Ben's home is a great space for groups. There are many places to sit and read, play card games, or simply enjoy a quiet cup of coffee/tea. Easy drive to Hopewell Rocks and Alma in the other direction. Ben has a wealth of information regarding recreational things to do in the area and is very approachable. He is on the grounds but not hovering in your space, a great host.
Ben's home has that country charm but is a work in progress. If you have dust allergies be warned. One of our people in the group had asthma issues due to the wood stove dust and could not stay in the house. Luckily, she was able to find a vacancy in a local motel.
Overall, I would return to the Bare Bones Guest House. Well worth the money spent, just wish I could have stayed longer to truly take it all in!!
