No need to get in a car and drive anywhere – it's right outside the door. Guests are warned, however, to prepare well before setting out and understand their limits. It is a very LARGE area, indeed. Beyond our extensive private land, the forest extends for many, many miles, with steep climbs and descents. Glenmere was the summer home of George Harold Baker, a lawyer and politician who was the only MP in Canada to be killed in action. A bronze statue of Baker stands in the lobby of the House of Commons, commemorating his actions in WWI. Glenmere is also the final resting place of Baker's horse "Morning Glory", Canada's very own "War Horse." A plaque remains in the back of the house. For those who wish to know more about Colonel Baker or Morning Glory, please get in touch and I can provide more information. --- Most rooms have king-size beds, most with private bathrooms.

This well-loved house has its own charms and quirks -- like four staircases and a secret passage way. It is indeed a large country home, but it is not a hotel with staff. As this is a longer-term rental, guests will be asked to help out in terms of clearing paths of snow and making sure that the garbage is put out on the curb on time and in the correct manner. It is also in the middle of the woods so when things go wrong, like winter or summer storms, problems aren't immediately fixed. This is country living! -- Glenmere is about as old as Canada!
