Retraite Emerald Acres

Lise, thank you for sharing such kind feedback! Providing a clean, comfortable, and well-equipped space for our valued guests is always our top priority, so we're delighted to hear that you and the group enjoyed the entire property and its surrounding private trails to explore. Thank you for staying with us, and we look forward to hosting you again in the future. Best regards, Mike

Eric,

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. It certainly was a pleasure welcoming you and your family to Emerald Acres Retreat, and we're delighted that you enjoyed the farmhouse, the trails, the nature and the beautiful views surrounding the property.

Seeing the deer outside the kitchen window and experiencing the island's sunrises, sunsets, and star-filled skies are some of the things that make this property so special and they are some of the reasons we built this home so that it could be appreciated by others. We love that you cherished these moments and we hope that it made lasting memories for both you, your partner, your parents and your children. We're also glad the children were able to participate in the nearby sheep-shearing event at Topsy Farms and that the maple syrup from our own trees added a special, local touch to your stay.

Thank you for taking such wonderful care of the house and for recommending us to others. We would be very happy to welcome your family back to Emerald Acres Retreat in the future and please feel free to mention us to others in the UK. We'd love to see more overseas visitors in the future!

Warm regards,
Mike

Roger, thank you so much for this glowing reviewing. What you have described is exactly how we envisioned others enjoying this property like you did. Peace, tranquility, the ability to see nature in it's natural form and a real place to escape the hustle and bustle of city/work life. Also, it is great that you were able to share this with your extended family as well and to be able to take in the Sand Beach on the back side of the island. Yes we do admit that the grocery shopping is limited but for others reading this review there is a grocery store (Schell's Market) just moments from the ferry located in beautiful little Bath, ON (no need to go all the way to Kingston) and as he owner I am also willing to drop by with any emergency items you may have forgotten and leave them at the house if required. I love the fact that you also had some great interactions with other islanders as well because you are correct, they are a very friendly bunch that are always willing to help. You were great guests and we'd love to have you and your family back again anytime!!

Paul and Barb, thank you for your kind words and positive review. Thank you as well for treating our place with love and respect. It was as clean as the way we left it for you. Cathy and I have worked very hard on this property house and property and we are so glad you enjoyed it and the rest of what Amherst Island has to offer. We look forward to hosting you again in the future and we hope that your positive review helps others come and enjoy the birding, hiking and biking on the island. Until next time... :-)
