"Our Hosts were super kind and friendly, even though we had a late arrival. Rooms were impeccable and were renovated very recently, looked brand new. Everything is well maintained and extra clean! Second year stopping by from event in Toronto, will always be going back for sure!"
"Always have an issue with this hotel. Have stayed there as part of a team's choice for a tournament; definitely not my choice! Always find something dirty, this time A/C wasn't working properly and had to make my own bed when asked for a change in sheets (due to some dirty spots found). This was because they only have 1 staff member at certain times of the day (this was at 2pm) therefore front desk person can't leave to help so anything."
"Very comfortable and welcoming place! A real hidden gem not too far away from the city. The house and property and gorgeous, the breakfast is big and delicious, and the programs that they run are great. I attended a Reiki circle that I found very helpful and relaxing. The shiatsu massage chairs are also excellent. I would return and I will recommend Rising Star!"

"We had a great stay at the Checkerboard guesthouse! My daughter and I were staying here for a dance competition, and the setup was perfect for us. There are two beautiful bedrooms and full amenities for a comfortable stay. We also enjoyed the hot tub! Highly recommended."
