Thank you Carolyn and Hans!

Take two fertile minds with generous hearts, place them gently in a small mill town in rural Ontario called Tamworth, and they will create a Brigadoon for artists. Carolyn Butts and Hans Honegger are the initiators of a unique and clever scheme: attract interesting people into their lives by offering a retreat for creating, thinking and dreaming. It works. The setting is perfect: pure air and rugged vistas where the northern boundaries of the Carolinian forest meet the Canadian Shield, plus the amenities you need and none of the nonsense. At the same time, enjoy a one-bedroom suite with that big table for spreading out your work and a chair as comfortable as it looks. Yes, the experience is as inspiring and as functional as the photos show. You'll come home with projects done and new ones percolating.
Very highly recommend.

I spent a week at the Bon Eco Suites in March 2014 to work on my book about the transformative power of walking and knew I was in the right place when, minutes after arriving in Tamworth, Carolyn and Hans told me that the village would be holding a spirit walk in a couple of days to bring the community together after a recent tragedy. My stay was meant to be. The apartment was a perfect place to write and relax, the village was stocked with every staple I could possibly need, the surrounding country roads were wonderful for walking and running, the nearby conservation area was excellent for sunny winter snowshoe trek, and Carolyn and Hans may be the world's greatest hosts — it was a dream writing retreat, a respite from my busy life and responsibilities in the city, and a place to which I will certainly return.

I spent a week on retreat at the Bon Eco Suite in Tamworth in November. I wanted to focus on a couple of writing projects, one of which was research-oriented and the other was creative. It was precisely what I needed and became my cottage in a village. I left the busy world for a week and immersed myself in solitude, long walks, and generally just allowed my ideas to brew and percolate. Remarkably, I was also offered company when I needed it. Carolyn and Hans are wonderful and supportive hosts. They understand the creative process and allowed me to choose solitude or company, without any pressure whatsoever. They are also very interesting people to talk to - imbued with great spirits and a deep understanding and love of the arts. Truly a wonderful experience.
