I had a wonderful stay at the Summer House. While the lodgings were lovely (an impressive heritage home), it is the service that I received that will bring me back to the Summer House. My host Bill was extremely hospitable and accommodating. Knowing I would be out late in the evenings, Bill let me determine what time breakfast was served... More

We recently stayed one night an Summer House Inn. The location is perfect as you can walk to the main sites, shops, restaurants and waterfront. Our room was very nice and comfortable. There was a loud window air conditioner which we left on when we were not in the room. The ceiling fan and regular fan were fine while we... More

Of the three inns we stayed in during our vacation in Montreal, Kingston and Toronto the Summer House Inn came in third. I found the inn on the Internet and reviews seemed pretty good. What we found was a pretty room with a somewhat noisy in-the-window air conditioner. The inn itself was not air-conditioned and the days we were there... More

My husband, myself, and our 14 year old daughter stayed overnight this past weekend. The lovely home was very comfortable and nicely decorated. Our breakfast was delicious and we had everything we needed. The proximity to restaurants downtown was great. More

Joan was very hospitable, we felt that we were at home and made to feel very comfortable and welcome. The Autumn Room was lovely, clean and spacious, a tiny but very nice bathroom with shower and plenty of space for the two of us. I loved the feeling of being able to explore this wonderful old historic building, then sit... More

Joan was away and so we were very well looked after by Bill and his dog Simon. We arrived from a few days in Niagra to Kingston station where we were met... More

Visiting Canada from Amsterdam, the Netherlands, we visited the nice city of Kingston at lake Ontario for three days. The tourist office recommended the Summer house Inn as being downtown and a nice bed and breakfast. We called and were welcomed half an hour later by Joan. The room was comfortable and had a balcony were we could relax in... More

A very unpleasant experience. After booking a queen room with private bath at Summer House Inn in July this year, and providing our credit card details to confirm it, we arrived late afternoon to be met by Joan and told she had let our room to a long term tenant. She had made no effort to book us in anywhere... More

Totally unreliable! NOTE: traveling with a child of 18 months. We booked one month before our arrival (August 18 to September 13). Joan, the owner, asked us a credit card to confirm our reservation. We have sent to Joan all the required informations (also the credit card number). At our arrival Joan wasn't at home. Over the phone she told... More

I stayed at the Summer House Inn for an extended period over the past year while working full-time and preparing for a new academic program. Overall I was extremely pleased with all aspects of the Summer House Inn, particularly the inviting "family" atmosphere that Joan and Bill work hard to maintain. Of note, the building itself is historic, well-appointed and... More
