My friend and I always do a girls getaway jaunt to Collingwood in the fall. By chance we came about on the internet the Joseph Lawrence House. We decided to try this historic home as a bed and breakfast for our Saturday night. They were so gracious and kind to us like, we were one of their family members. I... More

We had a great stay at the Joseph Lawrence House. Janet and Darrell were very helpful in suggesting places to visit and restaurants to enjoy - wonderful ambassadors for the Collingwood area. The house was beautiful, quiet and within walking distance to the downtown and local historic sites. Breakfast was beautifully presented and very delicious with fresh local ingredients. We... More

My husband and I took a mini vacation in Collingwood to attend the spa. We stayed at the Joseph Lawrence house: The house and hosts were amazing. The house is beautiful and spotless as well.. Our hosts were very friendly and breakfast was not only delicious but the conversation was wonderful. Will stay there again whenever we go to Collingwood.... More

I am a weary traveller of 30 years on the road. I had the opportunity of staying with Janet and Darrell Reeder in their exquisite B&B. If passion and purpose of the proprietors were the measurement for chosing one B&B from another I have no hesitation in stating that Joseph Lawrence House is No 1 on any travellers list of... More

Old Victorian house exquisitely restored and appropriately decorated. Ample, tasty, breakfasts -- more than we expected. Mild, fresh-roasted house-blend coffee. Pleasant, knowledgeable conversation and informed recommendations. Relaxed, unhurried atmosphere. Easy walk to historic downtown, maybe 5 blocks away. Beautiful, peaceful, carefully tended gardens. Best B&B we have ever stayed at!

My sister-in-law and I had a most relaxing stay at this beautifully appointed Victorian home. As the owner of a century property, I appreciated the time and effort that goes into the research and purchase of period light fixtures, furniture, glassware and decorating. The house is spotlessly clean and our room was extremely comfortable, including freshly ironed sheets on our... More

After speaking with Darrrell when I booked this B&B, I knew we were in for a good time. Upon arrival, we were shown our room, then invited to join the other guests and the hosts downstairs. We did, and enjoyed tea, sweets and conversation. The area has lots of choices for dinner and the B&B has a notebook filled with... More

This was my first trip to Collingwood and I'm glad I chose this B&B. The home is beautiful and the rooms are spacious and charmingly decorated. The breakfast was fabulous and filling (no need for lunch!). The hosts were so friendly and generous with their time. They steered me to the best sites in town. I plan on returning to... More

This Bed and Breakfast is a Heritage Home and the 'flavour' is reflected everywhere. The rooms are very comfortable and well appointed. My friend and I particularly enjoy relaxing on the verandah, overlooking the tranquil gardens, with a cold drink and a good book. The breakfasts are prepared and presented in a manner that is truly impressive. The hosts, Darrel... More
