Exceptional Stay & an Amazing HostDeborah is truly an outstanding host, and this place was top-notch in every way. I travel frequently with friends, family, and my beloved furbabies, and for me, the place and environment matter a lot. From the moment we arrived, it felt like home.We booked very last minute and were quite stressed, as we couldn’t secure anything until just a day prior. Deborah kindly accepted our booking and made everything absolutely perfect for us.Our group had different expectations, and this property met them all beautifully. I was looking for a serene, cozy space to relax, reset, and start the new year peacefully. My friends wanted a safe and comfortable environment for game nights and New Year celebrations without worry. My furbabies needed space to run, explore, and stay secure—and this place delivered on every front.Meeting the friendly horses was such a lovely experience, and the surroundings were simply beautiful.There was a small misunderstanding about the pool being open year-round, and Deborah handled it with complete understanding. She went above and beyond by offering sledding for our group of 10, which was incredibly thoughtful. We had an amazing day sledding down multiple hills while our furbabies safely enjoyed the space around us.This is by far one of the best places we have ever booked, and I would absolutely stay here again.Deborah, thank you for being such a wonderful host.

We had a great time. We were two families with 4 adults adn 4 kids and stayed for 1 week. The place was large and we were extremely comfortable. It's worth mentioning how clean the house was compared to other rentals that we have stayed at. The kitchen was very well stocked with basics as well as plenty of cooking items. The pool was amazing and was definitely the best part for us. They had so many pool toys, beach towels, and lawn games. The host, Deborah, was really wonderful. She communicated well and helped us with anything we needed. Deborah lives on the property and she opened and closed the pool every day. Even so, we never felt at any point that we were being monitored or anything like that. It felt very private, and we had the bonus of having someone help take care of things on a daily basis.We did a horse riding experience at the stables, which was wonderful. We also did some little excursions that the kids really enjoyed--the Peterborough Zoo, blueberry picking, and the Wutai Shen Temple. Shopping was easy with Peterborough and Millbrook so close, and Bethany is just 2 minutes away for basic general store needs. Would be more than happy to stay there again in the future.

I stayed with my grownup children & grandchildren and we had a fantastic time. Deborah was accessible when needed and easy to talk with. Loved the double pool and it was used constantly. Definitely would stay again.
