More Than Just a Getaway

— A PLACE TO RETREAT.

Unlike a standard short-term rental, Westmeath Oasis has been intentionally shaped around rest, privacy and retreat. Come for a restorative stay, book a self-guided retreat, gather your own private group, host an experience here or let us help you create something entirely bespoke.

Have your own boat? Bring it along! Our private dock is boat-friendly, and the Whitewater Public Boat Ramp is just five minutes away—right past the O’Brien Winery. Depending on the size of your boat, please check the river levels first.

What our guests say...

"From the moment I arrived, I felt my nervous system relax. This space is truly a retreat."


"Waking up to the stillness of the lake and taking my morning coffee on the dock was everything I needed."


"Unlike any Airbnb I’ve stayed in—this place holds energy, intention, and renewal."

Whether you come alone, with loved ones, or as a retreat host, this is a place to rest, reflect, & reset.

It is the kind of place where your breathing slows, your attention widens and ordinary life begins to feel further away. Mornings can begin beside the water; evenings around the fire. What happens in between depends entirely on why you came.

WESTMEATHOasis 
goes beyond a standard getaway.

Westmeath Oasis isn’t just a place, it’s a feeling. A deep sense of belonging. You don’t have to be spiritual, wellness-focused, or anything other than human to experience this.

Set on the Ottawa River, Westmeath Oasis creates something everyday life rarely does: enough uninterrupted space to notice what you need. Come tired, curious, full, uncertain or simply ready for time away. Leave having had room to breathe.

And the best part? You choose how it unfolds. Kayak into the mist, journal by the fire, walk barefoot through the trees, or simply be. There are no rigid schedules here. Just space, comfort, and the freedom to use your time in the way that serves you best.
