1 Bedroom House in Utterson

Stay-Relax-Rejuvenate: A luxurious retreat tucked into the trees, just minutes from downtown Huntsville. The Guest House is equipped with everything from a full kitchenette and fiber-optic internet to the wood for your private firepit.
We welcome up to two, 4 legged, well-behaved guests. Your dog (s) will love romping with our 2 Aussies and hiking the many pet-friendly hiking trails in the Huntsville area. We ask that during the initial introduction of your pets to our farm animals, you have them leashed. (this is for the protection of the goats and chickens) Once they meet and greet, in all likelihood, the leash can be dispensed with.
The Heating and Air Conditioning unit is an environmentally friendly heat pump system. It is a true revolution in year-round comfort.
The washroom has a glass shower, vanity and sink. The toilet is a Norwegian designed model called the "Cinderella". A truly unique design that is new to Canada.

Summary: Wow. I cannot overstate how great a time we had at the guest house! We loved the interior--the bed was comfy, the heating/fans worked perfectly, we had all the utensils and plates we needed, and the hosts provided delicious snacks. The exterior is absolutely gorgeous, especially at peak leaf season. We loved seeing the goats and chickens, meeting a very friendly dog, and the late-night campfires were heavenly. Our hosts were easy to get in touch with and very friendly. We will 100% be back. (One caveat: the toilet is a zero-water incinerator, and it took a bit of getting used to. I suspect young kids may find it challenging to use)

Summary: My husband and I so enjoyed our time in this special retreat. Because of the amenities, and the lovely autumn surrounding, this little cabin far exceeded any hotel room! It was wonderful having our dog Molly be part of this experience. Our host Jim, was very helpful and provided an interesting and personal connection. We could not have asked for anything more during our 3 night stay!

Summary: Beautiful, clean, peaceful little house. Comfortable and cozy with everything you’d need. Beautiful location close to town but doesn’t feel like it.

Summary: We absolutely loved our visit at Griffyn Ridge. The rental was large enough for our pack of people and pets and everything we needed was provided by Lynne and Jim. The surrounding space is quiet but close enough Huntsville to take advantage of the town offerings (shopping, hiking, etc.) Our privacy was respected, yet daily conversations with the owners and morning visits from their dogs were very much welcomed. Thanks again for the hospitality!

Summary: This is a small but perfectly formed property. The hosts have considered everything, even providing bikes, helmets, head torches and binoculars. The bed was comfortable and the space cosy. Sitting out on the porch listening to the birds singing when it’s raining is just bliss. Frankie and Willow the dogs come down for a visit and the hens and goats make this a very unique space.The hosts are lovely and I can highly recommend Gryffin Ridge.
