I'll start by saying the pictures can't do this place justice! We stayed in the willow kottage and didn't want to leave!!! Great ambience, quiet, everything you need for a great vacation, and only one block from the beach!! What wasn't mentioned when we booked with Sonja was the yard... There's a small Koi pond with some really adorable fish, a small basketball pad, bocce balls and a huge green space to play on! When we shared information with the other wedding guests staying in the area it was clear we had the best accommodation by far, both in price and beautiful rooms.
Thank you guys for a fabulous stay, we look forward to coming back just as soon as we possibly can!

We have just returned from four lovely and relaxing days at Harrison Heritage House B&B. I can't think of a single negative thing about our stay.

Harrison Heritage House consists of three b&b rooms in the main house and four cottages of varying size on their beautifully kept grounds. We booked the "Naismith Retreat" b&b room and it turned out to be just right for us. All b&b rooms have private entrances, private bathroom facilities, eating nook as well as small fridge, and coffee maker. (The cottages have more cooking facilities, but do not include a breakfast.)

Each morning breakfast is served to your room at the time of your choosing. The proprietor, Sonja, knocks gently at your door and leaves the breakfast on a tray & stand outside your door. The breakfast is full of fresh fruits, home made yogurt, home made granola, juice and pastries -- a feast for the eyes, as well as the palate. When you're done, you just return the tray and it magically disappears as quietly and unobtrusively as it appeared.

If you need fresh towels or other supplies, just let her know, and she will leave things in a lovely basket at your door. The common area is spacious and has a small assortment of complimentary DVDs, a microwave (in case you want to heat up some late night munchies), magazines, books, and brochures about the local sites as well as a computer with internet access (which we didn't try).

We really loved the sense of privacy and calm at Harrison Heritage House. The grounds are beautiful and laid out in such a way that maximum privacy is achieved. The time we spent on the back patio overlooking the gardens was like being in our own private oasis away from everything and everyone. Although we knew there were other cottages and people around, we barely saw them.

That's another beauty of HHH. It's only a block from the beach, lake, shops and restaurants, but when you're at the b&b, it seems like you're miles away.

This is really a lovely place and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

If you are looking for a couple days or a week of delicious escape, this is the place for you. The kottage was fabulous - everything we could need. Our days were our own to take an early morning stroll along the lake, have breakfast in a small cafe, poke through the stores and then head back to decide what to do with the rest of the day. On our first day we took a leisurely canoe ride through the water lilies in the creek out the back of the property. The next day we rented a kayak and explored a bit of the lake and up into the river. For each of the evenings we dined in a restaurant suggested by Sonya and were delighted with both the food and the wine selection. Everything was within walking distance.

Next time we will stay longer, get in a little hiking and take the time to sit in the lovely garden with a good book. Not only do we want to make our 'end-of-the-summer-escape' at the Harrison Heritage House an annual event, we have booked to come back in the spring as well !

I can't begin to recommend Harrison Heritage House highly enough. Robert and Sonja were so accomodating (though I learned that waiting to book was a bad idea- if you find availability, I'd suggest you book immediately!), the breakfasts were incredible (warm, home made pastries, fresh juice, etc), the room, guest social area and gardens all looked like they were straight out of a magazine and the town itself is so peaceful you can't help but have a great time. Absolutely priceless.
