We will be coming back

It was a very calm picturesk location where you will find yourself wondering about days gone by, and rest in the breeze. Horseback riding was a highlight for the teens. Local sights and downtown Merrickville are worth it. Thank you Jake and the fam for everything. The Auger's

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.
