Escape to the Country! Sleeps 4

Located in the historic hamlet of Thomasburg, Ontario, discovered by the 3 Thomas' due to the crystal clear spring that runs through the village. Ideally located 2 mins from Vanderwater Conservation Area with walking and ski trails and the Moira River rapids. 7 mins north is the town of Tweed, home of the famous world renowned Elvis Festival and the Havelock Country Jamboree. Also located in Tweed, Stocko Lake is well known as a popular fishing destination for monster muskie, though you are more likely to hook a walleye, black crappie, or smallmouth or largemouth bass.

Located 20 mins from Belleville, 1 hour from Kingston and 55 mins from Sandbanks (Picton) beaches.

Character house with original wood beams and breakfast counter looking out to beautiful cedar trees, home to a variety of birds. Visit the neighbouring farm's pigs and chickens. Newly renovated bathroom, kitchen and bedrooms, decorated in country charm. Relax in the evening under the stars by the outdoor fire pit with the sounds of the crickets and frogs.
Includes 2 bedrooms with double beds. Children welcome! Wifi

We look forward to having you escape to the country!

Nice
It was a little musty when we first arrived but opened everything up and cleared up in no time. Quiet as both neighbouring properties were being renovated. There was an obviously half blind and homeless cat hanging around ( because all the birds) felt bad for him fed him. It was private and quiet no one bothered us overall enjoyed our stay

Not Peaceful
Cabin well cared for and clean 👍However misinformed on my peace & quiet cabin request, also the beach photo in old ad was to be our 1st day trip. So to find out it was a private beach after driving to location very dissapointing. Traffic flow past the house more often then not. Also traffic coming down the hill past house goes by very fast day & night. For anyone with little ones just an fyi.. Photos have been added and 1 taken down (my request)since my stay. So you now can see see the whole place. Their is a group home next door for Autistic Adults, the only reason I know this is because one of the employees introduced himself to me day 2 to advise that we may hear banging or screaming. Which we had heard the night before but could not understand. Now we do. The traffic was worse, Also another fyi any conservation sites listed in this ad for nearby attractions. Please make sure you purchase a permit prior to going We drove a extra hr and a bit 1 way to be turned away from the 1st conservation site in his list, because we didn't know about this permit purchase. Would have been great to see that information in his ad. If your simply looking for Peace & quiet this is not the place to stay I only had a 3 day holiday. Very dissapointing.

The house was very clean and very nice bedding but the floors were sloped and the whole house seemed to be crooked. Otherwise everything was wonderful. The hosts were very prompt responding to emails and extra towels and things were all in place. Very clean!

The little house has everything you need, no worries if you forget to bring something other than your food, personal belongings or stuff, which demonstrates the owners’ consideration and care to provide convenience to guests travelling from far away. Bonus is that you can watch through big kitchen window birds feeding and bathing while having food or drink at the kitchen counter. I saw around 5-6 different kinds of birds visiting. There may be more if you watch longer. And you can lit bonfire in the backyard in the evening. And you will see many aged but purposely preserved stuff in and outside of the house, witnessing a rich heritage and family history shared to all the honoured guests with abundant hospitality offered by the Brown’s. Certain parts of the property will definitely make you experience a great sense of history and a break away from the modern life (a life style within the span of last 10 to 20 years). In general it is a combination of city and countryside, modern and ancient, convenience and leisure.. Of course the owner couple are so easy to communicate, so ready to help. We didn’t have a chance to meet them in person, but limited times of e communications showed they were responsive, clear, polite, caring and welcoming. I am sure they would effectively solve all my requests or inquiry with any property or utensils concerns. We had no such issues during our stays though. They trust you in every aspect while you stay. Feel staying at your own home, use everything you need as you wish at all your freedom (but not in abusive manner, this we all know as responsible adults). Thank you, Jim and Rebecca for sharing your memory and family heritage, ease and convenience to travellers. We hope to visit your little historical home in the future.

Probably the poorest property that I have booked through VRBO. An attempt at renovating has been made but poor material choice and exceptionally poor workmanship makes a very poor impression.

Nice place and fulfilled our needs just fine but was ten minutes further from our destination than reported in the online listing.
