The Old Mill Manor History
Built in 1842 by the TESKEY Family who immigrated from County Cork, Ireland through the Peter Robinson settlers. An Industrious family who built a saw mill, grist mill & woolen mill & later sold to the CALDWELLs then the COLLIE family who built a multi million dollar textile trade. In the 1980s, the Canadian textile market was outsourced internationally & the Manor went bankrupt because it was deeded to the textile mill. In the 90s, the Manor opened as the Appletree Bed & Breakfast.
In 2012, Julie & Gary purchased the Manor & created a private secondary suite so they could live onsite while they rented the larger side of the Manor to vacationers. In 2020, the town designated the Manor as a "Country Inn". The advantage of us living onsite is that we can quickly solve problems, answer questions & cater meals. On your arrival, Gary will greet you at the door & gives you a tour.
Gary maintains the manor & the grounds full time. He's also a professionally trained cook & former GM of the KEG. Gary specializes in meat (roasts & turkeys). Enjoy a fantastic meal served in the formal dining room. We also have wonderful restaurants who will deliver to the manor.
The Manor is located near the Appleton Bird Sanctuary/ A BIRDER'S PARADISE
Birding Notes by Flo Hayes
The Usual Birds: 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.
Occasional visits from: indigo buntings, rose breasted grosbeaks, Carolina wrens.
Water bird visitors: 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.

The Old Mill is absolutely perfect. I stayed here the night before and the night of my wedding. I felt like a princess. The entire house is just beautiful, down to all the little details. I spent the night before the wedding relaxing in the hot tub and sitting with my family around the fire. The owners had set the formal dining table for us and we felt like royalty. The house is huge and had space for my bridal party and family. I had my makeup artist and hair stylist there the day of the wedding. They had so many options for places to set up. For getting ready photos, this is the perfect atmosphere. Huge windows, gorgeous furniture. Everything you could need. I cannot say enough good things about the Old Mill and the owners. They have done a wonderful job making this a dream place to stay. My now husband and I are so excited to come back in the future!

Idea spot for a vacation with the outlaws. Plenty of rooms to accommodate 9 adults and a dog. 2 kayaks and a canoe were supplied in front of the manor on the Mississippi River. The salt water pool and hot tub were used daily & enjoyed immensely. The two small towns nearby (5 minute drive) were very close for groceries & eating out. Plenty of different types of restaurants to choose!
Thanksgiving Family Reunion Oct. 2018, Lynn Chang
Plenty of room for 11 of us. Thoughtful hosts catered our tasty turkey dinner & also set up fishing rods for the kids (my son caught one!). A bit cold for kayaking but the watercraft looked tempting! Nice bike ride to Carleton Place along fun and easy path, part of it freshly paved.

| We stayed at the Old Mill Manor Feb 2021 and again in Feb 2022 and on both occasions had such an amazing time! We were celebrating my 31st & 32'nd birthday with a Murder Mystery game and the old mill manor was the perfect setting!
Gary and Julie are amazing hosts, they were always very responsive, made us feel very comfortable and it really shows how much work they put in to make their guests stays incredible. The house is beautiful, exactly like the pictures! We arrived to a fireplace going, the dining room set beautifully and a lovely bottle of champagne. The whole experience was really fantastic and the hosts really go above and beyond.
The rooms were decorated very nicely with lots of space to get ready. The beds were very comfortable. The bathrooms were also very well equipped.
We also had our dog with us. It's always challenging to find dog friendly accommodations so that was definitely a plus. The yard was fully fenced as well.
We were very sad to leave when the weekend came to an end and have been chatting about coming back asap ever since. I'm sure I'll be celebrating my 33rd birthday there as well!
Thanks so much Gary and Julie, I really had a memorable Birthday x2!!

| Absolutely amazing property! We were 3 families and truly we 100% enjoyed our stay at the Old Mill Manor. House is spectacular, with so much character. Lots of space to feel like you are on a private vacay even when with big group of people.
We cooked at the property and there wasn't one thing that was missing in the kitchen. Pool is amazing, river is beutiful and neighbourhood is nice and quiet.
Owners were great and very helpful. They gave us all the privacy we needed!

| Dear Julie
Thank you and Gary for making our stay a beautiful one. The house was so clean and spacious and the pool and hot tub really made our holiday just perfect. Loved that the kids were able to fish and also canoe along the river. We did not do much sight-seeing as we just wanted to languish in the pool and hot tub. We appreciate the amenities and your assistance while there. We will always remember our holiday at Old Mill Manor during the pandemic.
Stayed: June 2020
