We enjoy a fun, loving atmosphere, with music playing in the cottages and lots of laughter. Our grounds are lovely, with a beautifully trimmed lawn, shrubs, and raised flower beds. A pathway and small bridge connect Sweetgrass with Vanderwell Lodge next door. Our beautiful two-storey Independent Living community opened in summer 2015.
Enjoy a cruise-inspired experience where Sweet Grass becomes the destination. We’re bringing global flavours, culture, and connection to our communities, starting with the timeless beauty of Greece on March 11 at 1 PM, followed by the laid-back spirit of Hawaii on March 25 at 1 PM.
Contact Sweet Grass today to learn more about our upcoming Passport to Paradise experience and how you can be part of the journey. Discover the world with us, one destination at a time.
