The Granary flat is located inside of a historic stone mill on the shoreline of Bay of Quinte, Lake Ontario. With exposed beams and stone walls, this unique space has a lot of character and a rustic feel.
Watch the Glenora Ferry pass by throughout the day, take a walk up to Lake on the Mountain Provincial Park where you can enjoy the breathtaking water views or pop over to the resort to grab a pint and a delicious meal at the two waterfront restaurants and brewery.
The Glenora Mill was built in 1806 as a five-storey stone grist mill, located on the shore of Adolphus Reach on the Bay of Quinte. It is the second mill that was built on the property, replacing the original 1792 mill. Its history connects with many properties along the shoreline, as well as Lake on the Mountain. We have included a printed book of the first 228 years of its history in the flat for you to learn more about how this property came to be.
The Granary Flat inside the mill is our first pilot as a short-term rental. The goal is to continue to renovate this space and open more guest flats over time. This building requires special attention to restore and the owners plan to continuously upgrade this flat and the entirety of the building to share its full potential with our guests.
When you enter the flat, you'll be welcomed by the water view, beautiful stone walls and wood stove in the living room. This space also doubles as a sleeping area with a futon that can be folded down into a bed. Just off the living room is the dining room with seating for four, a workspace with a desk, and a cozy reading area. The kitchen includes a stove/oven, full size fridge, microwave and cookware to prepare your favourite meal. Just off the kitchen is the bedroom, which includes a queen bed and views of the lake. There is one full bathroom with a stand-up shower, no tub. The outdoor area just outside of this flat on the way to the entrance is available to guests to lounge by the firepit, dine, cook and enjoy the views privately.
Please also note that a complimentary Seasonal Sandbanks Beach Pass is included with every stay to give you free access to the Sandbanks beaches.
The flat is self-check-in so you can come and go as you please within the check-in and check-out time frames using the door code provided to you. We will not intrude on your getaway, however, should you find yourself in need of something, please do not hesitate to contact us. This flat is on the main floor of the mill. Other flats are being renovated for additional guests and some units are reserved for the owner's family use and a long term tenant so you may see other people around but they won't interfere with your specific guest areas. The waterfront is a shared space.
Please note there is an outdoor camera facing the driveway to monitor snowfall, snow removal by the municipality and landscaping remotely.
