Perfect for our family vacation

We were looking for a place to stay for a long weekend with family, and this was better than any we found from the listing alone. Upon arrival the building itself was an amazing piece of history, and despite being 200 years old it was the cleanest and best equipped vrbo we've stayed at. Everything you could need for an amazing vacation, from the kitchen to the dock, was here. Thanks to the owner Jake for the stay, we will definitely be coming back.

We had a lovely time staying at the property. There was so much character in this beautiful, old home. Each bedroom was spacious and the bathrooms were recently renovated. There was lots of social spaces and we really enjoyed sitting on the deck looking at the stars. The check-in and our processes were easy and we loved that there were so many little touches that made the stat super notable, like coffee, sugar, condiments and laundry soap. We would absolutely stay here again.

It was chilly in the house but to be fair we were there on one of the coldest nights of the year. Below -30C. Would definitely recommend. In fact, one of our group will be booking a family trip there soon.

The beautiful Christmas decorations, the charm of this heritage house combined with modern renovations made this a perfect place for our family get together. The home came equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. This is our favorite VRBO that we have stayed in by far! A beautiful location and close enough to Ottawa and the surrounding communities. The owners were able to answer any questions that we may have immediately. We can't thank them enough for allowing us to stay in this beautiful home!
