A Successful Team Retreat

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 30 Jul 2021
Booked accommodation for a team retreat for 12 people. Everyone raved at the cozy cottage they were assigned, each one different with different styles, art, and all the comforts of home. The cottages were a perfect place to relax with absolutely everything you need including a great space to sit outdoors with a fire and soak in the stars. The only shortcoming was that our stay wasn't nearly long enough - keen to return and see even more of the attractions (hikes, antiquing, restaurants, theatre) that are minutes away from the cottages - a great getaway.

    My father, brother, and I just had an amazing weekend in two of these beautiful, rustic, cottages. The physical environment alone is enough to transport travellers to a refreshing vacation that is both relaxed and sufficiently equipped for comfort. The number of cottages (some spacious and some small with a redeemingly cuteness) helps to ensure availability and provides a village-like walkabout. You can chose to use the outdoor communal furniture and fire pit to socialize with neighbouring travellers while the young'ns use the playground, or you can borrow a portable bbq and hang out on your patio with a good book.

    Beyond it's physical beauty, the new owners Wendy and Jay, and their staff, fill this space with an accommodating and welcoming energy. I felt immediately welcome and continued to be surprised by their generous dedication to making sure my family had the most comfortable stay possible.

    Riverview cottages is close to many amenities and is a 15 minute walk to "downtown Parrsboro". I have stayed in these cottages on many occasions and it is a sure good time. Even though the river (which is actually an aboiteau) now runs low, this place is rushing with welcoming feelings and relaxing vibes.

    Room tip: all the cottages I've stayed in have been great, Wendy has all the tips.

    Nice little retreat with clean and comfortable rustic cottages. The owners are wonderful and very accommodating. Parrsboro is a quaint little town with live theatre, local brew pub and friendly people. Enjoyed our stay!

    I spent four very peaceful nights at these very well maintained and clean cottages. No distractions, quiet and retro. Granted in today's busy connected world some want TV and internet. There is WiFi to stay connected in need be. Close to Parrsboro and many tourist sites. The owners and their extended family very pleasant and welcoming. I would and will return in the future.

    Room tip: If it's really hot, bring a fan. There are some fans provided, but I always bring my own.

    Was really pleasantly surprised with these cottages. We booked them on a whim, when the weather was poor for camping. Given the low price ($92 with tax for two beds; cabin #10), even in high tourist season, we didn't really know what to expect. Was very pleasantly met by the owner, and was happy to see little extras like free bug spray, coffee available ($1.50), and even homemade jam for sale. The cabins themselves are clean and rustic (they're classic cabins, with wood walls and painted wood floors), but filled with bonus ammenities! Having spent nights in many cabins like these, I didn't expect very much. Was pleasantly surprised to see not only bed linens and towels provided, but a full bathroom with a shower, with mini hotel body wash bottles, and even a mini fridge! I've stayed at more expensive cabins along the Cabot Trail that didn't even have plumbing or electricity.

    The setting is also great. Theres a nice view of a small stream and downtown Parrsboro is only a km away. There's also a communal fire with free wood (although no personal fire pits).

    The big highlight were the owners (they took over a couple of years ago). They were pleasant interact with and extremely accommodating. I forgot a few things at home and they were able to lend things at no cost, which helped make the stay perfect.

    The weather cleared up the next day, but my 13 nephew who was travelling with us, who was previously very excited about tenting, suddenly didn't want to leave his nice cushy bed and "cozy" cabin (his words), so we stayed a second night.

    Would strongly recommend! :)
