the squirrels nest

I have fallen in love again. It's an adorable little cottage in Kingsville, Ontario. Two blocks from the lake, at the end of a small, quiet street. They call it the Squirrel's Nest Bed & Breakfast, and it's the greatest little find!

We've been talking about doing a weekend getaway to get some online business stuff done. So I went looking for a bed & breakfast, inn or other similar getaway spot nearby that would work for us. That's when I found The Squirrel's Nest, and I knew it was going to be perfect for us.

Sure enough, it is a beautiful little cottage, rustic and cozy. Nice backyard, fireplace, loft with skylight - and a piano!!! The price was right - and they provide breakfast food as well. Wireless internet included.

So not only are we getting some great work done on our online business(es), but I have been inspired to acquire my own little place. Mine will be on the lake, though - right on the water. Perhaps even just a piece of land that I can build my own house on...

The couple that own this little place are very nice. A young couple, kinda hippyish - at least for Ontario. They remind me of a young couple I knew back home - but without the gaggle of little kids. ;) We got here and Jon had to help George set up the wireless internet so we could use it. They were so grateful for his help that they came back with a bottle of wine while we were out getting some groceries. They seem like very down to earth, friendly folk. I like them!

I think this could be come a regular getaway spot for us. Perhaps once a month or so...
