This was my second time staying there, first was October 2024, I was glad it was available again this year. I liked location, the easy access, drive right to front door and open grounds with open grassed area and lawn chairs, easy to relax which is what I needed on both occasions because of family deaths. I will be returning next year to Ottawa from BC and the Inn will be the first place I look for accommodation.

I like that it was a quiet location but close to amenities. The ground outside were well keep with chairs to sit at to enjoy the outdoors. The bed was comfortable and so was the sofa to sit and watch TV. There were some hiccups with housekeeping but nothing that couldn't have been fixed.
