We love this place!

This was our 3rd visit to Drifted Inn, and we booked our 4th while we were there. It's a beautiful little place, the beach is perfect for our son and it's close enough to town to get anything you need.

Great spot for a relaxing getaway

This place was great for a nice relaxing weekend. The view of the river was very tranquil and was exactly what we were looking for. We enjoyed the property thoroughly. The property is as advertised. Would definitely stay here again.

Family Weekend

We loved your riverfront cottage! It was perfect for a weekend away and relaxing. The girls built sand castles and played in the water, my husband fished, and I relaxed in the hammock. We enjoyed the town and the riverfront walk and shops as well.

Best Staycation EVER

Just absolutely perfect for what hubby and I needed. Megan was very responsive, the cottage was as perfect as it could have been. Scenery was great, Tim’s just a skip away, comfortable bed and lunging furniture - I claimed the chair by the fire all weekend. Would definitely stay here again

My husband and I came for our anniversary, and had the best time! I was sad to leave and already want to book another stay. It was perfect for a couple - the beach and the water were probably our favourite part. Our hosts really thought of everything. We had everything we needed in the kitchen, for the barbecue, the campfire, lots of towels, a radio and a speaker, games; all we really needed to bring was clothing, our toothbrushes and some food!

Another excellent stay

This was our second year staying at the Drifted Inn, and it was another wonderful time for our family. As always, the cottage is clean, cozy and comfortable. We had beautiful weather all week which let us take advantage of dinners on the deck, lots of fun on the little private beach, and beautiful sunset views. Thank you for another wonderful summer getaway. We have already booked for next year, and can't wait to return.
