VISION FOR WARBLER’S ROOST
The proprietors are Darren Copeland and Nadene Thériault-Copeland who live on the property. Their vision for Warbler’s Roost includes an opportunity for families, artists, sports enthusiasts and those just looking for a weekend away from the city, to enjoy the quiet countryside without sacrificing the comforts of home. Warbler’s Roost is more than a place to stay. Darren and Nadene see the property as being a home for creative inspiration and sharing.
ARTIST RESIDENCIES
Residencies for artists of any discipline are welcome. We offer discounted artist rates for one week stays year-round both for individuals and those organized by non-profit arts organizations. For sound artists and recordists the soundscape is rich with wildlife and free of highway noise. For visual artists there is the beauty of the Almaguin Highlands region without urban light pollution.
