Elisabeth (10/5): - Wow! The pictures don’t do the place justice. We stayed in room 5 which is in the newer building and absolutely lovely!

Merrickville is very quaint with lots of local shops that are bougie cool but not crazy expensive. I highly recommend the 1840 House! One side note for American travelers- your US streaming services only work in the US. Great news, though- whatever the heck Crave is has a kajlllion channels and they are available for your stay.

From the warm welcome at the door, to the beautiful layout of the historic common area, to the clean comfortable and well equipped bedroom- this place had it all. My husband was enamoured by the whiskey bar with over 25 different types of whiskey. Hot breakfast in the morning was delicious. So much to do in the area- shopping, hiking, cycling, historic walking tours, or just sitting and taking in the beautiful scenery. Our only regret was that we couldn’t stay longer. We will be back.
Maureen (10/5): - Very pleasant helpful hosts & felt very comfortable staying at this time of Covid
Darrell (10/5): - Very comfortable and relaxing stay. Service was excellent and we were well cared for with just the right amount of attention. We will look forward to staying longer next time.
Verified traveler (10/5): - It would almost be easier to list what *isn't* unique about this property! I loved the owners' care and attention to every detail, ensuring that my needs were fully met in every regard. Comfort beyond belief, immense help in finding a perfect outdoor dining spot within walking distance, ample and delicious breakfast prepared exactly to my specifications.... I guess my only complaint is that we were experiencing a cold snap, and I wasn't able to take advantage of the sauna, hot tub, or pool. Next time! Highly recommended!!
Verified traveler (10/5): - A very charming and welcoming place with attentive staff and excellent breakfasts. Wine and whiskey tasting paired with meats and cheese boards, hot tub pool and sauna area made this B&B a treasure to stay at.

Sandy (10/5): - This property is exceptional. It is completely renovated and everything new. Rooms were large, super clean, beautifully furnished.
