Bright, Beautiful and Sparkling Clean
Susan is a wonderful host who pays attention to details and makes sure you have everything you need to have a comfortable stay. Wake up to a clean, sunny, open space where you have all you need to make a good meal and then relax in this cozy home with a book or crossword. There's a nice trail on the property that you can use. It's a short car trip to Perth or Ottawa or just take in the natural loveliness of Lanark County. And if you're a neatnik like me, you will be more than happy with the cleanliness of this home. This is our second time at Teal Sky and it most certainly won't be our last. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could.

Perfect, tranquil spot!
Wonderful property. The river was my personal favourite spot on the property. In the morning, I saw a gorgeous deep grazing in the wildflower field directly outside the main, big window.

Disconnect and Reconnect at a Country Retreat
My partner and I spent a lovely four days in 5his impeccable country cottage. The natural setting in a rewilding field beside a forest and near a river afforded an abundance of wildlife -- from swallow tail butterflies, to trout, grouse, and nearly dozen mushroom varietals.

Bring your own towels!
Property and building were absolutely beautiful. The owner seems lovely. We saw 4 deer grazing outside while we were finishing up a late supper. However, bring your own towels. We casually read the listing and it lists towels in included amenities. Those are just hand towels. If you scan further down it tells you that you should bring your own bath towels! Another thing of note is the lengthy list of rules that the owner provides. I get it, they want to keep the property in as good a condition as possible for a long time. Still, it does detract from the enjoyment of the stay.

My friend and I enjoyed our stay in this house in the countryside. So peaceful and quiet. A great place to disconnect and relax. If you can handle no wifi and limited cell service, or you’re actively seeking a digital detox, this place fits the bill. Perfect site for a retreat.
