Cut short our stay due to the heat.

The location was convenient, and the accommodations were very nice. Unfortunately, we were unable to enjoy Peterborough during the heatwave.

It was the perfect place to stay when I needed to visit relatives in the area. Private, quiet, charming, well equipped and so much more. There is no question that I will recommend this property to anyone. To emphasize the charm is an understatement. You will not be disappointed. As a single or a couple this Air B&B is so special. I will definitely stay there again.

Very nice space inside with a comfy bed. Bathroom is very tiny and not accessible. Outside needs a little TLC, lots of pine needles and sap on the picnic table. Worth it for the price, quiet and private.
