We stayed with Steven and Angela on August 27 and 28. We received a warm welcome in an enchanting and safe place. They made us feel like part of the family! This site is worth the detour to find a beautiful river for kayaking as well as beautiful bike routes. We hope to return in the near future.

A great stop between Kingston and Ottawa. The hosts were very accomodating and knowlegable of the area. The site felt like parking in the forest. We slep like babies and would definitely stay again.

Angela and Stephen were most welcoming. Their beautiful square log home with dormers is nestled in trees on a quiet country rd and is charming. The parking spot is in between tall cedars and is woodsy. Couldn't ask for more. They both were friendly and acommodating. Would most certainly come here again. Close to the quaint town of Almonte. Many thanks for a great stay. Ingrid and Joe

Our hosts at Ferguson’s Falls were very welcoming upon our arrival. This was our second stay at this quiet rural retreat. It was great catching up with our hosts and discussing events from our last visit a year ago. They are great hosts and have a lovely quiet and beautiful property in the country. We will be back!
