Gatekeeper's Retreat

We had a wonderful 2 night stay at Gatekeepers’s Retreat. The hosts were friendly and very accommodating with any special requests. We particularly loved the decor and impeccable cleanliness of the whole place. Breakfast included was a real treat with everything having been thought about - from piping hot coffee on arrival to allergies. We would definitely recommend any fellow travellers to visit and stay here.

Everything was top notch at this delightful bed & breakfast. We had an entire suite on the lower level with a sitting area, dining area, bedroom, bathroom, piano, and access to the backyard with a hammock and fire pit! David was the perfect host and served an amazing breakfast each morning right at 9am.

We stayed at Gatekeeper's Retreat for our anniversary and enjoyed everything! We've told family and friends all about our great experience there and recommended to everyone. The reason why we picked the B&B was because the room looked beautiful and spacious, and also we resonated with the passion the owner, David, has about the breakfast food, using local ingredients and free-range eggs, which we do too, and that he can accommodate food preferences (in our case, gluten-free meal). We stayed in The Hermitage room. Very spacious - it has a entry way with a piano, spacious bathroom, living room with a fire place, dining room with a doorway to the back yard, coffee counter with a mini fridge, and bedroom - all to yourself! All the furniture look elegant, antique, and cohesive. We were able to relax in the room very well. The common library was cool too. We loved the breakfast. It started with a fruit platter, slices of bread, and various kinds of cheese and jam from local shops and followed by the warm meal of the day. We also enjoyed the beautiful table setting and presentation on the plates in the common dining room. All the guests in the B&B will have breakfast together at one dining table. It was a fun and unique experience for us to make new friends and enjoy the meal together with them! Also, David's huge stash of loose leaf tea was so fun to explore! We also enjoyed our morning walk in the subdivision to the lake Ontario and looking at cute houses in the area.
