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!

Al & Annette were incredible hosts! The property is truly astounding; and the structure of the cabin was astounding! This place is truly a hidden gem, I wish that I was able to stay longer, but granted the opportunity I'll definitely be back! P.s. You never lived till you had Al's blueberry pancakes - they're to die for!

This was a lovely B&B run by the sweetest couple! From the moment we arrived, we felt like a part of the family. The room was spacious and beautiful, the property was spectacular, and the breakfast was the most delicious I've ever had. We will definitely stay here again, and we recommend staying here to everyone.

For my wife and I, the major factor with a B&B is the hosts. Al and Annette were wonderful. And with just an overnight stay we came away smiling, rested, and pleased...:)

Unique roundhouse construction and great hosts who make your stay enjoyable, share details about the construction and are happy to give tips on the area. They won't let you leave hungry either. We reserved two side-by-side rooms for a family of four. If you find yourself in the area or perhaps taking the scenic route to/from Ottawa - this is an interesting and friendly place to visit for a night or two. We visit this area each summer and will be back.
