YOUR HOSTS JULIE & GARY
The Old Mill Manor became a temporary vacation rental in 2015 while it was listed for sale. The goal was to sell everything & live on a sailboat. The house did not sell but we continued to rent it while we sailed from Port Stanley to lake Eerie down the ICW to the Bahamas & then back to Indian Town Marina in Florida. The cat & I are very relieved to be back on solid ground. After living in a small space for 8 months, every room got a makeover. King size beds, antique dishes, dining room table, 2 couches, patio furniture. All the stuff you can't have when you're on a boat.
The Old Mill Manor is a side by side duplex. The large 6 bedroom side is the 2.5 story side of the home with the large front patio. Our side is the 1.5 story beside the garage. If you need us, we're close by. Both sides of the home are completely separate including yards & entrances. You get exclusive use of the pool, hot tub, docks, kayaks etc.
THE MANOR STAFF are SUPER HOSTS
1) Gary is the onsite gardener & building maintenance man. He's in charge of the pool, hot tub, fire pit, BBQ & internet. In his spare time, Gary can teach you how to cast a line to catch more fish or kayak. Gary spent the last 30 years managing restaurants & hotels. 2) Julie will book your stay & suggest fun in town activities like tours, restaurants & catering.
3) Dania is our excellent cleaner with & a good eye for detail.
4) LG the talkative tabby cat is our "Guest Greeter". She loves people & children & roaming the gardens. If you're allergic to cats, don't worry she does not enter the vacation rental side of the home.
5) Carleton Place Dry Cleaners handles all laundry.
GUEST COMMENTS
A Birder's Paradise, Flo & Gary Hayes
October 2012-2014
We began our retirement adventures with a two year rental & miss it very much since moving back to the US. Moving out of the city (Westboro, Ottawa) to the picturesque village of Appleton, and overlooking the pretty little Mississippi River was an amazing change of scenery and lifestyle, but I was also surprised and overjoyed at the variety of birds.
Even without feeders, which we eventually put up, we were visited by longtime favourites: cardinals, chickadees, blue jays, juncos and redpolls (winter), house finches, mourning doves, hairy and downy woodpeckers, crows and ravens, but not so many blackbirds and no pigeons or house sparrows!
We were happy to observe less frequent city residents such as Orioles, warblers, wrens, purple finches, nuthatches, flycatchers, a great variety of the smaller sparrows (white throated, white crowned, song, chipping and on), pine siskins, catbirds, flickers, pileated woodpeckers, and so many hummingbirds. Occasionally a wild turkey or two would wander close. And over two winters there were snowy owls in the area.
We had occasional visits from birds, some of which I had never seen before: indigo buntings, rose breasted grosbeaks, Carolina wrens (whose beautiful song I taped).
With the river in front and a bay along the side, I took interest in water birds. Kingfishers, osprey and great blue herons found good fishing, and for a few weeks we had a large flock of the smaller green herons. There were the usual mallards, Canada geese, seagulls, but ducks I had never seen before, including golden eye and the beautiful wood ducks (some nesting in trees along the lane). Were delighted by occasional loons and heard their haunting cry, especially in the night, along with unseen owls and night herons.

Very beautiful, spacious & quaint house filled with all the essentials needed!! For 11 ladies we didn't have to fight for a bathroom!! Spa like atmosphere & very welcoming. The fine details were very much appreciated. It was so nice to have many awesome places to sit and relax. Thank you for having a lot of things set up for us including firewood!! Totally a place we would recommend.

Thank you so much for a wonderful week! We had a great time during the day with the kids in the pool & the evening with the adults in the hot tub. Your home is beautiful & so is the view of the river. Sean caught some great fish thanks to your tips! We could not have asked for a more prefect spot to spend our family vacation. Thank you for the space & being such wonderful hosts!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We had such a great time & truly enjoyed our stay at your property. You've done an amazing job at maintaining this facility. The whole family made full use of all the amenities. Especially the long & wide swimming pool.
The Malik Family August 2015
We had a great time at your beautiful house. It was a great family weekend for us. We really enjoyed the pool area & front yard. Your house is very spacious & we enjoyed relaxing there. We had 10 family members a the house. Everyone had a great time!
Thanksgiving Family Reunion October 2018 Guest; Lynn Chang,
Plenty of room for 11 of us. Thoughtful hosts who coordinated our tasty catered turkey dinner through the Beckwith Kitchen. The hosts also set up fishing rods for the kids (my son caught one!). A bit cold for kayaking though the watercraft looked tempting. Nice bike ride to Carleton Place along fun and easy path, part of it freshly paved. Minor quibble might be that best access to hot tub is through master bedroom, but this was not a major issue. Already re-booked for Thanksgiving 2019!

| We loved The Old Mill Manor. We booked it so that we could be all together as we were attending a family wedding nearby. We came from Scotland and England. The house and area was perfect for our family. We were welcomed warmly by Julie and Gary. What a great couple.
There was plenty of room for our group of 9 however we originally were to be a party of 11. That would have been comfortable too. All the beds were so comfy, bedrooms spacious, bathrooms spotless.
The weather was against us so we weren't able to use patio space or the pool but some did use the hot tub. Gary kindly laid a bonfire for us and we really enjoyed sitting outside after dark. What a wonderful garden and outdoor space.
Almonte is really close by and has an attractive main street with restaurants and nice shops. Definitely worth a visit.
I could go on and on about this wonderful property, our super hosts and the area. If you're looking for the perfect spot for a family holiday, couples weekend or reunion, look no further. Julie and Gary will do everything to make your stay unforgettable.

| I don't even know where to start, every part of our stay was fantastic!
The house is spectacular. Very cozy, warm and welcoming. There was more than enough space for 10 adults and our dog.
Julie and her husband were great hosts. They we're easy to contact and very helpful. The price was extremely reasonable for everything. Honestly, we are already trying to find a date to go back!!
Thank you again, Julie!

| I booked The Old Mill Manor for a Christmas reunion for my family. Previously I have booked " extra" family members into a hotel but The Old Mill was SO much better. We had a our Christmas meal in the beautifully decorated dining room and the family members cooked their 'pot luck' contributions in the well equipped kitchen.They all slept well in their comfortable rooms. When I mentioned that I was writing a review I was told by one daughter,"write a wonderful recommendation on my behalf. Wonderful stay", and two other daughters booked the Mill for another event this summer.Yes they all loved The Mill. Thanks so much Julie....

| Julie is an amazing host that aims to please and she even hired a butler, as we were having a special event to great us and provide us with a smooth check In, that tops the best experience of hospitality I've ever had In my life. Even a 5 star Hotel has nothing on Julie with her Old Mill Mansion. If your looking for a retreat with 10-12 friends this is the place for you hands down.

| Great place for our family reunion over Thanksgiving long weekend. Plenty of room for 11 of us. Thoughtful hosts who catered our turkey dinner and set up rods for the kids to fish (my son caught one!). A bit cold for kayaking though the watercraft looked tempting. Nice bike ride to Carleton Place along fun and easy path, part of it freshly paved. Minor quibble might be that best access to hot tub is through master bedroom, but this was not a major issue. Although we will not need so many bedrooms next year, we may be tempted to return nonetheless. Thanks Julie and Gary!
