Outstanding stay at Gryffin Ridge

We could not have asked for a better stay or host! Jim and Lynne welcomed us from the first minute we arrived and made us feel like old friends. The guest suite, the hobby farm, the welcoming dogs and the more than gracious hosts made for a memorable and delightful, relaxing stay. These are two professional hosts who do it right. We can't wait to come back some day.

Perfect Thanksgiving Get-away

My husband and I so enjoyed our time in this special retreat. Because of the amenities, and the lovely autumn surrounding, this little cabin far exceeded any hotel room! It was wonderful having our dog Molly be part of this experience. Our host Jim, was very helpful and provided an interesting and personal connection. We could not have asked for anything more during our 3 night stay!

The Oasis at Gryffin Ridge

A lovely little cottage - looks like it could be featured in a designer magazine - impeccably kept. Comfortable and cozy. Sweet and adorable pet farm with goats and chickens. Excellent furry friends Willow and Frankie - just to die for. Will definitely be back!

Peace and Tranquility

We absolutely loved our visit at Griffyn Ridge. The rental was large enough for our pack of people and pets and everything we needed was provided by Lynne and Jim. The surrounding space is quiet but close enough Huntsville to take advantage of the town offerings (shopping, hiking, etc.) Our privacy was respected, yet daily conversations with the owners and morning visits from their dogs were very much welcomed. Thanks again for the hospitality!

Weekend getaway

My wife and I travelled to the Huntsville area to hike for a weekend in the spring. 30+ reviewers didn’t get it wrong with their 5-star reviews… Beautiful location, very serene; well-maintained, well-appointed and very comfortable guest cottage that was perfect for a weekend trip for two. We also loved the goats, chickens and dogs. Super hospitality and communication/responsiveness. Lynne and Jim went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed for a wonderful stay.

Above and beyond!!

Jim and Lynne are super friendly and welcoming, they touched based to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The cabin is extremely well appointed and has everything you need and more, the fresh eggs from the hobby farm chickens were a lovely touch and we enjoyed them for breakfast. Gryffin Ridge is delightful, if you’re in need of somewhere to relax and reset, read a book or generally disconnect from the routine of your life then this is the place.

Peace and tranquility awaits

This is a small but perfectly formed property. The hosts have considered everything, even providing bikes, helmets, head torches and binoculars. The bed was comfortable and the space cosy. Sitting out on the porch listening to the birds singing when it’s raining is just bliss. Frankie and Willow the dogs come down for a visit and the hens and goats make this a very unique space.The hosts are lovely and I can highly recommend Gryffin Ridge.

Blew our expectations!

Lynne and Jim went above and beyond what one might expect from even the most hospitality oriented rental property owners. They are truly generous and wonderful humans with a keen interest in making your stay as comfortable as possible. Their property (interior and environment) is also EPIC - so much to take in and we wish we had another week to fully take it all in. We look forward to our next Muskoka escape to the magical Gryffin Lodge. Ps. Can't forget about Willow, Frankie, the Goats and Chickens, all of which enriched an already amazing experience.

Absolutely incredible

Wow. I cannot overstate how great a time we had at the guest house! We loved the interior--the bed was comfy, the heating/fans worked perfectly, we had all the utensils and plates we needed, and the hosts provided delicious snacks. The exterior is absolutely gorgeous, especially at peak leaf season. We loved seeing the goats and chickens, meeting a very friendly dog, and the late-night campfires were heavenly. Our hosts were easy to get in touch with and very friendly. We will 100% be back. (One caveat: the toilet is a zero-water incinerator, and it took a bit of getting used to. I suspect young kids may find it challenging to use)
