The architecture of Stouffer Mill may be the first thing you notice, but it's the warm charm of Jessie and Don that you remember.
Every morning started with a mouthwatering full breakfast, a yogurt to whet the appetite, followed by something savoury and then something sweet. One day, a cheese omelette and sausages then french toast; asparagus scramble and blueberry pancakes the next.
They are surrounded by several km of trails that they built and named after their dogs, and provided us with snowshoes to trek around in the cold Highland winter. While we didn't have time to make use of the hot tub in the solarium upstairs, we could definitely see the appeal. There is a lot of neat history behind the place, and Don was happy to share their stories about the building and their vintage/antique furniture.
I booked us the dinner package from their website, and after a long day of winter hiking and sledding, we were treated to a warm and lovely dinner by the fireplace. Jessie served us Cornish hen with maple glazed carrots, roast vegetables and peas, with a side of creamed cauliflower, served family style.
Highly recommended visit if you are planning to visit the nearby campgrounds or trails, or just want a nice secluded getaway. I would like to come back in the spring or fall for some foraging and hiking. read more
