    We loved our stay at Sassafras Springs. The cottage was very clean, very cozy. Grant was kind, and we especially loved the vegetable gardens.

    Clearly a lot of work has gone/goes into maintaining this place of 5 self contained cottages on large acreage with a beautiful view (nice walk through ancient fern woods) and great organic garden where you are welcome to pick vegetables and fruit...
