    Best Staycation in Stratford
    I am always impressed with the peace and quiet, even within the suite itself, I can not hear the person next door, or even the person in the bathroom. I love the trails and the trees, the fire beside the lake and the friendly staff.

    Great Stay
    Work was being done on the main building so they upgraded our room to a separate cabin at no extra charge. Owners were friendly and accommodating. Cabin had all the amenities with a wonderful view. We will be back.

    Excellent Relaxing Stay - Life IS Better By The Lake!
    We had a lovely stay! I LOVED the out door, private hot tub with the picture perfect view of the lake. Rooms were very clean and staff was extremely friendly. Had an excellent, relaxing weekend. 10/10!

    Cottage experience in the City
    Went for a hockey tournament. Kids had great freedom and tons of things to do. Families had bar be ques, and sat by the fires at night. Location was under ten minutes to all arenas. 2 minutes to all stores and restaurants. Breakfast was GREAT!!!

    How far away from the Avon Theater are you? What room do you recommend for best view/quietness? Is there an area "old village" or something like that? Thanks for your help
    We are a 7-8 minute drive from the Avon Theatre. All the rooms have a view of the lake or the forest. The McCarthy House has two queen beds, fireplace, kitchenette, BBQ and has just been renovated. McCarthy House has two rooms that are further around the lake from the main building. These two rooms have the option of using a private salt water hot tub that is located on your deck,

    Do you have suites? That is a living room kind of space with one or more bedrooms where 4 or 5 people could comfortably talk in private?
    We do have a king suite and a queen suite. They each have a sitting area with a pullout couch, table and chairs.

    "We have enjoyed our accommodation in both the Motel section and the B&B. Both have been equally clean and comfortable."
    "Envelope provided..A nice touch. We left 10$"
    "I believe the King beds are a little harder, we had the doubles...which were a little softer. We slept well. "
    "Lower number room like 10 is closer to breakfast nook which may be noisy in the morning."
    "Don;t change a thing!"
