An enchanting island suite with Waterfalls~Hot Tub~Boats~Bikes~Patio~Parks Pass

"Our Juliette Grand Suite "
LEAVE THE CITY BEHIND! Relax and Rejuvenate, surrounded by nature in your 500 sq ft, English country inspired private suite with a Juliette balcony. Fall asleep to the sound of the river outside your window. Rest and reconnect in the spacious and beautifully decorated 2nd floor suite in our converted grist mill.

The Juliette Suite is accessed through the original mill doors at our shared front entrance. You can come and go as you please with the access code. The original mill stairs, (which are a bit steeper than normal stairs), lead you to your private second floor suite. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed.
We, (Jerry and Suzie) call the mill our home. This is why the mill is such a special place as we work tirelessly to make it the memorable getaway it has become. The entire mill is 4400 square feet on 4 floors and provides each of our two sets of guests with their own private suite each approx 500 sq feet on separate floors and our living space on the ground and top floor.

OUR " ISLAND MILL GETAWAY" is the perfect spot to connect with nature and also so close to everything the area has to offer; Prince Edward wine region and Kingston and The 1000 Islands, great restaurants, antiquing, shopping, live performances and many tourist attractions.
The Island Mill Getaway is a converted grist mill and is also our home. We're on an island in the Salmon River between 2 waterfalls accessible by one lane bridges on and off the island. We're just 2 hours east of Toronto and conveniently located between the Prince Edward County Sandbanks and Wineries and Kingston and The Thousand Islands, conveniently located to all our area has to offer as well as our property offering an all season hot tub with private hours on any of the even hours. Boating, swimming and cycling all included in your stay. Provincial Park Pass is complimentary during your stay from May to October.

OUR JULIETTE SUITE OFFERS YOU:
A beautiful, second story, self-contained suite with English/French inspired vintage decor. Boats and bicycles, abundant wildlife and gardens and all just 6 minutes from the 401 hwy and 12 minutes from Prince Edward County.

ROOM AMENITIES:
You will enjoy a lovely, large, comfortable suite with a self-contained kitchenette which includes a fridge, food storage and prep areas, microwave, toaster/convection oven, induction hot plate, french press coffee maker, tea, coffee, all pots and pans, utensils, etc for light cooking. The suite has a French bedroom set with a queen size bed and a Tempurpedic memory foam mattress with top quality bedding, just perfect for falling asleep to the sound of the waterfalls outside your window. Toiletries, bath robes and towels are provided. The Suite has antiques, oak floors, carpeting and hand sewn silk lampshades and a Juliette balcony. There is a flat screen Roku TV on a swivel with Netflix and Prime.

SPRING AND SUMMER AT THE MILL:
You have a large, private patio under a wooden pergola with retractable awning, cushioned, swivel chairs and bamboo blinds by the waterfalls with a Weber bbq, plumbed drinking water, prep area and firepit, kayaks, a canoe, peddle boat, paddle board and touring bicycles during the warmer months and a riverside hot tub under the stars plus an outdoor hot and cold shower all at no extra charge. With waterfront on three sides, you'll likely want to spend some time on the river. Boats and bicycles are provided from May long weekend until end of October. Spend time on the river in our many types of watercraft or tour the countryside with our Haro touring bicycles. You can also enjoy a refreshing swim in the waterfalls.
We live in the very picturesque historic hamlet of Lonsdale which has been the subject of many artists and photographers. The river is part of an historic canoe route and many enthusiasts brave the rapids in May. The river quietens come June for relaxing paddles. It is the river that gives this place it's magical vibe and brings the wildlife in abundance for our pleasure. Great Blue Herons, Song Birds, Eagles, Otters, Beavers, Muskrats, Geese, Ducks, Swans, Turtles, song birds and many others are all happy to call Lonsdale home or stop by to say hi. You never know who is going to drop by next. The grounds are full of flowers and birds and the sound of the waterfalls makes this an ideal spot to just kick back and enjoy.

FOOD:
We encourage you to bring your own food and prepare light meals in your private kitchenette, as the closest restaurants are a 15 minute drive away and there are no stores in the immediate area. There are three grocery stores in Napanee , a 15 minute drive east or Belleville, a 20 minute drive west or in Picton, 30 minutes south. You may also use the outdoor barbeque. There are many nice restaurants and eateries within Napanee, Prince Edward and Belleville/Kingston areas. Regular and specialty teas, french press coffee, cream, sugar and honey are always available in your room. We also provide the little things for cooking that are difficult to transport such as cooking oil and spices. You are welcome to pick fresh herbs and veggies from our organic vegetable gardens in the summer.

WIFI:
There is fast WiFi available by Starlink.

LOCATION:
We are located 2 hours east of Toronto just 6 minutes from the 401. Picton is 30 minutes to the south, Kingston is 35 minutes east and Belleville is 20 minutes west. Kingston and The Thousand Islands, Prince Edward County Wineries and it's many Fine Restaurants and Sandbanks Provincial Park are all in a day's outing.

A beautiful oasis for relaxation away from the city
Everything was exactly as advertised. Sitting by the river listening to water and reading a book then stargazing at night was amazing! Location is isolated which is great for quiet and being surrounded by nature but it does require a drive to get to shops and such. Just need to come prepared. Hosts Suzie and Jerry were lovely and accommodating. They left a thoughtful snack bag in the room and had great recommendations for things to do in the area. Definitely plan to visit again!

Exsquite weekend at the Mill!
Our stay at the Island Mill exceeded all expectations. Whether you're a history buff, a nature enthusiast, or simply seeking a peaceful retreat, this listing offers an unforgettable escape. Jerry was welcoming and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The hot tub was a nice perk as the nights turned chilly while were were there. The grounds and the mill itself are breathtaking and our suite was a perfect, romantic getaway. Our plans to return are already in the works!

Great Hidden Hem
Awesome stay at the Mill. Suzie and Jerry are truly the best hosts out there. Everything was just perfect to accommodate a quiet stay. History buffs will have a great time looking at all the old mill’s artifacts. Nature lovers will adore the island set up and landscaping efforts our hosts worked out. Lots of wildlife around, beaver, geese, turtles, heron, squirrels chipmunks and tons of birds!! The room/suite is comfy and greatly furnished. We loved our stay and will be soon planning to return to see Suzie and Jerry. 5 stars well deserved.

About the host

Hosted by Suzie Gutzman

Host profile image
We are a recently retired couple who love sharing our unique property with others.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property when we were young and naiive. It has taken over 30 years and the journey, like all journeys has been difficult at times but very rewarding. The Lonsdale Mill has reached a potential even we did not believe possible in the beginning. The beautiful Salmon River with the abundance of wildlife and the lulling of the waterfalls is what keeps us here. Even though we're not located anywhere in particular, we're so close to everything. A short drive in 4 directions takes us to many towns and cities. We just can't imagine ourselves anywhere else.

What makes this property unique

Opportunity to stay in an historic limestone grist/flour mill on an island.
Three types of watercraft and touring bicycles for your enjoyment at no extra charge.
Outdoor, all season hot tub under the stars. Hot tub is for your private use on any of the even numbered hours.
Swimming in the waterfalls. (river levels
Dining, outdoor fire and relaxing riverside under a covered pergola.
Great opportunities for viewing birds and wildlife, such as otters, beavers, turtles, great blue herons and songbirds.
A true getaway experience in a scenic and historic setting.
Free pass to any Ontario Provincial Parks from May - October
