Description
The Waterfall Retreat
The perfect year round spot for relaxation, outdoor activities, nature/bird watching, a home base for sightseeing in this popular tourist area or all of the above!
Winter/Spring Special! Third night complimentary with any two night booking for stays between November 1 through April 30 subject to availability.
*PLEASE ONLY BOOK 2 NIGHTS AND I WILL GIVE YOU THE EXTRA NIGHT ON MY END. TELL ME IN YOUR MESSAGE WHICH NIGHTS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BOOK*
WAIVER:
A waiver must be signed upon arrival due to the inherent dangers associated with being near the water, for use of watercraft and bicycles and also to state that you are not exhibiting symptoms or are testing positive for Covid 19.
OVERVIEW:
An early 1800's stone mill sits on an island in the Salmon River between two one lane bridges. A waterfall on either side, weeping willow trees swaying in the breeze, the river alive with wildlife, a variety of birds and bountiful gardens completes the picture.
Our Mill property has two suites for rent. You are viewing the Waterfall Retreat on the lower river level of the mill which has a private entrance.
Our mill is located in the very picturesque and historic hamlet of Lonsdale which has been the subject of many artists and photographers.
SELF CATERING:
This is a self catering rental as we do not provide meals. The full kitchen is equipped with pots/pans, cooking tools, cutlery, etc, everything you'll need to prepare your own meals indoors or outside. We do provide you with coffee, teas, coffee cream and all the basic condiments and spices for your convenience. We encourage you to bring some food with you to start out as there are no grocery stores in the immediate area.
DESCRIPTION OF SUITE:
The space is well appointed with authentic rustic charm and many custom features, original mill artifacts and eclectic and antique touches. The full kitchen features a 1930's porcelain sink brought from the mill owner's house, an antique dish cupboard, antique oak counter originally from the Kingston Whig Standard Newspaper office and custom cut granite. The bathroom boasts a vessel sink and a custom tile and limestone shower with glass sliding door and oil rubbed bronze fixtures. There are two comfy reclining chairs for watching t.v. in the sitting area and large limestone window sills in the three windows which look right out onto the river and waterfalls. The bedroom area is a cozy space with a custom made farmhouse queen size bed, a memory foam mattress, fine linens, an exposed original limestone wall and an electric fireplace for extra coziness. The 42 inch Fire television with Netflix and Prime is on a swivel and can be viewed from either the bedroom or the living area. Original hand-hewn beamed ceilings and original mill doors as well as other mill artifacts adorn the space. A private patio with a Weber Spirit II barbeque, chimnea and a dining area complete with cushioned, swivel chairs is situated right outside your door at the water’s edge.
AMENITIES:
The Waterfall Suite is situated right at the river's edge with a patio by the waterfalls for dining and relaxing. Kayaks, a canoe, motorized peddle boat and touring bicycles are all available free of charge to our guests from Victoria Day weekend to Thanksgiving weekend and a riverside hot tub under the stars is available year round for which you have private hours. A Provincial Parks Pass is also complimentary for use throughout your stay from May 1 to the end of October. With waterfront on three sides, you'll likely want to spend some time on the river. It is usually high and quite fast until May and then quietens for relaxing paddles or peddles throughout the summer months and early fall. Only seasoned paddlers should use the river in May and we will only offer use of the boats at this time of year at our discretion. Swimming depends on the river levels which depends on the amount of rainfall. We reserve the right to limit or prohibit boat, bicycle or hot tub use if we deem necessary for any reason.
All our amenities are fully complimentary. One bucket of wood is provided each day. Additional wood may be purchased at five dollars per bucket. You can also pick some fresh organic veggies ( in season) from our vegetable garden to complement your meals.
