A Statement from The Timber Walk

A Statement from The Timber Walk

Construction of The Timber Walk is continuing. August 25, 2026 There has been considerable discussion recently about my plans for The Timber Walk, and I believe it is important to clearly explain where things stand. I will continue construction of Birchwood Cottage. As was always the plan, before proceeding with any additional development or construction, I will obtain the approvals and permits required by the applicable authorities. I understand that some of my neighbours disagree with my plans. They have every…

The Beginnings of a Boardwalk

The Beginnings of a Boardwalk

The vision for The Timber Walk includes a boardwalk that weaves between the trees to connect the dwellings and common areas throughout the property. It’ll be built in phases as we go. The first little bit is a 30-foot ramp leading from the parking area to the workshop, then a bit of wrap-around deck which will later continue toward Birchwood Cottage. The finishing touch was a carved sign created by my dad.

The Person Behind The Timber Walk

The Person Behind The Timber Walk

Hi, I’m Daniel Mark. The Timber Walk started with a piece of forest in a quaint rural subdivision, a lot of ideas, and a belief that there was an opportunity to create something special in this quiet corner of New Brunswick. I’ve spent much of my adult life building things in one way or another. For more than two decades, I served as an officer in the Canadian Armed Forces, where I learned a lot about leadership, responsibility, planning and,…

Slow Camping at The Timber Walk: Time Unrushed, Fires Unhurried

Slow Camping at The Timber Walk: Time Unrushed, Fires Unhurried

In a world that moves too fast, camping often ends up feeling like another race — rushing to pack the car, claim a site, set up the tent before dark, and squeeze “rest” into a weekend that feels anything but restful. Slow camping is the opposite of that. It’s not about doing less; it’s about doing things with intention. You don’t go to check off a destination. You go to stay a while, listen longer, and notice what happens when you let…

Introducing the Future Retreat Spaces of The Timber Walk

Introducing the Future Retreat Spaces of The Timber Walk

There’s a moment in creating a place like The Timber Walk when everything shifts from plans to a real destination. Even before any structures rise from the forest floor, giving them names makes the place feel alive. Inspired by the woods, wildlife, and the peaceful nature of Lower Greenwich, these future accommodations already have identities that reflect the spirit of this New Brunswick forest retreat. Today, I’m excited to share the official names of the spaces that will one day…

Built by Local Hands: The Timber Walk’s New Brunswick Roots

Built by Local Hands: The Timber Walk’s New Brunswick Roots

The Timber Walk isn’t just a collection of cabins near Saint John, New Brunswick — it’s a forest retreat built by local skill, vision, and hard work. Every board, beam, and bolt tells a story of New Brunswick craftsmanship. From the sawmills that cut the spruce to the tradespeople who wire, plumb, and shape the spaces, this project exists because of the businesses that call this region home. When visitors stay in one of our simple, modern cabins or glamp beneath the…
