Wonderful property. The river was my personal favourite spot on the property. In the morning, I saw a gorgeous deep grazing in the wildflower field directly outside the main, big window.

House was very clean, there are a lot of rules and notes in every room, also a microwave in the kitchen would have been helpful.

Hello Beatrice, After being a host for three years I have noted the things that guests should be reminded to do or not to do. These notes are important. For example if the power goes off what to do and then friendly reminders to be aware of things that could be dangerous or damage the house. Most guests appreciate the guidance, and rarely some comment. I usally ask guests to read the amenities and house policies pages before I accept their booking request. I will take note to mention that a microwave is not provided (if it has not previously been mentioned). I found the last minute request to have hairdressers come to the house a bit much.

Peace and tranquility

My friend and I enjoyed our stay in this house in the countryside. So peaceful and quiet. A great place to disconnect and relax. If you can handle no wifi and limited cell service, or you’re actively seeking a digital detox, this place fits the bill. Perfect site for a retreat.

Disconnect and Reconnect at a Country Retreat

My partner and I spent a lovely four days in 5his impeccable country cottage. The natural setting in a rewilding field beside a forest and near a river afforded an abundance of wildlife -- from swallow tail butterflies, to trout, grouse, and nearly dozen mushroom varietals.

Bright, Beautiful and Sparkling Clean

Susan is a wonderful host who pays attention to details and makes sure you have everything you need to have a comfortable stay. Wake up to a clean, sunny, open space where you have all you need to make a good meal and then relax in this cozy home with a book or crossword. There's a nice trail on the property that you can use. It's a short car trip to Perth or Ottawa or just take in the natural loveliness of Lanark County. And if you're a neatnik like me, you will be more than happy with the cleanliness of this home. This is our second time at Teal Sky and it most certainly won't be our last. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could.

Bring your own towels!

Property and building were absolutely beautiful. The owner seems lovely. We saw 4 deer grazing outside while we were finishing up a late supper. However, bring your own towels. We casually read the listing and it lists towels in included amenities. Those are just hand towels. If you scan further down it tells you that you should bring your own bath towels! Another thing of note is the lengthy list of rules that the owner provides. I get it, they want to keep the property in as good a condition as possible for a long time. Still, it does detract from the enjoyment of the stay.

Hi Jarvis, I need to word our house policies so that guests are not overwhelmed. Exhaustively, if house requests are not mentioned, things in the house deteriorate quickly. Floors, window ledges, and new furniture are not easy to replace and guests like clean, proper things. It is through experience that the notes have been compiled. As hosts we have to preserve our investment for years to come.and also for future generations to enjoy.
