Welcome to your luxury hotel room on an ultra-quiet tree-lined cul-de-sac close to downtown Port Hope. Relax and unwind in this calm, stylish bed-sitting room with private access and deck overlooking the garden and forested ravine. Includes in-suite kitchenette, 4-pc bath/shower and full laundry. A 12-minute walk brings you to dining, shops and services on the Ganaraska River. Winter & summer, parks, cross-country ski/hike trails, scenery, golf and the beach, are all within a short drive.
This cozy and quaint house was built in 1895 and has been fully upgraded over the years with hardwood floors and modern windows. The house was recently enlarged with a new guest room where I am looking forward to welcoming you. Your private entrance with deck faces north-east and overlooks the small lawn and garden with a maple tree. The space is flooded with natural light from French doors, a large window and a skylight, but room-darkening shades and draperies are installed for your comfort. Inside, watch TV and movies on a 48” wall-mounted TV with cablevision, Netflix, MLB baseball and other streaming services at the ready. Work, eat or play a game from the bookshelves at the small table and chairs, or relax in the luxury of the vintage Scandinavian leather recliner and footstool.
At check-in guests are provided with keys to the French doors on your private deck (or self-check-in with a code to the lockbox if I’m not here) so that you can come and go as you please.
I live on the premises and will be nearby most of the time and available in person or by cell phone if you have any questions. If you have free time, we may be able to have a visit and drinks on your deck or my living room or front porch.
Please Note: THERE IS A HOUSE CAT and guests do bring their pets. Please do not book my space if you are sensitive as I cannot guarantee that the unit is free from allergens.

The overall appearance: nicely decorated, very clean, looked very comfortable. However there were some problems that I could not overlook:1) Not able to access the WIFI - no password was provided2) Not able to view anything on the TV - we were required to sign in for every app that was listed.3) No contact telephone was provided4) The bathroom was very cold 5) The biggest concern AND it is a big one. It snowed on Sunday afternoon and into the night and 2 inches of snow was dumped on the steps and porch. No-one came to clear that off. I walk with a a cane so getting in and out of the house was very dangerous.

Dear Judy, I’m so sorry that your stay wasn’t up to expectations. You’re my first guest and it revealed there is much I haven’t thought of. Thank you for your honest review.
