Wonderful rural property close to town
We love everything about this property! The home is super nice, and spacious. The property is huge and private, with so much to keep the kids busy (swimming pool, badminton, soccer in the yard). Lynn, the property owner is lovely. She was super responsive and helpful both times we have stayed in her home (yes, we've visited two years in a row). Thanks for everything!

The Merville Mansion
Delightful in every way, spacious rooms, huge kitchen with an ample supply of utensils for feeding 7 adults. The projection tv was a nice bonus for the football game. We hope to return some time when the pool is open.

Lonely home, perfect for friends and family
We've been staying in the area for the past 10 years each July for the Music festival and this was our favourite VRBO to date (also most expensive, but well worth it) The 5 bathrooms (7 adults of 4 families) was the clincher, but bonus to the swimming pool, BBQ for our chefs in the group, and lovely bedrooms. We didn't use any of the common areas as the weather was so nice we spent it all out on the back patio, and most in our group took a dip at least once in the hot weather. Having a full sized dining table on the patio made for a wonderful final night group dinner. We lacked for nothing in the bedrooms and bathrooms, and lots of extra's that we didn't use but really appreciated. One of our party may return in the winter with family for a ski holiday - 3 adult sons, a daughter-in law and, baby. As we are all "foodies" and chefs, it needs a few more plastic (dishwasher proof) cutting boards, better corkscrews (we all had our own :) and sharper knives :) Thanks!

Absolute Perfection!
Where do I even start with this place. We booked last minute which the host was very accommodating with. The property is massive which the dogs loved. The kitchen was big and great for cooking big family meals. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the master bathroom had the nicest shower I have ever seen in my life. The entertainment room had the best surround sound system I have ever heard before. We saw countless deer on the property. There was almost no light pollution in the area which made for great star gazing and the property itself was so quiet and peaceful. We're already talking about booking this property again next year.

Merville House
We thoroughly enjoyed this property. Very well situated, beautiful house and grounds, great communication with the owners and very clean with everything a person could want away from home. Saratoga beach just north of the house was one of the most beautiful we've visited! Thanks so much to Lynn and family for sharing this special space!

Lovely stay
We were 2 families (with 4 kids and 3 dogs between us) who came for a getaway. There was plenty of room for all of us and the dogs enjoyed running around the yard. There were a couple of minor glitches during our stay but the owner was super responsive and easy to work with. We enjoyed our stay immensely and will definitely look to come again.
