It was an awesome place to stay. The hosts were very friendly and helpful - and made a great breakfast - like blueberry pancakes with maple syrup. The location itself is very interesting an (I think) 12- or 16- sided cordwood house - very unique. Both the house&rooms as well as the garden were impeccably well-maintained. Would highly recommend.

This is a gem B&B hosted in an historic house. You are sharing the house with authentic Canadian hosts though you will have your own room and services. They will welcome you and prepare exquisite breakfasts and make you feel part of their family. Quintessential Canadian hospitality all year.

We stayed one night in the loon room downstairs, and our bathroom was upstairs. Both were very clean and spacious. Bed was very comfortable! The property and house were beautiful, but the most memorable part of our stay was meeting Annette, Al and their dog Ginger. Super kind and hospitable, would love to return for a longer stay in the future!

Rooms were beautifully decorated and spotless, the bed the most comfortable we have ever slept in. Beautiful and quiet location. The owners are artists and their work in on display. This is the nicest place we have stayed on our trip - too bad we were on our way home and couldn't stay longer.

We were looking at properties in the area and needed a place to stay overnight. Annette and Al were wonderful hosts and gave us the skinny on places to eat and nearby attractions. Not to mention that their property was gorgeous and a real treat to wake up in and go for a meander around the pond with a coffee.
