Can’t wait to go back

If you are looking for somewhere quiet and calm in an idyllic small town you’ve found your spot. The annex is a beautiful space wrapped around the side/back of a gorgeous old farm house. Full laundry, espresso machine, air conditioning amongst many many other wonderful amenities. Will definitely stay again!

Fine Stay in Merickville

Excellent location for visiting the surrounding area. Very quiet space with the occasional train going by, the sound of which we both enjoyed. Comfortable and nicely decorated living quarters with a very good bed. Could use a microwave, but no real loss. Really enjoyed our stay!

A perfect wedding day stay!

We booked The Annex as our wedding day getting ready space and night of stay. The space was clean and quaint, with a lot of charm just like the town of Merrickville! We had access to plenty of space for parking, and the check-in/check-out process was seamless. The kitchen area was a perfect space for my getting ready team (hair & makeup) and the upstairs lounge/bedroom/bathroom was laid out nicely for photos, while we each got into our dresses. Thank you for an unforgettable 2 night stay and for making our wedding day as perfect as it could be!

Sad

No where in the listing did it indicate that it is two-story, it didn't have everything that the listing claimed to have, the place was very filthy, dirty floors, spiderwebs in drawers, a very disgusting way to celebrate our first anniversary
