"Outstanding hostess with attention to every detail. I will definitely be staying there again if Im out that way."

"This was the perfect location for our goal to unplug and get into nature for a long weekend with all the hiking and nature nearby. The house was roomy and had everything we needed to cook and relax and spend time together. Elaine was the perfect host. The property was spotlessly clean. All the little details were appreciated. "

Whatever you might need is a short distance away, but you are far enough away in a very quiet neighborhood. "

"We really enjoyed this place, the river views were great!"

"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!"
