I agree with the other reviews, it is a lovely place and we wish we had a reason to stay there for more than one night.

We got into Crows Nest at around 8:30pm. It was a little spooky driving there at that time as it is a quiet neighbourhood. With no streetlights and trees framing the roads it was really dark... I would recommend others to drive in at daylight. Regardless, we were able to find Crows Nest with no issues... there is a small blue sign right at the intersection, as well as right at the front fence of the house. The property looks to be one building, divided into 4 sections, Mary's house, a porch area, and 2 full house- suites (2 floors) for rent. Inside, it is just like the photos... very clean and very homey.

We were greeted by Mary's husband at arrival, although we were told by Mary that they would simply leave the keys at the door. He showed us how to use the fireplace, the coined electricity, lights for the bedrooms and showers. We were worried at first, but we did not have to put in more money for the electricity used (they left spare coins for us anyway), and there IS hot water and a powerful comfortable pressurized shower. The ceilings on the second floor are angled low and we bumped our heads on the ceilings in the bedrooms a couple times. The washroom can also be a little bit awkward as it is a tight space. The sink is also quite small. However, we found it convenient that the sink, washroom, and showers are in separate spaces.

They were really helpful, with a binder full of information...nearby restaurants/ tourist attraction brochures, milk was left in the fridge, lots of extra towels were provided. We wanted to go to Henry's but their kitchen closes at 9pm, so we went to Yeats Tavern; Mary's husband suggested Lang's to us.

Only complaint is that we got there on a cloudy rainy day... we were still able to see a sky full of stars, but if the weather cooperated, it would've been even more beautiful.

Thanks Mary for being such a great host, we loved staying there!
