Rob’s place was really a piece of heaven. We spent one glorious month there and never ever grew tired of that view.
We have three kids, ages 7, 4, and 1, and we always felt like they were safe. The water is an excellent level for their ages. The street is quiet, so we felt comfortable letting them play in the front yard on their own. A nice little bonus was seeing the freight train go around the hill every day.
We had to do a bit of baby proofing for our one year old. But you expect that in a non-baby house. Our big girls liked the deer and foxes on the walls. And there was a regular chipmunk that liked to scurry across the deck all the time. We really felt like we were in Canada!
The house was equipped with everything you could need. From lots of towels to extra camping chairs. There were board games for rainy days. I could bake a cake, muffins and cookies. The basement was delightfully cool on hot days.
The town of Harvey is only a 10 minute drive away and it has nearly everything you need. There’s a cute little bakery and cafe 5 minutes in the other direction. And McAdam made a nice little place to visit half an hour away (go on a Sunday to the railway station for some pie!).
The neighbours were just lovely. The whole area was amazing.
We had the best time. If we don’t end up buying a place there, we’d definitely stay at Rob’s again.
