YOUR HOSTS JULIE & GARY
The Old Mill Manor became a vacation rental in 2015 while we tried to sell everything we owned to live on a sailboat. We bought a 35.5ft Endeavour sailboat in Port Stanley & motored to Lake Eerie down the ICW to Florida & then the Bahamas. After living on a boat for 8 months, we knew that it wasn't for us & we were grateful to go back home to Appleton. We then bought all the things you can't have on a sailboat like multiple king beds, antique dishes & patio furniture. We love hosting guests at the Manor because we've travelled a lot & we realize there is no place like home!
GUEST COMMENTS
FALL BRIDE, Kaitlyn G, 2019
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!
June 2015, Sandy S.
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.
Thanksgiving Family Reunion Oct. 2018, Lynn Chang
Plenty of room for 11 of us. Thoughtful hosts coordinated our tasty catered turkey dinner through the Beckwith Kitchen & 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. 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!
A BIRDER'S PARADISE, Flo Hayes, 2015
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.

| As usual, Gary and Julie rolled out the red carpet for us. This home is just as beautiful in person as it is in the pictures. We enjoyed the canoe, access to the water, the pool, the hot tub, the campfire (Julie even provided all of the fixings to make our own S'mores). The beds are clean and comfortable. The kitchen and dining room contain everything you might need. We love coming here and look forward to our next stay. Thank you again, Julie and Gary!

| Fantastic stay at the Old Mill Manor!
We stayed here over the weekend of our wedding, which was hosted in the area. The house was plenty spacious for our entire group, and had plenty of natural light for the girls to get ready. The hot tub, pool, and back yard were clean and ready to use, making them a very nice place to relax. For our group, the many closets and couple of irons/ironing boards were a nice touch for our formal wear.
The kitchen and dining rooms were the best stocked we've ever seen at a rental property, making cooking and hosting a breeze.
Julie and her husband were gracious hosts, giving us a nice tour of the property when we arrived and greeted us with open arms. Although outdoor noise and the number of cars coming through must be considered, we never found it restricting.
Would highly recommend to any group (wedding party or not)!

| 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!
