We have stayed at this property several times times. It is close enough to everything, but far enough away to give you total serenity in this little village. The host supply everything you need, and is super fast at replying, when you send her a message. You will love staying in this cute vintage Lustron home.

This was a great setting for our girls’ weekend. The house was so well-equipped and close to downtown Ottawa and the state parks. This was actually our second time here, and I don’t expect it’ll be the last!

The home was amazing. It was clean and the furnishings were outstanding. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen fully furnished. The Lustron home was unique. The proximity to multiple state parks made it ideal. The property was quiet and quite large. I'll be back.

Nice home away from home

Super nice property, with everything you need. Grand Ridge is a wonderful quiet town, close enough to everything, but far enough to give you some time to enjoy yourself. This vintage home was way ahead of its time, when it was built

Nights at a museum

Easy check in at this unique 1950s prefab bungalow. Enjoyed learning about history of this home from the book, pictures and other documents about Lustron on site. Plenty of nostalgia with all the modern comforts. Very clean and well stocked home. This was our first visit and will definitely come back.
