Rogue's Hollow Retreat

Welcome to Rogues Hollow Retreat. Looking for a romantic getaway or need a place to unwind from the hustle and bustle of your busy life? Perhaps a writing retreat is what you desire? We have just the place for you!

Built in the 1850’s, this 2 storey limestone home is rich in history and full of warmth and charm. Nestled in the historic village of Newburgh Ontario, (formerly known as Rogues Hollow) and sitting directly across from the Napanee River, this cozy two-bedroom home has just been renovated to include modern elements and conveniences while keeping the original character. Wide pine floor planks and inviting Persian rugs create a peaceful and inviting atmosphere. The recent renovation and design was completed by a former movie set decorator. The colours chosen help you flow from room to room while the lighting and decorating set the stage for a magical stay.

The fabulous, well-stocked kitchen incorporates original wainscoting, pine floors and pantry, while new butcher block counters, appliances and lighting provide all the modern conveniences of a top notch kitchen. A breakfast bar is situated so you can look out onto the backyard with your morning coffee and watch the bunnies and multitude of birdlife. Another lounge area in the kitchen invites you to sit and enjoy a cocktail while dinner cooks.

Walk through the 2.5 foot thick doorway into the open concept living and dining room filled with an abundance of natural light and warmth. Enjoy the oversized Montauk sofa, click on the gas fireplace and sit back and relax in cozy luxury. A dining table with 6 chairs awaits the sharing of intimate meals.
If you're arranging a surprise getaway (or proposal!) for your loved one and would like everything taken care of for you, we can help. From delivering chilled champagne and delicious appetizers, to gourmet dinners and romantic breakfasts, we can help set the scene, and make this a stay to remember!
