(Bed & Breakfast) ~ Private Mountain Dream Retreat

Come experience a one‑of‑a‑kind mountain cabin retreat, nestled in the forest and surrounded by wildlife and peaceful natural beauty. It’s close to everything—but feels wonderfully secluded.

Start each day with a freshly made, warm, and hearty breakfast—served every morning and included with your stay.

We love living here and enjoy sharing our home with visitors from around the world. We look forward to making each guest's stay as comfortable, memorable, and unforgettable as possible.

ABOUT THE PLACE:

The Space:

Our home strikes the perfect balance between accessibility and tranquility—just minutes from the highway yet so peaceful you won’t hear traffic. Instead, you’ll be serenaded by birdsong and forest sounds—and you might even see deer strolling through the yard!

Guest Information & Amenities:

* Cat on Property: We have a sweet, senior cat who lives upstairs and is usually content in our private space—though he sometimes wander downstairs. We mention this for allergy awareness—most guests with mild sensitivities are fine, but please check with your doctor if needed.

* Laundry: Available for guests at $10 CAD per load for stays shorter than 2 nights. For stays of 3 nights or more, laundry use is free of charge for the first load and $10 after that. Please refrain from using the washer and dryer after 10:00 PM to respect quiet hours. Payment can be made by cash, e-transfer, or added as an extra charge through Airbnb.

* Hot Breakfast Included: Enjoy a hearty, home-cooked breakfast—served at a time that fits your schedule. Just let us know your preferred timing and any dietary preferences or allergies in advance.

* Infants under 2 stay free: We understand little ones often skip breakfast—or share a parent’s plate—given our hearty morning offerings. However, if your infant would like their own meal, just let us know. We can prepare an age-appropriate breakfast for $15, payable by cash, e-transfer, or added to your Airbnb booking.

* Group Size: More than four guests? Please message in advance—we’re happy to accommodate.
