About Your Hosts, Julie & Gary
The Old Mill Manor became a temporary vacation rental in 2015 while it was listed for sale. We planned on selling everything to go experience living 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:
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. The Old Mill Manor is now his full time job.
2) Julie answers all guest enquiries & wants your feedback so we can provide a better guest experience. Before check in, she finds & returns lost guest items, cleans & reorganizes the kitchen & games room & sets your dining room table,
3) Queen Bee cleaning provides a spotless accommodation & Carleton Place dry-cleaning does our laundry.
4) LG the cat is a talkative tabby that will love you if you let her. "Life's Good" spent 8 months living on a sailboat & almost got left in the Bahamas because she jumped ship in the middle of the night. 3 weeks later we found her living under a souvenir shop. LG loves children & roaming the gardens. If you're allergic to cats don't worry she does not enter the vacation rental side of the home.
Gary & I are Super Hosts & are available to help you via text or just knock on our door.

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!

| 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!

| We stayed at the Old Mill Manor the third week of August and thoroughly enjoyed everything the house had to offer. We were 2 families of 4 and 2 couples. The rooms were spacious and luxurious just like in the pictures. The 12 of us had ample places to be alone and at the same time plenty of spots to be together. At night we watched the shooting stars by the fire pit and movies in the living room. During the day we swam in the pool, soaked in the hot tub, kayaked and fished out front. We had our meals in the back by the pool, in the dining room and out front. Everyone took turns relaxing in the hammock too. The storage shed and garage were fully stocked with everything we could possibly want. The fridge out back was very convenient and it was nice to have all the pool toys and the badminton rackets. Gary and Julie thought of everything. We picked up our food at Costco which was not too far away. The kitchen had everything you could imagine and lots of storage space. We walked around Almonte, went for bike rides in Appleton, did some shopping in Carleton Place and Tanger Outlets. If you're wondering whether you should stay here, the answer is yes. Gary and Julie will take good care of you. We hope to go back one day.

| We enjoyed a wonderful stay at The Old Mill Manor. Exceptionally beautiful inside and out with great amenities for all the family. Gary and Julie were very attentive yet unobtrusive and quickly sorted out any minor issues. We would definitely recommend this property and look forward to staying again next year.

| The Old Mill Manor was the ideal spot for a vacation with the outlaws of the family.
There were plenty of rooms to accommodate 9 adults and a dog; the kayaks and canoe were supplied and a wonderful use for the access in front of the manor on Mississippi River.
The salt water pool and hot tub were used daily by all and enjoyed immensely.
The two small towns nearby (5 minute drive) were close enough for groceries or eating out. There were plenty of different types of restaurants to choose from.
Don't have enough great things to say about this location, property and owners.
