"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.

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.
