Winter/Spring Special! Third night complimentary with any two night booking for stays between November 1 through April 30 subject to availability. *PLEASE ONLY BOOK 2 NIGHTS AND THE EXTRA NIGHT WILL BE ADDED ON OUR END. TELL US IN YOUR MESSAGE WHICH NIGHTS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BOOK*
The perfect year round getaway for relaxation, nature/bird watching, and central to Prince Edward County, Kingston and the 1000 Islands and Quinte tourist areas.
We offer complimentary water crafts, bicycles and a Provincial Parks Pass Victoria Day to Thanksgiving and a year round hot tub with private use hours.
We are a retired couple and also reside at the mill. There is one other rental suite on the 3rd floor as well.
WAIVER:
A waiver must be signed upon arrival due to the inherent dangers associated with being near the water, for use of watercraft, hot tub and bicycles.
OVERVIEW:
An early 1800's stone mill sits on an island in the Salmon River between two one lane bridges. A waterfall on either side, weeping willow trees swaying in the breeze, the river alive with wildlife, a variety of birds and bountiful gardens completes the picture.
You are viewing the Waterfall Retreat, an eclectic 525 square foot studio suite on the river, lower level of the mill which has a private entrance.
Our mill is located in the very picturesque and historic hamlet of Lonsdale which has been the subject of many artists and photographers.
SELF CATERING:
This is a self catering rental as we do not provide meals. The full kitchen is equipped with pots/pans, cooking tools, cutlery, etc, everything you'll need to prepare your own meals indoors or outside. We do provide you with coffee, teas, coffee cream and all the basic condiments and spices for your convenience. We encourage you to bring some food with you to start out as there are no grocery stores in the immediate area.
BUYING GROCERIES:
There is a Metro, No Frills and a Walmart grocery store in Napanee, a 15 minute drive east. Many grocery stores are located in Belleville, 20 minutes west. There are also grocery stores in Picton, 30 minutes south.
DESCRIPTION OF SUITE:
The space is well appointed with authentic rustic charm and many custom features, original mill artifacts and eclectic and antique touches. The full kitchen features a 1930's porcelain sink brought from the mill owner's house, an antique dish cupboard, antique oak counter originally from the Kingston Whig Standard Newspaper office and custom cut granite. The bathroom boasts a vessel sink and a custom tile and limestone shower with glass sliding door and oil rubbed bronze fixtures. There are two comfy reclining chairs for watching t.v. in the sitting area and large limestone window sills in the three windows which look right out onto the river and waterfalls. The bedroom area is a cozy space with a custom made farmhouse queen size bed, a memory foam mattress, fine linens, an exposed original limestone wall and an electric fireplace for extra coziness. The 42 inch Fire television with Netflix and Prime is on a swivel and can be viewed from either the bedroom or the living area. Original hand-hewn beamed ceilings and original mill doors as well as other mill artifacts adorn the space. A private patio with a Weber barbeque, chimnea and a dining area complete with cushioned, swivel chairs is situated right outside your door at the water’s edge.
AMENITIES:
The Waterfall suite is situated right at the river's edge with a patio by the waterfalls for dining and relaxing. Kayaks, a canoe, motorized peddle boat, paddleboard, outdoor shower and touring bicycles are all available free of charge to our guests from mid May until Thanksgiving and a riverside hot tub under the stars is available year round for which you have private times on all the odd numbered hours. A Provincial Parks Pass is also complimentary. With waterfront on three sides, you'll likely want to spend some time on the river. It is usually high and quite fast until May and then quietens for relaxing paddles or peddles throughout the summer months and early fall. Only seasoned paddlers should use the river in May and we will only offer use of the boats at this time of year at our discretion. Swimming depends on the river levels which depends on the amount of rainfall. We reserve the right to limit or prohibit boat, bicycle or hot tub use if we deem necessary for any reason.
All our amenities are fully complimentary. One bucket of wood is provided each day for use in the chimnea or firepit by the dock. Additional wood may be purchased at five dollars per bucket. You can also pick some fresh organic veggies ( in season) from our vegetable garden to complement your meals.
Enjoying nature is the main occupation here. It is the river that gives this place it's magical vibe and brings the wildlife in abundance for our pleasure. Bring your camera! Great Blue Herons, Song Birds, Eagles, Osprey, Otters, Beavers, Muskrats, Geese, Ducks, Turtles and yes even snakes are all happy to call the island and the surrounding river home. (Do not interfere with the wildlife and they will not interfere with you.) A motorized peddle boat ride at sunrise or sunset is absolutely magical! The grounds are full of flowers and birds chirping and the sound of the waterfalls makes this an ideal spot to just kick back and enjoy.
FALL AND WINTER AT THE MILL:
In the cooler months of the year, enjoy the outdoor all season hot tub under the stars by the river and waterfall. There are many walking/hiking trails in the area and wineries in Prince Edward County that are open in the off season and many other seasonal attractions in our area during the cooler months.
