Sacred Idleness….such a gift!
Everything about this place is beautiful, healing and filled with amazing energy. Frances is so lovely. I knew I’d like her just from our correspondence prior to arrival. Upon arrival I was so warmly and care-fully received. Her hospitality and desire for my enjoyment parallels no other experience I’ve ever had. The space is clean, beautiful, carefully and artfully decorated inside and out. It was a perfect getaway for a very tired single mama with 2 special needs kids. I definitely came home in better shape than I arrived!! Thank you Frances!

We had an amzing Thansgiving weekend staying at Frances place. Everything about the property is charming and cozy. And although we didnt get a chance to meet Frances (hopefully next time) she was quick to answer any questions and even gave us a late afternoon checkout which was greatly appreciated. Perfect place to relax and recharge. Would definitely return. Thanks again Frances....Stephanie and James.

A Wonderful Time!
The property was in a great location (we were able to walk everywhere- beach, town, grocery store!) And there was a spectacular view!! Frances was so helpful and sweet and so easy to get ahold of. We didn't get our check in information through the VRBO website, but Frances was so good about the fact that we weren't completely prepared. My husband and I fully enjoyed our time in the house! Thank you Frances forgiving us a space to spend the first half of our honeymoon!!!

Francis was very personable.
Enjoyed our quiet stay. Frances does live above the property. Can hear footsteps and sometimes talking but nothing that was disturbing. The property was very clean and pretty quiet. We went for our 24th wedding anniversary and loved our stay. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who just wants to get away and relax. The hot tub was an awesome bonus. Thanks Frances. Hope to visit again!

Getaway With a View
My wife and I just spent the weekend at this beautiful property and we had an absolute blast. Upon arriving Frances greeted us with a big smile and a welcoming presence. She showed us the suite which was located directly below her own living quarters (But you could barely tell as she made no noise at all). The suite had it's own outdoor area underneath of her back patio overlooking the lake and properties below. We enjoyed the outdoor seating, the hot tub tucked away privately in the covered corner, the large propane fire pit and the cozy interior of the suite. Frances supplied all the necessities for us to have a comfortable stay. A fully loaded kitchen, a larger-than-king sized memory foam mattress, a bbq etc. Frances also created a book with local restaurants and menus. We had never been to Port Stanley before so this guide proved to be incredibly helpful in venturing the town. The suite is far enough away from downtown and the main beach that we weren't disturbed by the tourists, but it was close enough that everything was within a 15min walk. Frances checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed and even set us up with free coffees and croissants to pick up from a local café on our way out of town. She is an incredibly lovely host and I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a getaway or to adventure the beautiful town of Port Stanley.

My husband and I stayed at The Suite Retreat last summer for a week. It's a perfect spot for a quiet getaway for two. A short walk to the beach, amazing views, walking distance to town, a firepit and a private hot tub. Frances is an awesome host. I would book this property again in a heartbeat.

Worst nightmare i have ever experienced!
Frances told us to let her know ETA and she would meet us. I texted her and she wasn't there but the door was opened so we called then walked in. She was not happy. Then we went in and the place smelled very musty, not a clean smell. She stated she smelt nothing. The TV didn't work at all . She then said what would happen if i can't get my handyman. We said then we'll leave. We then went to the beach. We came back to 3 people in our place (not told they were coming) to fix the TV (they were neighbours). Finally got 1 station! The propane tank was empty. The hot tub was warm but weren't allowed to adjust it and the jets were very low and only a few. The kitchen had very few staples in it. I had to ask for a measuring cup! Lots of tea pots though!. The kitchen by day 3 smelled like dead fish and that was the last straw. The place is so outdated and in such need of repairs i would be embarrassed to rent it out. The view was beautiful out on the balcony and the bed was comfortable. We were also informed that we had to take the garbage out and to take the recycables home with us. We left on day 3. Could not tolerate it anymore.
