A registered Heritage Property built in the 1860s, this centrally located inn, a block from the waterfront, is furnished with antiques and original oil paintings. Several rooms have ornate fireplaces and some feature 12-foot ceilings. Libraries on both guest floors have a selection of reading matter (take one or leave one), and the deck dotted with plants is a great place to relax. Mountain bikes are available for guests to use.
Colorful gardens border the driveway leading up to this 1890 home that is convenient to Parrsboro but also a great choice for active visitors—the hosts can organize golfing, kayaking, and hiking experiences for you. Antique furnishings, hardwood floors, and five fireplaces are a testament to its Victorian vintage, yet modern amenities ensure you never feel cut off from the present. The 2½-acre property is ideal for strolling, and guests often relax on the front lawn or the marvelous veranda.
In a superb natural setting, with a choice of lodge rooms or secluded chalets and cottages, this place pairs an away-from-it-all location with a wide range of activities. The Liscomb River provides the setting for boating, swimming, and bird-watching, and lacing the property are 16 km (10 miles) of wooded and riverside trails for hiking. Tennis and a heated pool are both on-site, and you can bike here. Once you've worked up an appetite, the Riverside Dining Room offers a broad menu based on fresh local ingredients. Most cottages and chalets have fireplaces and verandas.
