It is a beautifully welcoming Heritage home with all of the ammenities to run like an efficient household during the visit. The outdoor space is exceptional with the wrap around deck and the second floor patio complete with a gazebo offering a beautiful veiw of the Rideau Canal. Definitly a highlight. The Host is tentative and available at all times.

Our host was most accommodating and pleasantly checked in with us throughout the week. Our tour of the stables was custom-tailored for our two toddlers The 200-year-old stone house was beautiful - a bit chilly and draughty for -15oC weather, though

Thank you for your review and for staying with us. I’m sorry to hear the house felt cold. Had I been aware, I could have increased the temperature remotely, and I encourage guests to reach out anytime so we can ensure the best possible stay

Tim booked our Heritage Stone house for his work crew that was completing a job in the area. His employees were respectful of the house rules and did a great job cleaning up after their stay. I’d welcome any future work crews looking for accommodation in the area to stay here.

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.

Unfortunately, we never found time to take advantage of all the amenities, but to unwind at the end of our busy days by relaxing under the stars in the quiet on the expansive upper and lower decks was magical. Everything we needed was there.

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.

The host was responsive when we contacted him. All amenities were great. Well stocked (condiments, spices, coffee). Extra linens, kleenex, toilet paper. Very appreciated. 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.

Beautiful and family friendly

We really enjoyed our stay! Gorgeous old house with so much original character. Lots for kids to do right out the back door. We also took advantage of the horseback riding offered by the host just down the road - the kids loved it. :) Well supplied with enough of everything (bedding, chairs, hot water, etc) for our group of 9.
