"From the moment you arrive and are greeted by the beautiful Front Desk Manager aka POWWOW the Golden Retriever you know you have stumbled upon something special. This 150 year old property is situated on the most breathtaking view of the Rideau Canal, watch as boats enter and exit the locks. The owners, Jeff and Core do everything to make your stay comfortable and are always on site should you need anything. They are great Hosts and have done so much work (we stayed there last year and this year and they have been working tirelessly and it shows). The food, well I can tell you the snack shop breakfast sammies and world famous cookies are show stoppers, wide variety of ice cream for those taking a stroll. The greatest surprise this year is the expanded restaurant hours, patio fare and the amazing Sunday Brunch. We were very impressed by all the food and again these gentlemen put it all together themselves, always very hands on from greeting guests to preparing mouthwatering food. If you are local to the area, check out the restaurant/patio. They also offer docking for boaters. If you would like to step away from it all and totally relax then do yourself a favour and book a stay at this hidden gem. See you next year!!!!"
