Our Story

As a family, we began hosting cyclists through “Warmshowers” and found such joy in it that we decided to open our own guest lodge once the children had grown up. We fell in love with 74 on Lockhart. Originally built by the Nicolson family, the house has undergone extensive renovations, transforming it into a charming property full of history. Since purchasing it in 2020, we have lovingly added our own personal touches.  Hosting guests has become a passion for us and we enjoy the opportunity to meet new people and share our home.

Our Vision

Our vision has always been to create a warm and peaceful space where guests can feel at home. We provide a memorable experience whether you are here to relax, explore, or celebrate a special occasion and our guests often comment that they feel cared for from the moment they arrive.
