The happy driveway is for your exclusive use. It is over 50 feet long, so if you are gathering here, it can fit 3 of your cars, or if it is just your family, bring your trailer, bring your boat! Message us for length and width details.

Queen’s Housemate Reunion

Seven housemates from 30 years ago returned and use this fabulous house as a reunion site a comfortably house seven the dining room room provided ample and enjoyable space for evening cocktails and chats. The kitchen was well equipped for meal prep and generously included coffee fixings for the morning. It was large, clean, well equipped, easily walkable to downtown, the campus and the lake and absolutely perfect for our groups needs. Nicole was friendly and available for questions and recommendations. Would happily book again. :-)

Quick visit

We wanted a few days to get cousins together. The location allowed us to walk downtown and to the university. We had the space we wanted and it was very quaint. The hosts were able to give us excellent recommendations to help plan our stay.I recommend bringing slippers if you come in the winter as the floor in the back bedroom gets cold.
